All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There's no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.

Note that they're just isolating blood flow. They're not taking the brain out and putting it in a fancy jar.

Not totally clear how this is different than a heart and lung machine that they use during major heart surgery. Sounds like this is mostly an improvement on that, they talk about it replicating the 'pulse' of a heartbeat for example.

EVE has been combating bots for years, optimal gameplay is often relatively simple to automate. I'm not sure they'll be all that disruptive.

(and the time it would take to implement data collection for a learning model is unlikely to be spent by anyone, for how much effort it would be considering the questionable gains over 'dumb' bots)

I still play EVE online, having a lot of fun in faction warfare these days.

A video came out on the history of the game recently, just a cool 6 hour deep dive. https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?si=1sKdXt8oPRUTbzs1

I've also gotten into Guild Wars 2 recently and I'm a little addicted. The game just feels great: nice community, events are engaging, so much stuff to do but at the same time not demanding like games can be sometimes.

Navigator in the first season. Then he gets a promotion to chief engineer.

I moved to Europe from the US. Forgot to cancel my gym membership before I went.

They demanded a handwritten letter, delivered in person by myself to cancel the membership. I wasn't buying an international flight just for them, so I mailed them a letter and had to threaten to sue to get them to close it. Absolutely disgraceful.

Just going off the picture these look more like concretions of some kind. How heavy are they?

I guess a political movement demanding better metrics / KPIs wouldn't be all that sexy, huh.

Oh no! Another group also has problematic beliefs? How can we possibly talk about this case when there are others too! /s

I was reflexively mad reading the start of this comment but by the end you had me 100% sold on your analysis.
