so, still focusing on the sophistry you complained 'bout? color us not surprised. hypocritical and deceptive. telling us you used a search engine is not linking and is not meaningful attribution. you quoted grammerly as a source and grammerly made extreme clear why you should include attribution and links. "Remember to attribute your quotes properly to maintain transparency and build trust with your audience. Make sure the source is clear, and use their exact words to avoid misrepresentation." you are the joker who observed earlier that people rare read beyond the first paragraph or two as some kinda lazy-arsed defense o' your own lazy-arsed search engine efforts. ("Every single quote I picked was in the first few lines of the articles. Most (all but one?) of them were in the lead or second paragraph. ie the part people actually read, and which gets summarised by search engines.") but failure to link and attribute makes it far less likely people will catch your deceit, yes? and we both know it is misrepresentation; "you're wrong about that." is why we did link the stories you failed to attribute and shared the conclusions and analysis from the stories which made clear the equivocation and ambivalence o' the authors regarding the significance o' pahlavi. we also revealed qualitative same quotes from al jazeera, which kinda undercuts your complaint o' some kinda western skew. oh, and if we put words into a search engine and it provides a long list o' results, it don't mean that western media is making efforts to "embiggen" whatever it is we were searching. duh on same day you did your mindless search engine population, you coulda' gone instead with madonna + iran and seen dozens o' results. seems you don't know how to use a search engine after all. again, do a search for iran + protests and see how frequent you get results for pahlavi in headline and ledes. if the west were so hot to embiggen, would we not see pahlavi showing up in ledes and headlines o' the foremost returns? using an anonymous search, so as to avoid algorithm issues, we again did a search today for iran + protests and get zero results for pahlavi in the ledes and headlines produced in the first sixty western stories. of course if you do a targeted search for pahlavi, you will generate numerous results, but the mere existence o' results will often be misleading. unless you are specific searching for pahlavi, there is a good chance you would see him as irrelevant, 'cause he is getting only the most infrequent mentions in the headlines and ledes o' western news stories regarding the iranian protests. again, you were the guy stressing how little o' articles people read as some kinda defense o' your sloth and decption. oh and again, the first paragraph o' a story is not "always a summary" as you claimed. heck, the first paragraph don't always include a summary lede, which is not but a hook + essential facts. your grammerly link didn't say what you claim it did any more than your mindless quote list, but since you put so much in search engine results... ai result from google for "summary of a news article: A summary of a news article is a concise, objective overview that captures the central message and key facts of the original story without including personal opinions. Core Elements of a News Summary An effective summary typically addresses the "5 Ws and H" to provide a complete picture of the event: Who: The primary people, groups, or organizations involved. What: The central event, topic, or main conflict. Where: The specific location where the event occurred. When: The timing or date of the events. Why: The reason, cause, or purpose behind the event. How: The process or methods described in the story. Essential Steps for Writing Survey the Article: Read the headline and the first paragraph (the "lede") first, as these often contain the most critical information. Identify Main Points: Note the author's thesis or main claim and the major arguments or evidence supporting it. Draft in Your Own Words: Write the summary using your own phrasing to avoid plagiarism, typically keeping it to about one-third the length of the original article. Acknowledge the Source: Begin by identifying the article's title, author, and publication in the first sentence. Maintain Objectivity: Stick to the facts presented in the text and avoid adding your own analysis or critique. Structure of a Summary Introduction: A single sentence introducing the article and its main argument. Body: A series of sentences explaining each supporting point in the same order as the original article. Conclusion: A final statement that summarizes the thesis and explains the overall significance or implications of the story. your search engine generated quotes, which you failed to link and attribute, (naughty) typical weren't even fulfilling the requirements o' summary ledes as described by grammerly, but nowhere near reaching the level o' meaningful summaries. your primary school edumactaion were lacking if you believe your mindless search population results were meaningful summaries, but we do not believe you are so ignorant... 'bout summaries. clown show shenanigans, but please, don't stop. HA! Good Fun!

Trying to repair the water hose leak to clear the greenhouse but doing the repair action doesn't work. It does the animation but the progress meter never changes and is slightly grayed out. We have the right level omni-tool. Tried from different angles. Nothing is working.

