@caitiedelaney Okay, since no one else is asking, why is the video so fucked up? Pillar-boxing aside, what on Earth is going on with the actual video? It looks like a shitty combination of AI upscaling and bad filters.

@TheCartelDel Microsoft Word will autocorrect a "true" em dash from two hyphens immediately after word. Not sure about Pages' behavior, if any.

@alch - one hyphen – two hyphens written in google docs — true em dash

@TheCartelDel Most (all?) word-processors will simply autocorrect two hyphens as em-dash, though...

@NateSilver538 Ed is speaking to viability, you're focused on disruption. Fair. File-sharing was highly disruptive, but didn't make money. Sticking to numbers: the AI companies most-poised for success are generating everything except profit. It's been years. How many more years can that last?

@NateSilver538 I've never had access to media who are as left and as mainstream as the mainstream right is right. Good joke. Everybody laugh.

What's kind of funny is that the left, the MAGA right, resistance libs, and various flavors of centrists all feel like they're the contrarians right now, when actually the media is more ideologically pluralistic than it has been in a long time.

@majuular When I fell in love with the game its tech and dialogue were cutting edge. It wasn't smirking or ironic. Not everything with rough edges, especially if time is unkind, automatically becomes "The Room" of its medium.

This might be based on my own nostalgia, but isn't half the fun of Oblivion watching a bunch of hilarious-looking NPCs with one of three potential voice actors interact with dysfunctional gameplay systems? If this is removed, I fear so too will the soul of Oblivion will be lost.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake is reportedly real, and built in Unreal Engine 5. The remake is developed by Virtuos and will feature improvements to gameplay systems like stamina, blocking, and stealth in addition to remade visuals. (Source: mp1st.com/news/the-elder…)

@Boltstrike_ I feel like Ryu's super also connects real weird... There's just a level of inherent jank to SF6 that makes it genuinely feel like a total conversion mod of some other game.

@jchensor I might similarly compare it to playing against human beings vs against the computer... Very different skill sets, and one is likely to teach bad habits against the other!

To oversimplify an explanation, against strong players we expect them to adjust. And we try to adjust ahead of them. With weaker players, if something is working, keep doing it. And try the simple, fundamental things first. Don’t be overly creative if you don’t need to.

One of the things that always stuck in my head was a conversation Mike Ross and Gootecks had with Renic where he was complaining about losing to players weaker than him and Mike Ross told him, “You forgot how to fight scrubs.”
NoGoodCitizen@NoGoodCitizen

this is easy and applicable to virtually every FG, controlling players that have ass gameplay is an entirely different skillset than understanding how to properly fight a competent experienced player. modern FGs leave a lot of room on the table to be ass and still get some wins.

@alch @SkylerforNY Then what do you mean if I was a 1%er I’d pay more that $15? Do the 1% pay more than the other 99%?

@jlr_1982 @SkylerforNY Tax payers don't cover its deficit. It's a loan to itself because it has to fully fund pensions. It has to be more efficient than a business because Republicans keep trying to sabotage it.

@alch @SkylerforNY And I repeat: That’s why it loses money and needs tax payers to cover the deficit If it was, we wouldn’t have to pay billions in taxes to keep it running And b/c it’s not a business, it’s not as efficient as a business, b/c it doesn’t have to be efficient Hope that helps

@alch @SkylerforNY Forget making a profit. They don’t even break even. And then the tax payers make up the deficit. That is not efficient, and if a business ran like that, it would not be in business for long, because they wouldn’t have a tax payer safety net.

@jlr_1982 @SkylerforNY It took Amazon ten years to make a profit. They were trying really, really hard. The USPS is not trying to make a profit. That is not its purpose. That is not its purpose in the Constitution.

@alch @SkylerforNY This is 100% false. They operate at a $11b- $19b loss annually. If you consider that “more efficient than any private co.” You don’t know much about efficient businesses.
