Did you hit your head? Do we need to call someone for you?

Almost like social sites arent monolithic, and different people can be outraged by different things!

Why is diversity bad? Shouldn’t we want multiple avenues, as long as competition is fair?

How long did it take them to make a shopping cart, one of the most basic necessities of a modern internet storefront? User experience has never been their priority.

“Amazon announces a cheap way to bank on an existing franchise”

I wonder if he ever made a game about driving Lady Di off a road with papparazzi…

No Man’s Sky has added thousands of generic resource gathering tasks by now!

I have tried playing it maybe half a dozen times and come to the same conclusion each time: “This is it?”

It’s a great game for wasting your time in the most banal tasks possible, but not much more.

She’s basically traumatized up until

I don’t think she ever really does value her appearance like you assume. At most she realizes there’s more to life than survival, whether it’s because of her beau or not. He’s just one aspect she finds in life to make it worth living.

His writing group all but started as a DnD campaign.

Or we could just enjoy them as they are and not try to capitalize on them with low effort garbage.

Unfortunately they also come with scurvy 😔

“Yeah, we’re gonna do this new fangled form of piracy. It’s like the old way, but without the boats and parrots and stuff. We’re just stealing stuff now.”

…Pirate hardware?

Based on what I’ve heard of the internal structure of Valve, there’s a good chance he’s helped foster enough an environment of “doing what you love” that it’d survive him retiring/dying. Maybe not forever, but at least for a long while after he’s gone.

I think I have it on every game system I have, unless they released an N64 version…

By that logic, no media exists (and also always exists) as it occupies a superposition of both being on and not being on physical media.

What the fuck are you talking about? It’s both digital media and physical media. They can not exist without each other. The only difference being that physical media bought in a store is permanently stored on its own medium… and considering we’re talking about permanent storage anyways… what difference would that make?

That’s still physical media, though. Just one you “create” yourself. You could say “This isn’t a hunk of plastic, therefore I’m not contributing to e-waste”… but that only matters if you decide to throw away the game after making a copy.

Drives still fail eventually, just like disks and cards.

Well, apparently in your opinion, money is the only way to have effective change in the world. Any other attempt to do so will fail miserably.

This explains so much why actual voting numbers are so poor in the US…

Such as? Perhaps if you specified on what they’re getting a pass for people could be a little less blind.

As long as that house exclusively uses Linux.

They’ve gotta save that supply to feed the AI bubble, though.

Using AI to maximize his profits without people criticizing him for it.

Indeed, but shoving Steam under the bus, instead of critiquing their “rivals” for their lack of consumer-friendly alternatives, when for the most part they’re just doing their best seems counterintuitive.

Indeed, I only play games generated by artificial brains grown in vats.

But pigs are cute :(

Why associate them with such a shit company?

He, like the that Microsoft suit, has just enough awareness to realize how AI is being thought of by the general public, and knows it would affect his bottom line. Which is really all he cares about.

Again, implying gross profit, not net. It didn’t say “makes” 50 million profit. You are inferring something that is not otherwise implied.

I don’t think it’s misleading, “generating” implies gross profit, not net. It’s not explicit, but it’s also not misleading.

A joke doesn’t have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.

Sorry, clearly you are far more knowledgeable about such things, despite having nothing more than I do to back it up. I apologize for contradicting your opinion on the internet, that was my bad.

Why does it have to be? It’s basically free money for them, whereas they have to make deals and curate their store front a lot more. Games take time and energy (if you don’t just want AI generated slop, at least), so to get that to market takes time. Whereas microtransaction garbage is basically hit it and quit it and generates insane amounts of money.

It has pools in it!

Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.

Yeah, it’s in the article.

If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.

Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

But… a video isnt real life. It’d be more like “I dont need a nature documentary because I have a book on nature”.

What does “vertically only so centered” mean?

Wow, even more horizontal white space for no reason!

I’m sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious…
