Yes! It is maddening and often used to support biased interpretations.

I always take prospective players out for lunch. I talk about my style, the game, and just talk to them about what they like in a game. If I get a bad vibe, then I do not invite them. It has never failed.

The hardcore Christians I grew up around would never have touched D&D. I learned about D&D from this Christian kid who presented an 8th grade English paper about how it was evil, I had to try it. I grew up near Camp Lejeune so I gamed with a lot of Marines when I was younger and always have at...

It is much easier for them than actual research and reporting. Social media is the original AI slop.

I will wager 99% of the trolling accounts twitter are bots or bad actors working to further divide people. The other 1% are just trolls or ‘beards. I tend to game with a diverse group of people and that includes neuro-divergent and differing opinions. The only people I have real issues with...

I have a no politics rule for my gaming groups. I did not need it 20 years ago but it is required now. People used to be able to have constructive conversations and the shared geek culture was a solid binder. Now, if folks cannot be civil and tolerate to one another, then they can find another...

Bring back 22 episode seasons that cost less than 2 episodes of academy. The problem is that they spend 100 mil for 8 episodes with years between. I am tired of short seasons with no character building or time to get to know the setting.

He seems middle of the road to me.

Tachyon Pulse says they had some inkling and shot accordingly. He has been stating that it was going to be canceled all along. I think this means Kurtzman did not get renewed. I am ok with it. He has been very hit and miss since he stopped working with Orci.

I’d check your purchase history in the site to see if that data is available. I know that the new library dropdown is blank if you have no favorites listed and you have to view the entire library to see purchases. The cool thing is they seemed to fix the issue where a market icon appears next...

I’d raise a support ticket.

I read this thread and still have no idea what it is about other than the OP was feeding the trolls by giving them the time of day.

This. Corporate sees a new way to cut expenses and makes games cheaper slop.

We both know they want to end PC ownership and move us to virtual machines on the cloud. They get to control everything and you can pay extra per month for better graphics.

It looks like AI slop that will make every game look the same. In fact, say goodbye to art in game if they can just use the slop filter. The right image does not even do a good job of rendering the art intention behind the character.

Humans have the ability to grow and change. The algorithm looks at what you read and gives you more of it. If you read an article with a slant, it gives you more of that slant. It leads you down a rabbit hole reinforcing that slant until you can no longer recognize that a slant exists. You now...

Folks are free to disagree on definitions. Someone asked so I responded but I am not trying to argue a point. I see no benefit to modern social media platforms controlled by people who mine personal data and use it to manipulate.

Modern social media is a predatory arena that promotes surface, at best, interaction while really just a platform to push narcissistic tendencies. It is largely look at me and what I am doing in an effort to get likes etc. Message boards allow deeper, more human conversations. Social media...

I have stated multiple times that I disagree.

Hence, why I do not use social media. I have watched people become more and more radicalized over the last decade plus. This is because their feeds keep giving them things that will ‘engage’ them and keep them scrolling. It directly leads to more intolerance and hate. It is also scary when...
