Porn fakes are old news, yes - but what the post you replied to is talking about is "deep learning" (remember that, before the great deluge of "AI"?) fakes, which to some extent either uses generative networks to swap out or alter the face/body, or straight up generate simulacra graphics/video, as opposed to a human doing for the most part comparatively bad hack jobs with multiple sources as in the past.

There's also this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJM198202113060613?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed

"In a person smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day, the radiation dose to the bronchial epithelium in areas of bifurcation is 8000 mrem per year -- the equivalent of the dose to the skin from 300 x-ray films of the chest per year. This figure is comparable to total-body exposure to natural background radiation containing 80 mrem per year in someone living in the Boston area."

8000 mrem is about 80 mSv. A lifetime of background radiation in a year, so quite high.

As said by others; see a physician, then a psychiatrist (in that order).

Auditory pseudo-hallucinations may be completely benign, especially if you've partaken in psychedelic substances recent or long since past, but they may also be an early warning sign of (like you said) potential pressure on the brain or abnormality in brain functioning.

And even that might be fine.

Either way, why gamble? Go see a doctor.

It seems like it'll actually be radically different, and there's no way it's coming out until like at least 2026.

As far as I know, a ton of stuff in the game is based on Spanish folklore etc as well.

Blasphemous.

Fantastic metroidvania meets soulslike game. The art style, the lore, the atmosphere, and by God - the music!

The combat is not super great, but it's capable enough for a metroidvania.

I haven't played the second one, I hear it's kinda hit and miss.

I do believe it's something like 300 per resident of the US per year, not specific residents with prescriptions. Just illustrating quantities, in other words.

Actually, I believe it might be worse than that, but I'm not looking it up, just tried to clarify.

I'm Swedish... A rich small country.

I didn't realize you were talking global median income, since it was not defined.

I don't know how great of a barometer for economics a luxury goods/service like a AAA video game is, though.

[-] kaosof@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Man, things are a LOT worse in the US than the media makes you believe if the median income is $2600 a year.

Constant crashing for me as well. Posting this from another client, Sync is just completely unusable for me atm.

I did not know (or even notice) that was the case. Does it really matter?

I like Mick, and the rest of those guys are like... Legendary douchebags, so who's surprised?
