I don’t know, I’m personally not really bothered with that sort of thing. Plots can rhyme and still feel similar even if the bears are different. To be honest I don’t even remember exactly how S1 ended

American here, I’m very excited! We have a little group that watches the finals live every year. We don’t really keep up with the process until the finals, but it’s a blast.

I don’t know how you don’t retcon Fallout when there are so many choices and endings in each game.

I’m saying intentional property damage is violence. I did not say defacing Teslas is terrorism. All terrorism involves violence. Not all violence is terrorism.

Yeah, the hype has died a little now, but over the past decade or so there was definitely a surge. Functional paradigms are definitely useful, but like a lot of things you can take it too far. I think one of my favorite criticisms was that the real world is mutable and has state so most programming languages will have to have that everywhere.

You can get a lot of the good from functional programming in non functional languages just by using immutable data types and pure functions.

The longer I look the funnier it gets.

I don’t want to play Uno regardless of how many people are watching lol.

Not doing what aboutism, just trying to explain what their point may have been. I’m a different person than brought it up, so just guessing. Yes, schools have real problems too.

Well that can’t be because I call my nonbinary wife Daddy!

It’s short for Michaelael.

CVE-2025-j - Data leak due to uninitialized variable for children of non-binary parents

Children referring to non-binary parents may use uninitialized variable in speech when referring to the parent. This can expose personal information when referring to the non-binary parent. All children who are users of the English language are potentially vulnerable. Children who already have a preferred title for their parent are unaffected. To mitigate this the parent and child should discuss what preferred title the child should use.

Due to the extreme widespread usage of the English language and the difficulty with patching, there is unlikely to be a comprehensive fix for this soon.

Tangential, but my wife is nonbinary and I still call them my wife. They’re okay with it. And I don’t mean to be lewd, but in bed they like to be called Daddy instead of Mommy. My point is that it’s probably a case by case thing without a universal and some nonbinary folks don’t mind some gendered terms. It might even be context based.

I think Astrobot is an example of what you’re talking about.

Also really good observation about FNAF. I’ve noticed the same. What’s interesting is that the longer the franchise go the more they push Purple Guy/Afton as the main antagonist and even make Freddy into a hero at times. It’s like this big unexpected success and they need to make it more acceptable but sort of painted themselves into a corner over time lol.

Flint and steel!

I was angry when Dragon Age 2 released and the main character was voiced because it made me feel like I couldn’t self insert. It’s such a foreign concept to me now.

Astrobot

I don’t want 500 people watching me play boardgames with a friend.

I can’t even enjoy normal streamers. Twitch is so boring. I only ever watch edited things streamers upload to YouTube.

The last comment is such an eye roller. If they don’t want to see comments from you then they should block you.
