So for the trans stuff there's a decent summary and opinion here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/cdpr-is-a-transphobic-company-its-time-we-stop-making-excuses-for-them.307474/

I personally (I know I'm the one who started this chain) didn't have too much of an opinion on the trans stuff as I'm not in that space at all, so kind of defaulted to that community's opinion. Not great, company had room to improve.

They're kind of full of the corporate non-apologies and didn't handle it the greatest. Everything after was them trying to save face I think. To their credit they did ultimately fire the responsible party. And if it was just that I might have left it thinking they screwed up, hopefully they learn.

But then GoG did their Nazi thing and I'm thinking if I keep smelling smoke there's a fire ya know?

Cool, I'll look at it just as soon as the evidence they aren't anti-trans Nazis comes in.

Not really. The time to money ratio is so different for all of them and there's no way to compare.

I spend $20 and go to the movies and that's it. I'm there for 2 hours no more money spent.

I spend $20 on sports betting and ten minutes later I can do it again and ten minutes later I can do it again and again and again. I know people who drop hundreds every weekend on it. I literally can not spend enough time in a theater to drop the same amount of money.

Most of the complaints against Tesseract weren't even that he had the filter. It's that he hid the filter, tried to obfuscate it's existence, and did not give people ways to disable it or alter it for themselves.

Like they said, I've not got much uses for a Tesseract.

It's also a Marvel universe mcguffin that let's you hop through time and space.

Now a hypersphere...

The JavaScript looks pretty standard, just with new lines removed.

Most teachers I've seen already do and are terrified of what they're seeing it do to their students

More like you as an average person have no idea what it's hallucinating and what is the truth and may end up in jail or the hospital like the cases that are starting to get reported on who did just that.

Sorry, his fanboys started foaming at the mouth and y'all missed a bit. He said.

"Money won't matter in 2036 because of AI and robots consuming all the resources and nobody tracking climate change. There will be none of us left to need the money"

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 21 points 2 days ago

I second this mostly.

Just need to make sure you look in the science backed audiophile places and not the cable lift snake oil sections

Including profits! Woohoo! Now musk and Trump can afford even more golf courses and slaves!

Have you looked at the record heatwaves hitting the world? We should be reducing meat and dairy and dismantling "AI" data centers. Trading one for the other is nowhere near enough.

 

Howdy folks.

A friend of mine has been itching to play some DnD and I drew the short straw to run it. I don't think we have time for more than a one shot so I come for ideas.

Normally I'm good with coming up with stuff but she wants to do something where they get to play as evil instead of your typical heroes. My problem is everything I come up with just feels like typical hero quest but called evil. Like "kidnap the princess" just feels like a re-skin of "rescue the princess". Hoping y'all have something more to get me thinking.

I am aware of the Critical Role Mordor one shot that I'll take some inspiration from.

Thanks in advance y'all
