I’m pretty sure a little over half of the conservatives hate Musk just as much as the left does. He painted himself as a victory factor when in reality he’s just a liability. Conservatives don’t like the reminder that Trump got less votes this time that in 2020, and I like to say Elon is why.
That’s some hateful shit there. It’d be just such a shame if a group of pissed off Dad’s jumped these motherfuckers and smashed their faces in with baseball bats. Those cunts deserve far worse too.
What’s even worse is that nobody cleared this group of douchebags out of there. I see that shit in my town, fuck the law, those assholes are cruisin for a bruisin. If I can’t take them on by hand, my truck will plow through them pretty good.
None of that’s going to get implemented, and the big money’s still going to be in charge, just like it always was. Conspiracy theories on the left, and the right, lol.
1.2 million estimated in the US, especially if you track the “fell off a ladder, definitely Covid” stuff.
Now I can watch terminally online lefties lose their shit and seethe while knowing it’s not going to be nearly as bad as everyone says. It’s going to be entertaining to watch everyone freak out over nothing.

That’s funny because he said it like it’s a bad thing.
What the fuck??? Insert Jumanji meme “What year is it?”
Numbers check out too. Wintel, slayed, and we didn’t even notice.
The Netflix exec talking about how generative AI is going to create “mindblowing experiences” reminds me of a Mondelez Executive for the Oreos brand talking about a slight tweak to the Oreos product line with a new line of Oreos, how it was going to “take snacking to a new unbelievable level”. The reality was a slightly different Oreo cookie that helped increase obesity rates, with the same shit.
This is even worse, because most people see through all the AI slop, what we’ll get are cheap ass AI produced mobile game clones, and this guy’s talking about them being “mindblowing experiences”. In reality, if you go out and get some sunlight and touch grass, you’re getting a far more rich experience.
I love this, best comment I’ve seen in a long time and couldn’t agree more.
“mindblowing new experiences”. Fuck me, imagine if that guy got outside and touched grass.
I wish critics wouldn’t even bring up the preachy-ness of it. I’m finding other tangibles really fucking annoying like the cringe dialogue itself “Who doesn’t like talking about dragons?” or how fucked the companion and enemy AI is. We haven’t seen AI this bad since Colonial Marines, but nobody’s really talking about it because of the flashy combat animations for the main character acting as a curtain covering how dogshit the rest of the gameplay is.
My character can slam the ground and make a shit ton of visual effects, which is acting as a red herring to my companions that don’t do shit the vast majority of the time at enemies barely smart enough to navigate the terrain to run at me. This is like Doom 1993 AI.
Irritating jokes less amusing than the most formulaic of trashy sitcoms, and they don’t address that either. I think people irked by this article are really put off by the way it adds fuel to the fire of criticisms toward progressivism. It’s well written and does bring out the irony of it, but it seems more of an attempt to undermine the progressive messaging and justify the audience polarity. In reality, there’s no need for the division, people who positively react to the game are wearing rose colored glasses to a game with serious issues that don’t get fixed on the technical backend.
On the technical front, if you ignore the absolute garbage AI and look at the rendering engine’s performance, this is the best release of the year by far.
I have so many mixed feelings on the game. This shit going back and forth over the wokeness just gives everyone a red herring to defend or attack.
Interesting in their choice of TFLOPS announcement. They could’ve simply claimed 33 and put an asterisk for FP16 performance on the precision and called it a day. They’re listing AMD’s FP32 spec, which is divergent from Ampere/Ada which has the same output regardless of precision.
Do housing next. That’s an area where everyone is equally fucked on the political spectrum aside from the rich.
Or, you know, we could just…you know…do the thing that really takes care of the problem.
While I’m happy that AMD remains a viable competitor, their absolutely anemic competition with nVidia in the PC gaming segment is very disturbing. This means that nVidia’s still showing a 9% revenue increase YoY, and still getting an impressive rate of return for their gaming investments despite their horrendous price gouging and large number of customers exiting the PC gaming segment.
The fact that the console revenue isn’t making up for the loss of PC customers means Radeon just abandoned post in the PC gaming segment overall, with the public news that AMD isn’t even going to target performance oriented price-insensitive customers anymore at all, and not even trying to increase the TAM.
What I just heard was “We kept ourselves just slightly cheaper than nVidia, and don’t really care about bringing value back into the TAM for PC hardware, so we’re just going to focus our efforts on console-only going forward in the pipeline, and customers can join us there”.
That means as a customer in the PC hardware space, we all just ultimately lost, and it’s a single-vendor market now going forward.
Fuck.
Granted the semi I saw had a guard on the front of it, but I witnessed one smoke a fully grown cow at 70mph. Sent the cow and pieces of it flying about 100 feet, with no visible damage to the truck at all. There was a tremendous amount of blood and spatter everywhere and my own car got a ton of blood on it from the cloud of guts and blood made by the truck. Mostly there was just shit everywhere leading up to the remnants of the carcass, but the truck gave no fucks whatsoever. I asked the driver if he was ok and he didn’t even seem to have any agitation whatsoever, more like “oh, another one”.
A truck will not disintegrate, there might be damage if it didn’t have a guard, but against a deer, that must’ve been a paper mache piece of shit truck if it disintegrated on a deer.
Lol, how is that political? It’s a “water makes wet” kind of thing. I’m sorry you have such fragile feelings about Bioware and don’t like the narrative. If it’s any consolation, it’s not even the same people who made the prior games. Whether the game’s a massive success or financial failure, EA’s just going to fire them all anyway. That’s cool though, we’ll see how it looks on the Steam reviews this weekend. If past experience is any indicator, whenever a publisher resorts to funny business, it’s because they have to. Nobody was needed in the defense of BG, MDK2, BG2, NWN, Kotor, Jade Empire, ME, ME2, DA:O, DA2, SW:TOR, DA:I, etc.
I don’t even really care about the studio anymore to be honest, after the layoffs and turnover, we have no idea whether this crew delivered or not, and judging from the review oddities, it paints a bleak picture. Let them sink or swim based on what EA allowed them to do, then through no true fault of their own, face a studio closure because of the obtuse fuckwads in EA corporate. Either way, the future sucks for the gaming studio called Bioware, in name only.
This sure seems to indicate coaching on catchphrases. As for conspiracy theories, this isn’t a conspiracy, it’s pretty obvious. IGN, Gamespot, Kotaku, and Polygon have a long history of rating games higher based on their budget and publisher influence. Standard review outlets are inconsistent, and since 2010 have been the butt of many jokes. This seven year old video from Dunkey albeit, satire, rather well breaks down the inconsistency between review outlet staff even highlighting their own subjective contradictions from individual reviewers (look at the bit about the Sonic game in this one).
When you look at the first wave of reviews given by those issued pre-release review copies, the trend speaks for itself.

I begrudgingly have to concede and acknowledge that you are correct. That being said, he still did so indirectly as his name and ugly fucking face weren’t attached to those.
