    Has anyone ever had the miserable experience of sitting through a sporting event watching on t.v. with a bunch of people while that one guy has money riding on the game and suddenly he's sitting there like Jake LaMotta the whole time?

    It's not fun. Sports gamblers are among the least fun people to watch anything with. It's tense and kind of ugly and sucks the joy out of the room.

    So yeah let's bring that to every social space we possible can.

    This is the same reason I gave up fantasy football. For a while the NFL became about me caring that 6 players, 5 of them on teams I fucking hated, had good days. It was miserable and dumb so I stopped.

    I tend to disagree. It reeks of Luddism. "What about carriage drivers.. The Automobile will make them obsolete".. type stuff.

    Putting aside the widely reported power grid/environminetal consequences of what AI is up to, none of which are good, literally all AI is built upon theft of other people's work. It's absolute, complete, indefensible trash begging for legislative control.

  3. We really as a society need to push back hard on AI before the only job left for humans is "Dirt Farmer". The time to kick this stuff in the ass is now.

  4. The Mohg achievement percentage is now closing in on one of the achievements you get for doing a boss right before the end of the game, so it's fair to suggest that basically the number of players that actually finished the game and are going to be doing the DLC is going to be really close. Sounds about right to me. The people who go in deep on these games go to the bottom of the ocean, lol

  5. I think Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 certainly prove whatever needed to be proven that there's still a huge market for good single player content that isn't, you know, Ubisoft just releasing the same game for the 12th time or whatever. There's still a lof of legitimate criticism you can have of the current 5-ish year cycle to produce that kind of game, but any company selling themselves on the idea there simply isn't a market there is full of shit.

    I'm pretty much ready for DLC on my new character, though I still have to actually kill Mogh and Radagon but honestly that's like a session of play tonight or tomorrow and then I can jump in whenever.

  6. So yeah I haven't really played a Street Fighter game since the ancient times of Alpha 2 (Gen mains rise up), but 6 still feels good and a thing I can jump in and have fun. It's honestly the opposite of what Mortal Kombat have done where if you're not a lab monkey you're nothing. Not to say labbing in SF6 won't take you a long way but there's still a space in this game for people that just want to fire up matches and play intuitively/learn by doing. Feels like a mix of classic and new in a good way.

    Game is also stupid horny which I'm not complaining about. It also has a lot of weird menu shit to navigate because it's not a modern CAPCOM game without absolutely cursed UI. I don't have any of the overpriced DLC and unless you are super attached to one of those fighters I don't think you need to worry about it at all.
