What's New....?

Well, today’s off to a great start. (sarcasm) I called someone out on Reddit for using AI in a picture they claimed to photographed. Then I was presented some evidence after being dogpiled by people that it couldn’t be AI, so I revoked my comment and apologized. But then I still had a hunch….so I ran it through an “is it AI” filter and…:upside_down_face:

I knew it. Their whole account is fake too but people are being condescending to me and boosting this random person’s ego. Lesson learned, if you see AI don’t engage. Walk away and let people live in ignorance.

Love that HMF is adamantly against AI though, it’s refreshing to see a policy like that

That is more or less what Reddit is.

I loathe AI but I want to warn you that lead detection kits are more accurate than AI deduction software.

Ok, so, just after dinner, family tuned into the start of the 4-Nations Face-Off hockey tourney.

Canada Vs USA.

I’m sorry to say I don’t normally watch hockey, but
9 seconds into the game, 3 seperate fist fights break out. WTF???
Like, puck drops, players throw their gloves off and engage in fisticuffs-like boxing… 3 seperate times.

I dunno whether to be embarrassed (if we started it) or laugh (if they started it). Some real current USA vs Canada relations playing out on the ice. :laughing:

Hockey games have fight mechanics.

Well that escalated quickly… Usually Canada has to start losing to resort to fist fights.

Thanks to this post by @TheChicken I’ve decided to give Peacock a chance. Really enjoying it so far to start a completely fresh game, unlocking everything again (I know I could do this on Peacock manually without even playing it). Can’t wait to play everything else this server has to offer!

Holla! You all look good!

Any major news from the best part of the HMF?

Hey Johnny! How you doin’? Things kinda stay the same, the usual, at least for me. Presumably the best part of HMF you referred to are members here. Hope you and everyone are doing well too. :innocent:

As for something new to report, I am looking forward to play more racing games this year, though. Hopefully Tokyo Xtreme Racer will be released on PS5. And I can finally try out Forza Horizon 5 as well, I am really looking forward to it!

Someone reported my true achievement profile for “illegitimate achievement unlocks”. I looked at the report and they were all achievements I’ve unlocked during periods of my childhood where I inconsistently had Internet in my house.

So when I would reconnect on something like Xbox Live it would report as if I unlocked all these achievements during one set time.

I can’t get the idea of one would bother to report someone else’s achievement/trophy profile. I personally don’t even care about my own achievements/trophies anymore. Do they get jealous when seeing somebody else have more achievements than they do?

Anyway, I prefer to play games offline now. At least my console will register the timestamp whenever I get a trophy, then updating my profile when I reconnect to the Internet. I don’t know how old Xbox system works, but it should work mostly the same, I think.

This year will be a treasure to space entusiats, like myself. Did you known that February 2025 has 4 of each day of the week (4 Mondays, 4 Tuesdays, etc)? This only happens every 800 and something years!

Also did you know that it happens more oftenly than 800 years :man_facepalming: Jokes on me

On this day, 10 years ago, I started Tales from the Borderlands.

I think now is a good a time as any for a replay, eh?

Gonna play the 2K-republished version (that has an Episode 5 patch) …and heck it, I’ll also check out the 2K/Gearbox developed “sequel” New Tales… which I dread and have heard is a poor imitation of the first’s success.
