We insource our torture. Outside firms never get our branding right and it sends mixed messages to our consumers and adversaries. That said, having a single app for laundering services in each region’s major currency would save me a lot of time and burner phones

Reminder: steam deck verified has to do with the game launching and having gamepad support. Performance doesn’t matter that much. Wait until you see benchmarks before you make decisions, the game can still run like shit on steam deck

I recently watched Flow and with enough care and effort a movie doesn’t need dialog to be impactful and well done. There is often a large gulf between what is possible and what they’re going to do but I’ll be interested to see where this goes

I get what you’re saying but so far in my experience here the vast majority of AI content is at least identified as such. AI content is here to stay and in my opinion attempts to remove/ban it will just make it more insidious. If you go back to Reddit AI posts/comments are everywhere and absolutely none of it is labeled. On lemmy people get to choose to interact with it which I think is probably way better

Capitalism, HO!

Inspired by MTG I’d say a Displacer Kitten. Basically a house cat sized version of a Displacer Beast, either naturally young or kept young with magic. All the cuteness of a kitty with the deadliness of a Displacer Beast

Club House Games is an easy recommendation. 51 games that are classics around the world. You probably know how to play the majority of them already. Likewise a Nintendo switch online subscription is the price of a game for a year and comes with N64, GBA, GBC, SNES, NES, and Dreamcast games. Pokémon stadium 1/2, Ecco the dolphin, Kirby super-star saga, Kirby dream course are all good

A. Fucking. Men. Brother

Great point. I’m sure like most things related to shitty American politics if you go back far enough there’s Reagan bullshit in there too. We had a lot of opportunities to not be here, and yet here we are

“Hey I know just made more money than the Roman empire was worth by manipulating politics but ummmmm… could you please make rules that stop you from beating everyone else?”

The time to stop this was in 2016. Democrats had every opportunity and continued to fellate their corporate overlords instead of even paying lip service to their base. We’re in the “find out” phase. I’m sorry you’re losing your job, but guess what, it only gets worse from here

I know this is all about optics, but I’m sure for all the people who have had to deal with the criminal justice system they also know how shitty it is. 91% of cases result in a guilty plea, 7% end up in some sort of dismissal and only 2% actually go to trial. The system is built to make being guilty the easiest choice, and your lawyer will do everything in their power to get you to take it

From what I’ve heard a truckload of money is basically the only thing that could have brought Frankie back, so I have to assume that’s the case

I’ll be interested to see how many people return. Obviously you want the whole main family but I’d like to see Stevie, Craig, and Dabney too. The most interesting opportunity they have is Jamie considering they almost certainly won’t use the original kids. Aaron Paul would be a funny choice obviously, but I don’t think he can convincingly play someone in their early 30s/late 20s. I think tonally Letterkenny has a similar humor and specifically if Nathan Dales can do a convincing American accent I think he’d be a great choice, though that’s a very big if

I don’t know who this is for but one of us clearly misplaced it:

The known liars with a 12% error rate? I don’t know why you wouldn’t believe them

As a North Carolina resident who had the exact same thing happen, no. You just get screwed and there’s no repercussions for the elected official

Yeah defund the checks notes private non-profit organization run on donations! Oh that’s not what defunding means? He knows that and is watering down the word? He’s doing it so when he slashes funding from the regulatory agencies built to keep shit heads like him in line the MAGA chuds will cheer for him?

It’s sad because it’s obvious what he’s doing, and yet it’s going to work anyway

It also depends on strict you are about the rule. A divine soul sorcerer/celestial warlock comes with minor healing. I’d also want the team to have familiars and summons to try to eat some damage until you get the really good crowd control effects

I think your average murder hobos would get themselves killed pretty quickly in this game. However if you had a group that was willing to meta-game a little to spread out the caster types you could make it work. You’d likely need to plan each encounter to make sure people knew their role in the fight. Making it to level 5 would probably be the hardest part of the game

Calling electric cars part of a hype cycle feels a little disingenuous to me. Either we get rid of cars, society ends, or all cars go electric. Considering that option 1 causes option 2 unless there’s a revolutionary tech breakthrough, I think it’s safe to assume electric cars are the future. Also I don’t forsee a peak in hype for them, there’s generally a lot of resistance to electric cars

Aside from the random dig at electric cars, I largely agree with this article. I don’t think the chicken coop machine learning example is quite clear to non-technical people, but I think it’s probably appropriate for the lemmy userbase
