The existence of modding communities is predicated in being communities first and foremost, not jobs or money making schemes. This behavior poisons the well, creating a toxic community that makes the mods inaccessible to those not willing to be nickel and dimed after already purchasing the game.

They do need permission from the building owner to bring people inside to look at it though. And that usually involves paying them.

Or: they don’t know anything about her and only have her appearance to go off.

It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on “intelligent” data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn’t belong.

Seconding this. It’s not incredibly common but it’s not incredibly uncommon. Research shows that most people who have it don’t notice it until it’s pointed out. Drugs and stress tend to exacerbate the effect as well.

At least the starbursts make street lights pretty at night 🫠

He wanted to prove he didn’t hate homosexuals. Somehow. Not just to “own the libs”.

Something basic like the Mass Effect series helps sell the idea that you really did form a fully fledged relationship over the course of the game. As for Cyberpunk, the setting is literally designed to be dripping with sexuality. It’s not necessary for the story itself, but if you removed all the sex ads the setting simply wouldn’t reach the same level of “megacorporations maximizing psychological exploitation techniques”.

They succeeded in getting GTA5 pulled from the shelves of two of the largest physical distributors in Australia.

My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in.

No but there’s no law against expelling a state from the union. Kind of a reverse secession if you can piss trump off enough for him to actually do it (no law saying that only Congress can expel them, so it would go to the courts).

People were distributing edited versions of the dress image just to fuck with people. I’m convinced that trolling was the root of the entire “debate”.

Anyone who makes peaceful revolution impossible makes violent revolution inevitable.

There’s a growing catalogue of Lua mods for MWSE that aren’t cross-compatible and neither set of devs seem interested in a unified Lua API.

This appears to use OpenMW, not MWSE

This tracks with my previous attempts at reporting that Sinfest guy. Posts hundreds of comics that blatantly break multiple official substack content guidelines and I get the effective equivalent of a promise for “action” combined with a dismissive eye roll. They completely ignored my follow-up email detailing the complete lack of action and the dozen or so new content guideline violations.

I’m predicting clothing lines designed to trick the AIs into thinking you’re better endowed than you really are

Not really, there are quantum-resistant crypto algorithms

With a J but rhyming it with life

Luckily the majority of websites and Internet traffic go to the three cloud companies
