    It won't have the mainstream attention TLOU show got but it's a good second game turned show to hopefully encourage studios to actually utilize gaming properties properly. 

    I should have said 3 since Twisted Metal was good but Peacock is the steaming network good shows go to be forgotten.

    Yeah that was insanely fucking good X-Men Episode. Probably better than even the original. My favorite character got rekt RIP.

    He did go out like a G tho. I'm in the  second half of Fallout and the show managed to get better. I think they evened the tone a bit more at this point. The backstory stuff is great. Goggins deserves an Emmy for this role.

  3. I also don't get hatred of physical games. It's beyond dumb. Digital games are fine and have their strengths but a fully digital console turns the player into a gaming bitch. 

     

    You no longer own your games, and while the promise of sales and discounts and budget gaming are nice, they then decide what you pay for everything all of the time, not the market. 

     

    So instead of picking up a game on sale/discount at a store or ebay or whatever you can only get your games directly from Sony/MS/Nintendo when they decide, if they decide, and for how much they decide. Hell digital games literally cost the same as a physical game that has to account for printing materials, mastering, casing, manufacturing, and shipping.

    Lol I have to check this out but that number sounds like bullshit. Well not bullshit, but there's no way it's an apples to apples comparison. When you buy a physical game, thats all of the money spent on it. Hell, pre-owned games don't even get counted. 

     

    If you buy a physical or digital game then pay for the DLC, buy skins, pay a subscription, etc it's another story.

    They’re jumping ship, quick. 

    People get new jobs all of the time, you people are too old to act childish about everything. A friend of mine just quit Google to work at Spotify. Is that jumping ship? 

     

    The industry is in perpetual flux and also people seem new challenges, seek more money, but mostly prevent their careers from stagnation.

    Lol Trump is scared

    If Trump was scared he'd be throwing dirt on RFK, not flowers. If RFK was a threat to Trump, his allies wouldn't be still giving RFK a platform or speaking well of him.

     

    At this point you're just being retarded about the RFK thing for no reason. This isn't working, I know you think you look like some high minded radical or something but you actually look dumber and more right wing bot like holding on to this. 

     

    I know you hate admitting you're a right winger and try to look unbiased or "based" as the kids say but like you've only said a kind word about two Democrats in the past decade and they both happened to the Democrats that appeared mostly in right wing media to warm receptions. 

     

    Of all of the grass roots Democrats, DS', Working Families candidates, or independents you manage to only like the two democrat right wingers liked.

    One time it's wrong and that means it's wrong forever? 

    Presidential polls are erratic because of a number of factors including and mostly the electoral college and also the nature of call surveys. Where people under report their intentions. Like people who would vote for Trump but also wouldn't say it out loud because he's a piece of shit Racist/sexist.

     

    The nature of the survey itself and how it was conducted. The internet is full of bs polls, especially net based ones. For governor, or mayor voter polling data is a bit more consistent because the poling would be sourced locally from true likely voters.

     

    If a thousand people are polled across the country, there are many unreliable factors that arise unless it's a high level poll that is careful to strategically pick subjects in a control manner. All polls aren't equal to begin with. It's wise to take any with a grain of salt at face value.

    He's only a spoiler if you feel America should be a duopoly in perpetuity. And you're a cunt. 

    More parties doesn't automatically mean more democracy. The more parties you have the smaller amount of people you have electing winners. 

     

    One of accidental benefits is you have half of the country who picked the President Vs having 1/3 or 1/4 of the country picking.

     

    The far more plausible change is for voters to actually vote on issues and candidates rather than party allegiance.

    The most recent episode of X’Men ‘97 was an all-time episode of tv and may be the finest cartoon episode ever. Holy fuck, that was incredible. 

     

    I binged Severance and that is probably the best show of the 2020’s so far. My only issue is waiting for season 2. 
     

    Also, really enjoyed the premier episode of Fallout. Hope it can keep up. The showrunners did give us at least one greatest single seasons of show with Westworld. 

    Nolan also did Person of interest which is one of my favorite shows of the 2000s. I had no idea he was connected to Fallout. 

     

    X-men 97 is way better than it deserves to be. I do have some issue with pacing. In five episodes we've had the Trail of Magneto, Inferno, the Adversary, Madelyn Pryor, Cables origin, and the fall of Genosha as well as shoe horned content from various backstories and had a filler episode and if I'm right they will be introducing a MAJOR X character that has never been used before. 

     

    With that said, Episode 5 is a major story and I am surprised they played it out. I definitely want to see where they are headed with it. 

     

    Edit: also fuck whoever decided to kill my second favorite Xman. That shit didn't sit well with me lol. 

  10. 3 episodes into Fallout. Show is satisfactory, I'm entertained. I've never played a Fallout game so it's all new to me. I'm just confused by the black guy character.

     

    They show his motivation...sort of but it's like I can't get if he's supposed to be good or bad. It makes his scenes less interesting but it's still early so time will tell. 

     

    Everyone else is fine, the main girl is pleasant to look at for an hour straight and I'll watch Walter Goggins in anything.

    Can I just have an AI that doesn’t force a political ideology on me? Is that to much to ask?

     

     

    There's no such thing as woke AI or non woke AI. It's just how stupid people like Elon Musk see the world. The point I tried to make in the other Ai thread is strong guard rails need to be put in place and it's use competently utilized. Just leaving Ai to do it's own thing unsupervised is really stupid. 

  12. I guess the woke Ai thread died with the forum switch. Anyways, what had happened was... Twitter made two different Ai features live at the same time. One that creates content from the lovely geniuses that pay for Twitter blue and creates articles based on trending data and another to pool and highlight trending news.

     

    In addition to this the feature also posted fake news about Iran missile striking Isreal. 

     

    Another thing that the article didn't mention is the number of cops the story created which is more than the entire NYPD force has ever had. In parsing the jokes that had varying numbers from 1,000 to 5,000, the Ai just came up with the 50,000 number.

    Grok appears to be aggregating joke tweets and spitting out an AI-generated answer as genuine news. You can see that from this post shared by X user BrettRedacted following the earthquake that shook much of the New York City metro area. The bot generated the headline: "Adams vs. Earthquake: 50,000 Cops in Subway Showdown," then reports how New York City Mayor Eric Adams is deploying the NYPD to "prevent further earthquakes," considering using "robo cops," and has ordered "every cop in the city" to "shoot the damn earthquake before it strikes again."

  13.  

     

    So, it happened two days in a row lol. This time aggregating jokes and creating a news story about the Earthquake.

     

    This is what I was talking about in the "woke" Google ai thread. The biggest problem with AI is what it will be used for by businesses trying to save money and generate content utilizing AI, and what pools of information said AI will be pulling from. 

     

    The second story came from harmless jokes at the expense of Eric Adams public perception but the first was because of the unusual high amounts of racist post from twitter blue users.
