Give me fuckin solar panels bro, let me harness the energy of the fuckin sun
Unghhhhh
Unghhhhh
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

www.transformernews.ai/p/the-left-i...
The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Great point here and it's why good game writing is important. Making these things feel natural within your game world is important!
Tutorials are important
The question shouldn't be if we need them or not but rather how to actually make them fun or not stand in the way of the game.
Because right now most seem to be designed for the worst player imaginable, forced onto everyone & leaving them feeling belittled or looked down on

the thing that makes me so frustrated beyond anything is that this woman made a bunch of money from body positivity content that then allowed her to start losing weight and lecturing other people about being fat! not everyone has access to that kind of care and not ONE mention of that!
This is indistinguishable from right-wing anti-SJW agitprop

hey remember when the UK government wanted to put benefits recipients on GLP-1s because apparently your weight is tied to literally everything morally right or wrong about you

btw this is basically going to be like, anything computerised, so guess pretty much everything's going to go to shit in terms of electronics. neat!

I know a bunch of people are just gonna be like "oh, that's why it's bad, Tencent made it bad" but like, no. Obviously some return on investment is required but as far as I've ever seen it Tencent just lets devs do their thing.

so i tracked this video down and basically the gist is "well because you had less options" and I mean, yeah. I'd hold my players hostage with obscure progression too if I could get away with it? doesn't make tutorials bad!
I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

a reminder that if you let a government harm any group of minorities, they will harm all of them and then all of the non-minorities too. you cannot sacrifice one group without sacrificing all. that's why voting for people like Newsom will only ever be a relief for maybe a month or two.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
