Oh, I agree. For Google to act like a paragon of justice on this front, while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the actual harm they facilitate is a joke. I guess as long as it's not relevant to training their AI image recognition, it doesn't call for the same level of moderation.

I don't find soulslike games to be slow, but that may just be a result of me being used to the controls and therefore having a lot more agency of what my character does.

What I will offer as an actual rebuttal is this: the committal nature of slower movement and attacks really forces you to identify the right approach for a situation. Same reason why I prefer Greatsword/Hammer in older Monster Hunter games. You reach a point where your character looks like they're demolishing enemies in a relatively effortless manner, but only because the player understands exactly what needs to be done.

The initial challenge is pattern recognition and strategy, the long-term challenge is consistent execution.

I don't think so, and I also don't agree with AI moderation nuking someone's cloud backups...

But also I wouldn't find it surprising if it was marked as CSAM when the artist's cover art can look like this (NSFW). The material inside is probably much more explicit.

It certainly caters to a... specific audience.

EDIT: Link fixed. Thanks for mentioning.

Image is almost perfect, it just needs miles upon miles of mangled corpses behind the trolley.

Ah yes, my bedroom/bathroom syrup. As one does, obviously.

This! It was made specifically to limit functionality to match mechanical constraints. Nothing about QWERTY is inherently 'good' for English.

Additionally QWERTZ and AZERTY were adapted from QWERTY to perform the same role for other languages - to reduce jamming by slowing down common letter combinations or separating their input across two hands

I always wondered if those are structurally sound enough to be slung from a small rope.

I'm also not willing to risk my delicious maple syrup to find out.

People are impressed that there are no ANALs, but considering that all ALANs are around the border, the only conscious decisions past that point were the four letters in the center.

It's not really that impressive.

I'm finally about to have some time to lock in on some video games. One of the things I wanted to start on was the Lies of P DLC, Overture. After months of occasionally putting in 10-20 minutes, I have an NG file at Chapter 9, right when Overture becomes accessible.

Should I do anything particular in preparation for Overture? Should I try to push the game to the end before starting the DLC, for balancing's sake? For reference, I have already completed the base game and all of its endings in NG and NG+.

Lastly, should I hoard any upgrade materials? I'm worried that I'm going to get excited to play the DLC and everything is going to literally one shot me, no exaggeration. No spoilers or combat advice please, just feedback on the above questions! Thanks!

I typed "add or remove programs" which is verbatim the name of the shortcut, clicked enter, and it searched Bing for the phrase.

Windows search bar is useless.

Fellas, is it gay to value your loved ones and oppose violence?

Asking your favorite LLM to whisk up a comment to post is easier than thinking up a comment for yourself. However, it would be easier for you to simply not comment at all.

So, in the interest of ease and convenience, we ask you to not comment if all you have to say is an LLM regurgitation.

Thanks.

Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo

Yeah, I'm sure it was unprovoked by the car full of people following it for hours.
