  • To be fair I feel like college is way less about teaching you anything specific and way more about teaching you critical thinking and abstract conceptualization.

    Like I didn't learn jack shit from my "American economical development in the 14th century" class but I did genuinely get good at telling good sources from bad ones while writing essays, and that IS a skill that has uses in life

  • Starfield is the latest game to be boycotted by conservatives. This time because of pronouns

    Jump

  • I mean right, I'm just saying that the general political landscape didn't flip overnight on some evening in 1976 or whatever. It was a slow shift over the back quarter of the last century culminating in our more modern party structure.

    Conservatives still exist on the Democratic side of the aisle today, but there's less of them than 5 years ago and that was less than 10 years ago etc etc.

  • Tbf most conservatives probably haven't played BG3 or know much of anything about it/forgotten realms. They aren't exactly the target audience

  • The comment had said "conservatives" which is true. Only recently did Democrats start leaning more towards progressivism, and even then they are still mostly a Centrist party

  • I'm not denying it's impact on modern gaming, I'm just saying it's old. Like it certainly deserves a spot in the gaming hall of fame but it doesn't really stack up against more modern RPGs. Technology is moving forward and so should games, yet Bethesda is so stuck on Skyrim they have refused to innovate for a comically long time

  • Another Starfield Post

    Jump

  • I mean I'm gonna have to agree with the guy though. Skyrim was all but earth shattering.. In 2011. Have you tried playing it recently? It feels old and repetitive. There is obviously still some fun to be had and some memorable bits but on the whole it's just outdated plain and simple.

    I think the vast majority of enjoyment people derive from it is nostalgia driven which I can totally respect, but that only lasts for like 4-5 hours once a year tops. I feel like a new player who never touched it in the golden years would likely get bored fast

  • I mean I will readily accept that the internet is a fickle place and nothing is ever as black and white as it would seem but there has been a metric fucktonne of examples lately for why Teslas are just straight up bad cars. Cheap materials, poorly wired electronics, broken features, etc.

    Like just casually scroll through any car subreddit or other online forum and you'll see people recording their Teslas just breaking down.

  • Hey hey hey Strangle Thorn Vale is fucking miserable dude, leveling there is basically asking to get ganked by some max level player farming world buffs. Easily as bad as the two part system

  • To be fair "neoliberalim" is a really misleading name. It does basically just mean "proto-conservative" which can be really confusing if you don't already know what you're talking about

  • I mean if he actually got into med school then he must have some interest. Med school is hard as fuck to get into, you either have to be really fucking smart or super dedicated. So your brother clearly has something going for him.

    Hell even if he failed out he still got in and that's impressive. Maybe cut the guy some slack?

  • Not The Onion

  • I feel like"lean" is a little too generous. They are aggressively right. 99% of their content is just mocking LGBT, leftists, or younger generation ideologies

  • Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election

    Jump

  • It's possible I'm misremembering. I thought in their initial statement about his not losing protection while incarcerated they had mentioned that it would be impossible to protect him while he's in an open cell block but perhaps that was my dumb lizard brain saying the quiet part out loud. Either way I don't think they would just let that happen without significant uproar.

    Idk maybe I can allow myself to feel an ounce of optimism. I do like the idea of something actually good happening for once lol

  • Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’

    Jump

  • I mean, it's certainly possible that the government/wall street/etc have a bigger, better, and more powerful AI model but I wouldn't exactly call it likely.

    AI as a technology is still in it's infancy in many ways, I highly doubt the government has some crazy new Sci Fi engine capable of much more than "the free version from a website". Faster computation and better data processing? maybe. But the limits of what is technologically possible are still limits even if your employer is 3 letters.

  • To each their own indeed. If you want see this as cause to celebrate who am I to rain on your parade, I truly hope you have the right of it.

    I'm just exhausted from all of the "final nail in the coffin"s this guy has had. Ive gotten excited for some actual justice just to be disappointed 1 too many times I guess. Even now, any federal charges are gonna just get pardoned as the first act of the next republican president for some quick and easy brownie points amongst their base.

    The only hope for lasting consequences is realistically Georgia and even ignoring that they are pretty deeply purple, the Secret Service has pretty explicitly said they will not allow Trump to go to prison.. Now I personally am of the belief that they can pound sand since they have no jurisdiction over this. However I do not get to make the call, and as stated above I have been let down too many times..

    Maybe this is actually it and maybe I'm just too jaded and not seeing the big picture.. I just can't bring myself to be optimistic anymore man

  • Would you rather be a cowboy, a pirate or a samurai?

    Jump

  • Samurai kinda always bangs though.

    In the early years of their existence they were just mercenaries, but they had horses (expensive) and were pretty much only hired by nobility (decent accommodations)

    By the end they were automatically nobility themselves, even to this day if you were still a "samurai" you'd either be a descendent of a wealthy family or a famous figure for 1 reason or another. Not a bad life
