Could it be that different stories require different lengths of time to tell? No, that’d be silly. Clearly you two should keep arguing.

Ok, I know it’s a sequel of a beloved game, but I just need to say it because I know I can’t be the only one:

VAMPIRES ARE LAME AND BORING!! They have been overdone to hell and back just like zombies were. They aren’t interesting. I see a form of media with vampires and I instantly do not give a shit. They are always so fucking lame too, immortals who have lived hundreds of years but somehow all of them seem to pick Victorian England as the time period to base their language, dress, architecture, and mannerisms off of. And no, modernizing them does not help, they are still fucking lame.

Use. A different. Monster. Holy shit there are so many to choose from. Reptillians, malicious fae, skinwalkers, changelings, witches, warlocks, three gnomes in a trenchcoat, ANYTHING! Or just make your own up! Stop using vampires!

If you rotate your tires, don’t forget to get your wheels rebalanced at the same time! So many places, usually quick oil change places, will offer a tire rotation service but WONT rebalance them and then you’ll drive off and wonder why your car is so shaky.

AMD is also in Israel. As is Intel.

All of them are. You want a sex scene? Go watch porn. Has no business being in any other media except as a distraction. It’s practically never used to move the plot, it’s all just pandering to gooners who can’t seem to function or pay attention to anything without their hands on their dicks.

Man bad.

All the people going “yea it was good, but there are better games!” are missing the point. Sure there are better games, or better stories, but Expedition 33 is a work of art. The soundtrack alone is amazing I often play it in the background when I’m working. Not because I’m nostalgic for the game, but simply because it’s beautiful. And the graphics/backgrounds are incredibly well done, I can count on one hand the number of games that have made me stop and just… Sit for a while, taking in the view. Expedition 33 does that multiple times, even hours into the game in Act III, I’m still finding areas that make me stop and just go “Wow…”

When looking at it as just a game, it’s still great. 9/10. Not the absolute best game or most engaging gameplay ever, but still very well done and a lot of fun. It’s everything else that propels it into 10/10.

I like giving it impossible tasks, like spell OPERATION with only 4 letters, and arguing with it as it refuses to just admit that I’m wrong and have requested something impossible, or when it tries to cut corners. “No, I don’t want an abbreviation, or a word that means the same thing, I want you to spell the full word OPERATION with only 4 letters. Why can’t you get this right?”

Name a single country that doesn’t have blood on its hands.

So this brings up an interesting question, what qualifies as “tool use”? Google’s answer seems vague and too broad. Are hermit crabs tool users? What about those crabs that carry around sea anemones to use as weapons? What about lacewing larva, also known as trash bugs? They carry a lot of debris on their back to use as camouflage.

What about beavers? They build dams. What about birds? Yea, crows and parrots obviously, but almost all birds build nests.

I’ve job hopped a lot, and literally no company has ever asked for my social media besides indeed, which I keep sterile clean. Actually, they’ve never even specifically asked for that either, that’s just where I’ve applied through.

Our industries may differ though.

Are NVIDIA drivers still an absolute bitch to get working correctly? Is there still no way to run games off Gamepass?

Ok cool, so it’s NOT just easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to switch.

But what if they come with cat ears and they call me a good boy?

Would someone from that time recognize 1066 as the year? Were they using modern date formats for years at that time?

“I’ll take people shitting into my mouth over dogs. At least it’s real humans doing it.”

Just another flavor of cynicism for me. Before AI, I would look at most “cute” animal videos and just see an animal performing a trained trick under the guise of “Omg, LOOK my dogs love spontaneously hugging each other, isn’t that cute??!!”

People have ALWAYS lied on the internet.

So what?

Seriously, so what?

Chatbots have been around for ages, way longer than the current “AI” trend. It’s always been possible to get them to say some version of “kill yourself”.

ChatGPT didn’t gaslight a guy into killing his mom. A mentally ill man killed his mom. If a fucking chatbot is the thing that triggered it, then anything could have. Same thing with the people killing themselves because a chatbot told them too. That’s just cold Darwinism. We didn’t suddenly ban Catcher in the Rye because some schizophrenic guy decided it was telling him to kill John Lennon; we recognized that there are simply crazy people in this world who could be set off by anything.

The “safeguards” you want in place are not feasible because you want them to account for people with mental illness, or people so stupid that something else would have killed them first.

You want the real story to this article? Dumbass dies from using drugs irresponsibly, parents blame anything they can except their son because they are too blinded by grief to recognize that their precious little junkie was a fucking idiot. ChatGPT did not force him to take drugs. ChatGPT did not supply him with drugs. That was all him. The only one to blame for his death is his dumbass self.

People will always find a way to kill themselves no matter how many warnings and guardrails are put into place. This is just Darwinism shaking the tree.

So, until recently, do you honestly believe that they just didn’t test female contraceptives? Or do you think they tested them on males instead? Or maybe that argument is a little bit nonsense in this case because while women as a whole are underrepresented in medical testing, the idea that they never, ever, tested on women (especially in the case of drugs exclusively made for women) is a little bit of a ridiculous concept.

Man bad.
