It’s a bit more complicated than simply taking the worst experiences someone has ever had.

Every experience, every story from friends, every story in the news, heck even portrayals in fiction, contribute to someone’s perception of an event, object, person or even group.

Now place yourself in the position of your average woman. You hear rape stories on the news, probably known a few people that have been SA’d if it hasn’t happened to you personally, and you’ve almost certainly had a few close calls at least. Are you telling me you wouldn’t have your guard up?

Which is why the important lesson from the bear meme is that a whole lot of women are incredibly stupid.

Woah woah woah, hold the fuck on for two fucking seconds.

First of all, as I said before, this shit goes both ways. Men do this too.

Secondly, I did NOT say that using our perceptions is a bad way to make decisions. Multiple experienced incidents and multiple stories can create a perception of danger, and that perception may be wrong at times, but it can also be dead on at critical moments. It is a survival tactic that serves people well in general.

You’re using the bear analogy wrong. If the bear analogy was about statistics, they’d choose the human because statistically speaking, many, many more people are helpful than harmful. Especially compared to a dangerous wild animal.

People pick the bear because they themselves have been hurt too many times or have heard of people being hurt too many times. There is a perception that the bear is safer.

That can go both ways. And often people choosing the bear can be in a vulnerable state, which the likes of Andrew Tate preys on.

Choosing the bear is how one starts on either path. Then they get manipulated by hate spreaders and fraudsters.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

Many do. Why is why we have MGTOW and Andrew Tate

But it is true that these kinds of unintentionally racist differences in commentary are often done by white people. Not all white people but a large enough subsection of that population to become a general problem.

That’s what the comic is pointing out.

I mean personally I think it’s closer to those point and click adventure games, just shrunk down to be appropriate for a handheld of the day

You could build a mobile/watch app that communicates to a self hosted server when the device gets unlocked. if you don’t get that signal at least once over a week, trigger the switch.

I don’t see why we can’t take a look at it now. No one cares about GG anymore, and IGN has practically become the punching bag of the industry for their… interesting choices

Here’s the thing though, KIA was only created after the banwaves and mass-deletions that happened across all social media (even 4chan). KiA was created long after everything started kicking off.

Not really. It was initially called the Quinnspiracy, after Zoe Quinn, author of Depression Quest, an e-choose-your-own-adventure-book that got some coverage in videogame journals.

Shit blew up when her ex made massive accusations about sleeping with the journalists in question. Then some actor coined the term Gamergate, and their targets expanded to then-journalist Anita Sarkeesian (I think she works more as a DEI advisor now) and indie game developer Brianna Wu.

Make no mistake, the games journalism industry was not spotless, far from it. But the rampant misogyny in Gamergate cannot be ignored.

I call them id-style shooters myself, but there is a bit of word play I like in the term ‘boomer shooter’. On top of referencing the age of the audience when they first arrived (albeit incorrectly), it is also a reference to the fact that the optimal strategy for these games is simply to blow things the fuck up. There is very little tactical play beyond what weapons to use for a given situation, and these games really love their explosive barrels and rocket launchers.

Oh the EU will definitely call this anticompetitive. Especially when nVidia have a monopoly in the AI segment as is.

I understand the main thing was Yuzu was apparently offering builds that work with unreleased games (which how tf does that work)

Leaks and breaking release date is how it works.

So this looks like it’s based in Java code.

A public class means that any bit of Java code, including that injected by an attacker, can see and mess with the contents of that class.

A private class, in contrast, means that other bits of Java code are restricted to running the class’s predefined functions.

In theory it is supposed to help with the security of the data. In practice if an attacker gets to this point, you’ve got much bigger issues.

Just reading through the rust book (a week, maybe? I don’t remember how much time it took) will make you able to confidently write a simple CLI program.

You can do the same in Java or especially Python from zero much, much quicker.

Also you can learn to go beyond simple CLI programs in those languages much quicker, because you don’t have to worry about memory management.

The most manual way is what C does, which is requiring the programmer to check memory safety by themselves.😛

The difference is, Rust will throw a tantrum if you do things in an unsafe way. C/C++ won’t even check. It’ll just chug along.

Rust is really not that harder than Java or Python.

As someone who’s done all three, the fuck it isn’t.

If you are familiar with C/C++ best practices to any operational level, those things will translate over to Rust quite nicely. If not, that learning curve is going to be fucking ridiculous with all the new concepts you have to juggle that you just don’t with either Java or Python.

Totk can barely run on the Switch. It is pretty much up against the limits of what can be done on that hardware.

That performance was peak Eurovision though! I have never been so entertained by an entry before!
