Oh no! How foolish of them to only cater to 98% of the population!

Edit: didn’t realize this was an Australian instance.

I shamelessly steal ideas from them all the time. Fantasy Costco is in all my campaigns and always run by Garfield, the Deals Warlock. I even made an entire mini-campaign that took place entirely within Fantasy Costco.

The world is on fire, Spongebob. Now is not the time to be vulnerable.

Shut up and follow orders.

I had my characters experience a bit of the opposite of this in a DnD campaign. As part of the story, they had to break into a museum to steal an artifact. They went in when it was closing and met Doris, the sweet old lady at the entrance who told them “I’m sorry sweeties, the museum is closing for the day. But I’d be happy to arrange a tour for you tomorrow, my dears!”

Now, my characters had been getting a lot of runarounds from people in the city. Basically dealing with beuracratic headaches that were designed for them to get frustrated and just strong arm past to show how the seemingly oppressive government running the city was actually pretty ineffectual and many officials could just be brushed off or ignored with little consequence.So my frustrated characters, thinking they’re meeting yet another roadblock, decided “screw it, let’s just tie her up and ransack the place.”

But Doris was different. Doris had a backstory. Doris was a druid. And she was the head of security for the museum.

So when they attacked, instead of dealing with a frail old woman, they found a 12ft tall, pissed-off, Kodiak bear who FAR out leveled them. No one causes trouble in Doris’s museum.

Shit like this is why I shake my heads at dumbasses going “Just you wait ICE agents! Things didn’t work out too well for all the former Nazi’s who tried to say they were ‘just following orders’!”

Yes things actually did turn out just fine for the overwhelming majority of Nazi’s. Only like a couple dozen faced any sort of consequences. The rest quietly returned to their lives as machinists, butchers, office workers, farmers, etc.

This picture is a reflection of every user here who thinks this is real or not satire.

Ok wait… Can I use AI to change clickbait headlines into actual summaries of articles, without hyperbole, or people getting “slammed”? I am sure googles goal is only to create more clickbait, but if there was a way to do the opposite, that would be the first good use of AI I’ve seen.

I’m sure he’s really sad on his yacht with his billions of dollars.

I really liked the first 80% of Firewatch. The last 20% though… I guess I didn’t hate it, but I also really didn’t like the switch in tone. Without giving spoilers, the ending left me feeling kind of disappointed with how normal it was. I remember finishing the game and immediately going to look if there was an alternative ending, because certainly the game wouldn’t just end like… That.

Like, imagine working on a big murder mystery where a man was found dead inside a locked room with no windows. You gather tons of clues, interview countless people searching for a motive, spend a lot of time putting together all the pieces and… It turns out he simply tripped and hit his head.

Like, there’s still a mystery. There’s still a good story. It’s not even a really bad ending, it’s just not nearly as exciting as where you thought it would lead.

Why does that photo look so off? I’m leaning toward not AI, but it also doesn’t look like a real protest. More like a stock photo or a staged photoshoot.

Abiotic Factor is not a bad game, but holy shit is that such a different game.

Thats like if someone was craving chicken noodle soup and you said “just have chili”.

Neither does Brave unless you specifically opt in to those services. It’s open source, you can check for yourself.

Someone hasn’t ever bothered to read past headlines.

It’s a bell curve situation.

Those who are uniformed don’t have anything against Brave and would consider it a pretty decent browser.

Those aware of the controversies hate Brave and want it to die.

Those who have taken even a moment to dig into the actual “controversies” and read beyond hyperbolic headlines don’t have anything against Brave and would consider it a pretty decent browser.

He also created JavaScript, but I don’t see people getting upset and telling others to not use JavaScript.

I was worried for a moment until I realized they’re talking about smart dashcams.

No shit Sherlock. Why the fuck would you buy a smart dashcam unless you were a fucking idiot who thinks every electronic needs to be connected to the internet?
