God patents for game mechanics are so fucking stupid and should be thrown out entirely

I’m sorry but uh, for what? The concept of collectible battle monsters?
Nintendo about to start suing plumbing companies for stealing the concept of Mario
I preordered Spider-Man 2 like 6 hours before release so I could pre-download it and play at midnight. Thats the only time I’ve preordered a digital game, and reviews were already out. Why you would preorder a digital game before preloading opens I really can’t fathom.
I’ll be honest, Pokemon is the one that gets me in that way. I will always buy buy a pokemon game, even if the reviews are bad. And I’ll play it all the way through even if I’m complaining the entire time.
I’m putting the blame on it being the thing from my childhood though, less than the gamerness. I’ll buy the pokemon game every time because even while I’m complaining about it my inner 8 year old is just going “Yay Pokémon!” the whole time, the same thing he’s said to every pokemon game for 20+ years
Even then though I still don’t consistently preorder Pokémon games. I’m against pre-orders on principle and I only do it for games I do have very high expectations for. I preordered Elden Ring and Spider-Man 2, I don’t think I’ve preordered anything else in like 5 years. Spider-Man I preordered 6 hours before release, so that I could play it at midnight. Elden Ring was dumb, I should’ve waited, good game though so I got lucky.
What’s the difference between a “true” hypersonic missile and this? Genuine question, I know nothing about missiles
Working at a fast food franchise and the owner coming in driving a $300,000+ car when I made $8.25. And then all he’d do was make my job more annoying and shout at people.
If back to the future was made today it 100% would be a Cybertruck, the Delorean occupied the same cultural space of “That weird looking piece of shit car”
Oh 100% agree, and personally it’s really annoying they took our term that I have to use for real things
The term "neural network" is primarily marketing term, as is "AI" itself.
I will say as a neuroscientist, it is a term we use, literally referring to the organization of neurons in the brain and how different areas connect to each other
I’m with you. Especially since 2020. I see lots of people with similar material conditions to me who have access to all the same information as me and largely are exposed unwillingly to the same shit as me. How am I the only one in the group that came to the conclusion “Getting covid 1000 times is bad” for example?
How are you like “idk maybe I should support Kamala Harris” when I know what your instagram feed looks like bc you have the same friends I have? Do you just care less about the dead children you keep seeing?
It’s honestly difficult to see people land where they are when given the same access to things as I am, and not be like “Damn, maybe I’m just smarter and have clearer morals than you.”
It’s been shocking recently to realize how cheap it actually is to buy off an American politician
Like with the influence AIPAC has, you’d think they’re throwing around tens of millions, even billions of dollars at candidates. But most of the time it’s like, they gave this house member 5 grand and now he’s Israel’s lapdog for life.
Like if I got a few friends together we could scrounge up enough money to buy off a politician apparently. It’s baffling.
Yeah World of Warcraft’s been doing that since 2004?
