sentient characters and creatures

Of the first AGI is a companion app for this card game I’ll eat my hat

Wiping your ass with silk is still significantly more friction than water

Path of exile charges for inventory QoL and with the ludicrous amount of different stuff that drops, it’s arguably kind of mandatory if you’re trying to complete seasonal objectives

Well. You probably shouldn’t sell out if you want control of the game’s roadmap.

Yeah I mean you had to buy the deluxe to be in the early access release

One of these days people will learn to not preorder games

Literally the only property of Eidos that I care about, and it was bad enough that the studio wasted so much time on that garbage avengers game rather than finish the deus ex story they left hanging.

Another Epic con: they bribe devs to not launch their games on Steam and GoG, because their store isn’t good.

Veep is far and away the most accurate political show we’ve ever had

It’s moderately common in my social circles to argue that South Dakota is a hoax

It would probably cost like $1 of components to make most led bulbs resilient to all but spookiest of power delivery, but why sell something once when you can make them buy it over and over again

200 vulnerabilities, 2-3 that might actually be exploitable, and no prioritization. But look at these metrics!

Cybersecurity, as a profession, is a fool’s errand.

Dedicated security staff exist solely to teach real engineers how to do their job, and the fact that such personnel exist is a catastrophic failure in computer science curriculum
