I guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)

If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.

You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.

You may figure out payday

Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles

Could figure out someone’s route home

Family size maybe.

Probably more idk.

In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.

As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.

As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.

That’s exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I’m just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don’t want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch

I have the ability to do the job you require and am willing to do it in the listed times for the price stated. Let’s get this going.

I bloody hate having to be all “yeah im really passionate about mopping floors at 6am? There’s nothing I love more than getting yelled at by customers.”

It frustrates me because having to suck them off like that is the only technique that works because why don’t interviewers see straight through it? Their entire purpose at that point is to hire the best guy for the job, and consistently they just fall for bullshit.

I peaked hard on Halo. I wish I had the gear/inclination to start a YouTube channel for it. Back in those days YouTube wasn’t the high-paying career it is today, and i was convinced it would be a waste of money to get the gear required to start one.

I’ve properly grown up since then though, and now im nowhere near the best at any video game. I often wonder how different life would be if I’d managed to just sit at home playing games every day and be a near millionaire from it.

Tunic felt to me like being 3 or 4 again. Unable to read the instructions, working it out from the pictures and button icons.

I didnt complete it, I got stuck against some baddy quite early on and just sorta lost interest, but its on my list of games to go back to.

Im going to need to go back and try it again, I don’t think i gave it enough time. I failed (because of course I did) about 5 times before giving up. Its a neat concept but it didnt get its hooks in me like everyone else says.

Without fullt spoiling it, does it have some kind of twist in it that I didnt give it a chance to do?

Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.

Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.

Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.

Let’s go to the nightclub like when we were younger.

End up everyone looking at you funny because you’re the only person over 22.

I sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don’t have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.

This whole thread is twisting my melon. Im gonna be wondering whether or not this object counts as a cup all day now.

Obligatory parks and recreation

Skip a minute into it though for some reason the clip starts way sooner than it needs to.

Yeah he said “-if- it wasn’t a beverage” its just a hypothetical

The display being at a higher resolution doesnt help either. Running retro games on my fancy flatscreen hi-def massive TV makes them look and feel so much worse than on the smaller fuzzy CRT screens of the time.

I can’t stand modern games with lower frame rates. I had to give up on Avowed and a few other late titles on the series S because it makes me feel sick when turning the camera. I assume most of the later titles on xbox will be doing this as theyre starting to push what the systems are capable of and the series S can’t really cope as well.

Fable 4 if it’s getting a mention. It’s the only game I’m actually excited for any more.

The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don’t know theyre coming or good until they happen.

I don’t know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think “yeah it looks pretty but I’m pretty sure I played it 20 times before”

Im relying on sts2 to break the grip for me. I kinda wanna be “STS2 sucks, it’s not as good as the original they ruined it somehow. Also why would I ever bother playing STS when 2 is out? Better find something else to obsess over”

How could the dictionary be biased? Genuine question i promise im not piling on in bad faith or anything

Well played

I think it doesnt matter so much where the line is, because people who want to be offended by that kind of thing will find something to be offended about.

I don’t see anything wrong with those examples in that article. I see it as like a giant game of “Guess Who” when I’m trying to talk about a specific member of the group to someone who doesnt know who’s who. Nothing wrong with saying Mitch is “the Asian classmate” if he’s the only one.

I’ve seen people desperately trying not to say “the black guy” when there’s only one black guy and they’re trying to narrow it down. “He’s sort of tall and has glasses and a beard but not like a full beard and I think he was wearing a tie and” its interminable.

Using “othering” aggressively, implying that the differences matter, is a problem. Using it as an identifiable feature is only a problem to PC Principal.
