I Am a Stranger Things Kid and I Believe in Monsters and Stuff but Not That Girls Can Play Video Gam

It's me, one of those cute Stranger Things kids. But none of it is as crazy to me as the idea that a girl - yes, that's right, a girl - might be interested in playing video games. That is a bridge too far, and I will not ride my bike across it. Hope he's not possessed by an alien or something!.Hi Racist Person,I am sure you are currently overwhelmed with the public reaction to that video of you being racist, and you wo not even read this letter. Come on, girl!When you see a little girl selling water bottles, keep walking. You do not need any background knowledge in video making to create a nice video. The third step involves choosing a music for your slideshows.

It's me, one of those cute Stranger Things kids. In the last year, I have seen some real messed up shit: One of my best friends was captured by some kind of lizard monster and taken to a place called the Upside Down, a different dimension that was my town but also not my town. My friend's mom lost it, we met a girl named Eleven who seemingly can bend time and space, and some other girl died - but I guess I do not really care about the last thing. It all sounds pretty crazy, right? But none of it is as crazy to me as the idea that a girl - yes, that's right, a girl - might be interested in playing video games. That is a bridge too far, and I will not ride my bike across it. There are a few things I understand to be true: I love my friends even though we fight, friends do not lie, and girls do not play video games. Girls are either mostly mute like Eleven or girly, goody two-shoes like Nancy. Since I've never met a girl who likes the same things as me, I refuse believe that one could exist. Sure, there's a new girl in town named Max who happened to get here just as there was a new high score on the Dig Dug machine, but I will believe that it's Max who got that score when pigs fly - which is not a thing that has happened in my town yet. I would like to think I have an open mind. You could tell me that ghosts walk amongst us and I would believe you. My entire neighborhood is probably built on top of a very large Indian burial ground. Of course Area 51 exists and the government is lying to us. But we all know that there are girl things and there are boy things. I do not make the rules, but I do love them and I follow them both in my real life and during endless Dungeons & Dragons games. Video games are a boy thing. Girl things are Eggos and trying to decide which boy you should date - Steve or Jonathan. There might be other girl things, but I've only spoken to two girls in my life so far. Older girls are moms, and they like crying and Christmas lights, but definitely not video games.Next thing I know, you are going to try to tell me that there are girls who like Ghostbusters, or even boys who like girl stuff. Or, let me guess - that boys and girls can be friends without developing romantic feelings for each other! Haha. That's a pretty funny idea. Anyway, I have to go. My friend Will just got back from the Upside Down and he's acting super weird. Hope he's not possessed by an alien or something!.

Open Letter To That Racist Person From That Video

Hi Racist Person,I am sure you are currently overwhelmed with the public reaction to that video of you being racist, and you wo not even read this letter. But on the small chance that you do: what the fuck, brah?I am not going to waste my breath explaining to you that the people you hate are, well, people. That's not what I am trying to do here. I am tired of that and you are clearly not going to listen. So I am just going to ask you something. Why? Why say these things when you know it will come back to haunt you? Why do it? Is your insatiable need to put down others greater than your instinct of self-preservation? Like, why?Just shut up. Shut your mouth hole. Just be quiet. It's not that hard. It's what you used to do before Trump was president! Just go back to a time when you were not as emboldened.When you see a Latino person doing their job, just keep walking! You do not need to stop what you are doing and go yell at them to go back to Mexico. No one is making you do this. Also chances are they are not even from Mexico. There's a whole list of other countries to choose from but that's not the point, Karen! Karen, look at me! You could lose your job when that video is posted! What are your kids going to eat, Karen? Come on, girl!When you see a little girl selling water bottles, keep walking. She's selling water bottles, for Christ's sake. You do not need to call the cops! Like, what do you even get out of that, other than your business crumbling? You big dumb dummy!And Jesus Christ, if you have a successful career in a competitive field, do not ruin your life just to yell at some people speaking Spanish in a restaurant! Jeez! Like, you've worked so hard! What is wrong with you? Seriously! What is wrong with you? I am like, concerned for you hateful assholes.All I know is that if one of you dummies comes up to me or one of my loved ones and starts saying some racist shit, I will expose you. I wo not like it, but I will do it. It is my right as a Latina woman and as an iPhone owner (because like, who even cares if you film an injustice with an Android). Just do not do it, okay? I do not wanna deal with it. Spare me the headache, Karen.Just shut. Your. Mouths. It's not that hard!Love,EllieP.S. Seriously? She sold marijuana for dogs and called the cops on a child selling water? Like... I need to lie down

