Moved to Firefox some months ago, it's fine. Small adjustment but browsers generally offer high interchangeability

Tough and getting tougher, we're releasing a major system into live usage in 2 weeks and we're nowhere near ready

Yeah you're right, a divider. Or a 0.x multiplier I suppose.

And you're also right about the divide between highly skilled and not, but I think that's what we saw quite strongly in SAO. The side effect of serious consequences separated the players.

I don't think it's a successful design approach for a commercial game, most players do not play permadeath even if it's an common option.

Why is PCMag supporting more Twitter usage? It's a poison, a platform for mass manipulation.

The underlying threat of serious consequences changed player behaviour, psychologically.

Today gamers throw themselves into monsters with limited regard for consequences, which changes our perception of the encounters.

I wonder what would happen if number of deaths was a tracked stat that acted as a multiplier for player skills / powers.

I usually go into hard ignore mode. Actively go out of my way to avoid them.

If you show any friendliness then you can end up dealing with being told they have a boyfriend, being called a creep or other names, making them uncomfortable because they're obviously on the receiving end of unwanted attention regularly etc.

Just way easier and less stress to give a wide berth.

Thanks for the heads up.

A once off time rewind by 28 years.

We demand infinite growth. Why? Because shareholders want to buy shares and sell them later for more.

Do anything it takes to make that transaction happen, cut people's jobs en masse, whatever.

Forever.

Pump the rage into their veins, that's the ticket. Can't possibly go wrong, and even if it does it wasn't us.

OK, maybe it was us but it's not that bad. Ok, it's bad but who knew?

OK, we kinda knew, but that monetization tho!

He's broadcasting to all businesses and billionaires that anyone who strongly supports him gets their back rubbed right back.

He's not saying EVs are great, that we should support them because it's good policy, the right move for America etc.

Its simply quid pro quo.

He will transition into a despot and warmonger next, and then move into weapons. Lot of money to be made there.

Sounds like exactly the guy you want owning a huge societal discussion platform and developing brain interfaces.

I literally issued a vocal laugh.

This is cool functionality.

Yeah, fully agree. This is one of the reasons big tech is dangerous with AI, their sense of humanity and their instincts on what's right are way off.

Oozes superficiality. Say anything do anything for market share.

Not your kinda movie?

My student number from many years ago. My last 2 credit card numbers. Have some digits of pi memorized, useless to daily life.

Wow you're being down voted hard.

One of the problems with anonymous payments is that they can be used by foreigners with deep pockets, money laundering (which snowballs into much bigger problems), etc. I can understand why they'd push back so hard.

The problem with tracked payments is the loss of privacy and over control. Can understand why they'd push back so hard here too.

One of those issues with no good solutions in sight. Yet. Maybe. You basically have to pick your poison.

Just curious, are you looking for input/advice/comments?
