Today in "American healthcare," I got a letter from my insurance provider informing me that my choice of primary care clinic was no longer a valid option, so they have already chosen a new one for me. It is not from the same provider network, nor is it physically closer to me than other options.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Just to add to this from another angle:
Not only are people using AI slop for the visual/audio assets of these game-based multimedia products we call video games (and by extension, tabletop games too), they also want to use AI to make the actual "game" part too. But it can't even *do* that!

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

okay but what about 8 stats
six playable bodyforms is probably enough for the base game in a fantasy elfgame ttrpg, right?

Every side-quest NPC in a nutshell.

Every side-quest NPC in a nutshell.
In Spider-Man (2000, N64) you fight Carnage in a room with a "sonic bubble" that you can throw him into for damage. If you get too far away from him, he jumps over the bubble to intercept you, but his toe touches it and he loses 1 pixel off his health bar. You can win by repeating this enough times.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

In the Generation 1 Pokemon games, Hypno was actually really good; arguably better than Alakazam for a playthrough team.
