Hustle culture is a cancer honestly. Way too many people have internalized it and feel guilty for resting. I put myself in this bucket too, but I’m working on undoing that cycle these days.

Not going hard 100% of the time doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you healthy. Lazy is so far on the other end of the spectrum.

As a small designer who puts a lot of effort into my work, I also hate shit like this. That amount of money would literally be life changing for me and they would have gotten something actually new out of it.

In a couple years they’ll right the same shit about why it’s a square again

I think games are on like a minimum of 3 services this year. It’s just out of control.

I think it’s gotta be my phone, because other devices on my network don’t seem to have the same problems

Thanks for the recommendations!

Beef has gotten truly insane where I live. I’ve completely stopped buying it.

If you ever have to open a command prompt, you’ve already lost them.

I’ve seen a lot of very tech savvy people still using google and chrome to this day. It’s the top search engine. The majority of people use it, including pirates.

I don’t just use em dashes, I also use en dashes. Take that, robots!

Never played it.

I’d say based on his last 3 songs he is now fully political. I mean we’ll see what he does next, but Hind’s Hall 1 and 2, and Fucked Up are all super political and powerful songs.

I’m too old to say what anything this generation is, but look up “fucked up” by Macklemore. Came out at the start of the year and it’s the most rage against the machine esque thing I’ve heard in years. Got me riled up.

Edit: I see you literally called him out in the post, so this is old news to you I’m sure. I’ll leave it for others to find!

Is there much depth to that? I’ve found in the past they keep adding new systems, and each new one has exactly the same issue of being another thing that’s not super deep. And by deep I mean full of surprises and things to learn, not you can technically do it for a long time.

I’ve tried to get into it periodically. I like aspects of it, but it’s also very bland in some ways I find. Like there are infinite cool planets to discover, but the resources are more or less the same on each and across the whole thing. There’s so much to see, but so little meat on the bones I guess?

I need a bit more pulling me forward than what that game gives you I think. The phrase “wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle” has been my experience with it unfortunately. I know a lot of people like it these days, though.

GTA. I’m a SciFi and fantasy guy so it just doesn’t do anything for me.

So in my opinion ai gen images are basically the opposite experience of looking at good art.

A good piece of art has loads of details and nuances that came from the artist’s taste and vision. The longer you look at it the more there is to appreciate. You keep finding new details you missed as you study it.

Ai gens are the opposite. They look fine and competent at a cursory glance, but the longer you look the less meaning you find, and the more defects you discover. Personally I believe this is why they feel so wrong to look at for any length of time.

I’m from this area originally, and photos of new Zealand always look kind of like home 🙂

I’ve always taken it to imply that at a certain number of differences, the comparison isn’t useful anymore, not that there are no avenues of comparison at all.

I’m of the same opinion that AI won’t be able to adequately replace many jobs, but only in the long term. In the short term I think it’s going to be a bit of a bloodbath with a lot of companies drinking the kool aid until they realize it’s not working.
