Nice of them to label it as being AI-generated, I would never have guessed otherwise.

Is lion-fucking weird? I'm having trouble keeping up with contemporary mores.

It’s all bloody words though and no action. I gave up before I even got out of the room. I remember these sort of games when I was a kid in the 80s and they were shit then. Games have got so much better since, yet some seem to perversely enjoy these weird retro text games

It's really more of an interactive novel than a game, and many games these days are often a form of story telling medium more than a game in the traditional sense with high scores etc.

It is all words, but those words are frequently moving, thought provoking and laugh out loud funny. You wouldn't give up on a novel which was those things. You should give it another try.

Shame they didn't try it with a real lion.

Some of his supporters might find it problematic that it's a male lion

I know we have our own problems with loons in the UK, but in comparison it's off the scale across pond, how the fuck has America ended-up with such a high proportion of ignorance and dangerous fuckwits?

 

[Nylock]

Successive underfunding to education, increasing scorn of 'experts', heavily siloed news diets that have only got worse and more polarised since Fox news brought the talk radio sensibility to TV, politicians who famously promise one thing and deliver something quite different, floor to ceiling grifting, offshoring, rampant corporate welfarism, shady organisations (and vastly wealthy individuals) pushing highly iliberal agendas over decades with a drip-feed of evil, constant overton window shifting, long-standing racial animus, entrenced suspicion between urban centres and rural hinterlands, religious zealotry, social media bubbles and echo chambers, a realisation that something is fundamentally fucked but no real understanding of what's fucked or even how to fix it, 'low information voters', despite the freedom rhetoric an almost fawning deference to people considered as 'betters', endemic corruption, increasingly incompetent law enforcement (both frontline and 'at the bench'), heavily partisan (and therefore political) judicial appointments, legislative dysfunction... It's a long list and this barely even scratches the surface.

Top Fire Official Helped Concoct Hoax Against Department, Targeting "Woke" Policies Like Vaccine Mandate - PubliCola

The former deputy fire chief and another firefighter created a fake “proud Latino” from South Park. Messages also show…

publicola.com

A Seattle Fire Department deputy chief, Tom Walsh, and a longtime firefighter, identified in Signal messages as Paul Patterson, concocted a ruse to deceive fire chief Harold Scoggins into changing the language the department uses to describe staffing shortages in an attempt to prove the department was too “woke,” then shopped the story to right-wing media. KTTH commentator Jason Rantz picked up the story and ran with it last year.

The messages were obtained through a citizen records request and are available on Muckrock.

Walsh and Patterson were among many SFD personnel who were furious over the COVID vaccine mandate that went into effect in 2021. Signal messages between Walsh and a half-dozen other fire department employees show the men endorsing conspiracy theories, making racially insensitive comments (such as suggesting that Scoggins can never be fired because he’s Black), and using the f-slur for gay men.

“A Trump-licensed building in Florida sold a two-bedroom condo to a shell company on August 12 2010, for example, for $956,768. That shell company sold the condo to another shell company, at a heavy loss, for $525,000 that same day.”

Jesus.

That could be "creating a tax loss" although what the author says about people/companies desperate to conceal illegal wealth could also be true.

The lion has been adopted by right-wing/far-right over here as well. Seems to me to be visual shorthand for their idea of “traditional” values of various sorts - Strength, determination, sovereignty, overarching individuality and national cohesiveness at the same time, etc..

Any story that a "commentator" breaks really has to be assumed to be one of these set-up / fake things.

So they not planning on releasing them en mass in the bible belt?

 

[pogofish]

What's that parable/Bible quote about "strength" and the lion again..?

 

[petee]

What's that parable/Bible quote about "strength" and the lion again..?

Judges 14:14
"Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strength came sweetness."

 

[two sheds]

And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

?

 

[petee]

the whole chapter is a bit crazy, the next verse is:

On the fourth day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Coax your husband into explaining the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to steal our property?”

which is trumpian, tbh.
