  • Counterpoint: I anticipate this would cause an over-saturation of the indie film space with poorly made AI generated films and scripts from people attempting to capitalize on the new technology, and further creating a schism with the rest of the art community as generative AI continues to train on other artists artworks and films.

    I think it is a cool tool to be added to the repertoire of creatives. I think it may create some very interesting pieces, in time. I agree Hollywood needs some good competition. I don’t think AI is going to generate that kuch additional creativity, and if the number of super heroes movies is bad when it takes so much work, effort, time, and money to make a feature length film without AI, just wait until the next big fad takes off and see how much AI contributes to adding even more to the pile.



  • Dating can just be rough, especially if you have specific criteria for a partner. I’d say just keep looking and try to remember that you don’t need a partner. Sometimes it can suck being alone, but you need to learn to embrace those moments as well. Focus on being a happy you, and eventually you’ll meet someone. Get involved in activities; find a hobby and then find a group that engages in that hobby. Don’t rely entirely on online dating services, and if you are using them, don’t be afraid to be explicit and specific with what you are looking for. It will bring the match rate way, way down, but better that than wasting your own time with people that wouldn’t work out.




  • Mkst frustrating I had experienced first hand was when I worked at a small, family owned grocery store. There was a cooled bunker display of grated parmasean cheese that was packaged in-house. One day I found a half-melted Carvel ice cream cake on top of the cheese containers. The frozen Carvel bunker was literally immediately behind the cheese. Someone took an ice cream cake out, turned around, decides they didn’t want the cake, and placed it on a slightly-cooler-than-room-temperature display when they were equally close to putting it back where it came from…


  • Maybe it’s just the circles I find myself in, but I’ve never heard any big criticisms of the Horizon series, much less it being “unoriginal”. I agree that Horizon is better than BotW, but BotW is a fantastically fun game on an accessible mobile platform.

    Don’t have anything counter to your arguments, just that I’ve never heard anyone voice an opinion contrary to it.


  • But if the surgery can’t be pushed back from January, that’s not enough time for a pregnancy. That’s barely enough time to tell whether she is pregnant or not if they tried right now.

    So the decision isn’t timing or regret, it’s whether they value her potential well being over the ability to have natural born children. With surrogacy and adoption as options later, I know what my decision would be in that situation.

    Agreed. Undercover DEA agent busting up a drug ring (regardless of debate about what drugs should be legalized) is a bit different from a task force suppressing political opposition through imprisonment and "accidents ". Though I’m wondering if the gap with decrease over the next four years…



  • I’m not sure what you’re looking for in a “game like NMS”, but

    • Elite Dangerous
    • X4
    • Outer Worlds
    • Endless Space
    • Homeworld
    • Starfield
    • Star Citizen
    • Everspace

    Or “base”-building

    • Satisfactory
    • Astroneer
    • Terraforming Mars

    Not sure what you’re exactly looking for that NMS doesn’t scratch the itch of, but these are all games myself or friends have played that touch some of the same areas. Though, I understand the pain of “this game is so close to perfect for what I’m looking for, except for this one part that makes it unplayable to me”.
