  • No no, please give me those vast definitely not procedural generated landscapes of open world games - no even better give me the infinite world of Minecraft that is just procedurally generated and those wall and floor textures that some poor overworked artis generated by putting a noise filter on gray and brown squares. Oh you can’t imagine how much I love the dialogue choices that totally make sense. And the always identical animations of every character I meet in my games

    But I really despise this regurgitated stuff from an AI, especially the translations of languages that I don’t understand. Or variated character models or some textures that I usually only notice if they were missing.

    Raging about AI is a trend. It will go away like gamergate, shutting down reddit 3rd party apps and removing porn from Flickr. Those who add value to their products with GenAI will prevail.

    So rage in harmony with other haters instead of improving by being constructive.





  • Alright, it took some time to understand what actually was happening: There was no state legalized separation of mother and child, the mother chose to return to Germany and left her child back with her parents. The mother is under investigation because she had/has ties to organizations classified as terrorist organizations in Germany and the EU and her permanent residency permit is in jeopardy.

    The sensationalized headline is misleading. German authorities do not misuse their power to separate families. And they do not misuse their power to punish Palestinian supporters.

    I’m not saying that this was a well handled case, in fact you can see the flaws of a over engineered bureaucracy at play, but this is not even remotely as bad as what is happening elsewhere.

    And pointing out 22 cases of supposed abuse when there are over a quarter million request for asylum doesn’t make a good case either.

    Articles like that won’t help Palestinians, they will further move them into a terrorist corner where they definitely don’t belong.




  • As a almost 50 year old heterosexual white cis man, my opinion might not matter here but as someone who is not married to his wife and mother of our children let me mansplain to you that it is not time that matters but the quality you both see I ln a relationship. Does your girlfriend want to marry? Do you live together and how does it feel? Besides butterflies in the stomach and satisfying intimacy, do you get along in your common live. Do you and does your girlfriend have space in your relationship to retreat and self-care while also allowing to spend enough time together . Can you imagine an every day live and do you believe that you can still enjoy one another even when times are rough for one of you? For me and my wife that I now live with for over 20 years, own a house together, have two kids and a dog, marriage was to binding for both of us. We found another way and we are happy. If that is different for you and your girlfriend do take that step. Time and age is not solely the deciding factor
