Mortal Kombat is so bad it's good, and I don't see how anything can beat it. Prince of Persia is probably the best from the perspective of an honest effort, at least from what I can recall of it.

I was thinking they could do a little debrief with their forum once the game has been launched and they are breathing again. Course right after launch plenty of people will be chiming in with balance issues, so I guess the work is never really done.

I'm hoping that gorgeous sun is blotted out by violent hurricanes, typhoons, and eruptions. If I wanted a vacation I'd have gone to the mountains.

Haven't seen those, but I find it hard to believe something would be better than Mortal Kombat.

This is my favorite post of yours yet. After the game launches it would be fun to get a Q&A/AMA with the team.

All last year me and my room mate would sit on the couch with our laptops. He often would watch Critical Role, I would often play Pillars. We'd recommend them to each other, then cordially return to what we were already interested in. Now I see how this gap can be divided.

Only just starting?

In GTAV even if you have the physical copy, to get more recent radio stations means updating. So in theory you could update and get some new music, but lose others. Even while you physically still have them on disc. Which is whack.

Also trespassers

Didn't say the public can manage, simply that's who in theory watches the watchmen.

The courts are going to interpret the law regardless. Then overtime they will formulate restatements of the common law. I don't really see this getting out of hand at the judiciary level, and at the level of social media, they can already strong arm if they want to. They didn't need permission. So really the only issue is how the law may interfere as a business regulation that you can't opt out of. But look either you succeed to stamping out the evidentially-bankrupt disinformation going around, your encroach on actual truth. If you encroach on obvious truth there will be resistance and communities will keep their own records as they already do in this factually-balkanized world. The likely outcome will be more content will fly under the radar as opinion pieces, which have been rising consistently for awhile now. Instead of suppressing truth, it will be about spin and interpretations of facts, which is the actually affective way of managing the information of the masses and has been the status quo for ages. Backing up to the law-makers, who watches them indeed? Could it be the public? As it's always been, people need to exercise themselves as citizens. Good thing plenty of people are righteously indignant to raise issues, and thankfully bureaucratic partisan comities are forced to step through fact patterns to see where everything comes out in the wash. So is this amendment one of those times to raise an issue? Can be, that's fine. I just don't see the concerns posited playing out when put in context.

I entirely agree with you. I just don't see how social media flagging content is any different from the manner in which old media works by there own selective filtering. The difference before and after those amendments has nothing to do with now permitting social media to interfere with information flow, the already did so, it is simply compels them to have some measure in place for the problem. Maybe that's a regulation against the market that is unwanted and will hurt budding social media platforms, but that is the only aspect I really take issue with. What it does to free speech or the miasma of social information seems like a negligible change from the status quo, with a glimmer of hope that a satisfiable standard could be built into some platforms. Guess we'll have to wait and see where the litigation around these changes ends up. Which is why I think further refinement and relying on established common law is going to be more important here than simply the vaguenesses of those clauses.

Always have to look at the way something can be abused It's true. Just there are ways of exploring that question which find themselves highly off-track. When JBP was tackling issues wrt bill C-16, some legal experts dismissed the issue. Which may be entirely the case, but at the same time it was clear a particular section of the law was becoming highly subjectivised and beholden to the interpretation of specially staffed tribunal. Here I don't see the law as giving any body that is part of the law any subjective power. Instead it's increasing the standard by which social media business must operate, and makes no dictates as to how exactly those business must fact-check. Meaning different social media platforms can compete. Off course with social media, each "format" tends to operate as a monopoly it's not like these entities are being given the freedom to stifle truth in any way that they weren't already doing. In fact a good interpretation of these laws may actually be beneficial over time.

My god... all it's saying is if you choose to operate a social media platform, you have a fiduciary duty to mitigate (not prevent) false news. That is going to tend towards blatantly false news. It recommends some sort of fact-checker, which is just a way of saying some sort program that acts as a classifier. It doesn't have to be a strong-arm approach, it's just saying you can't run a social media platform and allow it to be a vector by which disinformation can spread. Further any vague aspect of it is going to be clarified by the surrounding literature.

So, who are these "fact checkers" going to be? It will be up to them whether or not a news story gets shared. If "they" say it isn't true then it isn't. Even if it is. Now, Obsidian is a California based company. Will this be the end of sharing news stories on WoT? Especially if the political powers that be decide they don't like what the news story says, um, I mean the news story isn't verified? Yeah, that's it. Verified? I keep coming back to a quote from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri game "Beware he who would deny you access to information. For in his heart he dreams himself your master". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UY2uw3yoIA It's not really taking away free speech though. That is still constitutionally protected. We just need to prepare that common law will be having to handle some ugly implications of these laws as it concerns reporting the news. On one hand we need to get a handle on organizations of Sinclair. On the other hand issues with media bias is entirely orthogonal to truth. Just talk about what builds your narrative and you're golden. The bit about fact-checkers is a bit nebulous and thus a bit nefarious. Fact-checkers can't be treated as Tzar's of truth. Instead there needs to be more empirical systems at play. Where empiricism fails to shed light is where the jurisdiction of fact-checkers should end, and where cases should be thrown out.

1. Why should we convince your matter of taste? 2. Garb doesn't reflect your character's progression either. I thought we established expression was a matter of taste? Why do people still get portraits painted when they could just have a daily instagram photo? Once again portraits aren't a status report, they embody the ineffable qualities of a person. 3. Because 3D renders were too ****ty or something in the days where 3D renders was the norm? Because any styled an be captured off of a 3D model today, or any 3D animated portrait is objectively better? If photoshop hasn't made oil paints obsolete, why have 3D renders made 2D portraiture obsolete? Unless... It's not obsolete and it's an art choice. What's with the objective argumentation after admitting these things are subjective? Trying to have it both ways?

Exactly, the best cgi portraits usage I've seen was in SC2. It just perfectly fits the overall theme they have going, plus all the portraits are bespoke and higher quality than the actual unit models. With character creators, I just don't see it looking as good.

Hopefully in PoE3 we can 3D print busts that we line up below our monitors.

The sanitizer needs a white list.

Alright, I can see why they casted this guy. It's a pretty good take on a C O C K Y young Solo. The trailer has some tone issues though. Will still see in theaters. edit: stupid profanity sanitization.

"Let me just throw every dub, ragga, dancehall sample into a bin and see what comes out in the wash." It's not a bad song, just a bit derivative even by reggae's standards.

I need more pale elf portraits where those pale bastards look happy, too many viable options are angst ridden.

Other than game breaking bugs and things the affect save files, I'm not to bothered by mechanical errata and bugs. Especially if they resolve from reloading. That said PoE benefited a lot of post launch patches, but some of that was even just quality of life features to the UI. Deadfire being a sequel I don't think it will be lacking too much on polish.

I personally always saw the god's as non-exhaustive, meaning no matter who you worship the kith spirit will always find itself longer.
