See, but six months ago he believed before the end of the year Sammy would give everyone god in a machine, not that NVIDIA, Oracle, OpenAI etc would start coming up with numbers needed for operation that would make even the most "10 million isn't a lot of money" guy see how ridiculous the bubble is.

since I have nothing to play it with, I guess this will do.

There's one that is Reznor picking up some cues from Wendy Carlos and it's incredible.

I remember my parents waking me up to see Rosa Mota win the marathon in 1988, maybe around 4am or so. Live sports is one of the few things people can still enjoy together and that's why the "uuugh SPLORPSBALL can't you talk of something else???" people kinda get on my nerves.

Also love how some people who just wanted to talk about their hobbies had to take a course in tariffs, manufacturing chains, etc because some assholes were "tired of everything being political". Yeah buddy, now your big titty figurine nobody real was bothered by is $120 instead of $70, well played.

An arcade for ants. Not to be confused with antstream.

Since apparently "journalists" posting AI slop, getting called on it and not deleting because it's giving them numbers is now a thing, I think I'll just create a blocklist for that.

his team should flip him again, to see if it works.

what a wild thing to say for a guy in his mid 50s on TV with a Tigers jacket, cowboy hat, low-vis/shooting glasses and a molesterstache.

Oh, good, one of the reasons I didn't bother with Stampede was writing Milly out. Why would you do even think of doing that?

Crowe learned to play the violin for those scenes (with an expensive vintage one, not a Yamaha from the store downtown) and apparently was disappointed when they dubbed in the sound because he had gotten decent enough at it.

I swear, play your GTAs all you want, but Saints Row 3 was the true barometer of how dumb everything was about to become.

she left a message for a convention of the euro far-right some time ago.

by "some time" I mean 3 weeks ago.

Americans crushing hard on someone who last Summer was leaving messages of support for the Euro far right just because Trump (who she also supports) didn't win is just proof most of them are as reliable as Trump when it comes to foreign policy, you just want global fascism to be more polished.

Kinda looks like Haman if she was in GQuuuuuuuuuuuuuux.

No, but if they do it more often we might see numbers like in the early 90s again.

Mikami never having played AITD and getting the basic ideas of it and Resident Evil ending up as a King's Field II clone with zombies is also another great "what if".

AITD has to be one of the biggest "what ifs" of that era. It's pretty much Lovecraftian horror Resi and it sold well and is a respected title, but... it isn't Resi, is it? I recall some people just refused to believe a 1992 french game was pivotal in the development of it.

Twice I had to put my hand to stop someone from walking absent mindedly intro traffic when the light for crossing was still red, much as many drivers are complete idiots who do absurd moves, there's people who really aren't able to look at their phones and be aware of their surroundings at all.

attacking security personnel in Gundam should be called "Doing a Bidan", I don't think there should be any question over it.

The thing is that sports gamblers at this level will *never* be normal. If they were, their first move would be realising just what the fuck are they doing and give up gambling.

Trilogy is a proper landmark in the console side of the genre, Ressurection is bleh.

Wonder if this is related to the price, although you can get a PSOne with a modchip pretty cheaply on the last 20 years, it's not like a 360 game that allowed you to do that.

there's a good shot when there's the chance he'll say something like "many people are saying it was very unfair, she won't accomplish anything unless I help her"
