They never will. Not with shorts. Not ever with AI.

Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.

I would have much more trust in their vision if the creative director did compare it to a deck-builder instead of more souls slop.

To be fair it‘s not clear to me whether the author of the article or the CD made that comparison but seeing how many huge and beloved IPs they‘re throwing around doesn‘t make me hopeful unfortunately. I‘d rather see them show off their (hopefully deep) understanding of the toolbox they‘re working with than dropping big names like Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate 3 or Darksouls.

Many people have been saying this for the last 3 years and I still think the bubble burst is as inevitable as a future economy that is entangled with AI. The overhype is obvious and a course correction kickstarted by a crash just a matter of time. The stock markets will have a very bad time before governments step in and waste our taxpayer money to give handouts to the super rich. But hey, at least big tech has to try regaining our trust and lie a little less obviously about their AI products for a while so it won‘t be all bad I guess? /s

And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.

All the shareholders of AI progressing companies should do this.

They know it‘s no use telling you all the things you know yourself deep down. No good advice will ever be anywhere near as effective as an idea from your own mind. And they‘re really trying to massage your brain towards having that idea. I think I got that from Inception and even though the older I get the more I think Nolan is kind of a hack, it‘s a good practice. Or at least I think so. I‘m no therapist after all.

Love the meme though. I get the frustration from just not moving forward but the best therapist I have ever had did just listen for about 90% of the time and Shared his own life experience for the other 10%. He was an older guy and he was absolutely fantastic.

Didn’t know about this. This is amazing.

For people who supposedly hate China and big government these MAGA fascist are trying to be a whole lot like the worst part of the Chinese Communist Party.

The old one got a little bit of stick drift after 7 years and I‘m using the new one for PC only probably. Weirdly enough it‘s not officially supported for that yet but there are already tools available to make it run so everything is good.

I just wanted to see what the new one was about since the first impressions were very good and I love the previous model. And I still have a (probably irrational but deeply rooted) dislike for 3rd party controllers. There were just too many crappy ones growing up. Maybe one day when the Switch 2 Pro gives up the ghost or I lose patience with it‘s odd feeling surface. Time will tell.

Amazing! The upper left quarter is essentially my childhood.

Oh they already do as of this week. But I am sure it‘s only temporary like last time and even then it‘s better than being served an ad. Google won‘t win this feud.

Such a shame but hardly a surprise. I love the Switch Pro controller and use it for PC games a lot. I think it’s probably my favorite one ever made even with it’s lousy sticks. It’s also easy to disassemble so you can clean it, replace the battery or simply replace the shell.

Sadly the Switch 2 pro controller isn’t only a gluey mess, it also has a much cheaper feeling to it. The surface on the plastic simply does not rest well in the hands and I bet scratches will look horrible too. It’s baffling because the old Pro controller is phenomenal in that regard. Nintendo kind of fumbled on that one in my opinion.

Point and laugh, everyone.

Bots in Fortnite are no secret but it really has gotten bad, huh? I remember trying the game out some years ago, was annoyed by the obvious bots in my games and never touched it again after one session. Things must’ve gotten more downhill since.

Unfortunately those are insanely cheap to operate for how effective they are. If anything they’ll invest even more in hacker groups and the like to generate income similar to the North Korean model. Though the Russian economy looks extremely dire. They can only keep up appearances for so long until inflation spirals out of control. A war economy needs meaningful military accomplishments to function and so far they’ve had none to really speak of. At least not compared to what they have to give up for it.

The sad part is this is actually his job description and Alphabet could get sued by shareholders if he didn‘t do exactly that. The stock market needs to be criminalized, not glorified as the one truth like it‘s treated right now.

Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.

In the end of the day Nintendo products are for casual gamers who only care about commercial material. It wouldn‘t even cross their minds to read reviews or discuss it outside their neoliberal Discord bubble. Emulating? How scary!

Besides, the Switch is a beloved system and many users waited for an upgrade for years. The Switch 2 is downwards compatible and able to give your older games a considerable performance boost. 90€ for new games just isn‘t enough of an argument to sit out this generation when you‘ve already spent thousands on games in the Nintendo ecosystem. The locked in effect is strong.

I am not very surprised by this but I sure as hell am glad I bought my Switch and and several games second hand for I‘m mostly a PC gamer.

And I wish they would tone down the hype. Maybe we can meet in the middle?
