I'm honestly just waiting for the next Sonic game, there's nothing else that really hyped me in the last 1 or 2 years.

i remember being really hyped for Skyrim in 2011
then playing it in 2016 and being like "this is just a frozen desert :T"

then i installed a shit ton of sex mods and it was when i realized that i didn't like having sex in videogames, til i started playing as a woman named, you guessed it; "lilith"
but it wasn't as immersive, so i casually tricked my parents into telling me the name i would've had if i had been born a cis female.

And it was "Sabina", and i loved it so much i just legally changed it to it :)

>requiring all kernel contributions to be run through google's sashiko ai
ooooh so that's where he's coming from when he tells people he's angry about people bitching about AI because "99% of code comes from compilers actually". these people may be smart but they're incredibly shit liars, to the point where you can trace a talking point all the way back to the specific google product it's supposed to defend lol. what an embarrassing position for linus to be in, willingly saying shit he knows for a fact are stupid as fuck just because google's PR department deems it so.

>>33762

copying and pasting random bits of code from stackoverflow also works, but any reasonable person would tell you that this isn't a reasonable method of developing software. this is essentially what this so-called "ai" does, just copies and pastes other people's code scraped from the web and presents it as its own original intelligent output by generating an articulate written summary (also composed of scraped search data) to trick you into thinking it actually understands the code and knows what it is talking about.

it's all just an extremely expensive resource-wasting smoke and mirrors parlor trick and treating it as if it is genuinely intelligent and relying on it is insanity, plain and simple. big tech companies have become quasireligious techno-cults selling insanity to the public as a commercial product, they might as well be the church of scientology selling people e-meters to check their thetan levels. the fact that this nonsense is actually causing people to experience cognitive decline and even clinical psychosis in some cases only further demonstrates how insane it really is.

the "it actually works!" argument is beyond retarded. asbestos actually prevented buildings from burning down, adding lead to gasoline actually prevented engine knocking, thalidomide actually cured morning sickness in pregnant women, that doesn't mean these things were good ideas.

Yes, and the mod did work surprisingly well. I just cannot take the amount of crashing issues I initially had with it. The issue got fixed, but I still don’t want to release the mod regardless because there’s two major mods for NV that are came out

Long 15 and dry wells together effectively tripled the size of the games map. There’s other worldspace mods that affect that games issues with its map size which combined quintuple the maps size. I feel that introducing more worldspace mods is overkill at that point.

I really don't get why certain conspiracy theories like the moon landing being fake and 9/11 being an inside job are so controversial on the left

Is it really implausible that the usa, the worlds biggest imperialist power, would be willing to do these things for the sake of personal gain?

And yet if i bring it up i'm treated like an idiot, "no they would never do that", even though they're perfectly willing to do mkultra and distributing crack in black neighbourhoods

was there even anything to "win" in the space race? like what did the US even get out of landing on the moon.

Americans are just retarded. Even the official story makes no sense as a pretext for doing GWOT. The hijackers were Saudi, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon. Zero Afghans. Zero Iraqis, Zero Syrians. Zero Palestinians. The leader of the hijackers, Osama Bin Laden, was the son of a millionaire real estate developer, and helped the CIA overthrow socialism in Afghanistan.

You’re forgetting that Osama Bin Ladens family were business associates of George Bush’s family.
The whole 9/11 theory about it being a military operation is a common open discussion and there’s been televised specials about it.
I think it’s copium about being assailed by a foreign entity especially since the 1990s was marked by terrorist acts from domestic people.

Good book on Jesus’ historicity, analysing not just every argument on the historical Christ but also giving a holistic assessment on how Christianity likely came to be, with a vigorous reference section. If you don’t want to buy it on Amazon, it’s available at z-library (link not given to avoid piracy charges).

