  • So look, this is just gonna happen. It’s legal to film people in public (in the US) and we all know stores, etc. are already using facial recognition.

    The real problem here is the (apparent, though almost certainly assured) lack of responsible use of the data. Scanning faces means you also get time, place, and event/activity, and the citizens then have zero control of what the govt does with this, who they share it with (e.g. Palantir), etc. All prior collection of US person data required appropriate approval, limited scope of access, and timely adjudication/disposal. But ICE is (again, apparently) operating outside the law.

    Sorting your trash is the human equivalent of planting a tree, and it’s especially valuable if you have/teach children. It’s a small activity that helps to build better habits and mindsets.

    It won’t change the world today, but it will build a foundation for changing the world tomorrow.












  • Too much of Silksong’s difficulty is just numbers. Shitty peon enemies hit for two health because fuck you. Touching a boss while it’s stunned hits for two health because fuck you.

    And then there’s the whole shard system, which straight-up doesn’t need to exist since it just makes you never engage with tools. Until you use them to nuke a boss in its final phase, of course, because the alternative is playing RNG roulette against the boss’s 3 adds (that each hit for two damage, naturally).

    It’s a great game, but it definitely isn’t a perfect game.

    They need to remove shards, tweak (lower) the power of tools, and adjust outgoing damage (ideally through armor-like upgrades you earn).
    Oh, and crests were not the right call. We all just use the Reaper (unless we’re further exploiting tools with that other crest).
