Unexpected factorial.

Hard to say, but I would think Minecraft (over the last decade) then Factorio. If we’re factoring in games from when I was younger then it’s certainly COD followed by Halo then Gran Turismo.

Thanks for sharing your experience in this world.

Do you have any idea what changed over that time to make the game evolve to lose that sense of community?

Is it a numbers thing in that it got so large it became more difficult to build longstanding communities? Or something else.

I’m just very interested in this now.

That was sad, heartwarming, and inspiring.

I’ve never been into RPGs and didn’t really understand the appeal. I now regret missing out on the communities that these games can seemingly foster. I was more into Minecraft on my own, which allowed me to escape but the loneliness was probably made worse and thus any low mood that followed.

Really glad I went against my initial instinct that I wouldn’t enjoy this programme as it was really well made.

Fair enough.

For what it’s worth if you’re happy with anti-cheat at the kernel level then crack on. If I don’t trust corporations with that level of access then that’s also fine.

This isn’t something I would ever install in my system and the two games I play Minecraft and Factorio both don’t have this issue so I’m not missing out by not playing COD 8928384 or whatever popular games use this.

You care enough to reply again.

Not enough observation to read this room aye.

You speak for an entire demographic. How do you get that role?

Naive would be a better adjective than dumb, imo.

Right. The two games I play the most are Minecraft and Factorio. Both not amazing graphically but they’re fun.

😞

Fair point.

Who is making all those pc parts? It wouldn’t be corporations would it.

Yeah they choose where they work at the end of the day.

I’m a software developer and I would never work for a gambling company, even for double money for the same work. It’s just not something I would be cool with.

Lemmy is pretty biased and has unrealistic expectations. Like people here still think Reddit going to die, when the fact is we left over the API incident but we’re in the minority and the majority of people don’t care.

I can’t stand X or Elon, but it would be silly to not look at things objectively.

Thanks.

I guess if I get one I can say “I use Arch btw”.

I keep looking at SteamDecks but can’t pull the trigger.

Besides gaming what can you do with it? Like can I browse the darkweb on the go? Does it have regular PC functionality?

Thanks ill Google it.

NAS is Network Attached Storage. Typically a rack of drives connected to the network.

Piracy is interesting. Are the HDD replaceable. Could you add a NAS.

Best uses of a jailbroken one?

Nope. I too don’t use my own DOB but I’ll tend to keep the range correct. Maybe I should start going older.

When it appears the OG user is 150 years old.

If you’ve got a glass phone without a case or insurance then you kinda running this risk.

I hate insurance, but on a phone I’ll take AppleCare. Once it’s getting towards the end I purposely wreck the phone off a wall and get brand new (refurbished to new standard) one. Then I sell that and upgrade again.

No. I mean someone with ethics and morals and just wants to sell something for a single price and be done.

There’s a reason Minecraft and Factorio get a lot of love. It’s because you pay once and you’re done. Yet they still make new things. Although Mojang is going that way.

If you’re 1-2 bad games away from going bust then perhaps make better games.

Isn’t the premise of capitalism, that if you fail then someone better will take over you. Let them fail.

Would be swell if you were to elaborate, you know and perhaps contribute.

Enshittification isn’t because people are not using their services. It’s because the growth isn’t happening at the rates they’re used to so they can either spend more money improving the product, or make it shit for the current customers to make more money.

They are all greedy suits as growth is the only metric they’re interested in.

That aside I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here fam.

Dude for every one of us there are 19 others that will introduce the children.

Same view as those thinking Reddit would die when we all came here.

I like to make the choices I do on moral grounds, not hoping for death to a company, it’s how I sleep at night. Does me never shopping on Amazon affect them? Nope. Do I feel better for not giving them my money. Yes.

All we can do is be the best person we want and nothing more.

I actually can’t believe this is coming from a high level employee at a corporation.

Like we all know this is true, but isn’t it big to hear one of them talking about the insanity of the system.

How is it judgy?

The fact is most humans couldn’t set up a server.

Most humans couldn’t repair a car.

Most humans couldn’t perform an angioplasty.

Most humans can’t play football at the professional level.

You’re fake!
