I think we all know the "preservation" argument is bullshit. I don't know why we keep pretending. 99% of people copying games are not "preserving" them, they're playing games they didn't pay for.
Whether or not you think it's wrong to do so is another argument. But can we just start being honest with ourselves? You're not opening a museum, and you know it.

Don't pretend like you don't understand how telling somebody you want to shoot them is an unreasonable escalation.

While all those things are likely true, Bethesda also does have a pretty consistent track record of releasing the exact same game over and over, so it's not exactly an unreasonable prediction that they'll do it again.

I believe it's also the same type of glass that's used on a lot of electric stoves, so it can definitely withstand extreme heat shock.
Though, even knowing that, I'd still be (irrationally) afraid to use these, only because of some bad experiences with some "shatter-proof" Pyrex glassware in the past.

I'm just so glad that they did a great job with SH2. After playing The Medium, I had plenty of faith in them to make a great Silent Hill game, and they lived up to my expectations. I really hope Konami has the wisdom to keep Bloober around for a while; it'd be the best business decision they've made in over a decade.

Gee, I wonder why somebody is resistant to hearing you out after you told them you wanted to shoot them. You owe sag an apology, not excuses.

Honestly, I kinda hope he can tell. I'd love for there to be a paper trail of me accepting $100 from Elon and then voting for Harris. Hell, I'd put the money toward renting a highway billboard as close to the Tesla HQ as possible showing the receipts. Fuck him.

I used to work with a guy who had thrown away upwards of $10,000 at this game. The last time it came up, he told me he had spent over $8,000, and that was several years ago and he didn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. When I asked him what he got for that money, he showed me the one ship he has. He had one ship. The rest were still in development and wouldn't even be released for years.
He spent more than some cars cost, for a handful of digital space ships, 90% of which aren't even finished. I have no idea how to reason with people who do this sort of thing.

It was posted to a community focused on the game, which has been out for many years. The event is well-known for those who have played the game a bunch, so the context is kind of already assumed by the intended audience. It's not as if OP posted it to a random comics community without any explanation, it was presented to a group of people who are already familiar with the story.

I'd honestly love to see them try a different take on Diablo. It won't happen since Blizzard is all about live service games these days, but I'd love to see a single-player, traditional RPG version of Diablo. Imagine if Larian got the rights to make a Diablo game.

This 16 year old video randomly showed up in my recommendations tonight. This is one of the coolest juggling routines I've ever seen.
Hey guys! I've just recently gotten into collecting pocket knives, and I wanna make sure I'm taking proper care of them. My last two purchases have been karambits, both with fairly steep recurved blades, whose edges I'd like to be able to maintain. I know that normal sharpening stones aren't going to allow me enough contact with the blade to actually put an edge on it, so I've picked up a Smith's DRET sharpener and have been practicing on an old dull knife with a stiletto blade, just to try to get some basics down. I'm getting better with it, but I'm struggling to get an even, consistent edge. Even without any special optics, I can see with my own eyes that I've got wildly uneven angles. Granted, I'm practicing with a very low-quality knife that was already in pretty rough shape. I've managed to get the edge from "literally unable to break the skin with 20 pounds of pressure and aggressive sawing motions on my forearm" to "can cut through paper with about half of the blade before bunching up", though it's come at a cost of scratching the absolute hell out of the rest of the blade (which is just me being sloppy). I figure that once I'm able to get competent enough with sharpening a normal blade shape that I'll move on to testing with a donor karambit. I picked up a super cheap, mall-ninja-ass karambit on Amazon because the reviews were all poor and said that the knife arrived completely dull, so I figured this would be perfect to practice sharpening. Unfortunately, it arrived with a surprisingly sharp edge, so I'm gonna have to abuse this knife for a bit before I can even practice anything on it. Just curious what sort of tools y'all recommend for dealing with recurved blades, or any techniques I could try to incorporate into my practicing. Thanks!
Hey guys! This might be a bit of a longshot since I don't think this knife is *too* popular, so I don't expect a lot of people to have experience with it. I recently purchased a Reate Exo-K, and I absolutely love it. It's in no way a practical or useful knife, it's dangerous to the user and its own self, and it's illegal to carry in a lot of places. But it's fun, and that's what matters to me. I often will idly flip the knife open and closed while working, and from the beginning there was always a little amount of rattle when deploying it. After having it for about a week or so, it feels like all the pivot points have gotten a bit looser, which I think is to be expected after breaking it in a little. But now it's beginning to feel like there's more play going side-to-side with the arm, causing more rattle than before. While held in the normal reverse grip, it tightens right back up and there's virtually no play, so I'm not worried about it falling apart on me while I'm actually trying to cut something with it, but I'm worried that the arm may come apart somehow *during deployment*. Since a flipping motion is required to open this, I worry that I may end up launching a razor sharp blade in a random direction at considerable speed, which... isn't good. For what it's worth, [this is how much space I'm getting between the arm and the handle when in the open position.](https://i.imgur.com/tMI7D3K.jpeg) That much space exists while the lock is engaged. I'm not sure if this is typical for the Exo-K, or if this is an excessive gap. Compared to the trainer, there's a significantly larger gap and louder rattle. But they're made from very different materials, so I won't know how much I can reliably compare the two. Just curious to know if anyone else has had this happen with theirs and is normal, or if I should reach out to Reate for a warranty claim.
> > > Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize said advancement.It originated in a 2010 post at discussion board LessWrong, a technical forum focused on analytical rational enquiry. The thought experiment's name derives from the poster of the article (Roko) and the basilisk, a mythical creature capable of destroying enemies with its stare. > > > > > While the theory was initially dismissed as nothing but conjecture or speculation by many LessWrong users, LessWrong co-founder Eliezer Yudkowsky reported users who panicked upon reading the theory, due to its stipulation that knowing about the theory and its basilisk made one vulnerable to the basilisk itself. This led to discussion of the basilisk on the site being banned for five years. However, these reports were later dismissed as being exaggerations or inconsequential, and the theory itself was dismissed as nonsense, including by Yudkowsky himself. Even after the post's discreditation, it is still used as an example of principles such as Bayesian probability and implicit religion. It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal's wager. > > Found out about this after stumbling upon [this Kyle Hill video on the subject.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut-zGHLAVLI) It reminds me a little bit of ["The Game"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)).

> > > Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at an individual known as Techlead once again. This creator has had an incredibly controversial history but it's in the last few days he's decided to take advantage of the YouTube copyright system to gain information on his critics and unlawfully remove their content. YouTube needs to step in. Thanks for watching! > > Added some clarification to the original title as it's a bit clickbaity. tl;dw: A YouTuber by the name of "TechLead" has openly admitted to using the DMCA process to file illegitimate takedown requests against people who use any footage of him while making exposé videos. The way it works is by filing a DMCA request against the video, which then forces the creator to respond to the complaint or have the video permanently deleted. Because DMCA complaints are a legal process, responding to the complaint entails supplying a lot of your personal information, which TechLead has been accused of leaking in the past. This forces creators to either expose their personal information to a person who has already had credible doxxing allegations made against them, or have their video removed and their channel permanently stricken. This process is not only a violation of YouTube's ToS, but also several US laws; depending on what he does with the information he gets from the complaint response, it may fall under doxxing laws, but also knowingly submitting a frivolous DMCA request is considered perjury.
