Irresponsible, careless, negligent. No planning leads to all of this. Ultimately unethical from this point of view

That is disheartening about Severance, I've been meaning to catch up on s2 after a phenomenal s1. But that you're totally on point about the padding. The last good series I saw that finished well was Mr Robot, getting closer to a decade ago now. No one knows how to write a well contained long running series anymore without stretching it with slop and content.

Ohhhh yeah, same exact deal with me. Read the series during a wild moment in my life decades ago. Still my favorite sci-fi series to date

When those commercials start playing at the gas pump I instinctively turn away out of sheer principal.

On the other hand, you also can't have an attachment to what you want the outcomes to be. You can't expect the same in return from everyone else. Until you let go of this transactional mindset, you will grow resentful when a lot of them start canceling on you, and believe me, at your 30s and above, with all these things that compete for our time, they will.

My favorite one was a fansite for the original NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy. Wonder if it's still up

Clearly. What's there to be awkward about? You should be enjoying the coffee you came there for

What happens when the AI perfects the art of writing? From one turing test goalpost to the next, fooling the human utterly each time until it's forever. Is there a ceiling to this?

Redbar is the only thing I listen to but unfortunately this has been a bad year for shows.

New comment by arkaic in "Why do some gamers invert their controls?"

arkaic — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 23:42:37 +0000

I used to invert them but realized two things: 1: anyone can adapt to any control scheme given enough time (which isn't much) 2: majority of games default to, and people play with, non inverted controls. If you don't see yourself playing flight sims constantl y, it's just easier for everyone involved to learn the noninverted controls so that no one has to constantly change control mappings

For getting the feel of the milky way, I think there's nothing that is better able to simulate it than a video game, ala Elite Dangerous. I loved to navigate its galaxy map. The size of the Milky Way, the numbers of stars and distances between them are of scale in there if I recall correctly.

I echo the authors sentiment except for one thing: mobile-native editing experience. This is where Google Keep shines for me personally. I need to also be able to modify my notes immediately and with an intuitive note taking interface.

On this note, is Ytube also the best transcriber of foreign languages or is there something better?

Game dev. I like the idea of programming the core loops, but cannot fathom getting into assets and art design as I do not have a single artistic bone in my body
