  • This happened on a public playground, not in a school. As far as I could see from the video, there were no teachers or authority figures in sight.

  • It's all manufactured outrage if you ask me. They want you to get mad and stay mad so they can tell you who to hate and what to do about it instead of doing something productive with your life.

    Without social media and the Internet, none of us would have ever heard about this incident (or others like it), unless it happened to someone we actually know, and our lives would have likely been better for it. Definitely more peaceful.

  • The guy in the video didn't seem all that interested in his son's behavior, although it's hard to tell if it was because he was more offended about the slur. I don't really see any winners here, they both acted like idiots if you ask me.

  • I like Witsy, as it offers a lot of system integration that isn't possible with web apps, such as a quick prompt feature and the ability to select text in any app and have the AI act on it. Oh and it's also FOSS.

  • It's not the words that are hurting you in that case, it's the people with guns who are enforcing them.

  • Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me"?

  • The article makes it appear as if she called the child a slur for no reason at all. Whether her excuse is valid is another question, but you can't just leave that out.

  • It is a fact that she claims that the child was stealing from her.

  • The article is missing an important fact, namely that the child allegedly tried to steal from her. There is no video evidence of this (as far as I know), but it probably should have been mentioned in the article.

    Not saying that's an excuse for her behavior, but it does provide some background as to why she's claiming to be a victim.

  • Yeah, I wonder if that's perhaps the result of basically stapling the old game engine onto UE5 in order to preserve the core gameplay. Back when Oblivion was first released, multicore CPUs were incredibly rare, so it's likely the engine was not built to take advantage of them. But ever since then, most of the improvements in CPUs have come in the form of adding more cores rather than increasing clock speed, and it's by no means trivial to convert single-threaded code into multi-threaded. Most likely it would require a complete rewrite, which they'd probably want to avoid in order not to introduce more bugs.

    But of course, it could also just be UE5's fault, since even a single core on a modern CPU should not be slower than a 2006 model.

  • That's a good point. I mean Doomguy WAS very clearly visible on the box art wearing a green outfit and a gray helmet, but the outfit appears to be made of cloth rather than steel, and he looks more like a football player than anything.

    His modern appearance in full power armor was indeed only introduced with the 2016 reboot.

  • Possible, but in that case it might have actually helped them to first tie them up in a difficult and potentially expensive lawsuit in order to lower the purchase price. Sounds like something Microsoft would do...

  • The protagonist in Halo: Reach wears gray armor with blue accents and he looks just as badass as Master Chief, if not moreso.

  • It wasn't necessary for both to be green. Master Chief could've had a blue (or a red, or black, or silver) armor and he'd still be the same.

    How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief?

    They look so damn similar, from the style and color of their armor down to their behavioral traits. Seems like Bungie simply saw the success that Doom had over their Marathon series and thought to themselves "you know what our next game needs? A massively overpowered super soldier in green high tech armor who spouts sarcastic one liners in the face of an overwhelming alien invasion" and went to town with that concept. And it worked like a charm, they cranked out six massively successful games before id/Bethesda decided it was time to reboot the Doom franchise 2016.

    Perhaps it was payback for them to give Doomguy the Crucible in the reboot games (which looks a lot like the energy sword from Halo), but I can't help but think these two are essentially the same character.

  • "No, no, we haven't actually seen any evidence of murder, we're just reporting it."

  • The El Salvador facility was already built in 2022 during Pres. Bukele's national crackdown on gang violence. Since it was only running at half capacity (and to ingratiate himself with Trump most likely), Bukele has offered to incarcerate deported gang members there, especially those who were refused by their home countries.
