Wipe my memory and let me play Titanfall 2 for the first time again.
If my memory isn’t getting wiped, then give me an opportunity to play Advance Wars 2 again. I know I can just emulate it, but it isn’t the same without the no backlight, AA powered Gameboy Advance
This is true, but I don’t like deleting comments because everyone can see that I left one and deleted it, and I get self-conscious about that
So instead of deleting the comment I just added on some bullshit about unskilled labor
Gonna blow Galileo’s mind with an equatorial telescope mount. Even more so when I attach a clock to it and make it automatically track the sky. I’m skilled enough to construct one, assuming I can communicate with other laborers to have the parts made
As far as general labor skills go though, I could make a living just about any time with agriculture. Unskilled labor is timeless
Google doesn’t tell you that killing yourself is a good idea and that you shouldn’t talk to anyone else about your suicidal ideation

Thank you for providing an example of the driving force behind this being the disinformation age

Yeah, they’ll absolutely ban VPNs and then literally every business that uses them will move out of the state. Do you think VPNs exist only for piracy and bypassing region restrictions??? Like literally every business uses them
Nothing in this bill would lead to the use of VPNs being banned. Any given website could hypothetically ban the use of VPNs to access it, but that’s not a ban on VPNs the way the headline makes it out to be.
how exactly do you determine a visitor to Pornhub is actually a VPN user from Wisconsin?
It’s impossible, which means that in order to be compliant, websites would have to simply stop serving Wisconsin, like they already have with several other US states. There is nothing preventing either you or Pornhub from sending whatever 1s and 0s you want to some random Mullvad server in Canada. They can’t even punish Mullvad for this, as the text of the bill explicitly “prohibits business entities from knowingly and intentionally publishing or distributing material harmful to minors on the Internet,” and any good VPN has no idea what material you’re accessing via their servers.
The mythical “they.” I can’t wait for Kansas lawmakers to see Wisconsin’s complete isolation from the rest of the world and think “this will be popular among our constituents”
Wow, I must be psychic or something
How can you tell if a photo you see predates generative AI? Anyone can slap a “2009-10-15” in the metadata
They’ll start saying shit like “Epstein wasn’t a pedophile, he was into the barely legal 15 year olds” or something like that
I can’t sing quietly. I can hit that note, but I don’t want to annoy the other people in the car
Nobody’s reading tfa. They aren’t banning VPNs, they’re banning websites that allow access to users using a VPN. Which is stupid, of course, but it isn’t going to get in the way of your piracy. 1337x does not care about Wisconsin state law.
Websites subject to this proposed law are left with this choice: either cease operation in Wisconsin, or block all VPN users, everywhere, just to avoid legal liability in the state. One state’s terrible law is attempting to break VPN access for the entire internet, and the unintended consequences of this provision could far outweigh any theoretical benefit.
If anything, they’re effectively going to build a Great Firewall around Wisconsin. Much easier to just not serve the approximately 10 users from that state than it is to implement the measures they’re demanding
Anyone who says photorealism and stylized art are mutually exclusive needs to play Clair Obscur, then delete their comment
Yup. Take that one body cam game. Making an object look realistic is a matter of slapping a high resolution texture on it. Making a game look realistic involves a lot of prop work and stage setting. Making a game look realistic and still be playable is insanely difficult. Pay attention to the size of the doors in the next “photorealistic” game you play, and laugh at the fools who say photorealism doesn’t require art direction
She is glowing like an angel over here
Taylor Momsen, for anyone who wants to, uh, research her
Everyone knows the best revolutions are ones where the powers that be are simply convinced to give up their power by facts and logic, like what happened with women’s suffrage, or civil rights, or gay rights. No guns or violence involved with those!
