Ooooh that’s gunna be a hefty fine. Hope he has a lot of money, but if he’s doing something like this, he probably doesn’t travel much, so probably isn’t terribly well off.

Way to fuck your life up for narcissism.

Tons of people would pay-per-view that, if only for morbid curiosity. You could sell limited numbers of commemorative recordings in big collector packs and everything. They will be worth trumps fortune in a few years only (since that doesn’t really exist).

Sure sure it’s immoral and unethical to sell commemoratives of someone’s death to pay for the costs to bring about said death.. but like… meh. He’s done way more harm than this would.

Throw musk and zuck in there with him, just for good measure, and our healing can begin.

“We”..?

Look, I know we are all on this planet together and stuff, but the vast majority of us aren’t doing anything at all that depletes resources at a too-fast rate.

Sure, most people in developed countries have some things they could do in their daily lives to be more efficient, like being a no-scrap-left-behind sort, and if they can practically implement those changes they absolutely should, but that actually makes an insanely small difference in the grand scheme, and requires a ton of individual effort, which makes any change unlikely to stick.

Instead, let’s look at the individuals (rich people) and companies (most companies) who are using more than a reasonable share of the resources, and force us as consumers and employees to use more (throw-away culture via product design, commute especially via private transportation, dress codes, etc.) and, you know, make them stop doing that..? If we did that, and made some changes to infrastructure/zoning/public transit, individual change would necessarily follow with very little individual effort, and thus be more likely to succeed.

Here’s the thing though..

I’ve bought now three single-player (with online features) games on console not realizing the servers had already been shut down for whatever reason within a year or two of launch. I can’t play them, and I really wanted to.

Sure they might not have made money off me this time around, but if they put out a game in the future and I’d been able to play these, I’d be more likely to try those and give them my money. Instead, because I wasted money on these year-old games that were already trashed, I just won’t touch anything from those studios ever again, since they clearly don’t believe in their games at all. It makes me look real long and hard into how “online” they are.. if I need an internet connection to solo play? Immediately not interested, which is becoming much more limiting as that gets more common.

Meanwhile, if I ever bother setting up my ps2 with an Ethernet cable, I can play with other people who have the same setup with 20+ year old games (like champions of norrath, last I played that “online” was about 10 years ago, but it seems to spin up an on-demand server for whomever is available).

There’s tons of games that still have all of their DLC listed for ridiculous amounts 15 years after the game comes out, I guess I just don’t understand why they would scrap all that work when there’s other viable options that could potentially have future returns.. instead they just close the door entirely.

I said the exact same thing months ago when I saw that video. I don’t even use a toaster.

I’m not into dating sims but.. this looks entertaining all the same.

I probably wouldn’t buy it, but I’d love to play a demo or excerpt. Because maybe I would buy it.

Have to be mermataur. Minomaid is orange juice ;)

I believe an ai could write soap-opera-style drama and crappy hallmark romance. Probably has been for a while. Anyone can write those things even if they don’t have a good grasp of language.

But comedy is really difficult; you have to actually understand people, and culture, and communication, and language, and timing, and shock, and a bunch of other super nuanced shit.

If he thinks ai is ready for that, he’s ready to lose his own job to ai, cuz what a joker… (see? Comedy is hard!)

This is one of those things I’ve been afraid of my whole life that, crucially, I didn’t know could actually happen.

At least now I feel justified.

Oh, yeah, not at all.

My parents hated them. Long story short they blamed a livestock attack on our dogs getting out, it was the litigious 90s, and while they lost, it led to bad blood forever, stench aside, which they refused to do anything to mitigate.

I lived often-downwind from a pig farm growing up, and yeah, you never go nose blind to that smell. You tolerate it better, maybe, but it always stinks.
