Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?

A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.

Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.

I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’

This is MeanwhileOnGrad you’re writing in.

In 1861 Russia abolished serfdom.

In 1961 Gagarin reached space.

It’s just barely implausible a person born a serf could have seen their descendant explore space.

Putin’s power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.

Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch’s stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.

Protip: in small talk/office chitchat C is often functionally D.

I think by now Taiwan has been out of martial law for just about as long as they were under it.

To me there’s a difference between using assets that were generated by AI and a game using generative AI to create assets.

A person hired as an artist to make dialogue portraits could have shoveled some slop to meet a deadline. That’s a production issue.

But if the games are being integrated with a generative AI model to cover minor assets, that’s a fundamental development issue and I can cannot possibly see how that’s good for anything.

They don’t so much ‘change sex’ as they grow reproductive organs in response to conditions and blast sperm and/or eggs everywhere, sometimes both at the same time.

There’s a bit of a bad faith feedback loop where they started using it as a litmus test for users who are just trying to provoke instance bans, etc. At this point Rule 1 is pretty all encompassing to oblige those users. But it’s very easy to catch strays. In some of those communities it’s like those classroom lists of banned Gen Z words that get posted around.

Now, my comment’s intent was more jovial than that. I was noting it because of the volume of cars and multiple lanes juxtaposed nicely with the empty bus lane. It’s a long view down an 8-9 lane road. There’s not a bus to be seen on the horizon. A snapshot that provided unintended commentary.

Extremely triggering commentary, apparently, for which I do fully regret.

BUS ONLY

No busses.

For what it is worth and from experience, a can of El Pato in the rice cooker goes a long way to make rice accompany this ensemble well.

How does piefed handle when communities have the same name but different purposes? Like ‘conservative’ being a ‘satire’ community on one instance and a breitbart repost community on another?

The SPD used people like Erich Ludendorff to eliminate Communists. The SPD directly inherited the government from the Prussian King, maintained the interests of the German Empire, and killed Communist political leaders prior to the first election of the Weimar Republic.

The SPD government was the power structure that directly empowered, then acquiesced to multiple coup attempts by the monarchist anti-democratic right wing.

Now, the Russian Social Democrat Party, on the other hand, won their war. So it’s not necessarily the ‘Social Democrat’ part so much as the ‘Maintaining Imperial Power Structures’ part that the German SPD is faulted for.

The KPD also went on to try and do coalition with the Nazi right wing too, with likewise predictably terrible results.

You pretty much keep the poop machine alive for a year or so.

The advice for mom, or for you to communicate to mom, is that the anxiety is absolutely normal and not something to be afraid or ashamed of. They birthed a kid. If they formula-bottle-fed only from here out they’d still be nothing close to a failure. A fed baby is the ‘ideal’, nothing to do with the source or method.

I really hate that this is some of the toughest public language I have seen about Israel from an American official.

Absolute parody.
