Kojima putting a game about purgatory into purgatory. Bravo! He’s done it again!

and then I sign it “Movie Guy”

is Movie Guy your pseudonym?

no it’s just a name I use instead of my real name

I love Home Movies

tl;dw

The ethics violation is definitely bad, but their results are also concerning. They claim their AI accounts were 6 times more likely to persuade people into changing their minds compared to a real life person. AI has become an overpowered tool in the hands of propagandists.

Nobody could misunderstand this!

 A • B

You’re allowed out of your cages? Jealous!

Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It’s not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was “obviously a joke”.

Appropriate that you used tea bags because it’s a popular legend that tea bags were created after customers misused the product. Some tea sellers started selling their tea in silk bags with the intention that customers would remove the leaves from the bag before use. Instead, customers dipped the bag of leaves directly into water.

I think you mean:

sudo I want to delete everything to corrupt my system

Screw anyone who says Stardew Valley is a cozy game. If I don’t water my plants they die! If I stay up too late I’ll lose money! I can’t get the fish I need unless I fish at 6pm in the mountain lake on a rainy Tuesday in winter! Abigail has once again dominated me at the egg hunt! Ahhhhh!

You can always request a refund while outside the 2 hour limit, it’s just going to be manually reviewed instead of automatic.

The time limit is arbitrary. There are lots of games that can be finished within a few hours. I’ve heard some devs say their short games are refunded at much higher rates than longer ones and recommend ensuring a game is at least 2 hours long. It’s like YouTube paying more money to creators who make videos that are 10min+. Now you have videos that could have been 2 minutes stretched out for meta reasons.

I doubt Blue Prince specifically tries to hide game mechanics for 2 hours to prevent people from refunding it. It’s just a slow burn puzzle game.

The ghosting of the sword, the overly wavy reflections in water, the sun burning your retinas. 15 frames of perfection every second!

The only people who would register would be janitors, mods, and admins. There are 4chan passes where you pay $20 a year to skip captchas and have a lower post cooldown which works by associating a token with an IP address. The token is emailed to you and you get reminder emails when the token is expiring so you can renew it. So 4chan would likely have emails for pass users too. Pass users still post anonymously. I don’t know the exact stat but I remember the owner saying something like only 1% of users have a pass.

You underestimate how many people literally cannot stop themselves from playing Mario. I’d hope it’s mostly children begging their parents, but I have a feeling there’s a decent amount of 30 year olds with disposable income and zero impulse control in there.

remember this video game is Open World. That means we must open our wallets and pay all the money in the world.

Honestly surprised this hasn’t be used by a game studio yet.

Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

It really sends the message that nobody is going to dominate them (except their scalie mommy).

“Ugh veggies again! I want pizza!”

“You should be thankful you have veggies. There are starving children in Africa.”

“Whataboutism!”

Explain?