Inb4:
>Muh Adam Green
>Muh Bart Ehrman
>Muh consensus
>Muh Christophobia

Yadda yadda, I know who Adam Green is, about the Ehrman talking point, and how this subject can be touchy to both Christcuck and e-crusader secularised midwits here, so I’ll be blunt here:

  • Adam Green’s background doesn’t invalidate his broader points on Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus Christ’s existence

  • The “consensus” doesn’t mean much since it’s mostly made up of Christians and Christian-sympathisers who engage in confirmation bias and gatekeeping to discourage any critical opinion on the historical Christ theory. Given that Ehrman himself relies on this very unreliable consensus for his book on Jesus’ historicity

  • Not believing in Jesus’ existence as a historical figure isn’t anti-Christian as many non-mainstream Christian sects like the early Church-era marcionites and gnostics assert the notion of a mythical non-physical Christ. On the top of that, much of Judaism (and by extension Zionism) rests on the notion of the Old Testament as being 100% true and historically accurate text, whilst Islamic doctrine holds the existence of a historical Christ. So by negating the existence of a historical Christ, and by extension undermining the value of the Old Testament as a historical text, Christianity and Islam and Judaism are effectively undermined

>Cites books that pushes the myth that Jesus was a real figure
Ok boomer

This sort of thing always makes me think of an old Soviet joke that goes like this:

Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was given a car in Moscow during the celebrations?"

The Armenian Radio answers: "In principle yes, but it was not in Moscow, rather in Kiev, and it was not a car, but a bike, and it was not comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, but comrade highschool teacher Gagarin and his first name was not Yuri, but Leonid…and it was not given to him, but stolen from him…but in principle, yes."

This is what I think about when people talk about "Was Jesus a historical figure?" Well, in principle, yes. But he wasn't born when he was supposed to be born, and he didn't do most of the things that are attributed to him, and his name was not Jesus, but apart from being different in every particular…in principle, yes he existed."

And of course you can do this with way more people than just Jesus. Was King Arthur a historical figure? In principle, yes. Now his name wasn't Arthur and he wasn't english and he lived in a different castle and he wasn't king of the britons and he was actually a conglomeration of different warlords from different eras and areas…but apart from that, yes, Arthur was real.

Transexualism is the capitalist expression of people who want to change their sex. It has only been able to exist in capitalism since it is only now we can change our sex. Before now there have only been "3rd sexes" or genders such as the Hijra. But these are patriarchal constructs and represent pre-modern economic forms. We should defend them when they are under threat from reactionary, patriarchal, or imperialist forces, but they are not what we should aspire towards. Transexualism is bourgeois in the positive way, but like capitalism itself it has become necessary almost since the day it started existing, and now we must move forward.

Transexualism cannot be resolved in capitalism (or at least it can't be in the modern day) because there will always be people who cannot access sex change resources such as bottom / top surgery, hormones and for trans women FFS, which are all necessary. Even in the hypothetical most 'accepting' world ever where everyone has their gender respected these necessary things cannot be given to everyone because there will always be colonized people since capitalism requires imperialism. Trans welfare will never be able to be shared to everyone, and today things like FFS remain achievable only to the bourgeois and the highest section of the working class, leaving most trans women to suffer.

Transgenderism is a pysop in order to prevent the movement to resolve the contradiction of sex. It takes away the truly revolutionary demand for sex change / abolition with a phony acceptance, which is really just harmful. Gender is a patriarchal idea. Toxic woke stabs me in the back worse than others do because to them the end goal is me being unable to complete my transition. It is pure bourgeois idealism that must be combatted in order to achieve true revolutionary transexualism. It is even more harmful to non-binary people because only through surgery will others actually perceive them as non-binary. They are trapped by CIA idealists in their biologically sexed bodies.

Revolutionary transexualism understands that now we have the technology to resolve the contradiction of sex, and the only issue is that it is not distributed fairly. We must dismember the bourgeois imperialists and expropriate and extract their body modifications to share with the people. Sacrifice the oppressors on the altar to progress and let us be free as we are splashed by the blood from their still-beating heart. Gender idealism must also be Post too long.

The majority of trans women don't freeze sperm (~90%) despite the fact that HRT will cause at least some infertility; You can objectively change sex and some do it accidentally.

Moreover, the very definition of sex implies that whatever sum of physiological characteristics used to define "male" and "female" will be arbitrary and most likely able to change except by intentionally excluding trans people, in which case chromosomes aren't "functional" or "structural" and sex assigned at birth means almost nothing regarding current sexual characteristics.

That was pretty long but people keep on insisting that sex is binary not realizing that these are platonic abstractions rather than medical or natural fact.

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

Honestamente, es una puta broma cómo tenemos que entretener los delirios de Argentina sobre la pureza europea.

