It’s probably because you’re calling people of 60+ ‘very old’, I’d tell you to piss off too! That might feel along way to you now, but age has a funny way of creeping up on you (I’m not ‘that’ old, but closer than you , going by your comments).

But to answer your question more seriously, one reason is likely that we’ve gone from a society that was generally positive & helped each other (in a local sense), to constant negative news via the mass media & social media, & I think it just grinds a lot of people down, especially those that remember the ‘before’ times. But if you focus on the good things in life, often again at a more local level, life can generally be good(ish) for most people (unless you’re being savagely attacked by an oppressive force, as seems to sadly be getting more common around the world 🙁).

Funny how the US diverted 20k drones from Ukraine to the Middle East recently, wonder where they will end up…

The coffee is good these days so you don’t have to drink tea, & cheese on toast with beans is amazing (has to be cheddar or something with some zing to it!), maybe a little onion or something grilled in with the cheese.

While I agree it’s better to use real voice actors in most acting & pre-recorded situations, the audio is dynamically generated on the fly in Fortnite Darth, it’s all AI responses, including referring to you by the name of your skin/character you happen to be playing as.

I’m not sure how that could work with a pre-recorded actor, unless they program a whole AI vocal off them which while possible is a much bigger undertaking I believe?

Had a go with it today, & it was quite fun & novel, especially how it refers to you by name & asks some specific questions on things you’re doing in game at that moment, & responds to questions you ask it in a relatively good if simple/limited way. It’s obviously a fairly basic implementation so far, but this is likely the beginning of a lot of in game NPC character content whether we like it or not…

Firebricks are well worth the price, at the very least they shouldn’t explode on you randomly. Mate built a dome pizza oven out of them & it was amazing.

I might if they paid me…but I’d crash it into another (empty) one, then that’s 2 off the road…
