The asylum boss is pushing me to my limit in Romeo but I'm also basically doubling my knowledge of the combat system in the process, so I'm still enjoying it

So did AI tell them it was worth their time spending an entire article passive aggressively dunking on this graduate and basically advertising the use of AI? She was right to walk away imho

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

Watching women's curling and my main thought is how it's just the coolest thing in the world to me when someone is so good at something I'm sure at some point everyone in their lives told them "lol I don't see the point of learning this" then haha sucker now they're now a professional expert at it

Folks the sound I made the first time this happened in the game
From ROMEO Art Director Kunihiko Taniwaki:
"Can you imagine how utterly insane it is to melt a dummy head's face with a flamethrower in a sweltering, humid, air-conditioner-less warehouse studio in the middle of summer in Japan? Special effects by Tomo Hyakutake, DP & compositing by Takuma Araki."

I met Khary Payton, Drebins’ voice actor at a con and someone had asked about how it was working on MGS4, if there was any standout moments to him he remembered.
He then began to describe being given Laughing Octopus’s backstory and genuinely thought he was being pranked.

The funny thing about the weird fantasy people have about AI sentience is that if machines really truly DID start developing true autonomy, this country wouldn't welcome them with open arms. companies and the gov't would do everything in their power to deny their personhood

makes sense, from start to end of my teenage years I played Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9 and 10 as they came out. that kind of thing is gonna warp you into being dependably nostalgic if nothing else. if the only contemporary FF I got to play was 15? that couldn't warp me, I'd be normal and well adjusted.

Fun fact: Costco is basically the only store I've never been treated weirdly in for being black my entire life.
No weird glances or followers, no asking for 2 IDs for alcohol, no talking down to me like I'm a literal child, no one assuming I'm there for the cheapest products possible. None of it.
