@weaf @MoeBritannica Some of them seem to be wanting work for themselves though.
If an amateur VA will work for free without hassle, sure, do that. But even before AI I don't think there was a horde of actual, putting-in-the-effort VAs doing free work for mods like this.
-
@weaf @MoeBritannica That's not even how it would go.
"Hey Mr VA, I'm doing a mod for the game you were just in. Can I pay you $100 for a page worth of line reads, in the exact voice you used?"
"Sorry anon, I signed a contract with BethesEAnixSoft, can't do any non-approved additions."
"Ok guess I'll just AI it then."
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

@okuu @WashedOutGundamPilot My innovative efforts go into my personal projects. Work used to get the bare minimum, but after pressuring me to get the jab in 2021, it sometimes gets even less.
Every week there's another commentator talking about the slowdown in innovation, the stagnation in tangible improvements across a variety of fields. The only response now is "lol, lmao".

@WashedOutGundamPilot Ponzi runners are always thrilled when they discover a new market of suckers.
(I don't think crypto is inherently a Ponzi, but its "investors" treat it like one.)
-
@WashedOutGundamPilot Bottom right. He's been around long enough to understand technology sucks. He's one of those guys who does 8 hours of work in 1 hour, then goes AFK having hit the required productivity threshold.
If you can manage that guy into doing 2 hours of work, you'll get more out of him than any energy drink slamming tryhard.

@PvtProperty @DW2 It's their latest "solution" to the cheap housing problem. It's going to wreck a lot of places in the near future.
-
@weaf @Heil_Honkler It didn't say devices, it said media. Maybe they did basic precautions like taking phones, but didn't thoroughly search through personal kit so there's SD cards and thumb drives.

@mushroom_soup TIL we could have avoided 70 years of corrosive feminism if women had iPods in the 1950s.

@chainsaw_appreciator @deprecated_ii That wasn't a joke by the way, it was in a KF thread.
-
@chainsaw_appreciator @deprecated_ii Wait until you hit the part where her stat bonuses come from painting her nails.

@WashedOutGundamPilot "If this were a town square, a hundred years ago, my neighbor would no doubt get off his arse and help carry my bags"
If you were in a small town square 100 years ago, your neighbor would be yelling WHORE while you crossed.

@Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @sickburnbro There's 10 million economics bloggers, podcasts, and books all doing their version of "here's why GDP is a bad measure". It's one of the last bipartisan, across the spectrum things economists agree with.
Then everybody immediately fixates on GDP again when the number comes out and pretends it means something useful.
-
@graf I assume @josh already knows, maybe he could slide kf.cc in there when the time comes for a hard stress test.
-
@graf @sjw @josh I meant stress test in the technical sense (massive DDOS), but I suppose it's a moral stress test for your upstream too.

@monsterislandcolonizer @DEERBLOOD @ChristiJunior It doesn't even matter WHAT she is saying, that trope ruins even the Strong White Guy games. This exact never-shutting-up thing was a problem in the last Uncharted, and in God of War: Ragnarok.
The last is annoying because they got the balance right in the previous game, then someone cranked up the NEVER HAVE A MOMENT WITHOUT DIALOG dial to 11 for the sequel. Inevitably, you run out of things to say, and the sarcasm, Marvel-style quips, or meta commentary creeps in where it really shouldn't be.
Now you're telling me a New York woman never shutting up is a selling feature of the game? GTFO
-
@DEERBLOOD @ChristiJunior >features a witty protagonist who has no shortage of clever quips.
>Frey can be a bit sarcastic, and she has a habit of making cheesy comments.
>Trailers show that Frey is quite talkative and she is always making comments to herself, whether she is traveling or facing enemies.
Yeah no, fuck off. This is everything wrong with modern "never shut up" characters in both movies and games right now.

@Remi @sickburnbro Holy shit, the Vatican Bank was cut off from SWIFT? That's massive, I don't remember hearing about it.
-
@nobullyplz @WashedOutGundamPilot @Owl Valet trays are for gentlemen to dump pockets in a civilized manner.
Also it keeps your stuff neatly segregated from the missus' clutter on the dresser, because if you don't fight for your own spaces in the house you've already lost.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Are you sure this isn't an allegory for wives in general?
-
@koropokkur @marine @Platinum @Frondeur @RealRaul @elftummy @nugger You don't have to dip, slather, or stuff the rest of rhe pizza to make it good. You only have to take such desperate measures with the necessary evil surrounding the edible parts.
