This is the perfect way to reduce hate speech, creat an arbitrary rule by which you measure it, then stop looking for it entirely.

Twitter's eventually gonna go down and the only thing they can do is revert the database 22 minutes, at which point it will crash again in 22 minutes. In this window of time Elon and the remaining guys on Visas will put together clues left by a team of prior engineers that have long since left. They become of aware of a reset kill switch in the code that will revert everything to a "workable state", but they only ever have 22 minutes to find it. When they finally do they hit the switch after playing country music and roasting marshmallows, the Twitter HQ shrinks into a singularity then expands uncontrollably, destroying Silicon Valley and Hollywood. The internet and all streaming services go down. We all go outside and get sunburns.

It's not a spooky scare game. The DLC has a bit more of that though.

Even if you take a really charitable interpretation of Augustus, you end up with a dictator who shattered everything around him in order to take absolute personal control, and then spent the rest of his life rubbing the pieces together wondering why they wouldn't start working again.

So what I'm saying is sorry Zuck but master entrepreneur Elon Musk is way ahead of you

Bits are here and there. But it's more Subnautica spooky than actual horror game spooky.

A buddy of mine bailed because he's horrified of (relatively minor spoiler that you're likely to see in your first hour ish if it's not just in promo material) black holes, but that's more of a phobia than spooky imo.

For fifteen bucks I'll give it a try. No jump scares or body horror allowed though :mad:

yea I loved it and it's one of the stand-out titles that still sticks with me

but I absolutely love adventure-puzzle games that manage to stay away from inventory systems and love The Witness for similar reasons so take that as you will. Outer Wilds is far less pretentious and doesn't have anything like those line puzzles tho

No body horror whatsoever. The DLC has kinda jump scares, but there's an option to turn the spookiness level down.

The witness is so good. I do not get the pretentiousness allegations. It’s just puzzles. I guess there’s some philosophy audio logs scattered around? But even Call of Duty has philosophical excerpts when you die. It’s fine, go walk around a pretty island solving clever puzzles and listen to some philosophers talk about the conceptual self and go “oooh, hmmm.” It’s a pleasant time. It’s like going to a museum on a weekend.

The “lead design” guy is a douche, but I’m going to head cannon that it’s an Elon musk situation where the rest of the team was just babysitting him while they made the game.

Now hate speech is only easily accessable to the person it's targeting.

It's created a little bespoke hate universe for anyone who tweets, where Both Sides Have Valid Points (One Side Is Kill Yourself For Your Gender / Race / Sexual Preferences). It was a little gauche when just anyone could drop in on the private hate.

Said it before itt, he and Trump both just have violently bad daddy issues.

With enough starting cash, you can buy success of a sort, a personal myth (the savvy businessman and the eccentric engineer), sex (or at least a horse or two as a "sorry i trapped you on my private jet for sex"), even friendship and love to some extent. But you can't buy sincere, unconditional adoration and validation of the sort one normally gets from their parents. There are some emotional holes money can't fill. Trump flails to paper over his failings as a real estate mogul like his daddy was, and Musk wants validation as an engineer like his daddy was.

Both of these men were born into more money than makes sense to any of us and they spent decades and billions trying to build images of themselves as better versions of their fathers.

These aren't men. They're sad, scared boys that live in their fathers' shadows, and will die in their fathers' shadows.

It'd make me feel bad if they weren't both born with more than enough money to retire at 18.

It's all estimates, but there have been studies done on general hate speech. Usually by filtering for certain words, or detecting the 'tone' of posts. Thinking to those studies that show aggressive content spurs more reactions and what not.

But yeah just posting a static graphic saying HATE DOWN without any further detail deserves ridicule.
