bob dobbs is dead posted:yeah theres literally a biological built in apparatus to prevent incest and prevent liking incest. practically a cultural universal that incest is not ok hence why they always cloak it in step siblings/parents it might also have to do with blended/divorced families being much more common now, so you have a lot of horny teenagers suddenly living with unrelated people of similar age and the opposite sex, or dad remarrying and getting a new 'mom' who is barely older than they are like the stepmom in bill & ted The_Franz fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Mar 20, 2023 |

pretty sure the "step-" thing only appeals to people who don't have a sibling of the opposite sex and might have fantasized about it

akadajet posted:look even zuck has standards being able to choose an appearance and/or gender presentation that is substantially different from the physical body you're stuck in irl is one of the main real appeals to participating in virtual worlds facebook wants a metaverse that is an extension of the real world into a virtual space, from how people look to how corporations and advertisers get to shape the appearance and physicality of public spaces in my opinion this is fundamentally wrongheaded and unworkable premise from the perspective of most prospective users, and once again reflects facebook's utter inability to grasp the concept of creative self-expression

facebook still bans you if you don't post under your real name, right are they going to ban anyone whose metaverse avatar differs too much from their real appearance

He's constantly making minor optimizations to his format. At the end of the day, he's covering the same chess content as anyone else but he's snowballing in popularity to a ridiculous degree due in part to constantly optimizing.

I would imagine it's mostly because it gives a good reason to have random people within the same house/set meet, so the authors aren't stuck writing about delivery drivers forever. In tech bubble news related to people getting hosed, Amazon is gonna cut 9,000 jobs including AWS folks.

i think it's funny when threads get closed like that, so long as it's just re-made for the next couple years or w/e. if nobody remade the images or scifi or video game or whatever thread it'd be lame though

Agile Vector posted:i absolutely do not I'd guess it's a few things: 1. thinking it needs to scale up to having 10 thousand people in the environment [before they have a consistent 10] 2. that whole company has like an anti-aesthetic and lack of personality, just mild blue and a few icons is their whole visual brand. the avatar of the ceo and flag bearer for the whole initiative looks like a placeholder npc in a wii game cropped off at the waist 3. if you want to have good environments you need to hire actual artists and designers who work on existing games and I'd guess very few of them went to  good schools or appreciate the awesome super detailed feedback on their work from those people who did go to stanford

ADINSX posted:Also surprised, and a lot more worried about this round as I work for a not yet profitable aws service A few of my former coworkers jumped ship to AWS. Mostly sales/pre-sales folks, though. I should probably check in with them to see what’s up. Definitely glad to be in my company’s consulting division right now. I know exactly how much money they’re making off me, and I’ve already got the contracts and work lined up through the end of the year. Now, after that…
