I mean, the game is good, but you can see the spike in steam charts right at the point it was announced for EVO. Like outside the initial release, the game averaged under 20 players. After that they spiked and then just slowly got back to averaging less than 20 players the last few months.

I like the game, but it’s not comparable to the other successful indie titles like UNIST or Skull Girls. Yeah it kills punch planet, but outside the first few months it released to may 2021, it did similar numbers.

It was mainly due to them embracing rollback net code and being part of EVOs line up during covid. Problem is that the big fighters revised their netcode since then and it’s been relegated.

The apps using GPT4 without regards to safety can be though. Example: replacing human with chatbot for suicide prevention.

I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don’t think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It’s usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.

The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN.

Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

using VPN … makes his income illegal

Yes, they fine wasn’t a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn’t use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he’s in trouble isn’t why he got punished is less honest.

If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as “Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network.” Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.

It wasn’t the money’s card, double win for Elon! Take that libz.

While the concept as capitalism didn’t exist, there are certainly many facets of the ancient economy that are facets of capitalism.

Most of the economy was privately held, just certain facets of modern capitalism like corporations didn’t exist.

So, while you are technically true, you know exactly what they are talking about. We can’t 100% relate, but issues like laborers getting a fair wage and the rich exploiting the poor were just as relevant then as now.

Numbers 5:11-31. Here’s a Wikipedia Article about it.

It starts at the local level. National 3rd party candidates are just spoilers used to split the vote enough for one side to win when they wouldn’t in a 1v1. Until the third party builds enough momentum in city->county->state elections they will never be viable nationwide.

Instead of focusing on the national, they need to pick a few places to focus on and grow viable candidates throughout the whole process. If they can flip one state to the third party, then we might start talking about their viability.

Why do you hate that it’s there? It doesn’t matter if it is or isn’t, but it seems to bug you.
