Traditionally, theme parks have a large variety of rides, ranging from bad rides to good rides.
Has anyone tried making a theme park with only good rides?

If the Democrats take control of Congress in about a year and Jeffries and Schumer haven't been primaried, then they almost certainly will be the leaders of both bodies, and based on all available evidence they will take that opportunity to immediately surrender in the name of unity and comity.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

It's fascinating how Rebecca Heinemann managed to make Out of this World run on the SNES. Interplay, publisher of the console versions and the company she co-founded, wouldn't pay for Super FX/static RAM/FastROM chips. "I made a game using polygons working on a 65816 with pure software rendering."

I repeat, RFK Jr doesn’t have to say “I’m banning vaccines” to effectively ban vaccines. Exhibit umpteen hundred and sixteen (this happened the same day they appointed the anti-vaxxing snake-oil salesman above as deputy CDC head):
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx

Talk to the less techy people in your life about LLMs and image/video generation and why marketing is calling it AI. They have bought into the BS fully and need education on what it can do, what it cant, and how much it has to steal to do it. Help them. Our media wont.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

I know that some devs like Riot look at pick rate as a factor for balance, and like, yeah pick rate might indicate a character being too strong, or it might just indicate a character being fun, and you gotta figure out which it is.

While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.
Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

The question "soldiers should obey illegal orders" ultimately boils down to "should soldiers shoot and kill opponents of the regime when the pretend dictator commands them to do so?"
Whether they realize it or not, these people are arguing the regime should be allowed to kill political opponents.

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

RoboQuest VR has some truly confusing default control layout choices and no way to alter or remap any of it. Big letdown for a VR conversion I was so excited for.
Gripping makes your weapon vanish ao you can melee.
A button isnt jump, its reload.
Defying VR standards like this is so unintuitive.
