The police involved should be treated as murderers.

It’s the poor empathy thing again. They can’t really imagine someone else as different than themselves.

I actually never played much XCOM, but I did play a lot of final fantasy tactics. And the original fallout.

I think Baldur’s gate 3 cheats though, since with karmic dice off I rolled four natural 1s in a row, twice.

I’ve played a lot of games with random factors. Sometimes you miss that 99% shot three times in a row. People kind of assume anything above 80% is 100%, which is silly.

Preferring an absence of tension over the presence of justice is famously a weak moral position to take.

Those are two very different things.

Someone who says “I’m not very political” in a maga-infused bar because they’re afraid of being assaulted for being left-wing isn’t really the same as “I’m tired so I’m not going to stand up for my neighbor today”

These people need to be ruined. Lose their job. Barred from working in similar roles for life. Put their boss on notice- if their underlings pull this again then they go, too.

Good read.

I fuck around with Claude at work because there’s a mandate to do so, and it’s unsettling how it mimicks being a person. A lot of the parts are there. It would be easy to fall into that delusion.

It’s unsafe.

A woman who was arrested on Saturday after she drove a truck through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas – killing a boy and a man – has been released from custody without charges pending further investigation, according to authorities.

Once again, the best way to do some murder is with a car. People just accept it

I had someone get mad at me once because I ended an otherwise innocuous text with a period. I was like, it doesn’t mean anything. I was going to write another sentence, but then didn’t. Stop imagining secret meanings.

I think they were my worst ex partner, come to think of it.

“He’s not as good at this as he thinks he is,” said Christopher Preble, senior fellow and director of the Reimagining U.S. Grand Strategy program at the Stimson Center, an international security think tank.

Yeah. He’s an idiot.

Cooperative sports would be interesting. Two teams come in, and they need to get a ball through some obstacles together…

We are ruled by idiots. It’s probably been that way for the majority of history.

Most places I’ve worked, management has been a negative force.

I didn’t hear anything about these protests. Not even on Lemmy. But I don’t use Facebook products nor reddit, so my information sources are a little spotty.

I feel like if I was playing a scheduled game, I’d rather just play a tabletop RPG than be tied down to this game engine. But I guess the scale is different here and that might be interesting.

I did recently start a tabletop game, though with a system I like a thousand times more than DND.

I recently reinstalled nwn enhanced to see if I would enjoy it so many years later. The answer is no. DND 3rd is a bad system and nwn is slow and clunky. So much time is spent just watching animations. No tactical decisions. Just watch animations as it rolls dice.

It doesn’t help that the original campaign is bad.

Maybe it’s better in multiplayer, which admittedly is the main topic here. But the single player was so bad I can’t imagine wanting more.

People are emotionally driven. Everyone is, to an extent. Scientists are less likely to use that to support their point, or they’ll have emotionally displeasing things to say.

Right. Some people seem to never really develop that judgement.

Anyone can go through the code. And maybe find things, if they’re not too subtle and not successfully obfuscated. But not everyone will.

I feel like a malicious actor could hit a big pay day with a popular thing like Bloodborne, before people found the malice. There’s plenty of malware posing as game cracks out there, and it’s only easier to do that with AI tooling.

But aside from that, AI code can have confidentially incorrect code that has unwanted consequences.

Code review is difficult.

First time: blasphemous blade. Took hours. Used mimic tear. Barely got it.

Second time: antspur rapier, finger print shield. Done in 5 minutes. Poke poke poke rot swish poke poke poison poke win.
