Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.

Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.

I’m glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I’m never gonna buy a PS5.

Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I’ve never finished them and probably never will. They’re good games, but it’s a bad platform. Bloody annoying.

Lego Island 2 was great

That would be so cool! We could do a kind of Asimov story with them if they’re intelligent. What are some good rules for mechs to follow in the Apex Legends universe?

On Blahaj reports are the only way to express disapproval of content. So you could for example spread fascist dogwhistles about not liking politics, and if Ada doesn’t understand the dogwhistle then your content doesn’t get removed. That gives cryptofascists free reign

The Apple wall isn’t in line with the other walls. It has the perspective of one of those paintings that got Adolf kicked out of art school

Hahahahahaha that dog’s name is awesome!

Now I want a dog named Git

🅱️inance 🫰🤌👌

The desktop is a good place to put stuff that I use rarely and may forget that I have or forget the name of.

For example, the games I own on Epic that I like are on my desktop, because I’d forget I had them if I had to open Epic to see them.

With the digital realm becoming increasingly important and approaching the physical realm in terms of importance and familiarity, I now consider people who use their desktop for everything to literally be hoarders. It’s mental illness. I forgive it in old people but if you grew up on computers and you live like this, this is a clinically significant unwillingness to clean up one’s personal space.

I hate it when games save in my documents folder. I use my documents folder for important stuff like my documents. Shove it in appdata or steamapps or somewhere reasonable.

The answer is pluralkit.

I need magic in order to feel like myself. I couldn’t keep being an atheist once I started using magic.

Not OP, but for me it was realising I was dronegender. I could either be an atheist whose identity was valid but not “real” as I conceived it, or I could embrace a religion that said my identity was achievable. That said mind melding with a swarm was possible and I could be who I am in a physical sense and not just a personal one.

Also I met a god. She’s nice.

TL;DR: child labour

I shall amend my comment to say clarification instead of correction.

AGI is the stuff you see on Star Trek.

Clarification. AGI describes Data, Moriarty, and Peanut Hamper, but it doesn’t describe the Enterprise’s computer. Which has speech recognition, but is less intelligent than an LLM.

Yeah, bruh is using the Halo definition of AI. Probably played too many video games instead of actually paying attention to the history of computing.

I for one think LLMs are more intelligent than an ant. The writer of this piece is using the movie definition of AI instead of the real world definition of AI.
