Vegetable posted:Roblox is actual metaverse. Like, it’s what Meta wish it had. This. Roblox itself is a yellow pages listing of worlds/games/"experiences" along with the creator tools to generate the games and marketing tools to get players. On the player side, you can do obstacle courses, racing, adventure, Minecraft imitations, high school dating simulators, amusement park Sims, you name it...there's even worlds with their own minigames, too. It's unbelievably fractal. If you've ever heard of Brookhaven, five nights at Freddie's, the backrooms...they're all roblox worlds. Every world has things for sale for robux, which you buy with fiat money. There's little to no moderation, zero control over what is for sale, and the thinnest of ranking systems. All that matters to the company is "Is this experience a robux sink?" They promote games that make money, whether they are a good player experience or not, which means the most diabolical, exploitative games rise to the top. anonumos fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Apr 6, 2024 |

The Bananana posted:Like, I know it's cliché to say at this point, but policing in this country is absolutely hosed, JUST by virtue of the content of those vids of the shooting. It's Sheriff's Department, so it's more likely to be 2-3 cars, and half a dozen cops, maybe more if they roped some Highway Patrol into it. Metro PDs are the ones with the obscene dozens responding. While metro PDs have that idiot mob mentality made worse by toxic training courses, Sheriffs Dept. are the ones who tend to do the "I'm the LAW!" thing and subsequently ignore the law. Teriyaki Koinku posted:If I can't even trust cops to not murder innocent civilians, then why should I trust some random slob that's conceal carrying to not randomly blow me away or shoot off his own balls just because he saw a shadow cross the edge of his vision? Random slobs don't take the "kill first, sheepdog" training that pre-teaches PTSD-level impulse responses to tense situations, so the hesitation to understand a situation with random slob might save lives or balls.

Roblox has always been shady. I remember back when they just had tons of stolen assets built into the official game and their front page trailer was a YouTube embed of a machinima with a This is Sparta joke.

Yeah, having been through most southern states for work I would have to say Alabama or Louisiana are the most insane people per capita. Going to a Walmart in Birmingham, AL is probably the only time I've ever been nervous in a Walmart.

Killing someone in retribution makes someone else, somewhere else feel better even if the convicted are innocent. Worth it.
