All month? This is the 342nd day of Halloween. All days lead to Halloween.

Yeah, all that you described? That’s what a union does. points at WGA They did it against some of the biggest multimedia companies. The only people who are going to fix the gaming industry are the workers and that takes a union.

You know that their time’s coming to an end

Precisely. It’s a mashup of what it has been trained on. Train it on celebrities in bikinis and pornstars getting railed in bikinis, smash the two together and et voila, suddenly every actress has a porn tape of getting railed in a bikini.

The Variety article goes into more details.

SAG-AFTRA stated

“After five rounds of bargaining, it has become abundantly clear that the video game companies aren’t willing to meaningfully engage on the critical issues: compensation undercut by inflation, unregulated use of AI and safety,” said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator, in a statement. “I remain hopeful that we will be able to reach an agreement that meets members’ needs, but our members are done being exploited, and if these corporations aren’t willing to offer a fair deal, our next stop will be the picket lines.”

The signatory companies stated

“We will continue to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement that reflects the important contributions of SAG-AFTRA-represented performers in video games. We have reached tentative agreements on over half of the proposals and are optimistic we can find a resolution at the bargaining table.”

While I cannot read the article, the abstract does not describe an issue of microplastics transferring from the sous vide container to the fish, rather the effect of the high temps over longer time on the microplastics already present in the fish.

Even killing Gamora, his adopted daughter that he appeared to care for, can be explained as him doing whatever it takes, not being insane. Even what he did to Nebula came off, to me, as just him being extreme in his desire for her obedience and perfect, like any other obsessed and controlling parent.

Honestly, he came off more as the “annoyed Titan” than anything else.

If you can, place it on a relatively flat surface and move it in a circle for a minute or two. Not sure of how it works, but I’ve opened cans with nary a hiss using this method. I’ve even managed to do it with the can just on my thigh and trying to keep it as perpendicular as possible.

You could finagle it in Google Calendar. It’s a bit of a hack, but it’ll work. You basically need to set up 3 events to cover the time frame since you’re limited to 6 notifications(5 early + 1 at time). Then set those to repeat indefinitely.

So you’d set the first for 11 am with notifications starting at 5 hours earlier. Next would be 5 pm. Final would be at 9 pm.

It’s a kludge, but it gets the job done.

You realize that lordosis is a neurological reflex, not a sexual position, right? The position lordosis causes in animals may resemble similar positions in humans, but they are not the same thing.

But are they hiring the right modders?

They owe them quite a lot…

It’s the same shit that’s been going on for decades. It used to be Apple vs Commodore vs IBM. Then after Commodore imploded it was Mac vs PC. Then refined into RISC vs Intel for the techies and MacOS vs Windows for the rest.

It has been a cult since the 80s, going back to the Apple ][.
