The bit near the end with the panic attack hit me hard, like real hard. Maybe it's because how it was depicted was VERY close to my own experiences....

Well, I got myself into the pre-alpha testing of Raph's new game Stars Reach. It's an upcoming sandbox MMO with similarities, mechanics wise, to the pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies but with a complex world-simulation running under the hood and deformable terrain. Went through my first test last night...

I think the issue was they were getting so many arbitration requests that it was impacting their business. Probably figured it was easier just to get a judge to call the cases meritless and get them thrown out of court

Once again, arbitration clauses should be illegal. Valves reason for ditching them isn't exactly altruistic, though.

It's a bit more complicated than that. A lot of asylums were using dubious techniques that were doing more harm than good, resulting in a backlash against them which didn't exactly help them get extra funding and ended up getting not only the bad ones shut down but many of the good ones as...

Nintendo makes great games, but on the business side of things they are HORRIBLY anti-competitive an litigious. Have been for decades. It's not the first time they've used their patent portfolio and a bludgeon and likely won't be their last. This is the company that patented Dr Mario's...

My brain hurts after reading that. Too much stupid.

Similar default shortcut for KDE Plasma is Windows-w(it also defaults to being triggered by moving the mouse to the top-left of the screen, but I hate that, so I turn it off).

So Altman tanks the company by pissing off the talent and gets a bonus.... Sounds like Musk is just upset he didn't do it first.

Funny, always thought they were a for profit company.

Just goes to show he doesn't understand crime at all. Deputizing a bunch of vigilantes to fight crime won't solve anything, just get a bunch of innocent people hurt. Crimes would start back up immediately after the window ends. He also lumps in anyone who criticizes him as a criminal, which...

He also wasn't shot at the golf course, the only shots fired were by the secret service.

Likely only has concepts of a deal.

I tend to agree that we shouldn't care how long dead people think things should be run in today's society, but understanding what their thoughts on the matters of their day were can help us understand the past, and understanding the past is one of the best ways to understand why things are the...

Wouldn't be surprised if Elon buys it, but really I can see any wealthy extreme-right person looking for a propaganda platform to own to take a stab at buying it.

Procedural generation IS used in movies, and has been for a long time. Pixar developed a procedural hair system for Brave. The waves in Titanic, proceduraly generated by a set of rules. Only difference now is that they are moving the algorithms from the super-tedious things to the standard...

Heck, Carson wasn't even the first host of the series, he was the third. Was the longest running host, though. 30 years is quite a run.

I cringe any time people act like the founding fathers were all on the same page. Frankly, the fact that the Constitution was ratified at all is remarkable. Their views on states rights, slavery, the economy etc. all varied greatly.

Look, Ideally none of the attacks should have occurred, but if they ARE going to occur this sort of attack isn't nearly as bad as randomly firing rockets indiscriminately or using high yield explosives(much bigger blast radius that what we've seen here) to take out one person. It's a tragedy...

Sorry, Vance.... You're not Adam Savage, you can't reject this reality and replace it with your own.
