  • And the Lakota Sioux took it from the Cheyenne tribe by arrow point only 100 years prior to that. So yea, the Sioux had the land stolen from them by force, but they stole it by force themselves before that. And by this point, the US has controlled the land longer than the Sioux ever did.

    On the other hand, the US did have a formal treaty with the Sioux that granted them the land which the US willfully broke when gold was discovered.






  • Oh FUCK! It’s 2 weeks until the end of the semester and I completely forgot about my French class! I went to the first class and then never went back! Fuck! I don’t even remember where the class is, or who my professor was! It’s way too late to drop! Fuck fuck fuck. Is it possible to learn an entire semester of French in 2 weeks? Would that even help? I’ve missed every assignment! Fuck! What if I-

    SNAP

    Huhwha-? A dream? What the hell brain? I graduated college 10 years ago! I never even TOOK French!



  • Go to bakery, give them a flash drive, ask them to make a cake with a picture of the flashdrive.

    “Umm… You mean use a picture on the flashdrive?”

    “No, I want you to take a picture of the flashdrive itself and put it on the cake… It’s for a joke…”

    “Ok, whatever, you’re the customer!”

    Post picture of the cake you specifically requested “Omg! LoOk whAt thE BaKery diD!!!1”





  • I don’t ask characters to keep track of ammunition, but if they are using a crossbow or some type of gun, I will absolutely penalize them for not remembering to reload between combat. Or forgetting to retrieve thrown weapons. Its just always funny in an evil sort of way.

    “I’m going to attack the troll!”

    “Alright, how do you want to attack?”

    “I’m going to throw my enchanted spear at it!”

    “Your spear is a level down, back where you last threw it when fighting those goblins earlier.”

    Shocked pickachu face


  • Dude, it was 2022. AI was nothing back then. Certainly not something that people were debating the morality of at the time. It was a new tool. A developer tried it out for a few very minor assets that were only meant to be placeholders. This was’t “literally removing work from a human(concept artist)”. FFS, it probably was the concept artist who used it!

    Like imagine a new type of paint comes out that’s supposed to spread on canvas better. An artist gets some and tries a few test strokes on a blank canvas, goes “huh, interesting”, and then paints over it entirely with traditional paint. Then, the public turns against the new paint. Maybe it’s made from orphan blood, maybe it causes cancer; it doesn’t matter why, but it is now heavily frowned upon to use it. An art studio displaying the original artists work puts out a claim that none of their art uses the new type of paint. Were they lying? Like, ya technically I guess, but if you can’t see the nuance and understand how such a thing could happen, then your logic is less that of a human, and more that of a machine.


  • They already had the replacement assets created upon release, but forgot to swap them out and it was missed in QA. That’s why, pretty much as soon as they discovered it, they got it all replaced just 5 days after release.

    It’s pretty common for games to mistakenly release with minor assets still as placeholders instead of the official version. Who’s really going to look at something like the texture of a rock and be like “Wait just a minute! That’s not the official rock texture!”

    The more you learn about this, the more understandable it is. The only people mad are those who don’t know the whole story, or those that are just looking for an excuse to be mad, no matter how dumb the excuse.






  • Go into a Math based field. No more trying to read your professor’s personalities to figure out what their opinions are so you can bullshit them into a good grade. Just cold, hard numbers. Often many ways to get to the same answer, but at the end, you are either right, or you are wrong.

    I can’t stand subjective questions. How the fuck are you going to tell me that my interpretation of an abstract concept is wrong?! I’ll stick with numbers, thank you.
