Jedi: Fallen Order is a souls-like set in the Star Wars universe. Frequently goes on sale for under 10 bucks these days.

I'd love to ride motorcycles with Deacon and Boozer from Days Gone and I don't even ride motorcycles IRL

In that case, is beef jerky just meat-based chips (crisps for the anglophiles)?

Basically, Musk is alleging is that they claimed this was a common practice when it was, in fact, extremely rare.

In his tweet about this he said that out of 5.5 **billion ** ad impressions that day, less than 50 were objectionable according to Media Matter's criteria. In other words, there was a 1 in 100 million chance that a normal user would randomly see something like this.

For comparison, the following things have about a 1 in a million chance of happening (i.e. are 100 times more likely):

  • flipping a coin 20 times, getting tails every single time
  • winning the PowerBall lottery if you buy six tickets a week for a year
  • a devastating earthquake occurring in Seattle within the next 5 hours

I just read the MM piece and it doesn't appear to make any specific claims about how frequently this might have happened, it merely says "We recently found ads for Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity, and IBM next to posts that tout Hitler and his Nazi Party on X." and that "X has been placing ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content." which does indeed appear to be factual since it makes no claims about frequency, so I guess we'll see if the court is convinced that it was defamatory. It certainly seems to be the truth, but not the whole truth.

If it turns out they really DID have to create 100 million page views in order to find a single questionable ad placement, and they failed to mention that, you could make the case that they were intentionally trying to hurt his business.

Yes, I believe that's the allegation made in the lawsuit, that they intentionally manipulated the algorithm in order to engineer this ad placement.

Days Gone. It's basically a biker road movie set in a zombie apocalypse scenario playing out in rural Oregon. Strong story, beautiful graphics, and a healthy balance between scavenging/exploration and fighting.

If that's still too violent, maybe the Hitman series. That's basically 95% exploration / problem solving because you have to spend most of your time figuring out how to get close enough to your target so you can eliminate them without causing too much of a stir.

Also Deus Ex Human Revolution or Mankind Divided, for similar reasons. You're pretty much always outnumbered and outgunned so you have figure out how to get around and complete your objectives without being detected and only pick your fights sparingly.

They were already monetizing your data, just like websites were already using cookies to track you before the EU made it mandatory to inform visitors about this.

Unless you audited the code or encrypted the files yourself, I wouldn't trust it.

I was good at math and bad with people.

But it was the Democrats who orchestrated and approved it.
