it is a good thing there is no option for political violence on this helpful chart about the distribution of political violence

you wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong ideas about the direction political violence has to flow

Gang I am having trouble deciding which version of the Mueller Report, often referred to as our generation's Magna Carta, I should get to commemorate three years since Trump's imprisonment.

Could you imagine how screwed the USA would have been if it turned out that all US Law and Politics were just a fake TV show for marks and rubes? Like what if the entire political and news industry just said whatever they thought would keep people quiet in the mean time while capitalist looters stole everything?

If Robert Mueller hadn't finally ended his career-long investigative losing streak, the USA might be setting itself up for a violent collapse. Bless you, Robert Mueller.

Some of the best guides for retro games out there are super obscure, hosted independently, or only still exist on the internet archive. I know a couple, but maybe we could make a big list.

The Princeton Guy's Let Us Cling Together: Tactics Ogre: Tactics Ogre comprehensive guide site. This is the most complete guide to the original Tactics Ogre in English that I know of. New remasters of the game have made this more obscure even within the SRPG community.

Beat'em Up Dissection: This web series is one of the best documentations/ genre spanning strategy guides ever assembled. There's knowledge here that you only see replicated on Games Done Quick and other niche communities. Look at those VIEWS. I am going to download the series just so I know there's a copy out there.

I'll add more when I think of them AND YOU SHOULD TO IF YOU KNOW ANY

I talk so much trash on here about how lemmings can't game and not only do they never step, they post about how AI is the future.

If ML is the future then why don't you use it to beat Castlevania 3?

Please mention your own favorite examples. The most notable difference between bosses IRL vs in games is that in games you generally get to beat the absolute tar out of them. No particular order.

T. Rex, Jurassic Park, Nintendo Entertainment System

There are lots of T. Rex in games, but this one eats children.

Gilgamesh, Final Fantasy V, SNES & various ports

Personally love womping on a bootlicker, and G here is a best in show of the breed.

Super Drunk, Bubble Bobble, Arcade & NES

This guy is kind of making fun of the drunks at bars where this game debuted, which is kind of mean, but as a character he is terrible and I relish in his destruction.

Deerhaunter, Timesplitters Future Perfect, Playstation 2 & Game Cube & Xbox

Because he is also playable, "The Moose is Loose" became a common call on game nights in the mid 00s (especially in Ohio).

Decoy Octopus, Metal Gear Solid, Playstation & PC

Controversial because he cannot be beaten without a multi-tap and "foreknowledge" aka you have to actually read the manual where it suggests you might need to read some Cold War history, plug in a multitap and do CQC on him during a cutscene.

Lemmings; Feel free to prove me wrong, but you will not. There are no pro gamers on Lemmy, as I demonstrated here.

Things that don't require effort:

  • copypasta from 2017

I'm just wondering about the internal components on mall cop robots like the Knightscope K5. It must be using a GPU and some pretty nice cameras, right? These are common models found in the United States. I have worked closely with knockoff BD dogs, I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about the Dalek looking things.

spread + AEW sounds like a great time OP I think its possible that your friends are not pro-level friends but maybe something else is amiss?

  • live in ohio
  • not good at video games
  • only know 4 girls, all have same name
  • the guys were all white dudes with beard + glasses, couldn't tell each other apart
  • invited mean guy

if not one of those try getting pro friends

I have noticed that almost nobody on Lemmy is very good at video games, so I am throwing this glove toss to the ground as a challenge. Crush these Batman Returns on the Super Nintendo achievements (you will fail, being poor at videogames) and support the community around this game. If you are less bad at videogames and want to see "how it is done" I suggest this speedrun, but it won't help 99.76% of the gamers on Lemmy who don't even know what tech is, in beat-em-up/ fighting games they aren't aware of it. We'll watch as the so called proud "BATMAN" fans of "lemmy, a can't play videogame so good community" downvote and hate upon this Batman Returns themed achievement set, just because they don't respect Michael Keaton's acting on Super Nintendo.

It's honestly just Jokerfying (who isn't even in this game) that I am apparently in the only 100ish gamers who have any of the good Batman Achievements for this entire game.

Alfred isn't even in this game because he was deemed TOO LIKELY to be KILLED by an infinite punch cancel chain, which would have raised the game's rating to "T for Teenengarten" in Germany.

Wikipedia is fine, it isn't "losing prominence." This is willful misinterpretation of a speech to make it sound more dire, a nonsense AI propaganda angle, and a bunch of ageist nonsense about Gen-Z that will be immediately familiar to anyone who pays attention to this kind of slop.

Please post better articles

Ars Technica is a captured outlet. They consistently post dangerous corpo propaganda and little else.

You should just stop spending money in general if you can. So many responses are like "buy literal garbage like disposable decorations at the dollar store," do not do that. Stop spending money on garbage. Every dollar you spend is damage to the environment and more power for the wealthy, just stop it. Stop spending.
Don't buy entertainment, use archive dot org. Read more. When you like something culture you consumed, give it to somebody else so they don't try to buy it. Pass entertainment around to your friends.
When you have to spend on things like haircuts, repairs, etc, keep the money in your social network. If you don't cook, learn. If you aren't a part of your local grocery distro, join it.

Avoid giving corpos money whenever you can and you'll save lots of money.

Why is Biz Insider so insistent on being cringe on top of being a worthless capitalist propaganda rag

[-] CondensedPossum@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

The reason your someone might have thought this was a stupid question is because

  • there is no evidence that AGI is imminent or even possible
  • current tech labeled as AI is really limited in very boring ways, like LLMs

If some thing gets sold as an AGI, it will be a Mechanical Turk, As in, it will be a magic trick that actually uses human laborers like Amazon's "AI Store" where you just walk out with your purchases. "If it works, it's mechanical turks."
