Because of social media. If you open youtube in a private browser window your stream is filled with alt right desinformation. Same with tiktok. Somehow social media stockholmed the population into blaming the left while right parties have been fucking up the Netherlands the last 20 year with their neo-liberal skullfuckery.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, by a wide margin. Skyrim/Morrowind are in the top 5.

Canon is ‘being allowed to exist’ solely for ASML to escape monopoly lawsuits.

This has less to do with politics and more with insurance. Parties that don’t tag along are seen as unpatriotic and will become obsolete in the very near future. Parties that do tag along sign their names on the war manifest with blood. They can’t excuse themselves later when the world condemns the inevitable bloodbath and will help hold up their decision for eternity. If Netanyahu falls, they fall with him.

Too bad about the UB crap. I love the flavor of Ixalan, I love Jurassic Park, but this UB shit just sucks.

It would be way easier to just not make UB crap. It also would help with not deluding an existing IP and prevent player fatigue. This is just corporate PR speak to try to calm invested player concerns, but ultimately as long as profits go up, they keep pushing with this bullshit until Magic The Gathering is dead.

Give me a source that shows the blatant and deliberate anti China rhetoric about the ‘spy balloon’.

I’m not the one making bald claims. The onus is on the one with the claims. Just show me some sources!

1 I don’t know this outlet, nor am inclined to use perceived pedigree to determine the quality of news. I’d like to see sources, not news dresses as opinions. 2 Opinion pieces that try to be credible need sources or else I will disregard them as petty trolling. The title makes a bold claim, I want sources backing up that claim. 3 that ‘source’ is also an opinion peace without any sources.

Just show me where mainstream media is deliberately bashing China. If it’s that rampant it can’t be that hard right?

I have been following media intensively. I am not saying that news about China is unbiased in the western media. I am calling out the lack of any sources in this weak ‘article’

I read this ‘article’. There are zero references towards the so called ‘China Bashing’. If it is so rampant, how hard can it be to just link to a few mainstream offenders? It alludes towards a deliberate bashing, once again without any links or merit. I am fully aware that news is hardly unbiased but come on, this is ridiculous.

Interesting. Since Unity acquired Weta we haven’t seen any Unity game stuff using that technology.

I understand that authors and artists in a more general sense are very, very concerned. The problem is that this has nothing to do with AI. If I were to generate a story based on their work, I simply cannot distribute it without legal repurcusions. Doesn’t matter if I used AI or not. The problem lies, once again, at the publishers. They can churn out copy after copy using AI and abuse the artist in that regard. Something similar is happening with DC Fables and it’s creator(who in a gigachad move just threw the entire IP into the public domain).So what we need is copyright reform. Artists deserve to be paid adequately for their work and should be protected from being ‘impersonated’ by publishers using whatever means, not strictly AI. All these ban AI discussions miss the underlying point completely, being copyright reform. AI just sped up the proces 100 times.

That’s ceo material.

There’s also koekwaus

Monster Hunter World/Rise. After mastering monsters it becomes a grind for parts.

So what you are saying, is basing current morality and worldview on 1400 year old scriptures is not wise?

Soy beans are delicious!

Worse, central bank issued digital money. https://www.reuters.com/technology/limited-support-central-bank-digital-currencies-global-investment-industry-2023-07-26/

Not behaving? Can’t buy or sell anymore. Reached your carbon limit for this month? Can’t pay for that steak anymore, buy some soy beans instead.

The first one that dies in a war is the truth. Every party tries to steer the narrative. It’s hard to keep a neutral stance. Fact is that Russia invaded a sovereign country under the false pretenses of ‘denazification’ and ‘military operation’. No Ukraine is not a shining beacon of democracy. Yes they were open for nato membership, yes US politics was heavily involved, and no their special treaty with Russia to not do so does not fucking matter because Russia already invaded Ukraine in 2014 making that treaty void. If Russia wants peace, all they need to do is leave Ukraine, super simple. We all know that won’t happen because Putin’s small dick ego can’t handle that.
