    I never thought about it but appearently dying is often a painful process (the natural old age process).

    I kind of thought the heart stops in your sleep and then you go, but appearently no… Body doesn’t like dying so it fights and it’s painful and goes on for hours. Fuck.

    I didn’t want to know that so now I’m sharing it with you guys so you can also wish you didn’t just read that. Enjoy.

    I don’t think it will be as good as the first one. That game had a unique feeling. I spent many hours trying to beat the big storm and had tons of fun. Played it over and over again many times until I finally understood how to get through the storm.

    I hope this one is also difficult and rewarding, but I doubt it will be as good as the first one, now that we expect so much from it.











  • Think about this for a second. What if I am offended by the word “trumpet” because it reminds me of Trump? Shall we ban that word as well?

    You guys who are into banning words don’t seem to realize that there used it be book burnings by the Germans, because they felt what the books said was against their own beliefs. I rather not go down that route because someone is feeling sad about a word.

    If you ban retard, they will come up with another word. Don’t you realize that?

    It means you are not afraid. Because most people are really worried about someone telling them that they are being racist, insulting, or whatever they come up with. The definition of being these things is up to the person, not you. So you are a racist if you are being called a racist by someone, appearently. :)

    Maybe you can tell that im mostly laughing at the politically correct movement of today… :)

    To me, it’s no different from idiot and moron. I’ve been watching how the politically correct movement have been making people afraid to use retard. I’m sure they are coming for the words idiot and moron also at some point, and they are going to argue that there is no need to ever use words like that.

    Sure but the evaluations of the magnificent seven stocks makes no sense at all. Nvidia price to earnings is at 55, which means it will take 55 years before the current stock value matches its actual value.

    It’s common for tech companies to be valued higher than their worth because of future profit possibilities, but Im 100% confident AI won’t give the effects in extra sales that the market hopes for.

    Consumers actually try to avoid most the Ai crap. Only some of it is marginally useful. Maybe it will become more useful, or maybe not.





  • I don’t think we have much of a choice. Anyone who is not using these things are being left behind. I work in IT though so it’s from that perspective, but I use it all the time to get samples of code or help that usually works, but not always.

    Sometimes they are really bad though, and I hope this new model will help with that.

    Even if it costs more in the future, companies will pay for it. It’s just saving so much time day to day.
