I honestly found it refreshing and approachable compared to “Bethesda” like games. It played a bit more like KOTOR with a spread of worlds/biomes to explore in a more tailored and purposeful manner.

Sometimes the fully open world games end up feeling too barren and shallow. But that’s also what I liked about the first Rage and that was generally panned too :(

Effectively a stacked bar chart/area chart, but with “pizzaz” that makes it less readable.

I think if you sat people down and showed them how much they pay for health insurance, showed what they got out of their medical insurance, and the actual cost of those procedures, that very few people would rate it highly.

For a system like capitalism that prides itself on market forces, no one has a clue about how and why insurance operates the way it does.

I get social security not being taxes (as its literally the federal gov giving money and then taking some back), but why wouldn’t tips be taxed if they’re just additional wages?

Like what is the logical arguement, and if they weren’t why wouldn’t I ask for all wages just be “tipped” to me?

Im surprised to see this pop up multiple times. If my device more or less is still plugged in with wireless chargers (as it can’t really be “off” the pad) it’s really not that impressive to me. Not to mention we’ve been pumping power through the air since the first radio.

If my device could charge anywhere within a certain radius (feet/meters), that would be impressive.

Yeah the issue with predictions around things like autonomous vehicles is it assumes tech advancements will flow in one direction/domain. There are still serious limitations of current AI systems in regards to autonomous vehicles and the next breakthrough may not be one relevant to that domain.

Its certainly possible, but we’ve basically been on the current autonomous vehicle hype for about 10 years already.

That page says 05/2020 launch date, so I think it’s an old tech sheet. Can’t find the tech specs for the mini that’s being announced myself, but didn’t try that hard.

I was wondering why the art direction seemed terrible for the event. Everything feels all over the place and generic - apparently cause it is.

The only caveat would be is if they were going to hoard that money anyways it might not make it into anyones hands.

“Trickle” would definitely be the key word though.

I had no idea it had some basis in mormanism, but I also really wanted a sequel to it. It ended on such an interesting cliff hangar and with Orson Scott Card it seemed like the plot would actually go somewhere.

Haha, I think it’s very likely there are even earlier examples than both of those. I debated counting final fantasy, and did not recall the final boss of Dragon Quest 2.

I think ultimately, Man v God is a story that’s existed for a looong time.

“Doom” is a pretty good one.

“Advent Rising” you find out you are a god.

“Dread Delusion” prisoner to decider of gods fate.

A lot of Kirby games.

Yeah if I had to take a guess shin megami tensei series (1987) is solidly in the “… And then you fight God”, but a lot games even earlier probably did the same.

I think the issue you’ll find is in the “by extension [insert group]” rhetoric.

This kind of logic becomes particularly problematic in this situation as less than 50% of jews live in Israel. So a majority have little to no say in what the state of Israel does.

I mean with most CCTV feeds facial recognition is just a best guess, you can’t just rely on it.

I assume head of the ATF?

Maybe it depends on the app/platform but I only see titles when scrolling, so it sounded like he just got pulled over. Thus, not drawing attention to the bigger issue, which is the hit and run.

Peeing on yourself is bad / somewhat comical, hit and run is fucked up.

Interesting to know it’s more powerful.

Sounds like they might have improved some of the build quality. That first GDP Win though has probably sullied my opinion of them indefinitely.

It actually makes sense if you think about it from the perspective that ML is about generalizing trends/functions. Simulating the world is hard, generalizing the world based on past observations - easy (with some lossyness).

I had the first GDP Win and after that would never buy something from them again.

Maybe the fourth iteration is better, but I can’t imagine it has better build quality or performance to the deck.
