In my opinion, it’s okay. It’s pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are… not pleasant.

I’m no expert but I think there are (or should be) exemptions in the case of crime

I think I fall into this category, but it’s complicated. How much I believe in the supernatural depends on how much the belief will benefit me in the moment. Most of the time, it only goes as far as making jokes, coping with grief, and explaining weird but mundane occurances. There are a few beliefs where I’m more into them, such as the idea of reincarnation, but I’m still aware that there’s no scientific evidence to support them and that “brains are weird” is the best explanation for them. In the end, it’s about what helps me feel better, and only me. When I mysteriously lose an object, sometimes it’s fun to say a ghost moved it. When I’m sad about the passing of a pet, imagining their spirit frolicking in pet heaven is comforting. I don’t really believe in these things with my whole heart. Sometimes it’s just nice to pretend.

This is heartbreaking. The fire was an act of arson! What hateful person would do such a thing?

A better comment would have been like “this reminds me of Technology Connections’ Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here’s a video [link]”

It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

I didn’t find it very hard to change how I downvoted comments. Of course what counts as contributing to a conversation is subjective, but I don’t think that should stop people from using it to decide whether to upvote or downvote. I downvote low effort comments, inflammatory comments, rude comments, and comments that spiral into tangents about unrelated topics. I upvote comments using my own judgement to encourage healthy discussions where people contribute differing ideas. I may not agree with every comment I upvote.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.

This is a good idea! Go nuts for a while, see how you feel.

I find her helpful in combat as long as you don’t pilot her. I like to give her a frost emitter on one arm and a monster horn on the other.

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they’re ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.

It’s wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

Here’s to more progress in the future! 🥂

Exactly this. I see a lot of people suggesting the fediverse be more centralized because they’re so used to centralized platforms.

Is it that hard to understand that a brain with a structural impairment will respond to a chemical differently than a brain without that structural impairment?

You’re right; I deserve the downvote.

Echoing what this person said! ^

That second tweet is a bit concerning, though. Let’s not forget that many ADHD meds are addicting to non-ADHD brains.

I’ve never used a BBQ- can anyone explain why scrubbing with steel wool isn’t a good alternative?

Not quite relevant to the article, but I just noticed the 2S is being put at the front of the acronym! I quite like it.
