Im not from the US, so while im an english speaker it looks like I would not be the target for this kind of cultural localisation - but wouldn’t you go to jail for owning an illegal firearm in the US too?

sorry but, isn’t ‘shooting people’ serious shit everywhere?

The way they react is utter disrespect. Even if you didnt understand that they didn’t like you, they didn’t respect you enough to tell you why they were reacting the way they were. Leaving you in the dark is an attempt to make you feel crazy or bad, to save themselves from the awkwardness of then telling you how they feel about the ways you interacted with them.

At that age its hard to know better, unfortunately.

All that being said, they may also just be bitches

hyperbole

ill answer i guess

I prefer kindness over strength. Kindness seems to be a core drive whike strength feels like a means to an end. Put it this way, id rather myself and others be kind and weak, rather than cruel and strong.

No I haven’t played pacman this morning, I don’t play pacman most mornings

Yeah, because they have the freedom to even make those choices in the first place, lmao.

You can be united under democracy and by necessity still disagree over dirrerent ideas

When artists arent available a rendered placeholder would give a more appropriate proof of concept than blank textures with text on them.

A semantics discussion isnt required to know that to do something responsibly, that it means to act in good faith and to be confidently informed enough to do so. We measure responsibility by the absence of harm.

Sure, that works too.

I could think of of plenty examples, but a good use for pirating would be Disco Elysium - the publishers stole the IP of the creators unjustly, so it would be cobsidered by many ethical to not purchase the game and instead pirate it and donate a comfortable amount to the actual creators patreons. You are actuallu combating theft, in this instance.

But of course it would not be responsible to pirate most indie games

This feels like unecessary absolutism and fear mongeting. I am by no means an AI lover, but people shouldn’t let the worst implimentations of something cloud their judgement.

I feel the question should be “Does this project use A.I responsibly?” not “Was A.I used?”

Maybe what we should be advocating for is transparency with these decisions?
