there’s literally a sex% speedrunning category https://www.speedrun.com/baldurs_gate_3?h=sex&x=7dgemg72

for me, the main selling point of kbin over lemmy was the transparency in user interactions on here. the last straw on the camel’s back over at lemmy for me was seeing blatant vote manipulation hiding behind the end-user anonymity; kept an eye on some accounts that would instantly always get the same number of upvotes, dependent on the specific account, less than 3-5 seconds after posting. it was always some single-digit amount (I assume to not get flagged by the system), but that’s all it takes to signal others to feel safer upvoting it.

the same can be done likewise to bury others’ content that they can view as competition to what they want seen, multiple early downvotes can act as a subconscious deterrent to others

okay, I’ll concede, my scope also was pretty limited. I still stand by not trusting the public with deciding what’s the best use of AI, when most people think what we have now is anything more than statistics supercharged in its implementation.

I still go back to older consoles/handhelds because of some of their libraries, and, judging from releases, publishers do, too

high fidelity doesn’t equal pretty graphics; it’s just a chosen art style. the problem surrounding all this MK switch stuff is they had to compromise on their art style, and make it much much less cohesive with the original intent, to get it to run on the system. An MK designed with the switch as a high priority would be a very different-looking game

given that, 3/10 is still a meme score meant to drive traffic to their site

you also don’t have to understand how 5g works to know it spreads covid /s

point is, I don’t see how your analogy works beyond the limited scope of only things that result in an immediate loss of life

so that’s what the controller would look like if it wore pants

“You’ll own nothing, and you’ll like it”

reading further, after the knee-jerk:

• “Of the two cases so far this year, one was in a person who tested positive after being admitted to hospital and the other was an asymptomatic staff member of a veterinary practice.”
• “Only one named individual has previously tested positive – Wendy Hayes, of Stoke, who caught it from a pregnant foster dog she took in from Belarus last year.”

half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored

had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions “The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics.”

The article here also mentions “two people caught it this year from dogs”
…oh. oh dear

I really do like it for something that I want to just add quick/small edits to, or something that can be slapped together quickly. But I do hope this isn’t the start of a trend to bloat mspaint and aim to compete against more robust image editors.

The pessimist in me fears they’re going to, and start slapping on AI data harvesting measures that they’re integrating into Windows, like for training their own AI art generators. But this addition, in a bubble, is a welcome change.
