It’s been a while but from what I remember every character woman is either an idiot or a manipulator.
They took the witch from the first game and made her a conniving lying betrayer.
The way Leah was written is… Not good. Weird purity issues. And she dies horribly.
The female follower NPC is… A scantily clad enchantress.
You start to see a theme and wonder about what the author thinks.
These so called conservatives really have the worst stance on like every issue.
I feel like stupid is consistent. Someone who is stupid will wear these glasses, and also act like the manager in this story.
Because they’re blood soaked assholes who would be facing very uncomfortable consequences if there was justice in the world.
The Republicans are not competent. That’s assuming they even care about what they talk about. They don’t live in a fact driven reality.
I completely forgot diablo: immortal even existed. I see it has generally poor reviews, which is not surprising.
At launch, it was pretty bad. The story was awful. Bad writing. (Whoever wrote ‘How tastes your fear?’ needs to go back to school). Misogyny.
The gameplay was really bad at launch. The auction house borked it up. The game is essentially a lot of gear checks, and at launch you would slam into that wall pretty frequently. The same tactics would wipe or be a snooze based entirely on the numbers on your gear. Getting good gear was really hard, unless you used the auction house. It was deeply unsatisfying. Also most of the random boss powers were really annoying to play against.
Even after the expansion and updates, it tends to turn into disco laser rollercoaster. Personally, I’m not a fan of that. I preferred the original’s more sedate, gloomy, mood. Holding down right click to shoot lasers and drop meteors for billions of damage is amusing for a little while, but it’s so tactically shallow it doesn’t hold my attention for that long.
I played it a lot anyway, because the first two games were favorites in my youth. I didn’t even get 4. Fuck microsoft.
I don’t know. I think some things are important. Someone who loves live music and goes to see something a few nights a week would probably be happier with someone else who, all other things equal, had a similar interest. If you’re looking to pair people up in ways that won’t work long term, because you’re a company of ghouls looking to make money, then matching the music lover with the music disliker is better for your business. With enough data points, you can probably make some confident predictions.
Hinge also isn’t making you pick from dichotomies. You enter free text for most of it, and pick as many from a list as you like for others.
Corporate abuse of language is frustrating. I’ve worked with a lot of product manager types that really want to use extra words. “Let’s just swag it”. “We need to force rank these initiatives”. “Can you do a research spike this sprint?”
Now that song by the clash is in my head again
I’m all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality
This was Hinge, which is owned by Match Group (who own okcupid and many others). It’s the least bad, I found, but that is extremely faint praise.
I used to use OKCupid way back. It used to be better. I’m pretty sure you could search. Like you could just type in “Star Trek” or “Dark Souls” and find people who had that on their profile. Nowadays you just take what the algorithm gives you.
Glad I finally am in a position where I’m not on the apps (knock on wood, etc). I was getting dates but I could always tell it was in spite of their best efforts.
And even the person I’m with now, I feel like the app algorithm thought we’d be like an 80%. On paper it doesn’t seem like it’d be a long term fit- i have a cat, she has a dog. I like a lot of metal, she likes jam bands. Lot of room for the algorithm to predict we’d have a few dates and then it wouldn’t work out.
And as someone else said, most of them are owned by Match group. Even the myths of capitalism require competition for products to be good. Match should be broken up.
There’s always a chunk of people who want to be the boot. And a chunk of people who are happy to eat boots if they can be the boot sometimes.
Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.
Prosecutors are part of the problem
I don’t do any banking via an app. It’s only from my desktop, never my phone. If they required an app, I’d change banks.
A fine article, but maga types aren’t going to read and think about it. They just feel
Where’s that comic with the guy saying “I’ve been SILENCED” on like tv, radio, and a book tour?
The right wing are a bunch of insecure idiots who can’t grapple with the complexity of real life, and so demand everything be simplified into hierarchical in-group and out-group. They’re failures. Even dogs can figure that out.
That’s a life changing amount of money for a lot of people. Cruz is a real piece of shit.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll fall out of one of his planes or something.
I feel like one possible future where I go to jail is when a conversation goes like
Me: “That thing you’re doing is unnecessary, bad for the environment, and bad for society.”
Them: “But I like it”
Me, screaming “BUT I LIKE IT” while I punch them in the face over and over and over and over.
Liking something is not a trump card that supersedes all other concerns, and yet some galaxy brains act like it is. Much more respect for people who can admit “I don’t care about the environment or society” out loud.
They should be stopped.
