That can’t be right, I feel like it’s much older than 2017?

First they came for the dating sims…

It’s a pretty subtle difference, but you can tell because of the different names and faces and occupations.

It’s similar to the pre-vis stage of movie special effects. You’re using basically anything available to create a facsimile of the final scene, to see if your framing and pacing work the way you intend to. In film, artists will often use action figures shot with their phone, because it doesn’t matter if it looks janky since it’s not a scene going in the movie to begin with; it’s a test to see if your scene works at all. Game development and filmmaking share a lot of overlap in workflows these days.

That’s because these ghouls don’t actually care how old you are, they just wanna know what you’re doing at all times.

I know Temu uses that slogan. Are they owned by the same people? Would make sense, if so.

I feel like I legitimately know my way around some parts of Japan thanks to Yakuza.

This endangers civilians.

You should put the toothpaste somewhere the cat can’t get into, like a drawer or medicine cabinet. Same with your toothbrush, and anything else in the bathroom that goes into your mouth. Airborne poop particles land on everything. You’ll be doing yourself two favors in one.

We’re a waffle-stomping household 'round these parts.

Friendica says “hello”.

the childlike whimsy that Misskey has.

This, so much. I really wish I could read Japanese, because the really active Misskey instances look genuinely fun to be on. It reminds me a lot of the OMGPOP days, which I miss dearly.

On Mbin, it shows as just a regular upvote. Emoji votes would also be a great change, too! I like the way Misskey-like instances use them.

I think votes should honestly be a bit more like old school SlashDot voting, where you had several different types of votes you could leave on a comment like Insightful, Funny, Helpful, etc. Have a few negative ones like Bad Faith Argument, Spam, Advertisement, etc. And also like old school /., you’d have a limited amount of votes you can give. Make them replenish once per day, or have users earn additional votes for receiving positive votes on their comments, or something along those lines.

That would prevent bombing an entire comment thread with downvotes, and provides much-needed context for any given comment’s score.

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year.

Maybe this was for the best, if that was their best idea to move forward with. I feel like people are getting tired of cookie-cutter live service games coming out every year.

This used to be my job. They’re not controlling the cars. They’re basically completing real-time CAPTCHAs, telling the car whether the cameras see a stop sign, a bicycle, temporary barriers, etc. If the car can’t identify an object that could possibly cross its path, it pulls over and stops until an operator can do a sanity-check on whatever the car’s confused by. They only need to be able to identify objects on the road, not know the rules of the road.

No. They just end the ride and send somebody from the local depot to drive the car back to the garage.

Source: I was on Waymo’s Fleet Response team for a year doing literally this job that is now outsourced overseas. While the tech exists for full remote steering, NHTSA regulations disallow it, and that’s one of the few agencies that Google actually has to abide by if they want to drive their cars on public roads.

Even with the recent struck child, Waymos are still light years ahead of human drivers in terms of safety. Honestly, the faster we can replace human drivers, the better. Almost all traffic collisions are caused by human error, remove that and the roads will be the safest they’ve been since horse-drawn carriages first entered the scene.

Discoverability is a major problem for PeerTube, as it is for pretty much every fedi platform. Even if there WAS content on PeerTube, it’s basically impossible to find.
