Then couldn’t they just ignore that state in the tally? It’s just a quick way to disenfranchise your own state.

Alternative headline: Science disproves well known conspiracy theory again; conspiracy theorists deny evidence.

This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.

“I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

He saw then charging a toll and wanted to also charge a toll.

It’s true, the only evangelizing I want to see on my feed is converting to Linux.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

If neither, Nuclear Fallout Friday…

I wish the industry would just adopt standards like what RetroAchevements already does that prohibits both ends of the spectrum. Excessive achievements (as well as multiplayer) get subsets, progression achievements still exist but mostly to track “beating” a game. Nothing too easy, although April 1sts “Baby Mode” set for FF8 was fantastic. Lol

Having a standard made it higher in my mind than Steam achievements. Technically PS and Xbox have set rules too but not nearly as well thought out (e.g. what classifies as a Bronze vs Gold) and still allow some real unoriginal bullshit lol

Yeah, I always thought that was neat since it’s mostly a happy accident from needing to allow freed slaves citizenship. I much prefer that over some sort of bloodline metric.

Huh, always weird when I see local news on my Lemmy feed.

FYI, South Bay is especially car brained, even my LA. We have a major refinery, some car manufacturer HQs, and I’m pretty sure more mechanics per capita than most of Cali. Long history with the automotive industry going back to the founding of a lot of these little cities.

It’s a shame, too. The beach cities are lovely places to walk and somehow have terrible biking and public transportation infrastructure. The people there can be a bit entitled, though (and it’s it just me or did this guy do it right outside his fucking home? Lol). But I don’t know a solution, it’s practically every other day someone is mowed down 'round here by a muscle car, and the areas East of El Segundo have a lot more waking families since we can’t afford cars.

A little hope, though. I saw they mentioned the Sawtelle area too. I used to live there, and not only did they 180 on that case, Stoner Park is now surrounded by mini roundabouts. So change does happen after this type of thing, and their jurisdiction is LA itself, not a smaller city in a city.

There’s something rich about this coming from Nippon Ichi’s former head, the company that brought us the artistic masterpieces known as the Disgaea series. Truly visionaries, lol.

(PS I like the games and tbf, they’re… unique).

So many better examples in the comments; hell even Dragon Quest has more time travel in it than FF, lol.

Edit: people keeping score: 1, 8, 11, 13-2 and 14 have some form of time travel. 10 is debatable, as it’s complicated (and not time travel but spoilers to explain) but understandable if you think Tidus got zooped into the future. Oh and 15 has a time skip stasis, but I’m not counting that.

Only 8 and 13-2 have it as central theme, and 10s fake time travel. In 1 it’s a small thing regarding the big bad but pretty neat, 11 it’s an expansion, 14 is a location.

It’s kind of wild but Fortnite makes (or made?) way more money than UE royalties, like magnitudes more. UE is a boon to the industry to be sure, but somehow 5% of games’ revenue simply isn’t the same as insane people spending money on stupid skins and dances.

Now is UE was used for 20 games as big as Fortnite, they’d be fine but most AAA companies won’t use UE if they expect a huge haul, with a few exceptions of course.

I feel like they’re just covering their asses because the c-suite wants their AI summaries in emails and shit, but the devs know using it for anything is creative suicide. That, and maybe localization still wants their AI tools, which predate LLMs but probably get lumped in anyway.

Technically a large percentage (I think, a majority?) of undocumented people are just people who overstay their visas. It was one of the stupidest parts of Trump 1.0s border wall that we made fun of them over.

Just, y’know, you don’t exactly get to decide preemptively who that’s going to be at the airport they arrive at before it happens (though not for lack of trying, those assholes).

Both my kids had jaundice and had to be under a blue light for a few days after birth. Not doing so doesn’t necessarily kill the kid, but it can cause brain damage.

I wonder if these parents are refusing this, it’s a bit unsettling so I bet they are, which is an upsetting thought. :/

Imagine, you’re a conservative PM, self described Iron Lady, meeting your ideological ally and he says something so insanely offensive and stupid, you change your whole worldview for the better.

I can dream, but we know she already knows whose company she’s in and she’s secretly fine with it as long as the world order shifts right.

I’ve seen it in reverse; people who saw the initial yassification of characters were impressed by the “rendering” but after a few days, have realized that perhaps it isn’t the creative intent to make everyone look like AI slop.

Plus even if the tech ends up being good, the demonstration (and subsequent response) is very much not. Shadows getting washed out, people’s arms disappearing, and other things, people looking it over realize it’s not even doing what it wants to do.

Maybe it’ll work out when the creators have control over it and can prevent it from undoing important stuff, like a character’s plot related scars or lighting effects used to show players where to go, but that’s all suspect until proven otherwise.

It’s indeed the time. I found Cachy was a good pivot, similar feel but seems to work better overall. Manjaro is still based on Arch after all, technically.
