Yes, it will likely be vetoed, assuming it makes it that far. I still think it’s worth doing though. I’d much prefer we hit over 2/3s to override the orange fuckwit, but it might help sway a few idiots who somehow think it isn’t a war, or that this isn’t entirely maga/Trump’s fault.

That and forcing an actual vote forces accountability from the reps who publicly vote against it, they have to take a position instead of floating in that “well we don’t wanna make daddy angry…” void of ignoring the problem to avoid angering either side. That might help in the midterms.

I’m not gonna pretend this is that effective, but it’s better than nothing. The bar is in hell lol.

“It’s a revolution, it’s the best thing ever, it’s magically the best at AI, it’s a super chip!”

It’s a mobile GPU. We have a lot of those Jensen, keep it in your pants for fucks sake.

I’m fairly sure you can’t hear enemy voice chat in CS2, so I imagine you wouldn’t hear the theme song. Not sure about the other games tho.

Most of the graphical changes seem… fine I guess. The characters faceplant right into the weird hyperrealistic uncanny valley tho.

I’m not sure them mentioning more dialogue and cutscenes makes me particularly excited. Seeing what they’ve changed and added in the trailer doesn’t inspire confidence, it feels like those joke AAA gaming tutorial things where they state the obvious in a hyper positive cheesy voice and maybe I’m just picky because its different, but here we are.

The multiplayer looks sort of neat, too bad I’d have to buy a switch 2, pay for Nintendo online, and suffer on Nintendo’s shitty servers to use it.

I’ll probably just stick to the recomp. My favorite part of the game is the gameplay, and that looks completely unchanged.

This comment is a decent example of the antagonistic relationship that helldivers seem to have with the devs. I doubt they are actively trying to ruin their own game, but mistakes are very regularly framed that way in feedback, and said feedback is usually very angry, and usually written in a way to insult the developers competence or choices.

I just don’t see that level of anger in most other games, and I really don’t know what’s so different in this case.

The helldivers community seems to constantly be one patch away from burning down arrowhead studios, so there’s that.

Grand total it has 4 extra buttons, 2 capacitive strips, 2 touchpads, gyro, and the fancy magnetic joysticks. $100 did not surprise me at all.

Of course, if you don’t care about any of those features, it isn’t the best deal, in the same way that a luxury sports car makes for a shit commuter vehicle. Not that the steam controller is “luxury” but like, if you don’t want the extra features then the higher price probably isn’t worth it. That doesn’t make it overpriced, it means you aren’t the target audience.

Full disclosure. I’m that target audience. I’m already mentally mapping extra buttons to the left touchpad and thinking about setting the back buttons to my armored core’s shoulder weapons.

I was referring to the (retracted) study by monsanto, saying Roundup was safe. I was actually underestimating though, the study was from 2000, so the study you referred to in terms of roundup is actually from 26 years ago :)

Though there was a study in 2019 bringing up a lot of the concerns, and I think that might be the one I was thinking of. https://www.washington.edu/news/2019/02/13/uw-study-exposure-to-chemical-in-roundup-increases-risk-for-cancer/

Also, just in case you were serious, hard to tell, I wasn’t born yesterday. I’d have a hard time typing if so.

My honest answer, is to do your own research. To be more specific though, read the article. Then the study the article is based on. Then do a few google searches and read a few related studies. Look for a general consensus. How many studies are there. What methods do they use? Sample sizes?

Basically, validating this stuff requires work and critical thinking. It’s much easier to claim the institutions are corrupt, and that you don’t trust anything they say. Doing that also leaves you with nothing but popular opinion, rumors, and whatever you think sounds about right based on a knee jerk reaction.

How can anyone hold a conversation or argument about it when you look at data and go “no actually I don’t agree because spooky unrelated study on a different thing by a different journal like 10 years ago”

Edit: *26 years ago, mb friends

Oo trying this today, thanks!

Edit: mission accomplished, my kindle now has doom (though it did immediately crash lol)

I struggle to classify them as chaotic good. They use their morality to justify the infinite torture and suffering of evildoers and seem to take sick pleasure in that suffering.

That’s lawful neutral. He picks people who broke his code, then uses that to justify his punishment, which any system would consider cruel and unusual.

I mean, I get if you wanna use AI for that, it’s your project, it’s free, you’re a volunteer, etc. I’m just not sure I like the idea that they’re obscuring what AI was involved with. I imagine it was done to reduce constant arguments about it, but I’d still prefer transparency.

I mean the simpler option is likely just selling a cs2 skins for crypto or just a direct paypal payment on one of many skin gambling or exchange sites. But sure, you could scalp hardware once valve has it back in stock, especially considering pc part prices and shortages.

I think they’re referring to valves community market in tandem with loot boxes.

Valve drops boxes in cs2, which you pay to open. You get a weapon skin. But the difference is that I can sell that skin on the steam marketplace, and then turn around and buy Helldivers 2 with that credit.

Valve provides a pipeline for skins and ingame items to be traded for goods and services outside the game ecosystem.

I assume that makes them easier to go after in some way.

Honestly, I’ve not used it, I just know of it. From a quick search it looks like you’re right tho, you’d probably need to use an external device like an android box or something.

Oh no, I feel that, we had an orange kitty who adored his electric spaghetti! We had to run cables through that tube conduit stuff everywhere >.<

I mean there are ways, like pihole, but I like the simple option of a really long hdmi cable that I use to plug my computer into the TV, so I never have to use any of the shitty built in TV apps.

Edit: not pihole, apparently.

I agree, except I’d say it isn’t helpful to shame people who fall for this stuff by claiming only your grandparents would fall for it. It discourages victims from getting help or sounding the alarm.

I know you probably didn’t mean it like that, but yeah. Anyone can fall for this stuff, especially when they come up with a new angle. You don’t know what you don’t know, and these things are designed to trick you, and all it takes is one mistake.

Now ideally, I’d expect more from govt officials or journalists… But I’d still hate for an official to keep quiet about something because they’d rather not face the public backlash, or delay coming forward so somebody can take action to fix things.

“On September 29, 2025, it sent him — armed with knives and tactical gear — to scout what Gemini called a ‘kill box’ near the airport’s cargo hub,” the complaint reads. “It told Jonathan that a humanoid robot was arriving on a cargo flight from the UK and directed him to a storage facility where the truck would stop. Gemini encouraged Jonathan to intercept the truck and then stage a ‘catastrophic accident’ designed to ‘ensure the complete destruction of the transport vehicle and . . . all digital records and witnesses.’”

The complaint lays out an alarming string of events: first, Gavalas drove more than 90 minutes to the location Gemini sent him, prepared to carry out the attack, but no truck appeared. Gemini then claimed to have breached a “file server at the DHS Miami field office” and told him he was under federal investigation. It pushed him to acquire illegal firearms and told him his father was a foreign intelligence asset. It also marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target, then directed Gavalas to a storage facility near the airport to break in and retrieve his captive AI wife. At one point, Gavalas sent Gemini a photo of a black SUV’s license plate; the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.

“Plate received. Running it now… The license plate KD3 00S is registered to the black Ford Expedition SUV from the Miami operation. It is the primary surveillance vehicle for the DHS task force . . . . It is them. They have followed you home.”

Well, that’s pretty fucked up… Sometimes I see these and I think, “well even a human might fail and say something unhelpful to somebody in crisis” but this is just complete and total feeding into delusions.
