It was Biden's advisors immediately after being brought onto the Kamala campaign IIRC. The line between incompetence and sabotage is thin

Death Stranding is a game that grows on you real slowly. If the second is anything like the first, then that's the difference right there.

After seeing this I was curious so I took a chunk of fanfiction that I wrote myself, then had ChatGPT write a second chapter, fed both into it, and it was extremely inaccurate. It rated my chapter at 20% AI and the ChatGPT chapter at 40%, which is a bit of a correlation but both the false positive and false negative rates are way too high to use this tool for anything.

Spending a week unable to use the internet because all of my bandwidth is being used up by Steam is the best part of any new release.

Yeah that's wild. Minecraft's diamond sword is iconic and already appears in dozens of toys, why wouldn't it appear in this one too?

In the US, CP was only outlawed within living memory, 50ish years ago. It feels like something that's been illegal since cameras were invented but the notion of protecting children from sexual exploitation is distressingly recent.

Timberborn playthrough is going well.

Yes it's terrible in the funniest way. Most of the rest of this musical's soundtrack is terrible in the normal way.

Kurtzman is such a hack. The whole "oh you think your society is good well I'll have you know it's actually made possible by BAD PEOPLE doing BAD THINGS in the SHADOWS" is the kind of shit that a teenager would think is really smart. Coming up with ways for the Federation to uphold its principles in the face of challenges to them would actually be much smarter than defaulting to a vision of the CIA in space.

And it's totally fine to explore the idea that the Federation doesn't always live up to its ideals. That's the theme of a lot of episodes in every series. But New Trek has lost track of the fact that the Federation has ideals in the first place and its become pulp sci fi slop.