5 Reasons Why Video Calls Are Stressful

I do not know what the future will look like but I certainly hope it will involve fewer video calls. As a communicator, a photographer and a former journalist, I am used to interacting with several people in a day. A day without at least 2 meetings and a handful of calls is something I cannot even imagine. While travelling to these meetings can be physically exhausting, soon after we went into the lockdown, we realized that video calls can be equally tiring - especially when you are working from home.When we went into a lockdown (In India), video calls became the norm. Initially, it helped alleviate the sense of isolation. However, as the days went by, and every call had to be a video call, it became a bit of a problem and a source of anxiety for many.Combined with the anxiety of living in the midst of a pandemic, the video call fatigue is very real. What makes it so tiring?It is like being on stage, where all the attention is on you. For those of us who are not used to being on camera, this creates anxiety on how you behave, how you look.It is like sitting in front of a mirror with a bunch of other people while talking something series. You are more conscious of your expressions, thereby of what you are saying. A lot of people spend time looking at their own expressions being reflected back on the screen and trying to control how they are supposed to appear (Admit it! You spend quite a bit of time on video chats looking at yourself instead of the others!).You feel like you need to stare into the screen just to so others know that you are paying attention. Screen fatigue is real!Technical IssuesTechnical issues are the norm - the network disconnects, or there is a lag. But the delay in transmission of voice causes anxiety - are we still connected? Did we offend the other person? Is it just a tech malfunction or why does the person sound like Darth Vader? Is it actually Darth Vader? Do I sound like Darth Vader?Too many people talking at the same time!Any video call with more than 3 people is bound to have endless confusion. People talking over each other, issues with microphone and video just add to the chaos.We evaluated many video calls and realised there was really no reason for the camera to be on. In fact, many of these could have been emails!As we figure out the 'new normal', we probably need to rethink what calls really need video and what works with just voice

How Artificial Intelligence are used in Video Games

What is the first thing you think of, when you hear the someone say Artificial Intelligence or the word AI? A group of robots taking over the world? A super intelligent robot or computer that is superior to mankind? The terminator? Well, it emphasizes the creation of machines that think and learn.By definition, artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or program to think and learn. It's idea revolves around building machines that act and learn from humans to be like humans. The ability to learn and think should allow AI to mimic human thoughts and behaviors as well as to think rationally, ethically, and intelligently. That is the result of AI being capable of interacting with their environment and being able to act upon it in a human way.With what the AI are capable of, would you think of the same think when you hear artificial intelligence used in video games? In video games, it's used to determine the behavior of non-playable characters or NPCs. These guys are used for any reason at all, plot device, assistance, or just part of the game. The behavior of the NPC can range from simple actions to being an opponent in a chess program that are able to go up against human players.The thing about how AI are used in video games is that the NPCs are not actually learning from the players who are playing. They are learning to act or react in a way depending on the scenario as compared to an AI that is learning to beat someone in a chess game. An example would be IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer that was developed to play chess and defeated the grand champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.So can a AI play a video game better than we can? Would they perform better than us in a way we expect or no? According to a bunch of researchers trying to teach an AI to play Sonic the Hedgehog as part of The OpenAI Retro Contest, the results are quite strange. The AI was told to increase its score through a gameplay. So that means collecting rings, defeating enemies while beating each level with the fastest time possible. While any other player would go through each level over and over to beat their time, the AI instead glitches through the game by going through the walls in one of the zones. In the end, the AI discovered shortcuts to reach its goal without understanding the concept of the game which was the opposite of what the researchers intended. This is why they can never think the same as we do
