I have plans.... But other games are already in the pipeline.
With paramount success for my current endeavours, It's still 3+ years out...
I think being a billionaire actually drives people mad.
You can tempt a man with sin, you can tempt a man with wealth, but give him power, and you will see the evil of his heart.
It is the very nature of man to use our power to shape our environment. We all do it within the limits of our power. A poor man can do good by raising his children right, or he can rob, steal and abandon. The limits of his power set how far his influence may spread.
The greater the limits on his power, the greater evil he can accomplish. Unfortunately throughout history, there have been very few checks on the evil of powerful men. One can only use our limited power to support those few good men who have more power than us.
Recently watched Lois & Clark (1990s) with the fam, and there's a pretty good Christmas episode that also has the second most iconic villain of the entire show: Twas the Night Before Mxymas
There were other Christmas episodes in the show, but that one is now one of my favourite episodes.
Basically, anyone retarded enough to treat it as a real entity, or use language that suggests they view it as a real entity, gets put into the "saftey room?"
IDK guys, sounds like the right call to me.
The Chinese version of cancel culture: whip up a mob and beat you to death on a street corner.
When CC was first getting going here people were warning about what was already happening in china.
Have you ever heard the Dems accuse one of their own of being a "DINO"?
lol, yes, they do it all the time. Step out of the ecochamber sometime.
As mentioned Manchin, Sinema and Fetterman get called DINOs for not towing the party line.
I got all my prizes 20 years ago, and try pretty hard not to bother most of the time, but old habbits and all.
Someone needs to do a bit about the horseshoe theory of stupidity, and the dialogue around AI is prime material for it.
And what are the people who argue against that concept like they are actually going to win a prize for proving the AI is not omniscient?
I'm not sure you actually understand what human leadership has been for the last fifty years. If anything they've made a science out of using words to control people.
The difference between magic and science is only perception. Both can be equally true or false, and evidence clearly indicates the population at large is easily controlled with words.
That last 50 years of people NOT believing this is not a sign of progress, but what made it even easier to control them.
Bill Clinton was seen as a Conservative democrat.
Believe it or not, back in the days when republicans and democrats could still sit around the restaurant bar and talk/joke about politics, everyone was viewed through the lens of conservative/liberal no matter what party they were in.
As the dem party took a hard left with 0bummer, conservative dems shifted toward the MAGA party. Unfortunately the GOP crust and donor class is still primarily liberal.
It's playing victim over the next largest social event they could latch onto so the conversation is no longer about how THEY MURDERED CHARLIE KIRK FOR HIS SPEECH.
There is a growing divide between the people who do believe it's magic omnecent god-like being, and those who push back against that specific belief.
Somewhere in the middle is the people who actually understand what an LLM is, what it's capabilities and uses are, while the two extremes get harder and harder to even have a conversation with.
A wink and a nod that's not-so-subtlely pointed against some fundamental christian value is the only kind of humour leftists understand or are legally allowed to laugh at. That's what happened.
It seems more like a deflection campaign to me.
"No, he wasn't radicalised in our sponsored online radical groups that have safe harbor everywhere! It was games I tell you, GAMES!"
Take a closer look at one of the earliest: https://communities.win/c/Gaming/p/1AR0QBlqan/geraldo-rivera-blames-halo-for-t/c
my guess is the accused killer will probably have been motivated more by Halo and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord.
Your fish werent being supplied
This is another huge hole in the MMO economy that does not make a good analogy for the real world:
Fish rots.
You can't just have an over abundance of things lying around to dump on the market when demand suddenly rises. People would have thrown out their excess fish a LONG time ago.
An entire, massive segment of the economy is the economy of scale and shipping things in a timely fashion before the goods go bad. None of this is represented in any MMO economy that I am aware of.
What they DO represent well, however, is Fiat currency and inflation when more currency is simply dumped into the economy with each new update.
It's right there in the recommendation.
On KCD in the recomended list:
"Studio head called out violence against Kirk! "
For perspective: There were more people in this one stadium showing support than we have seen of the vile demons.
Didn't we already see some posts from his tranny circle freaking out that the death penalty is being sought?
My money is on panic because he never thought he would face a death penalty, on top of fully believing he'd already got away with it when he was bragging.
I do not ever remember a time when it was socially acceptable to cheer on a political assassination.
If this had happened 20, 30, 40 years ago, people would have been fired, ostracised by friends, family, etc.
Cancel Culture was getting people fired simply for disagreeing with the left wing. Openly celebrating a murder is an entirely different thing and would never have been okay before the words "cancel culture" were even in the public dialogue.
It's pure and simple gaslighting to continue the comparison.
I've got an idea, let's just ban crime?
Demoncrats everywhere: "YOU RACIST FACIST PIG!@!!!"
And they put Free Speech in quotation marks.
maybe that's just because I have kids too
I barely paid much attention to Charlie, not sure I had watched more than one video of him speaking, and it hit me pretty hard. Post factum, I am realising we all just lost a brother.
Looking into his last few weeks/months, Charlie wasn't just playing the role of conservative talker and political pundant, he was well on his way to stepping into the shoes of a young Billy Graham.
This IS different.
" it was Charlie Kirk's goal to provoke people..." to think.
How dare he!
Individually it's "at least they are not" but they've got the numbers to outstrip every other problem through sheer brute force, and people are only realising this when the problem is already too big to solve peacefully.
Canadian's for example have by and large lost tolerance for the jeet infestation, but it's effectively too late, because even the idea of slowing the faucet is still taboo.
Do you have a loicense for that Ninja????
It was a meme in the 70s. An entire (original) pink panther movie was about Crusoe being arrested for various license failures.