If you want more fighting, more war mechanics, and then a story,
EAW - Changelingia
(Or Posada's Hippogriffia / Siren's Hippogriffia )
If you want to larp & have a challenging game
Kaiserredux - German Empire w kaiserredux expert ai mod, its actually difficult fighting the two front war with Communards and Russian Sphere.

Those r what comes to my mind rn.

Thoughts on map-game-in-development, Espiocracies iteration on event chains? Kind of interested, as event chains have become very stale:
>Technically, it's a kind of advanced event chain, so it has all the usual features of event popups known from other strategy games – trigger conditions, flavor text, clickable decisions, and effects on the game world. The caveat is that they are never triggered automatically; they are launched through a conscious governmental decision (so the Soviets may decide to never launch the blockade).
<Inside, what makes it "advanced" is that the event has a decision tree (a'la dialogue tree) which is traversed in turns by two opposing parties.
>Every decision has defined availability and costs (in terms of state budget, strategic intelligence, military deployment, etc). Once chosen, a decision:
<-directly influences the game world; for instance, "nuclear escalation" means actual progress up the escalation ladder, which may lead all the way to WW3;
<-modifies the event's -100 to +100 score (similar to a "war score");
<-grants a new set of decisions to the other side.

>The point of divergence is won by either side once the score reaches -100/+100, or when the end of the decision tree is reached (in which case the side with no responses left loses the confrontation), or when external circumstances derail the event (eg. the aforementioned WW3). The final outcome implements a wide range of bespoke history-rewriting consequences. For instance, a Soviet victory in West Berlin will cause further Western retreats, delay the establishment of NATO (or significantly weaken NATO if it is already established), damage the image of the current American administration, turn the German population against the West, and so on.

What is it with remakes/remasters absolutely ruining the old artstyle?

Because nobody making them gives a fuck

>2010
This was the peak "gritty" hype era where every game tried to be hardcore and realistic aka throw a brown filter on everything. Billions of shooter games were made during this time so the Xenoblade devs tried to go for a more grounded art style.
>2020
Anime has become so mainstream and popular that the Xenoblade devs can happily go back to making anime slop art like every jap game dev aspires to.

remakes/remasters are generally made by different people who don't have access to original project files like concept art, series bible, etc

My take is that remasters revolve around the assumption that people will re-buy games they’ve already played for full price because they’re dumb slop consumers who are easily pleased with the phrase “updated graphics” as tru gam3rz are.

Therefore the art style must be discarded in favour of some generic bloom shader (probably out of the box with Unreal engine) that is *technically* superior and can provide a description listing off all the graphics tech acronyms it provides.

If you used modern rendering technology to provide the same art style, the game would just look the same, you’d genuinely have to care what the graphics tech acronyms actually mean and try to have an appreciation for the resulting minor differences. Whereas “woah holy shit I can see Las Venturas from Los Santos! We’ve come so far lil bro” genuinely does shift units.

https://thecartdriver.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/psycho-pass-carole-and-tuesday-and-more-why-anime-features-anti-immigration-elections/

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.

Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.

Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.

As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.

I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected iPost too long.

>actually the protests are astroturfed by wealthy interests and homeless people normies dont care about the bases
Imagine being this cucked. What do they say when some marines rape someone or run them over, "meh it was probably a lib anyway"?

>>30252
It's only cucked if you consider every other japanese citizen part of your identity. (I thought nations were spook and shit ? :V)
They probably are outraged over that one individual that raped someone , but in the end if it's not a friend or a member of your family it's not your problem.


I think most mangakas tend to be right-leaning nowadays because, as others stated, due to dependence on funds from the Cool Japan state initiative, Japanese society’s obsession with harmony at the expense of individual freedom of expression, the NPC-coded hierarchical etiquette ingrained in the language itself, and most of all: Most mangakas then and now are basically either boomercons or petit bourgeois of the least educated nature, as opposed to educated petit bourgeois like Osamu Tezuka. Like, creators such as Hayao Miyazaki tend to engage with the real world, whereas the average mangaka get their inspiration from fanfic and other fiction which makes them more detached from actual people, and the results are there to see.

It’s not entirely “either/or” thing and many exceptions exist, but overall the petit bourgeois will always lean towards reactionary politics, and let’s face it: Most people involved in entertainment are either of the bourgeois or petit bourgeois sorts, so not surprising. Although this you already know.

The only interesting aspect is how much they filter even their domestic politics under the lenses of American culture war slopaganda. Culture brainrot, or a sign that the average Japanese chud wants to be American like all non-Islamic chuds? You decide.

