True but it also means someone died. And now 1.3 billion of that wealth was taken away from the inheritance they received.
And it’s long overdue but we have been waiting for this situation to finally resolve. And it resolved favourably.
Stop shitting on this please
So when is real id age verification starting for all of the AI crap openai has in it’s platforms? Let me just hold my breath on this
So the was this dnd inspired text based multi user game. Actually there are hundreds of clones and variations.
It was called circleMUD. The server version I played was called Riftsmud.
Now it was a long ass time ago and World of Warcraft didn’t exist at all yet.
When I started playing there was a level 50 cap. A few years later they revised the game and it became a level 100 cap.
Now we grinded. Oh my God did we grind.
But when you hit those power spikes it was so worth it. The grinding actually meant something because when you hit the level cap and maxed out your experience you could remort.
Meaning start over picking your class all over again and a keep a all the level up stat bonuses you got every 10 levels.
And also a base increase on your health/mana/stamina
The other thing though was that you also kept 15% of the skills from the class you maxed out.
Some of the classes(casters mainly) got skills or spells almost every level. Martial classes many boring levels.
However after a few times remorting you started to develop a unique way to play the game.
And while originally it was completely random what should you got, to we ended up getting to designate a few skills and you would get one of those 4 for sure, and if lucky more than one.
Some skills were unique to a class. Some were available at different levels between classes. A neat thing was if you had a keep at a higher level than another, if you ever went a class with a lower level you would lower the level on your keep, so keeping them at the lowest level first was awesome, or getting those unique skills first time round
Did my 21 time remort character hit 24 attacks in a really lucky roll when using the ranger skill flurry? Yes yes he did.
Did I find out that if you successfully execute the skill, but a teammate kills the enemy before your hits land the flurry is saved until your next round of attacks? I did
Did I also have a skill called rampage that attacked every mob in the room with your full compliment of attacks? Well I was a warrior and I did have that skill yes.
Did the game give me flurry of blows on every mob in a room? Yes yes it did.
Did I have a skill that could sacrifice gold at an altar to do more damage? I did go Paladin. Did I have a spell that increased my damage by 50% sure why not, keeps baby.
Did I have a skills that did more damage when I was low on life? Also yes.
Did I have sanctuary and also super sanctuary to cut my damage received by 25% and then 50% as well? Sure did.
I maaaaay have walked into a zone that had a high amount of enemies in the same room after buffing the ever loving hell out of myself while at 10% life with a stacked flurry and rampaged on over a dozen mobs.
Did I crash the server?
Yes yes I did.
Worth it!
Going down from 24" 2048x1152 to 27" 1920x1080 was an extremely noticeably change. Good god I loved that monitor things looked so crisp on it.
Have you been paying any attention? There’s home homegrown fascists here with a love for the us. Maybe we need to clean up our own shit before we just blame the us

It’s completely lost all value or meaning to end consumers.
Agreed I bought a fender telecaster (black cherry starburst, so sexy) and it had a prop 65 sticker on it. Absolutely rediculous and meaningless
Bold choice indeed
When my company used to move or make new branches, we would sign the wall if we were on the project.
I think my name is on 2 walls
Your substitute for tomatoes is different tomatoes? Bold choice
That’s not exactly accurate, it’s ignoring significantly that hardware in consoles is mostly static. The consistency and limitations on hardware undoubtedly is an important part of that equation
For us ludite lurkers who couldn’t figure it out from context alone, which one is the interpreted language? I got lost on that detail lol
I think it’s not about using it, not the mechanics of using it. No putting together required. And you have everything you need to start driving it the moment you get the keys.
I’m not a mechanic or a programmer so I’m also curious what the meant lol
Perfect being the enemy of good.
Man it’s gotta got to start somewhere. The full value of such a system will not be seen in our life times.
But if “anyone can be an artist” I’ll argue then that is actually the very best place to start this.
Young, old, decrepit, disadvantages, anyone can claim an artist UBI? Fucking great! That sounds like a feature not a bug
Work on your own terms, your own needs, within your own choices. Fucking great.
I’ve lived where the first thing they gets cut from every budget is the Arts.
That certainly hasn’t made the world a better place to live because “work” is always going to be a dog eat dog world where you don’t collaborate you compete. Your usefulness is only determined by how much value can be extracted from you without a care for your well being.
Arts are useless? Can’t make rent with an arts degree? Well guess what now everyone can.
I really don’t understand why you are so pissed about this and seemingly(my interpretation, I could be wrong) uninterested in looking at how this can be good the way it is.
Free to the user… Are you just trying to muddy this water?

Many many many popular historical artists were not popular in their own time. The if it’s be an artist or go work for a living, that’s still people paying for things in their communities for however long that is. It’s entirely worth it even if they just create content. It’s a fair place to start imho
Jesus was a Jew. He believed a lot of what is in the Torah. It wasn’t until about 600 years later the Bible was “finished”
