  • Similarly, the Guinness of the beer and the Guinness of the book of records are the same Guinness. Michelin started as a tire company when there were only approximately 4000 cars in all of France, their home country, and started the restaurant guide as a way of increasing demand for travel, and therefore cars, and therefore tires for cars. Guinness the brewery started the list of records as something to keep on hand to settle arguments in pubs


  • Can confirm, my ISP is fiber out in a rural area, run by the rural electric company from a couple counties over and it’s pretty decent. Not top of the line stuff, offers either 100 megabit or 1 gigabit symmetrical for a home plan, but it’s much better than the fixed point wireless that was the best previous option and maxed out at 100 down/20 up for the highest tier plan, and that was only if you could get clear line of sight to the transmitter (Would sometimes go down if it was raining hard or it was windy or something as something could block line of sight or misalign the transmitter/receiver on one end of the connection or the other)

    And Clark Kent and Superman have massive differences, not just the laughed at glasses thing. There’s things like changing his demeanor, the fact that Kent is several inches shorter because he both slouches and uses his super strength to compress his own spine with his back muscles, constantly slightly vibrates at super speed as Superman to soften his features, etc

    And to circle it to a common online debate, DC has its “Red Son” alternate continuity where the major divergence point is Kal-El’s birthing matrix lands in Soviet territory rather than Kansas so there’s a Superman born and raised wholly believing in the idealized theoretical form of communism rather than an idealized version of the US, do could get the “Goku vs Superman” argument going


  • Was years ago when the game first came out, plus am a Gamepass subscriber now anyway so “officially” have a license (yadda yadda, subject to subscription running out or them deciding to drop a game they own from their catalog). But there’s always a chance I suppose


  • Bit of each for different people I suppose, but for most probably closer to the latter, most achievements being worth a multiple of five making ones that don’t stick out. Checking mine, currently ends in 4 so must have run into a game that did something like that at some point, but am not one of the people it bothers

    Not Steam, but interestingly some Microsoft published games will unlock Xbox achievements when pirated, presumably because they built the version sold on Steam to unlock achievements on both platforms. Pirated Psychonauts 2 and got the little under half you get on a casual non achievement hunting playthrough on my Xbox account

    I remember some games on Xbox did that in a way that fucked with people who liked to keep an even achievement score, award a nonstandard two point one for starting the game and lock the “corresponding” three point one behind something endgame with the rest being standard multiples of five or whatever


  • I was fucking with it about the axiom in the prompt that Trump won the 2020 election. Got it to give a list of which states who won with a running tally of electoral votes, confirmed that 306 was greater than 232, then it started insisting that Trump got the 306 despite previously saying Biden did (as aligns with reality). Obviously it didn’t actually understand any of that, but seems when the system prompt kind of works it treats it as a true statement no matter the evidence
