Ya, I feel all guilty if I don't post something every week. Like its a job. But its a pretty cool job.

I'm gonna add those comms to the link list.

!thrashmetal@lemmy.world and !heavymetal@lemmy.world;

Elder posted a Jack is Back notice on their FB a couple days ago.
Jack had heart surgery. And pneumonia. Hell of a time. They've got a shirtless pic of him. Big chest scar.
They are looking to reschedule canceled dates soon.

This article whitewashed the whole thing and accepted LG's angle, right up to reprinting their bullshit in full.
Such crap is entirely insufficient for a tech publication, "Tom's Hardware has not independently verified either the claims made by Gamers Nexus in its documentary or LG's counterclaims."

Why? Why did you publish and throw up your hands saying "we know nothing"?
Was there possibly some money involved? Don't want to piss off your advertisers?
I reviewed this Stephen Warwick's articles. He's a corpo shill.
Miserable excuse for journalism.

Jebus. This sounds like the AI psychosis spiral.
Like, I didn't think trump was smart enough to use AI. He can't read.
He must have found one that talks to him. And feeds everything he says to his rusky handlers.

Look this is funny and all, but the title isn't quite accurate.
"Canceled After No One Wanted to Pay $1000 to Go" would be accurate.
I think the full truth makes a more interesting headline than this partially true headline.

AI content. No sauce.

Go look at the mod's profile page. That's where I got that.
Honestly, I think its a bullshit statement, so I called him out.
And then you ate the onion.

GWAR is on tour with Mac Sabbath! Looks like they start in October. Got my ticket already.

ZDOOM is the DOOM we've all been playing for a really long time now.
Few even remember that the original release of DOOM was not full 3D. It was 2.5 dimensions. You couldn't look up and down or jump. In fact, that's where rocket-jumping came from, as it was the only way to go vertical.

ZDOOM was a backport of the z-axis code from Quake back into the DOOM engine. It enabled full 3D and dramatically enhanced the game. Carmack open-sourced DOOM code first, and then a couple years later Quake was open-sourced. The community did the rest.

I'm an old DOOMer. I'm gonna download this UZDOOM and give it a whirl.

Wait ... are you lamenting the demise of the Micro$oft phone?
Seriously? In public and all? What the hell is wrong with you?
For the record, I DO blame the companies.

Good men don't need rules?

That was really something. He barely got that out.

Judging from the comments, people are committed to their atkins thing.
I don't expect this to be well received.

Fiber. You need it. This 'ketogenic' thing is suicide.

I guess you are kidding, but sure. It's good to get the info out there. All ya gotta do is google it tho ...

Would you prefer Stanford, Harvard, Mayo Clinic, or NIH?

Welcome to lemmy. It's not perfect, but its entertaining.

I thought it was this.
Australia wages war on cane toads
Environmentalists have asked Australia's military to wage war on cane toads, which have spread across the country's north in near-plague proportions.
Ya. They lost.

The Australian military was also defeated by emus.
The Emu War is a spectacularly, intentionally boring and fully factual bit from a video game called Desert Bus VR.

Well, for me it was about 42 years, till I was bleeding out my ass all the time.
You know, some of us are hard to convince.
I'm cured, but I'll require regular colonoscopies for the rest of my life.

I'll see you at the butt doctor when it hits you too. Or ... you could act sensibly. Now.

Well in this game, there was the chair (see my other comment) that no human would sit in.
There are other tells that process that doesn't understand the continuity of solid objects created the game, not a person.

• You can walk through most of the walls and half of the scenery. Walls don't normally work like that.
• The explorer skeleton in the twisty maze room simply is not there. He should be sitting beside the key that's nearly fukin impossible to find because there's no skeleton next to it, despite the room description saying he's there.
• The paddle for the inflatable raft is in two pieces, the blade sits about a foot from the shaft it should be attached to.
• The diamond mill output is ... nothing. It's just a spot on the floor, uncomfortably far away and disconnected from the mill.
• The area where you have to deal with coal gas is just a complete fail, the AI did not understand and just made some crap.

.
There were two other questionable bits where I don't remember the original game, but it seems the AI flubbed. The 4 button dam controls were wonky: stop, start, bust the pipe, and what? And the cyclops room has a door you never get to open, no info about it.
All together, these seem like things no human would get wrong. Like, maybe a human would make a shitty chair, but they would almost certainly ensure that all the pieces fit together before they published the game.

I played Zork a lot back in the day. You know, before the dawn of time.
This adaptation has one thing going for it. It plays a LOT faster than the original text game.
So far, I've not been told I'm likely to be eaten by a Grue. (This happens when you turn out the light.)

Finished it. About 2 hours of playtime.
The whole game is absolute shit. I cannot recommend it. But I did have fun.
