  • It’s not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can’t expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I’d never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.







  • I add a lot of random games on my steam wishlist, many aren’t out yet. The oldest one I’ve wishlisted that is unreleased, by a good margin, is Silksong, back on 6/3/20. Next is Showa American Story on 1/8/22, then Clockwork Revolution (by the guys who did Wasteland 3 and Tides of Numenaria, good pedigree!) on 6/22/23. There’s a fair amount more that are closer to current day. Ultimately if these games never come out, I lose nothing. If/when they do then I get a lil e-mail that lets me know, and I can be like “oh yeah I did wishlist that didn’t I?”, then I look at a few reviews to make sure it isn’t absolute trash, and if it isn’t, I buy a cool game I wanted a few years ago and forgot about.

    That’s where Silksong lies for me.

    I feel real bad for folks who are deeply invested in it though, like brother there are a GRIP of metroidvanias out there. You are absolutely eating good in metroidvanias, don’t let yourself starve while you wait for Silksong, it’s only going to magnify any quibbles you have with it. Play Guns of Fury. Play Animal Well. Play 9 Years of Shadows. Play Pseudoregalia. Don’t let Silksong build itself up in your head.


  • Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.

    Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

    "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’

    “But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”
