Actually, you can do multi-player games. On real machines you pay for credits, and then you have to use one credit per player. But, the first player plays their first ball, and after the first player drains (loses) their ball, the second player plays their first ball until they drain it, then the third player, etc. Once everyone has played their first balls, then Player One returns with their second ball, and play continues like that through all three balls.
The amount of trash talking during play varies depending on who you’re playing, but as with most things, trash talking your buddies while they’re playing is one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game.
Black Knight is really good, a top 5 for me. Attack From Mars is my favorite. Other notables: Medieval Madness, Champion Pub, and of course the ubiquitous Addams Family and Twilight Zone.
It’s not education anymore if people are doing that.
They are turning education into the pointless rigamarole they accuse it of being because they don’t get that education is more important than feeding oneself. Survival is easy. Animals do that. Education is about humanizing you and connecting you with the universe you live in. It’s about something higher and better than that. It’s about actually living.
But tell that to the troglodytes using ChatGPT to think for them, who truly only care about themselves.
While agree with this sentiment, it is important to note that many tasks in school do not enrich the student as a person and their capabilities, but are mundane and/or repetitive failures of a badly designed curriculum. I can absolutely understand why students would want to automate such exercises.
No, they do, or I should say did. Art and music are vital for motor skills and bran development. I was not allowed to take music classes and live with the sadness of not being able to play music despite wanting to, and knowing because of my age it’s largely too late.
The child’s brain is too malleable for you to justify not letting them be exposed to a variety of different skill sets even if they don’t like them as a kid. Adults are supposed to know letting kids specialize (more accurately do the bare minimum to go back to playing video games) is a bad idea.
I don’t care if you think learning is mundane. Even if it was, you have to do it anyway. Life isn’t always sunshine and roses.
Perpetual horrors. It might be a sign of the times, or just the internet, or both even, but there is a notable increase in constant terrible news. Climate change and death and hunger and epidemic and wars and billionaires and fascism and so forth, it desensitizes people.
Years ago people were deeply disturbed by violence, now I can watch a random russian conscript shoot himself in the mouth after a drone strike destroyed his legs every other day and it’s probably not the worst thing I’ve read or seen on that day even.
Everything seems fucked, it’s hard not to become somewhat apathetic towards it.
It's probably a mix, but I'd wager it's primarily a side effect of the existence of the internet. Before you'd hear the bad things in your immediate community, the really bad things from your country/region/whatever, and really only the truly horrible stuff from the world as a whole. Now you can have a constant feed of every bad thing that happens everywhere. As you see more of it, you're bound to get desensitized.
But hey on the otherhand I have unlimited videos of cute puppies and I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a pretty big upside.
So drinking a real-world cow’s milk is ok, but drinking a Zootopia cow’s milk would not be ok because… the Zootopia cow is presumably a full member of society who earns a living by consensually being milked?
Imagine thinking eating spoiled milk from a cow isn’t weird, but the mold part is. There are quite a few cases where mold is good. It’s not like blue cheese is the exception.
Zero chance they get anything meaningful done on this in the next 3 years.
And if they did I’m confident they would actually commit all sorts of crimes against humanity up there because it’s international space. They’d be jettisoning workers instead of paying workman’s comp for injuries or something
Isn’t the company behind this just a PO Box and a guy making Blender videos in his home office?
It’s Orbital Construction or something like that. There big claim to fame was a rig that loosely stuck together some metal trusses in a parking lot. Somehow they plan to turn this into an orbital assembly machine that takes metal rods and makes trusses in space, for some reason. If you’re already sending up metal rods, you could just send up the frames.
How they turn some metal girders into space habitats, I have no idea.
Hey, y’all remember that sub? I have to imagine if they manage to build a space station and launch it within that timeframe it’ll have something similar happen to it.
So let’s just make sure it’s full of rich people and politicans, yeah?
