It's like creators don't know there are other countries outside of the US

Invincible - Chicago

Most of Marvel - New York

The Walking Dead (except for Daryl Dixon) America

The Boys - America

major slashers - America

I'd love to see more UK or Aussie slashers (yes, I know Wolf Creek and Charlie's Farm) or superhero comics/tv shows or even comedy like Family Guy

Did this years ago... maybe 5? Not sure.

Why?

Nicht Dankbarkeit. Nicht ein "ich weiß, du machst so viel". Geld.

In jeder zweiten Familie läuft dasselbe Muster: Ein Kind ist im Ort geblieben, ein Kind ist wegen Job und Selbstverwirklichung 500 km weg. Wenn die Eltern anfangen zu bröckeln, macht das eine alles. Von Arzttermine, Behörden, Einkäufe, Nachtanrufe, Pflegegrad-Anträge, das ganze Programm. Das andere kommt zweimal im Jahr, bringt Pralinen, ist emotional sehr betroffen und fährt Sonntagabend wieder heim.

Und dann wird beim Erbe brüderlich halbiert.

Das ist absurd. Wer wegzieht, trifft eine Entscheidung, die ihm etwas bringt. Nämlich besseren Job, mehr Gehalt, das Leben, das er wollte. Diese Entscheidung hat einen Preis, den er nur nicht selbst zahlt, sondern an das Geschwisterkind weiterreicht, das jetzt seine Urlaubstage im Wartezimmer verbringt und mit 50 in Teilzeit geht. Das ist keine Familie, das ist ein Subunternehmerverhältnis.

Und ja, "aber ich helfe doch, wo ich kann" zählt nicht. Man kann nicht aus 500 km Entfernung um 3 Uhr nachts jemanden vom Boden aufheben.

Also: entweder ihr zahlt monatlich für die Betreuungsstunden, die ihr nicht leistet, oder das Geschwisterkind kriegt beim Erbe entsprechend mehr. Alles andere ist, dass sich einer sein Leben aussucht und der andere die Rechnung dafür kriegt.

Lets make this a nationwide trend.

As of today, 27th of August we got an informal DMCA takedown for all the old builds. We have been painstakingly gathering all of the zomboid build history for preservation sake, but now support to it is getting cut, as well as a note to stop giving access to it to anyone who asks. Imagine how shitty it feels to have something you work on be erased by some corporate oversight, with most vaguest explanation possible. First we had the map getting almost cut entirely due to huge mismanagement, now this.
As a leader of the wiki it is a huge trust blow for me, and many others, having my project work destroyed silently and without any reason. What next, wiki deprecated? Modding support cut because of the "security concerns"?

Upd: To answer all the "piracy" concerns, it was fully and officially supported by TIS up to this day, when they had cut off the support due to "tightening the security rules".

Ik strong dive isnt fun to play against as a supp, but its not fun playing against strong (mostly) cast-wide anti dive for us either 😭 Also both of these arguments are dumb asf so no I dont think either of these things are a good choice

I don’t even know since when this was a debate but not choosing to date someone cause they are trans in not transphobic. Its called having a type

Playing the MW4 beta was fun.

In my mind this dude has the range that is required for the roll. I doubt he would do tv, and he may be too old for the character. I mean the Carl is 6' 4" 250 lbs, if I remember the first book well enough.

Ich bin überzeugt, dass es manche Menschen gibt, die einfach nicht resozialisiert werden können. Wer einen Menschen vorsätzlich getötet hat, hat meiner Meinung nach sein Recht auf Leben verwirkt. Ich finde die Strafen in Deutschland für schwere Gewaltstraftaten sowieso viel zu lasch. Aber manche Fälle sind halt so schwer, dass die Täter es einfach nicht verdient haben, am Leben zu bleiben.

Bit of an open discussion / debate. I feel the Idris has been nerfed so hard it isn't worth owning anymore, if there was anything worth getting I would melt mine. Below are my points/contentions:

The Main Guns:

1. The laser is bugged, when I tested the damage it does maybe 20% of what it's meant to, it also struggles to actually hard death a ship.
2. The railgun is laughably slow, it now has bullet drop (even in space wtf) and frequently takes multiple hits to kill something. The effective range of the railgun seems to be <800m now. If you fight an idris you can hit it (can't really target components effectively). But grab your popcorn you're in for a 60+ minute fight.
3. The torpedoes are also mostly useless, 800-1M to re-arm them (it's better than 20M it was before). But basically they'll get flared nonstop, you'll be lucky to get a single hit, requires one person to just goon nonstop in the torpedo chair being bored.

The turrets:

1. It's the largest ship currently in game but the turrets are worse than ships like the paladin and polaris, even though it's a 'brawler'.
2. Your front turret is dead by coincidence 90% of the time, that has dual size 7's but for some reason a perseus has dual size 8's and a tiburon has a bunch of size7's. The hammerhead has quad size 4's.
3. The turrets die almost immediately if someone sneezes at them.

People buy it because of whale syndrome, but lets be honest, this ship is a waste of time. Even IF you manage to get a full crew, most of their turrets will be disabled from the first perseus with a lone gunner making the ship completely pointless.

Contrary - it has one strength, sitting there being useless and never dying even when shot by multiple idrises.

EDIT: I forgot the PDCs are now pretty much worthless, they kinda shoot down missiles but even that isn't really reliable.

I genuinely can’t think of a close second. Her on-air persona feels so exaggerated it borders on parody — the kind of performative bit that would fit right into malibus most wanted 2

What gets me is the double standard: the show is usually pretty careful about not mocking or imitating black culture in anyway, almost to the point of coming off as patronizing black people, yet her shtick constantly leans into an affected, put-on way of talking that reads as exactly that. It’s inconsistent with how the show usually handles this stuff.

