On the bright side, they successfully warned us away from vr-based operating systems. Sure do love playing lovely descent in order to open a file!

Don Gato posted:It's been a while since I read Idoru, but the plot revolved around a fake AI-generated Japanese idol, and that book was written in the 90s. If anything cyberpunk tried to warn us, we just ignored it until it was too late. I don't think that was a warning as such, they loved that poo poo. To be honest once I get my own holodeck I'm never going outside again

Vice posted:A camera slowly stalks a woman walking to her SUV in a desolate, empty parking garage. “If question 1 passes in Massachusetts, anyone could access the most personal data stored in your vehicle,” a narrator says. “Domestic violence advocates say a sexual predator could use the data to stalk their victims. Pinpoint exactly where you are. Whether you are alone …” The woman’s keys jingle as she approaches her car. The camera gets closer. The woman whips her head around. The stalker has found her. The screen flashes to black. “Vote NO on 1,” the narrator says. https://youtu.be/3BH3Y6QL9nw

1945 Tiger tank paint jobs sound like a wild topic given the Nazi logistics and acquisition were a hilarious joke and I bet some meth addicted party members had some wild arguments over exactly what shade of grey they should be

what the gently caress posted:Up until this point it looked like a terrible terrible PR campaign, trying to sell an edgy product. If they had tried to be much more tasteful about the whole thing, and presented this new book/product as more of an art idea, it probably would have gone over much better. However the content of these books is just as bad: the pictures

i "love" this tendency for some people online to assume that anyone else online who refers to "nazis" is just an sjw who is hyperbolically calling people nazis for no reason. had that happen when i was complaining about a neighbor who was a nazi and also looked in my windows at night: everybody online was like "lol you sjws call people nazis all the time, maybe your neighbors wouldn't hate you if you didn't have purple hair and call them nazis for supporting trump" and meanwhile IRL this dude had swastika, reichsadler and SS lightning bolt tattoos on his neck and face lol -- same when i called my supervisor at the job i quit a "white supremacist" but like. the dude was reading stormfront forums on the work computers

If you'd like to see how well it's worked, allow me to refer you to November 2016

Out of thread context, yeah that's pretty bad. In thread context, "structurally and thematically this is possibly the worst copywriting I have ever seen: [a relatively inoffensive sign]" directly after the dizzying heights of "How do we deal with rats? also here's instructions on how to make your mass grave look realistic" made me laugh so hard I cried.

I keep getting ads for Matchington Mansion where a poor, cheated-on woman protagonist has to fix up a dump through the magic of basic puzzles. I assume they got my gender wrong, and also that the actual game is completely different

I wonder when games like this will start realistically depicting life. For example, instead of wearing a black and white striped shirt, mask, and knit cap, the criminal should just look like Matt Lauer.

The usual employer move is to blather on about the importance of achieving a good work-life balance, because that's what they're supposed to do, while simultaneously organizing the work in such a way that said balance is impossible to achieve in practice. I don't really care what they put on their windows, in a way I can appreciate the honesty
