Reminds me of that time I tried to play a Monster Hunter game, specifically MH3 on the Wii.

I was like “what the fuck are those controls? How am I supposed to hit those remotely efficiently?”… To which people answered with the ridiculous crime against ergonomy called “the Claw Grip”. That was the last straw and I decided the game wasn’t for me.

I am guessing they mean “progressive” as in “including technical progress”, not progressive social views. And, no it’s not either. It’s just marketing around the latest way to sell their image to advertisers.

They tried to make this a thing once :

If Disney did this, they’d probably just poison the birds so they die faster.

And they say physical media is dead!

Average weight for a starling is less than 100g. The whole thing with head and feathers and bones and whatever. You’d have to be very hungry to hunt that. And I suspect if you shoot at it you’d pulverize it completely.

Though cats are going to be a problem.

If you take control of enough birdhouses you can launch DDoS attacks.

Do you need five starlings to sing a pentagram?

Holy shit, I thought it would just be another story of the assistant answering a “Tell me how to die” request (and it did, and it’s terrible enough), but there’s even worse.

The part where the kid says he’d want to be stopped and the assistant tells him he should hide better to make sure nobody can.

UK gets EU nothing, UK has left EU.

And the way their politics have gone to shit with mass surveillance and powerful lobbying from anti-LGBT groups, I prefer them not being represented in EU anymore.

I absolutely don’t care what happens to 4chan, but UK starting to fine the internet for being available there and not complying with their bullshit is worrying.

I see where they’re coming from but seems a bit weird to embark your customers so they back your very specific demand to your employer.

I mean, sure, unionize, fight to make your job better or at least prevent it from getting shittier. But what kind of weight do people who use Kickstarter have in company policy? The only power they have is just to stop using it, and the employees obviously don’t want that. They even had to mention “pretty please don’t boycott Kickstarter” right here in the end.

Honestly, it’s not been terribly effective, and the ones who stir the most shit usually don’t do it for the right reasons.

Yeah, it’s also important to note that Grok is a reliable source of information about fuck all.