Anime is pretty much the only place today where you can make high-budget, high-production art where sex is a major focus, without becoming outright pornography. There's a lot you could do with that. There should be more erotic thrillers, or gritty dramas about the psychology of sex, or trippy surreal erotica, and really just anything more interesting than mid action with jiggly boobs or comedies that mostly come down to "oh noes I accidentally groped her boob!" I'm not saying there isn't anything that stands out, every few years something does, the Fujiko Mine anime is a recent example of something that felt pretty fresh, but for all the money and attention that gets poured into this genre, it feels like the ambition is almost null.

No it doesn't. Provide strong proof that the exact same groups calling for edgy media are the ones who invariably complain about it later. If your reply is just something like "people disliked <X>" without specifying who and how you know it's the same group of people that was calling for it, I will rape you and kill you.

>>30165
"Media" and "Works" were general terms for this phenomenon long before "Content" or "Drops" or whatever it is you're thinking is the correct term.

>>30408
>What did anon say that was wrong? Most media isnt as mindblowing
Are you actually incapable of understanding the difference between "all" (the claim of the original post) and "most" (your much weaker motte-and-bailey claim)? Do you suffer from some sort of mental defect? How is this difficult to understand?
>What else do you want me to say?
I want you to say things which you can substantiate instead of wasting my time by replying to my posts with half-baked vibes-based thoughts that you can't even defend.
>>30415
>before "Content" or "Drops" or whatever it is you're thinking is the correct term.
What I (rightly) think is the correct term is "art", as I explicitly said in the original post. Is everyone on this board retarded?

>>30416
Art is a work that conveys information, that work is media when conveyed to others. That isn't le heckin' zoomer-speak, that's just semantics. If zoomers are uniquely often getting this correct then good for them, but they aren't the first.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Going through A Man for All Markets, the autobiography of Edward O. Thorp (2017).

First third of the book: Born in the USA in the 1930s, he is an otherworldly child prodigy with unreal memory capabilities, which fade a bit as he grows into a less strange young adult with excellent grades. Having experienced poverty first-hand as a child and realizing the need to stand up to your boss, he decides how to you use his skills for great justice: TO OWN PEOPLE AT BLACKJACK. This is a wild ride and more than enough for a movie. He also does this for other games and develops (together with Claude Shannon) a hidden portable device to estimate where the ball will land in Roulette.

Second third: He enters the world of finance orders and becomes one of the first "Quants", as well as one of the most successful. This is still very interesting, it just doesn't quite hold up to the thrills of the first part. You might ask: Why is that, the stakes are now higher by orders of magnitude. Well, that's just the money side. But now you never worry whether some of his partners will have an "accident".

Last third: Hmm, now it feels the spark of life has left the book. Here comes the part with the old man yelling at clouds and the self-help advice. He says what he did at Roulette back in the day was perfectly fine and NOT CHEATING, SO DON'T REMEMBER HIM AS A CHEATER, because it wasn't illegal yet. But those kids today with their high-frequency trading, ugh, where is the value in what they are doing, where are the morals… He says: Don't drink a six-pack a day (do Americans really?) and then why not invest that left-over money. This advice comes right after him talking about some other Quant who moved slightly later into the game and who was slightly less smart than him and who got the (Pseudo-)"Nobel" Prize in Economics and who completely fucked up. OK that's about it, I'm seeing the rest is mostly mathy appendices, sources, notes, photos. Barely any proper text left. So this is how you end your would-be masterpiece? Shouldn't you hammer into the reader that an INDEX FUND is probably the way to go and not active investing? (An index fund performs no worse than average and you save on management fees, so with that considered it's above average.) Oh wait, he does.

Pretty good!

>Yes, drinking seawater can absolutely cause hallucinations. Guzzling saltwater induces a life-threatening form of dehydration and severe electrolyte imbalance known as hypernatremia. As excess sodium enters your bloodstream, it pulls water out of your cells—including your brain cells—causing them to shrink, which leads to confusion, delirium, and terrifying hallucinations.

Western, particularly burger Internet has almost absolute monopoly outside of a few isolated countries like China and Russia.

Same goes for any other banal and hobby stuff, there's a lot of useful information out there hosted on burger servers. Cloudflare and Google captcha faggotry is already hellish enough.
