  • All the people going “yea it was good, but there are better games!” are missing the point. Sure there are better games, or better stories, but Expedition 33 is a work of art. The soundtrack alone is amazing I often play it in the background when I’m working. Not because I’m nostalgic for the game, but simply because it’s beautiful. And the graphics/backgrounds are incredibly well done, I can count on one hand the number of games that have made me stop and just… Sit for a while, taking in the view. Expedition 33 does that multiple times, even hours into the game in Act III, I’m still finding areas that make me stop and just go “Wow…”

    When looking at it as just a game, it’s still great. 9/10. Not the absolute best game or most engaging gameplay ever, but still very well done and a lot of fun. It’s everything else that propels it into 10/10.


  • Yea, I’d agree with 7th and 8th. 13-14 year olds are old enough to be relatively smart and know what things can hurt others, but young enough that most haven’t fully developed a sense of empathy. While most kids are relatively good, more than a handful will exhibit literal psychopathic tendencies that would get any adult labeled as highly dangerous or criminally insane. And they locked us all inside with them.

    I’m not exaggerating when I say those were the darkest days of my life. High school wasn’t much better, but holy shit middle school was definitely responsible for the majority of my childhood trauma at the hands of my peers.








  • I think Neelix gets the Jar Jar comparison because he’s an alien, but I believe there is a worse character on the show that no one ever talks about.

    Tom Paris. I don’t understand how this guy is not more disliked by the fanbase. He’s the kind of person that would sleep in a racecar bed. Neelix is annoying, but every single scene with Tom is just so fucking awkward. He is a 9 year old in a star fleet officer’s body. He’d be tolerable as a side character, but as a main character he’s just so grating.

    I’ll take Cooking with Neelix over Tom Paris pretending he’s Captain Proton.



  • So what?

    Seriously, so what?

    Chatbots have been around for ages, way longer than the current “AI” trend. It’s always been possible to get them to say some version of “kill yourself”.

    ChatGPT didn’t gaslight a guy into killing his mom. A mentally ill man killed his mom. If a fucking chatbot is the thing that triggered it, then anything could have. Same thing with the people killing themselves because a chatbot told them too. That’s just cold Darwinism. We didn’t suddenly ban Catcher in the Rye because some schizophrenic guy decided it was telling him to kill John Lennon; we recognized that there are simply crazy people in this world who could be set off by anything.

    The “safeguards” you want in place are not feasible because you want them to account for people with mental illness, or people so stupid that something else would have killed them first.

    You want the real story to this article? Dumbass dies from using drugs irresponsibly, parents blame anything they can except their son because they are too blinded by grief to recognize that their precious little junkie was a fucking idiot. ChatGPT did not force him to take drugs. ChatGPT did not supply him with drugs. That was all him. The only one to blame for his death is his dumbass self.



  • So, until recently, do you honestly believe that they just didn’t test female contraceptives? Or do you think they tested them on males instead? Or maybe that argument is a little bit nonsense in this case because while women as a whole are underrepresented in medical testing, the idea that they never, ever, tested on women (especially in the case of drugs exclusively made for women) is a little bit of a ridiculous concept.



  • Too fucking stupid to recognize that people can’t predict the future. Too fucking stubborn to accept that you’re wrong when people point out what broken, dumbass logic you’re trying to use. You’re fucking cooked mate. Maybe get some sleep or grab a snack before you keep trying for the “Dumbest Comment of the Month” award.


  • People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.