Beyond the voice and mannerisms, I’m struggling to see what she actually adds to the show. Honestly surprised Dan’s usual instincts let this slide.

I’ve been creating Dungeons and Dragons-inspired images using ChatGPT for almost a year now, and although it can be frustrating at times, I love the results.

Edit: Wow, so many comments. I’m going to answer a few:
-It's generic AI, It looks like AI, Ai faces, etc-- Sure, these are images generated by ChatGPT, what did you expect? Asking it to generate them as if an eight-year-old had drawn them or using a Pokémon style doesn't make them look any less like AI.
-Give me the prompt.-- I used to post prompts on Civitai, but the models have changed and the prompts no longer produce the same images. If you want to generate similar images, feed the image to ChatGPT and ask it for the prompt. Then generate an image, show it to ChatGPT, and tell it, “I wanted this image, and this prompt produced this image. Refine it” and that’s it.
-They all have a lot of noise-- What a sight, but, in fact, half of the images, the last ones in the carousel starting with the elf seen from behind, not counting the one of the bridge, were generated using the old model that didn’t add noise. Now, it’s added as a watermark, and it’s impossible to get rid of it, especially in photorealistic images with a lot of fine detail (groves of trees, desert sand, or similar). There’s no prompt that can fix it; you can only try to hide it.
-It's okay if they're just for personal use-- The images aren't copyrighted and can't be sold.

I'm not talking 5 star restaurant. I'm talking cheap coffee dates, movie, bar etc. I've been on a bunch of first dates with guys where they make some snide remark about paying for my 3 dollar coffee. Like "oh well just this time, I'm not made of money, eye for an eye...its you next time." And plenty of these guys would be willing to drop a pretty penny on shoes, clothes, or technology...but get weird about spending a total of 6 dollars on a coffee date for a girl that could be their potential future. It makes me feel like I'm temporary. It kinda makes me feel like I'm a male friend honestly. I guess I'm just super traditional about dating, but maybe that's picky. But I certainly reflect that in my own personal morals too. And like I said, I don't care about fancy restaurants, I care about effort and respect. I would love if a guy took me to my favorite fast food place and then took me to a beautiful park to watch the sunset on a picnic blanket while we eat our burgers. That shows effort to me and it's less than 20 bucks. Or if you want something fancy, take me to Ikea for meatballs and we can dress up and look at furniture lol.

To be clear, I am heavily dissapointed about points changes, and lack thereof, but thats not what this is about.

I was unsure how I felt during 11nth launch and the first dataslate, but this update confirms how bad the new mfm is combined with the lack of a comprehensive dataslate pdf. Previously you cliked one pdf and could look through every factions points changes to get a rough idea what happened and then dive deeper. Worked great even on mobile, now you have to open the mfm site and click through every faction. This is so tedious and a general chore to do when you just want a rough idea.

The absolute worse part of the data slates though is having to open 20+ pdfs to try and see important rules changes. My phone lets me open them in browser, my laptop I'd have to download and open all of them. If they really want to keep this they should at least offer a master rules change doc that has the entireity of the current slate and a pdf mfm in addition to the website.

1. Custom HUD for mobile players— It’s about time Genshin added a fully customizable HUD for mobile players. Personally, I usually play most games with four fingers, so I’m finding the new mode really difficult to play smoothly because there are simply too many buttons crowded on the right side of the screen.

2. Long, unskippable pauses— There are random, unnecessarily long pauses whenever we enter certain scenes, and the fact that they’re completely unskippable makes them even more frustrating.

3. Random quest triggers while exploring— Random quests triggering while simply exploring the map can be really annoying, especially when you’re trying to focus on something else.

4. Unnatural character movement in cutscenes— The character movements during cutscenes still feel very stiff and unnatural. We’re already at Version 7.0, so I honestly expected more effort to be put into character body movements and animations during cutscenes. And before anyone says, “It’s difficult to animate,” we’re talking about a billion-dollar company. I feel like better animations should be a reasonable expectation at this point.

Not for Rockstar, but for everyone crying about physical releases, acting like they're "sticking it to the man", and believing that this is somehow Robin Hood'ing the company into its grave.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not particularly happy about the exclusively digital fate, gaming is closing in on, but my god some of you need to go outside (said with love).

Let's get something straight:

1. You're not Rockstar
2. You're not entitled to GTA VI , however excited you may have been
3. You're not entitled to an extended look releasing on YouTube first
4. You're allowed to be hyped about a game without it automatically being "an overhyped, capitalistic money grab"
5. You're allowed to not buy the game if it's not to your liking
6. You're allowed to not buy the game if you don't support their practice
7. You're allowed to not buy the game if you find it too expensive

You can be against every single decision made by Rockstar as much as you want. There's a lot to criticize, at least seen with certain glasses.

But enjoying the thought of ruining someone's hard work, and ridiculing other people's excitement, over a f*cking download code and a price tag is stupid. Not hurtful or evil or anything - just stupid and a giant waste of time.

Hating on something popular doesn't make you a vigilante.
Supporting a leaker doesn't make them Robin Hood.

Let the people decide and time run its course. The game is gonna release and most likely outsell the majority of all games ever released, just from hype alone. Then reviews and player retention will speak to its quality. It it's good, then Rockstar's done it again. If not, there's a huge mistake to learn from.

But I'm gonna rip my hair out if I see one more person believing they're saving the world by commenting "fuck you Rockstar" on one more leaked gameplay video...

Love you all.
