Wow I had no idea these computer programs didn't execute instructions.

The email wasn't even too good to be true. The nasty phishing emails are the ones where the recipient is supposed to get a real email on the topic, but it's because of a publicly known event and outsiders could easily make up the content, so they just need to find a bunch of likely recipients.

I think the "you've been assigned the mandatory phishing training" emails should come from an external sender and contain a link to get into the extended training, and you should only get the short refresher by finding it through verified sources. Not only would this be a good placement test, it would test that official communications are actually hard to fake and possible to verify using the process in the training.

"In response to the embarrassing data breach that hit the news recently, we've assigned every employee at the company an online training session about phishing at this link. By sure to take it immediately, because it's a legal requirement for our settlement and delays could affect your employment." --Russian Hackers

stop anthropomorphizing. they do what the program says.

For young men in San Francisco, there's 10% more men than women. Where is the fascism? China has 7% more men than women, a 30 million surplus - if you're talking about urban areas with jobs, the numbers are far higher - and are people getting violent frustrations out in the street? India has 46 million more men than women - where's their WW2?

The theory may just be shit. Stop writing essays about it.

Instead of willful ignorance, it could just be that not having video games will bring back conditions leading to WW1 and WW2 was just a incredibly bad, bizarre take.

Anyway, even the women thing wasn't true for WW2. If you were a man who survived WW1 surely you were drowning in pussy.

But why AAA video games? Why not phone games? Indie games? Older games? Movies? Drugs? Something else?

It's not like there's no other entertainment options out there.

What a bizarre take. You're suggesting men need either easy dates or cheap AAA video games or WW1 and WW2 happen?

KOTOR 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 are very good.

KOTOR was a great game. Then EA bought them and they released Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Three of the best RPGs ever to my mind.

Hate to see Bioware go...but when Mass Effect 3 came out in 2012, and surely 90% of the employees have moved on, how much institutional knowledge is there to make the next game in the series? (Sorry Andromeda)

$56K to decompile Pokemon Heartgold, a 4 MB game for the Nintendo DS. I think we've still got a while to go before AI changes the landscape in a meaningful way.

No, it's totally clear what the title means and you are either being pedantic or are a a serious autist.

I've heard this from a few people and I don't get it. AnyPS5 isn't anywhere near working yet. It'll take years before AAA titles are running. I wouldn't be surprised if GTA6 is running by 2030, but not much sooner.

Gaming Computers are a dead end. Even before OpenAI became a household word they were generally far over $1500. And outside of being able to play games on them, they weren't really any better than a cheap mini PC.

There's only so many people willing to spend huge amounts on a game machine.

And the new PS5 Pro is $900. Fucking ridiculous, but not just XBox.
