Other than this nitpick, E33 is amazing; a work of art

Nah, the upgrades you get are all useful, the biggest problem is the UI for wading through them. It needs more options. Rather than just Offensive/Defensive/Support, I want filters like “base attack” “interacts with burning” “triggered by parrying” and so on.

This one. What the fuck, devs?

Missed opportunity for it to say

FWONT TWOWD FWIEND

I’m sure I could come up with so many, but these sprung to mind:

• The opera scene from FFVI
• Aerith and Sephiroth from FFVII
• The intro and ending of Transistor “Hey— Red— We’re not going to get away with this, are we?”
• Final showdown with Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengence
• Gustave and Lune argue about whether to continue the mission in Expedition 33. “When one falls, we continue. Not if, when!”

No they are fucking not, because LLMs are nondeterministic word generators. They are not self aware and at a glance at the paper, the reason they “sabotaged” the shutdown was they were misinterpreting the so-called “admonition” prompt, a problem that anyone who has used a GenAI coding assistant is all too familiar with. This is a pathetic attempt to fool people into thinking that these models are much more capable than they actually are, probably out of a motivation to keep the scam going a little longer.

Such a good scene. This is my vote too.

SASQUATCH IS SOMETHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

You using an AI assistant doesn’t train it. It won’t “learn” anything from your use of it.

For real, how short is the meme maker’s memory? We went truly off the rails during the first Trump admin.

Balatro. There’s just no motivation to keep playing. It’s just uninteresting. Love me some Slay the Spire, though.

the game wasn’t respecting my time

Hit the nail on the head. That’s why I stopped too. And I don’t even mind difficult games; Sekiro is an all-time favorite of mine. But Sekiro is compact, dense, no filler. Hollow Knight felt empty and sparse and traversal was a chore.

I heard elsewhere that anything less than powering down can leave data in memory that can be used to hack your device. So while the quintuple click is better than nothing, powering down is better.

The linked article doesn’t mention whether it can bypass the max attempt lockout or not. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the article you linked does nothing to support your claim.

That said, an alphanumeric password is certainly more secure than a PIN, no doubt.

What a minimizing way to say the only difference is the rate of fire

Socialism is social ownership of the means of production. This ain’t it. This is Turbo Capitalism.