There's a location where you must crawl through a vent to flip a power switch and then crawl back through the same vent because there's no other exit from the room with the power switch. To get into the vent, you climb onto a table and ope n the vent door. Then if you just move forward, you'll crouch and climb into the vent. Once you're through, you drop onto a ledge and flip the power switch. However, when you turn around, I can't get back through the vent. Simply moving towards it doesn't work. Neither does jumping or crouching or crouching and jumping. I've also tried moving to the back wall and running and jumping. I am stuck. I've tried a mod called Freecam and Teleport but it doesn't work for me. Any suggestions?

^ If they at least made it so it wasn't percentage based and easy settings let us old/slow farts react before being dead, that might help. Or the meteor attack didn't cover half the donut, or its laser beam wasn't six miles wide and follows you around. The design of the fight arena tho is always going to problematic. You can easily "slide/teleport/glide" avoidance yourself off the edge. Seriously, it's a super skinny donut with a mile wide center hole as well as the outer edge drop off. Did I mention the boss can fly? And has adds? And yeah, I think nov. 2026 is their current projection (delayed a couple months), although per usual re: EA, I always have my doubts. Although I don't get the feeling it'll be 10+ years, haha. There are a couple other "indie" games I've had my eye on but I like (mostly) completing games before I move on, first, otherwise I never finish anything. I was also looking at StarRupture but it seems a bit too Satisfactory/factory type building for my tastes.

You were told how they were found, it's easily replicable by anyone with the most basic internet skills. It literally literally takes five seconds. Fact. We both know it isn't misrepresentation, and the quotes are real. Again, that's not opinion, it's fact. From the later parts it appears you don't actually know how to use a search engine properly though (<--this is opinion). There are a shedload of Pahlavi stories about the TV hacking. Took me 5s to find them. Fact; fact. Just repeating stuff ad nauseum when you've lost is most definitely yours, as is posting multiple theses length replies in the hope of boring people to death. Quoting what the purpose of a lede is, then insisting that actually the quotes I took weren't the author's main points or part of a summary is certainly one of your more... interesting takes. As a matter of fact, you're wrong about that; and it's a bit sad that that is just one of your more... unique takes rather than the most.

Enshrouded is apparently going to release version 1 this year, so I'd guess they will balance that boss first. I've moved onto Stoneshard and Jagged Alliance 3. I'm also trying to play Star Wars Outlaws, but the control scheme is a big turn off. I don't like that I need to look up all the controls if I don't play for a week. It is not intuitive at all.

I would have liked that movie more if the entire film had had that ludicrous over the top feel. But to me it felt out of place vs. the rest of the movie. If you want to be a horrific satire/comedy, pick that and stick with it. Is Evil Dead 2 a great cinematic film. No, not even close. But (back when) I laughed my butt off from beginning to end. Long live Bruce Campbell.

It would have partly redeemed the Board of Peace if they'd livestreamed Netanyahu's reaction to Turkey/ UAE/ Pakistan and Qatar being members. One suspects they're happy to have an excuse to decline more than anything. I suspect the Prime Minister here for one wishes he had such an excuse, or that the White House map had left us off it so no decision would have to be made.

I'm watching Pluribus. It stands out so much over anything I've watched in years, acting, cinematography, attention to details...it is also totally about ChatGPT AI in general, isn't it.

@Hurlshort -- have fun with the Enshrouded Altar upgrade 8 boss. After taking a mental break from that game for a bit I went back and filled out some more areas, got more stuff/npc's - I have 17 NPC's, and even if some aren't crafting stations, holy that feels excessive. Anyway, there's a long long task (as usual, I get lost a lot) before Altar8-boss. You need lvl8 to be able to have frost-death protection (no death-timer) even while in your base in the actual snow. Could you live without that, sure, but hey, it's progression. So that boss. Yeah, nope. Even on easiest everything, I died in like 15 seconds during 6 tries. I might've done a sliver of damage to its health bar. The spike is unreal vs. everything else in the game. Its main two attacks seem to do percentage damage so doesn't matter your health, clvl or settings, your health dies in seconds. The area you have to fight = must be master with glider, double-jump/glide, slide/constant avoidance timing, speed/reaction etc or die in meteor puddles or slip/misstep/fall and/or be lasered or pushed to fall death. Sure, it's a skill issue and I suppose a few will like the challenge, but imo very unfair - again, vs. all the rest of the game. Out of place, all of a sudden. I could've maybe dealt with the dodging of near-insta-death attacks themselves (been there done that in other games) but the fight area for me was impossible with no room for "hey I suck, ok", navigation (imagine a very very skinny donut shaped piece of land). After reading online comments about this perhaps over-tuned boss, I gave up (I'll never have that type of "skill" and don't care to bother), and used a (kinda buggy) cheat-engine table to insta-kill it 5 times (so I can have spare heads for other chrs), removed cheat-engine-table, then continued on my sandbox-y way. Altar upgrade 9 is easy peasy in comparison, have head already, almost there. Just to say, you can easily not bother with this boss/last few upgrades, and still build tons of sim-y castles and towns/do most everything else. I have a feeling a lot of people haven't even reached this point in the game, because they're too busy building obsessive deco-towns. Or this is where they quit. Or they went to a "resource" server and just grabbed a head from a chest that someone else farmed (that's a thing in this game, if you don't mind Online).

