Guardian gave it 100/100 we can throw that review in garbage can
Author of the review made a whole big butt article where he bitching about cutscene
Any one who played video games know a cutscene is better than an in-game cute scene where you can control your character because those are unskippable.
Mote bs reviewers and here it comes
https://n4g.com/news/2652490/civilization-7-review-ign#comments
IGN 7/10 basically the lowest score they could give
https://www.eurog*mer.net/civilization-7-review
Eurogaymers 4/10
So the game ain't that good.
Game probably will be in decent state after like 5 years and 100 paid dlc's
Sad but I guess only monster hunter and yakuza pirates for me in February and then in March butt shadow, atelier yumia, dead or alive prism

!oldstrags did you know Metafilter still exists? It does!
Did you know it's a giant circlejerk even more insular than reddit? Of course you did.
(For those who don't know, MeFi is an ancient internet forum that costs $5 to join. It's like SomethingAwful if it were never funny, or rdrama if you losers had jobs and could afford 5 dollars to keep out the thirdies)
Anyway, in 2014 they had a struggle session about thinking the unspeakable wrongs.
Wendy Carlos is a transwoman. Seriously, I mentioned this once and it got instadeleted because WTF? apparently some longstanding flame war of which I wasn't even aware.
I don't know who Wendy Carlos is, but I know that trans women
are
women
. There's no such thing as a "transwoman".
Anyway, after few thousand comments the thread devolves into people getting their fee-fees hurt and demanding apologies
If you want a personal apology for a comment that was not directed at you then you might as well just come out and say so instead of continuing to harp on it despite the fact that sweetkid has explained her reasoning and sincerely apologized to the actual people involved.
Then later on, down the end there's a big argument about whether it's okay to dox a 27 year old dude who really really likes a 17 y/o
This comment does not look to me like an apology or an expression of misunderstanding. It looks to me like an admission he googled the information and intentionally doxxed someone he was characterizing as a "libertarian" and "sexual predator."
So folks are free to read the actual MeTa I am recalling and decide for themselves whether or not I am wildly misremembering anything or mischaracterizing it.
Y'all can't behave!

Don't take this the wrong wayβ Do you actually look like your photos? Or are they a collage of you on your best day, and not rooted in reality?
I've walked out on dates. It's almost 100% of the time because the person misrepresented themself in some way. Maybe they hid something obvious. Maybe they were in denial about aging or weight fluctuation. He could have also built you up in his mind into someone you're not, and then panicked when he was met with reality (this has also happened to me) Who knows. But yea, for leaving after 5 mins, I'm guessing it had to do with an unmet expectation.

I've been messing around trying to figure out LoRA training recently and decided to train a style LoRA on the original Marsey Telegram stickers.
Should more flexible than MarseyGen since this is trained on a newer uncensored model, but it's booru tag-based so it's not as easy to prompt.
Recommended Settings:
Requires a UI that supports SDXL V-Pred models such as reForge/Comfy UI
Model: NoobAI-XL V-Pred-1.0 (may work ok with other NoobAI based models)
LoRA strength: 1.0
Sampler: Euler A
Scheduler: Beta
Steps:
30CFG Scale: 5
CFG Rescale: 0.5-0.7
Zero SNR: On
Use the following tags to generate images of Marsey:
domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail
Full example prompt:
masterpiece, best quality, marseystyle,
solo, domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail, sitting, :D, blush, black background
<lora:marseystyle:1>
Negative prompt: worst quality, low quality
Some example images (with metadata from reForge UI):

I'm a petty beefy guy. Have been for most of my adult life. I'm changing my eating and hitting the gym again to get healthy, but I don't think I'll ever be super thin again.
There seem to be a decent amount of men who find plus size women sexy, which I think is fantastic. But as a man, I can't say that my experience has been proportional or at all similar. Outside of fetish communities, I've not encountered a woman who was sincerely attracted to someone with my body type, and thats... hard.
I don't want to be a fetish. I don't want to be in a feeder-type relationship. I want to be healthy, but I also accept that healthiness for me might still be a hefty body type. The BHM communities I've found on reddit are very sexually oriented. I'm not here to kink shame anyone, but that's just not me.
I'm a man with a deep capacity for love and connection. I'm very connected to my feelings and really would like to find a meaningful relationship based on mutual interest, attraction, and compatible personalities.
I just don't know where to find women who would be interested in dating a guy like me. The apps are out. So are the popular dating sites. I just feel like modern dating isn't made for the plus sized man.
Does anyone have some good advice for me? I'm a 46 year old man, who at this point, is kind of at a loss.

https://old.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1ipluyt/im_think_lay_offs_are_here_at_the_irs/
https://old.reddit.com/r/IRS/comments/1ippxle/us_irs_prepares_to_lay_off_thousands_of_workers/
WASHINGTON (AP) β The IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season, according to two sources familiar with the agency's plans, and cuts could happen as soon as next week.
This comes as the Trump administration intensified sweeping efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce, by ordering agencies to lay off nearly all probationary employees who had not yet gained civil service protection.
It's unclear how many IRS workers will be affected.
Previously, the administration announced a plan to offer buyouts to almost all federal employees through a "deferred resignation program" to quickly reduce the government workforce. The program deadline was Feb. 6, and administration officials said employees who accept will be able to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until Sept. 30.
However, IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season were told they will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until after the taxpayer filing deadline, according to a letter sent recently to IRS employees.
It is unclear how many workers will be impacted by the layoff announcement plan. Representatives from the U.S. Treasury and IRS did not respond to Associated Press requests for comment.
Jan. 27 was the official start date of the 2025 tax season, and the IRS expects more than 140 million tax returns to be filed by the April 15 deadline. The Biden administration invested heavily in the IRS through an $80 billion infusion of funds in Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, which included plans to hire tens of thousands of new employees to help with customer service and enforcement as well as new technology to update the tax collection agency.
Republicans have been successful at clawing back that money, and billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency have called for the U.S. to "delete entire agencies" from the federal government as part of his to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities.
Elected officials are trying to fight against DOGE plans. Attorneys general from 14 states challenged the authority of to access sensitive government data and exercise "virtually unchecked power" in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, says the actions taken by Musk at the helm of DOGE can only be taken by a nominated and Senate-confirmed official. It cites constitutional provisions that delineate the powers of Congress and the president.
