@myforestfoods just wanted to say, as a veg who misses real meat.... I've tried a LOT of fake bacon products. Your mybacon product is the best fake bacon I've ever had by FAR. Plus, I feel like It's got to be healthier for me than beyond or impossible stuff. AMAZING WORK!

@snowmaker @toinfinityai @lina_colucci Why is a world full of fake content better than the one we have?

Today @toinfinityai made history with the first completely AI-generated YC demo day presentation. Here's their full demo day video, featuring @lina_colucci's AI clone.

@snowmaker @toinfinityai @lina_colucci Annnnnd it's already being used to generate white supremacist content. studio.infinity.ai/feed/379

@dribbble looks like you removed sign-in with twitter. Totally understand now that it's a shitty, unreliable platform. However - how can I access my account now that its gone?

@paulg @casparhenderson @robertnpalmer Paul do you seriously believe any successful founder wouldn't be able to earn a higher than 2% avg return on their wealth over the course of their 60yr lifetime? You use math as your sword but neglect reality in the process

@casparhenderson @robertnpalmer If you start a successful company in your 20s and then live another 60 years, a 2% wealth tax will over the course of your life consume 70% of your stock. paulgraham.com/wtax.html

@memelorrd @InfinityWard Lol consider yourself lucky, I've been getting DC'd from ranked games for months now. I've lost over 1500SR to disconnects.

@InfinityWard I can’t look either. I spawn in like that and I can’t look left right up or down. And I’m losing SR because you can’t test an update before you release it. Am I going to be given my 100sr and 30 mins penalty’s back? I’ve never once left a ranked game….

We are aware of an issue affecting FPS for some players at the start of matches and when editing loadouts. 🔎We are currently investigating.

@InfinityWard Stop focusing on skins and cosmetics and actually QA your game, and listen to the playerbase. It's no wonder COD is losing players. Overwatch is sounding good right now.

@Treyarch Queing into a ranked match got stuck. We had to turn off the game. Lost 100 SR. Please fix this bug it's infuriating

@LunchTime_YT @CallofDuty Get this man to the top 250 ASAP

@CallofDuty TOP 250 IM COMIN

@jackie_ros My last company paid $50k for one. For a first logo that you don't intend to keep, you could go as low as a few $100. Remember, good branding is branding, not just a logo. That takes creativity & knowledge of your customers & generally you get what you pay for.

Curious your thoughts. For initial brand work to create a logo and brand guidelines how much would you expect to pay?

@TrueGameData No meta I loved more than the Bruen meta

Where are my OGs? My Grau Deleter that I posted on Reddit before I made TGD, before the Bruen meta

@TrueGameData Controller is basically aimbot, it's ridiculous. Switched for the first time the other day and I was frying and I've literally never played warzone on controller before. So stupid

Got a bunch done today. Will be trying to test the new weapons in live matches tomorrow if private lobbies are not back yet Played some tonight and leveled the new guns in BR and had a good time :) I'm going to dedicate to learning controller I think, for my own sanity haha

@TrueGameData I’m also not a mortgage broker so I don’t know everything, just a guy slogging through it right now. My mortgage broker is super chill and helpful though if you want to ever get his feedback on what you need to do

@AlsoColor Definitely worried about this. Not sure I'd even be able to get a mortgage with my current employment. We will see though

People who know more about this than me... how dumb would it be to buy a house in the next 6 months or so? I am tired of renting, I'd love to get a small house... but I know how bad the market has been recently

@TrueGameData And finally, if TGD is gangbusters right now, and you have tons of cash in the bank, you can actually use that cash as collateral for your loan, since if it’s an LLC it’s actually your money. There’s a bunch of tricks you can pull to get over the hump

@TrueGameData Another thing you can do btw is add a co-signer like your parents, they don’t even have to have any skin in the game, but their income will be added to yours and your approval will go way up!

@TrueGameData On the bright side you might be forced to wait, and I do think the market is headed for some pretty low times in the next year. I’d try to get set up so that you’re good to buy in 2023

@TrueGameData You can! But that’s assuming you have your corporate structure set up (I assume it’s an llc) and you have been operating for 2 years with revenue (which I don’t think you have =\). They’ll take your 2 years and average them, and use that to set your income. It’s a huge pain

@TrueGameData I don't think they're worse now. But there are a lot more "low effort" releases than ever. Remakes, sequels where nothing changes, etc. Basically the ratio of new original games and gameplay to boring rehashes and buggy releases is all skewed. Game companies refuse to take risks

Highly controversial opinion, but I actually dont think games used to be better than they are now. I just think we were kids and everything seemed better back then

@abs Thank you for the insight. This is terrifying, and shows how effective culture wars and propaganda can be.
