Re: Aaand, In Other News...

Musk has actively been manipulating Grok into treating legacy media as false when it disagrees with his lunatic far-right narrative. It's somewhat unsurprising that they haven't learned from the history of this style of AI chatbot - not learning from history is pretty standard for the US these days...

Re: The F1 thread

I genuinely used to like Horner, when compared to the likes of Ron Dennis he was a breath of fresh air, but my word how that opinion changed over the last decade. He's a smarmy, slimy, wretchedly unsporting mouthpiece happy to have his team moan and complain about every single advantage their oppone...

Re: General Gaming News

Raid and I played it, and while the scope of what they are doing is amazing the levels of jank were beyond olympian :lol: One day, it might be amazing, but it sure ain't there yet! "Jank" assumes that the product actually works in some way. It doesn't, all of the on-foot stuff was entirely broken, ...

Unable to decide how many developers it'll have to fire to achieve it's Q4 net profit targets, EA decides that selling enough copies for 1.25% of the world's population is an achievable goal for their next Battlefield game. https://www.eurogamer.net/ea-reportedly-expects-battlefield-6-to-have-100-mi...

Re: General Gaming News

I've seen the updated model and I think the new one looks better. I find Nightdive are excellent at updating things to have the same feel as the original. Besides, the Cyborg Midwife was always scary because of her soothing, but electronic voice saying "I'll tear out your spine." That was always the...

Re: General Gaming News

If this had the same level of attention given to the environments as it had the character models, I'd have been interested. It feels like there's a new version of System Shock 2 released every 5 years or so, but they only ever update the enemies and weapons, the level geometry looks identical to the...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

If no Americans die they might call it quits at that like they did with Soleimani. I'm assuming Israel will push for more no matter what. If it were Obama in charge, sure, but Trump? He's trying to do the dictatorial strongman act. It doesn't matter if he attacked first, Iran have attacked him . It...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

https://i.postimg.cc/h49dZkG4/IMG-2327.jpg These things are really well written. And, innevitably: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn7ze4vmk2pt So I'm guessing that's another round of airstrikes from the US on all of the launchers? Maybe a quick killing of the Supreme Leader? You know, a proportion...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Wait, they called the previous film "Dead Reckoning Part 1", and the immediate sequel is called "Final Reckoning" and not "Dead Reckoning Part 2"? The naming scheme for MI films has confused me in the past (I accidentally watched a later film before the preceding one a few years back), but that's ju...
