  • Chat gpt just loves pointing out twists!

  • Don't overthink it

  • Guys it's simple they just need to automate AI to read these papers for them to catch if AI language was used. They can automate the entire peer review process /s

  • I really wanted to like the first one but felt like the puzzles and movement were so tedious.

    To be fair I generally play videogames stoned, which generally I always find enjoyable even on cerebral puzzle games like talos principle. in fact, I like being high cuz it makes it harder.

    But senuas first game trying to walk around and match the pattern against the environment was absolutely miserable to do high, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it sober either.

    I loved the combat, but that was so infrequent it didn't keep me engaged. Finally after dying and having to restart and do a puzzle section all over again I said fuck it and uninstalled.

  • Hahahahha, dumbass that's so funny

  • Exactly. I was trying to be conservative by choosing only 6 and sticking to the cheaper plans.

    But it is entirely conceivable today that, if someone has literally all the subscriptions, they could be paying more than cable costs.

    Another factor I ignored for brevity is, at least when I was a kid, the price of cable was often bundled with Internet and telephone services. I can't speak to how accurate the numbers would be, but I'm pretty sure my dad was paying $100+ for cable and everything else, meaning the cable likely wasn't the entire cost of the bill. But I digress....

    Streaming has gotten out of hand, and anyone who disagrees with me today will eventually agree within a decade.

  • But the direction is certainly heading towards the realm of cable prices...

    • Netflix: $15.49
    • Amazon Prime Video: $14.99
    • Apple TV+: $6.99
    • HBO Max: $15.99
    • Disney+: $10.99
    • Hulu: $14.99

    Total: $79.44 per month

    So maybe when you account for inflation it is still only half of what cable costs,.perhaps. but those are the cheaper plans. For HDR support for Netflix it's like $25, and it's the reason I cancelled Netflix.

    I don't think the meme is dumb, just ahead of it's time, but it's calling out what is certainly happening.

    Most streaming services now include ads in the paid subscription.

    Inch the ad ratio and prices up another 40% and we are getting pretty close to cable experience/cost. And that's only a few years away when we look at how much costs have raised over the last 10 yrs.

    If each service raises price $1/month every year and you have 6 services, then in 5 yrs you're paying $30 more per month, prob around $100+.

  • You can hug???

  • I'm eager to revisit NV and 3 soon... I did 4 modded survival mode about a year ago and that was some fun shit.

    76 is also on my radar as I've heard it has improved tremendously to be a respectable offering, even if not the best in the series.

  • U know

  • Same. It's the thought that counts. Better than just blindly pirating without any attempt to participate in the market. But when the market gets absurd like this, this is the only recourse.

  • Does anyone know how I can get on a private tracker site. I have a whole containerized home server setup but still stuck on TPB. I'm ready to serve. Would love an invite.

  • No need to call names. We wouldn't even have this post without OP. Criticism is fine but be respectful.

  • It happens every day, i just keep getting so unlucky 😭

  • Lmfao

  • I was expecting something more profound. Isn't this just the concept of using variables to keep code readable? Not a new concept and likely one most devs learn early on.

  • Cue the Aaaaayyyeeee daahhhh mo deeeeee daahhhhhhhhhh

    <heavy drums>

  • Onyx?