This seems pretty likely from circumstantial evidence; Gigabyte has already released new AM4 motherboards, which suggests they don't see the socket as dead. You'd expect them to just do a new manufacturing run of the old designs under normal circumstances to save on costs.

I find it quite funny that both Germany and Italy said that they would like to join but their constitutions forbid them to join because of the rules of the board, taking account how current constitutions of those countries were written.

It includes DJT-flatterers Argentina, Hungary, and Qatar, but excludes Canada? Definitely a laughable "institution". Most European nations declined to join, which tells you something. Bored of Peace indeed.

His new golf course with its exclusive members?

Near the last act of Virtuaverse. Fun game, puzzles are a bit strange sometimes - asking me the number of stars in Ursa Major is strange. But the game's written by a veteran of the scene, why else would this be a key cutscene

I play pretty regularly, but I'm a very slow and deliberate player who loves to take my time and goof off within my games. I'm almost 300 hours of playtime in my current first playthrough of BG3 and yet only about 2/3 of the way through Act 2. I'm the kind of roleplayer who can easily spend half an hour trying to figure out which of my party members should get that new ring I just found.

They already have a rebuilding plan for Gaza, which is kinda disgusting, imo. They genocided the crap out of the place, bombed everything to rubble and now they are finally able to build their own paradise on top of it.

" The board of peace " ..what a joke Have you seen the countries that are on the board I am prepared to make prediction, they will come up with ideas for Gaza peace that have already been discussed but not implemented and they will achieve nothing substantive in other conflicts And once Trump is no longer president it will collapse into obscurity, like it never existed

Oh Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Season 2 released yesterday, with QoL and balance changes implemented as well. From first impressions it seems, that from top4 cast (Hokutomaru, Hotaru, Kain, Marco) was Kain nerfsmacked the most, but it still seems that Hokutomaru will still be in Top Tier. Some people are saying, the he will be the strongest character in S2, but most of the S1 lower tier character did not get fully tested yet. My main Terry was slightly buffed, but I am mostly curious, how SNK treated Tizoc, who was the undisputed worst S1 character.

I think my older brother had this thing, it instantly flashed ancient vague memories in my brain.

1. after getting off my weaver buggy I got stuck in third person POV, only fixed by exiting to main menu and loading my save. not sure if this was because of the buggy or just an uncommon bug. 2. i've noticed that either its gotten more common or it was directly caused by the newest patch, but when you whistle for your buggy, they will usually go out of their way to: A. take the longest possible route to get to where you whistled, or: B. literally ditch you, like they actually just run off somewhere. 3. I also noticed that (not sure if this is an intended feature or not) Ladybuggy's will not engage in fights sometimes, even when you are attacking a hostile creature. Typically I noticed after hitting a hostile bug, they will not participate unless I hop on the saddle and force it to attack, or the hostile creature attacks it.

Hello. Probably people have already noticed it, but still. Was playing Outer Worlds 2, doing faction missions for both factions to unlock An Equitable Arrangement, finishing the needed missions with Mysteries of the Mental Modulators. I talked with the NPC's for Auntie Cleo, finishing their quests, and did not agreed to work with them. Then I talked with the NPC's for the Order, which gave me the An Equitable Arrangement mission. Now I'm supposed to talk with Auntie Cleo, to bring her to the negotiation table... the mission marker points me towards the same room where the two NPC's are, yet no signs of Auntie Cleo whatsoever. The only option I have with them is to Side with them, or Leave the conversation. Thanks everyone.

Just reaching out but cant turn off god rays in Grounded 2 nor turn them down with a slider option. Please send a fix for this!
