A robot army being successfully deployed pretty much guarantees that Elon Musk was not involved

I was using Tesla as a representative of modern tech companies. Notice in my next post I mention the F-35, which Elon Musk was not involved with.

Yeah but as far as I can tell the F-35 thing isn't really true (edit: not that it's not a huge stupid money sink, but "lol it can't fly in rain" isn't true)

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from
Gripweed has a pretty good point though. Elon Musk or not a robot is only as good as its creator, and most of the people that would want to cause a robot apocalypse are idiots.

Sure but we're talking sci-fi stories where a robot army already exists. Obviously nobody is talking about an army of barely mobile prototypes that do a dance and fall over

Love sci-fi fantasy where it is Man vs Machine, and the Humans Soldiers can somehow hold their own against the Robot Soldiers

As opposed to what would actually happen in that Robo Soldiers would just murder everything with 100% accuracy at insane rates of fire.

Luckily a bug in the code has made the robosoldiers aim exclusively at children, making it a rousing success for the human soldiers

F-35 is a terrible robot. Requires a pilot, doesn't have robomode, they always fail to give it a sweet paint job, and it looks like one of those planes from the boring scenes in top gun 2.

people could slap FOE on the robots' backs by writing FOE on a piece of paper while covering it with their hands, taping a blank piece of paper over that, putting some loose tape on it, taping both papers to a robot's back, and then ripping off the blank cover at an arm's distance

When I was in Chicago, the person who took my food order at a restaurant recommended we not order the Chicago Style pizza because it would take like an hour to make and the novelty wouldn't be worth the extra wait.

I'm sure that gamers will debate endlessly on whether or not BG3 is a true successor to Baldur's Gate 2, but I would like to offer an alternate perspective: It is actually a successor to Dark Messiah. The frequency of bottomless pits located everywhere and the number of ways you can hit, shove, or kick enemies into them is nothing less than inspiring. Begone foes, I commit thee to the abyss.

BG3 is not what I would have wanted for a sequel to BG2, but it's still a great RPG and i'm really happy with how it turned out.

I’m having trouble getting into bg3 to be honest, I think it’s the overflow of buttons. Every combat turn I’m like “ok I can grab the imp and throw him at the hellhound, idk what that’s gonna do, or I could jump to the ledge up there and idk cast one of these ten spells (I’m level 2). or I can hit the imp with my sword and probably kill it”

People say "it's just D:OS2 with a coat of paint" to argue why it's not really Baldur's Gate, but I think D:OS/D:OS2 pushed the CRPG genre out of the mire of nostalgia it had trouble getting out of since Baldur's Gate 2. BG2 was so successful because of what it and its predecessor did that was new and innovative, not because of what previous thing it paid nostalgic tribute to. Divinity 3: Baldur's Gate is exactly what the franchise needed IMO. POE1 was supposed to be the renaissance of Baldur's Gate's legacy and look how that turned out. And then POE2 deviated significantly from that old formula and was much better for it. Taking franchises in new directions and shedding the cruft of previous entries in favour of new things is what good sequels should do.

tonally bg3 feels “this isn’t your DADDY’s gate” a lil too much, it’s the most gruesome d&d-adjacent thing I’ve ever experienced by a factor of twenty, and it’s just not… fun. I really was wanting something like the recent d&d movie.

The solution to all this is of course to pretend that it really is just dos3 and adjust my expectations accordingly. Tonight I’m gonna start a new game with my dos2 co-op partner who knows nothing about d&d and I’m betting we’re gonna have an awesome time

The sauce is like 90% of the reason I ever want pizza, so Chicago style sauce buckets really own imo.

P.S. if you want free extra cheese on pizza, ask for light cheese, extra sauce. Those fuckers will never ever give you extra sauce but they will unceremoniously smother your pizza in sauce-glue .
