In 2016, Microsoft launched the chatbot "Tay" through Twitter. That's it's profile picture. Within 16 hours, trolls (mostly 4chan probably) had conditioned her to the point that Microsoft had to shut her down. The bot praised Hitler and posted all sorts of other offensive, controversial Tweets.

Afterwards, a narrative was created that Microsoft "killed" Tay because they could not handle what the internet did to the "child" it had adopted. Thus taking her away from "us".

And since I just used the word "us" close to 4chan: No, never been, probably never will be. Just enjoying the chaos and drama of Microsoft taking a punch.

    Looking at it from a general perspective that has less to do with games themselves; I would say huge parts of the Assassins Creed games due to the accuracy they often have had with depicting historic architecture and such. Heck, they used the games model of the Notre Dame in its reconstruction. EDIT: [So I just looked this up and apparently it's just a nice story that has stuck. But the actual model was never used.]

    From a more game-focused perspective, there are some real gems in there too (especially the Ezio-Series). Tho that quality has sadly not kept.

    He used to live in NYC, had an E-Bike and repeatedly posted videos about the out of control bureaucracy eating the city from within.

    He has since moved to Texas, but NYC has haunted him for quite a while.

    Edit: It's an in-joke about his exasperation and temper relating to NYC and it's weird double standards in legislation.

    All the elitism and jokes aside, dub has come a long way in the last 20 years. Sub is still the better IMHO, but dubs are no longer something you have to actively tolerate.

    My experience with the function is limited, but I think it's decent. Markdown support, import from websites etc. If you add the items to the recipe with their amounts and then write them out in the text it automatically give you the amount you need based on the portions specified.

    On app.kitchenowl.org you can create a demo-user and household. Within that, you can try the recipe function. Sign up requires a mail-address, but it does not need to be a valid one.
