Holy shit. What a psychopath. I cringe to think of what was in that syringe.

I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating by PKscope in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 187 points 2 months ago

The only problem I have with the whole "Don't be afraid to fail" thing, is that so much rides on the grades a student receives it makes it very difficult to not treat every assignment as a highly critical task which must be as close to perfect as possible. I totally agree with this professor and I believe he did the right thing by the students. The problem is the system itself.

Those who are going to outsource their work are likely to always outsource their work or take the path of least resistance. You can't moral lesson or embarrass that away, usually. But the rest of the class seems to have learned a valuable lesson, or at least learned how to cheat better.

Regardless, we need to stop having everything boil down to the grades. There's good reasons grades are important, but there are even more that are detrimental. I don't know the answer, I just know the system is broken. Maybe it's just capitalism that's broken.

I've got to be fucking high to read what I just read. I can't believe my eyes. "Communist! Communist! Communist!...... You know, we really have a lot of the same ideas..."

ICE Suddenly Loses Key Evidence One Day After Being Sued by PKscope in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 100 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sounds like a win by default for the plaintiffs, if I were the judge. Somehow, I doubt it will go that way or that easily, but in a sane or just world, any destruction of evidence, whether purposefully or by negligence (by not having the information backed up in duplicate), is a straight-up tacit admission of guilt.

Texas Rep. Gill files Articles of Impeachment against Judge James Boasberg by PKscope in c/politics@lemmy.world

The mental gymnastics these fucks do to hold one side accountable for things they wouldn't on their own side is some Biles level tumbling and flipping.

I couldn't imagine being this devoid of values.

FCC Votes to Nearly Double Rates for Prison Phone Calls by PKscope in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 88 points 3 months ago

The cruelty is the point. GTL made money hand over fist on inmate phone calls for YEARS. I'm talking $15 for the first 3 minutes type of shit.

Fuck this and fuck everyone who backed it.

I agree wholeheartedly, but this wasn't funny even without censorship.

Americans weigh in on government shutdown in latest poll — and the results show trouble for Trump by PKscope in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

39% blame conservatives.

33% blame democrats.

100% of me doesn't understand my fellow countryman anymore.

Coal Miners With Black Lung Say They Are ‘Cast Aside to Die’ Under Trump by PKscope in c/politics@lemmy.world

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 61 points 3 months ago

As the son of a 30-year coal miner, not reading the fine print is a prerequisite to mining. If they were worried about the finer details the majority of them wouldn't be there to begin with.

What Are Ya'll Playing? (lemmy.world)

Just thought I could get a discussion thread going. What is everyone playing lately?

I just finished playing Metal Gear Solid Delta, it was great! I decided to play through the series finally after years of watching video essays on the game, and I'm glad I did! I played Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Subsistence through emulation (4k HD for the win!) It was a great experience and I can see why the series is so highly venerated. It holds up remarkably well, and the long cut scenes were really enjoyable. I thought it would be annoying, but I actually found myself looking forward to them. Delta was like jumping forward in time 30 years, but still extremely fun. I'm glad they stayed so close to the source material so I could just play the new release instead of booting up Snake Eater through emulation.

Now if I could just play IV without a PS3, that would be awesome. I might have to try emulation on that, but from what I read, the experience isn't great.

Regardless, now I'm replaying Max Payne 3. This game IS SO FREAKING GOOD. I had forgotten how good it is. The noir narration is just amazing. The gameplay is tight as a snare drum. The art style and visuals are still amazing even when compared to modern games. Rockstar really knocked this game out of the park. I still haven't played Max Payne 1 or 2, and maybe I should. Also, I found out that one of the bands I've recently discovered and have been listening to like crazy, Health, did the score for Max Payne 3. The music is fantastic. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend giving it a go.

Other than those games, I plan to play through The Last of Us 1 for the first time soon. Not sure how "retro" it is, but I think it is borderline given the original release date and hardware. Looking forward to trying it for the first time. I've never had Sony consoles, so I've missed out on a ton of first-party Sony games over the years. Trying to make up for that by playing modern PC releases and through emulation.

So yeah, what do ya'll have going on right now? What do you recommend playing and why?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - One of the Most Amazing Gaming Soundtrack Experiences Ever (youtu.be)

This game absolutely blew me away in a number of ways, but above all, the score for this game has been stuck in my head for weeks since completing it.

I can't wait to see what comes next from this ultra-talented studio. Here are some of my favorite tracks from the game. I've used YouTube links rather than Spotify because there are a few songs which they didn't include on the soundtrack which deserve a listen. (Especially the Manor music, that shit slaps!) They said the reason for this is they have "something special planned" for these songs. No idea what that might be yet. Here's hoping for a full 11 minute performance of Une vie à t'aimer!

Here are some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
