We have become a society of docile creatures programmed to obey. When I was in school the school yard itself was far more dangerous than anything online ever could be. Sure, there are predators, but if you were in school prior to the past two decades school yard bullies probably did far more damage than the internet has done to youth today.

You can throw forth tons of sad stories with victims, but it hardly justifies the violence used by government to restrain companies and curtail the free speech rights of young people.

It's time to stop treating kids like they're owned no different from an animal or family pet. Kids should NOT be slaves of a sick twisted class of adult.

Kids should not be forced to swipe IDs to buy lunch, humans shouldn't be forced to swipe plastic to get into national parks, and those of us still alive need to take a stand and put some skin in the game in taking a stand against that which is the most violent to us all: Government, including government schooling.

Apparently the voice actor for Sheen from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron passed away today.

Planet Sheen was a shitty spinoff but I really liked the original show for it's sometimes entertaining moments. Like the episode where the town becomes addicted to Jimmy's candy.

:f:

Trades jobs are good paying and "low skill/entry level." A few lawn care clients can pay a good amount.

Also he should talk to the local churches. I won't lie, some are caught up in themselves and may not even try to help. But there will be at least one that will.

If he is close to any business district, window cleaning is cheap to start and you can get $10-40 per store front. A few a day and that's a days pay.

>Really surprising that RWS is still around, considering what little output they've had since POSTAL 2 has been bad.

I can only assume that Postal 2 has attracted new players over the years as people are looking for games that aren't afraid of being "politically incorrect", and that's what's keeping RWS afloat all these years.

The game is often recommended by YouTubers like SyntheticMan and on imageboards when people ask for good Western games or offensive games.

@beardalaxy It turns out that they probably were using AI. The dev team used outside artists and perhaps they were using AI as a shortcut, at least in the trailer. They claim the in-game assets were legitimate.

However the controversy was so bad that they closed down the studio. That must really suck.

It looks like RWS was planning on publishing some Postal spin-off game but later pulled the plug because of accusations of the game using AI generated assets, despite there being no proof and the only evidence is the art-style giving the vibe and the appearance of a triple-barrel shotgun.

I personally think the game looks garbage either way because it looks like someone put pixelshit billboards in the Unity engine, but I can't tell if it's AI generated or not. If it is AI generated then I'm pretty sure it was an image to image conversion which to me used enough human input to not be considered "slop", but I don't know what other people think.

The anti-AI crowd can be a bit extreme to the point where even the use of AI filters is enough to call for boycotts. And personally, I think AI slop is 100x better than "asset flipper" slop because at least AI will produce something that is somewhat original, even if it is using data from other works.
