Fund an expedition to sail west and find a new route by going the other way round the world
It has an extremely different vibe and gameplay. It's oriented around building and improving habitats for pokémon. Also you play a ditto.
It's a bad way to criticize a work of art you don't like, it's a bad way to criticize AI, it's a bad way to criticize another critic. It's just unsound on the face of it to be so prescriptive about something so nebulous and personal.
Any time I read a criticism that opens with this, I want to flip a table. *Your* purposes for engaging with that art form are perfectly fine, but they aren't The Purpose.
"The point of [art form] is—"
Shut the everloving fuck up. There is no Canonical Purpose to any form of art.
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

I need people to understand that Paralympians are just as elite as Olympians.
I seriously doubt he's thinking strategically like this, BUT the fact that he won't *sign* any other bills doesn't mean no other bills could become law. As long as Congress is in session, he can just sit on the bill for 10 days (Sundays excepted) and then it becomes law, just as if he had signed it.
I guess I should say he did the right thing for his investors by _prioritizing_ marketability — which is separate from whether he did it correctly
No idea, but is that relevant?
(He may have made a foolish PR decision, however, by publicly admitting to it.)
Docter made the right decision for his shareholders by making a more marketable movie rather than a more challenging or more virtuous one. This is what profit motives do to art.
I don't understand how anyone who cares at all about art can be in favor of capitalism when these are the incentives it creates.
Guy at Primus concert: It’s almost like heavier than heavy music. Because it’s so challenging.
Primus:
I’m a real funny bunny, and I know you’ll be my honey, when I put on my big wig and preen,
That hunter got a shock, when I went and called him doc, and started munching beta-carotene. YIPPEE!
There are 1.4 million people in Maine, and surely several hundred if not thousands of them have government experience greater than or equal to his. Pick someone who has never had a Nazi tattoo. It's not a high standard.
This is not a court of law, and the standard is not reasonable doubt. He has lost the presumption of good faith. He *might* be a Nazi, and that's enough to justify passing on him and finding someone else.
I've taken to blocking or muting any account on any platform that makes unsourced claims about current events. I do not want to see it, I do not want to be influenced by it, however subtly.
pokemon are always doing shit like "Drowzee used Crazy Floor! Drowzee started getting funky" and it won't tell you what that means. top competitive strategies will revolve around getting funky.
We thought we might be good with the money we got, but then utility bills came through after we got some food and now we're back in the negatives. Please help out if you can. Thank you.

Though that's mostly because I know the Xers and boomers still get their news that way. I find I prefer to know the biases of individual journalists — and there are *always* biases — rather than assuming news is straight fact because the source is "reputed".
There's a lot here to react to, but man, I wish here in the States we still had reputed broadcasting organizations
Setting aside the discussion of peoples' rights (which I think also multiply vindicate this position), distorting this ecosystem is simply criminally reckless. We have tried the world where children can de facto access any part of the internet they wish, and it just produced better adults
I MEAN COLD DEAD HANDS, THEY ARE DEFINITELY REAL
They can pry my em dashes from my cold, artificial hands
Although with the Steam Machine launching soon, maybe I just move all my gaming to that. My partner already has a Deck, so if we both want to play different things at the same time we'll have enough devices to go around.
I don't particularly like Windows, I just do like gaming. Linux and Mac gaming is way more viable than it used to be, but Windows still has better and easier support overall.
Crossing my fingers and hoping the bubble bursts before NPUs become widespread in consumer electronics, forcing Microsoft to pivot.
No one has ever told me that they would actually respect me if I knocked off this silly "insisting I'm a woman" business and just admitted I'm an effeminate gay man, despite the inconvenient fact that I have never once been attracted to men---a fact that gets me branded a predator for existing!
