I have rapidly grown to DESPISE this sentence structure. It gives me an actual visceral reaction of disgust.

I don't have this sort of reaction at all to the em dash in general, but that's probably just because I've always loved and (over)used them myself, so I can't accept them as "an AI thing."

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

The premise is flawed — streaming isn’t convenient anymore. When it came out, it was. But the act of putting a DVD or CD in a player is way more convenient than wading through multiple services to find what you’re looking for, finding out it’s not included in your tier, and dealing with commercials.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Don't you understand? The human race IS an endless number of monkeys. And every day we produce an endless number of words. And one of us already wrote Hamlet

im dead serious when i say fucking around (starting cool projects) is about 2% of the effort required in finding out (finishing projects), this is mostly why you don't see a lot of finished projects

I've been fancy once or twice, I guess, but getting namedropped by a college rankings list? That's a first.

Kids, did you know that before the internet, it was highly unusual to see a real person die on video?

They used to have urban legends about it, they called them "snuff films." Now we get autoplay videos of exploded soldiers and bloody mass shooting victims beamed right to our pockets.

We used neon blue 10’ tall satyrs for our miniboss placeholders on Titan Quest.

One still made its way into a trailer. :p

Damn you're telling me that if you cut two hours of commuting out of people's days, that they suddenly have time to reallocate to childcare and leisure and thus are more willing to have children, the world's largest and more adorable time suck?

I heard there was
a secret cord
that David kept

but he can never find it

The environmental cost of Montreal data centres | News Montreal is emerging as a hub for new AI data centres, but researchers warn the infrastructure powering them could put pressure on Quebec’s electricity and water systems.

Ugh. No thank you. I'm not interested in jacking up my electric bill just for the benefit of killing more jobs and boiling the ocean, even if that sounds like all sorts of mustache-twirling fun. :p

As a young PC gamer in the 80s/early 90s, I got my games on disks, but heard rumors of C64 games coming on casette tape.

I was mystified by this and assumed it meant an audio casette with someone *reading the code aloud* and you’d listen and program the game yourself.

Alas, no, just data storage.

I love that the options are “No support/stability,” “No support/stability,” and “APPARENT support/stability.”

Game industry, baby! :D

It is absolutely insane how good Arkham Knight still looks for a game that came out over a decade ago.

No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.
