Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.

American tech giants are just one fascist cult.

Meaning Palantir also catalogs all your Discord chats.

Spotify lies as naturally as it squeezes musicians.

I like how IG Metall calls out Tesla‘s lie before the article doubles down and gives examples of what Tesla is also lying about including job cuts at the site. Which is a very easy thing to debunk I might add. Those numbers are public.

The games I fall out of love with are always online games. They are the type of games I spent my most time with. By far. They give me the highest highs but also the lowest lows.

So yeah, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft, League of Legends, you name it. Not even an Ocarina of Time or a Baldur‘s Gate 3 can come close to the fun I had in these games. But I still love the latter and not the former. Not anymore.

I still play online and co-op games that I very much enjoy but one day I will feel burned out by them too.

That‘s honestly less surprising or impressive than people using Death Stranding for that.

Most people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. You can see it in the polls everywhere.

It‘s so funny to me that Nexon is now known as the Arc Raiders owner. They threw money at Embark Studios and had nothing to do with development otherwise so don‘t expect anything great coming out of this.

That sounds more like the Discord I know.

Also the media landscape in Japan has become kind of a joke in recent years. Racism has definitely had an uptick since the pandemic like it had in many places.

I hate the home screen so much and that I can‘t customize it. It‘s basically just full of ads disguised as recommendations.

Intel is arguably worse. They‘re in a bad spot right now so they can‘t do crazy things like Nvidia but they totally would and will go down the same path. I don‘t think US designed hardware will ever truly come back to end consumer products.

Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more.

I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer.

It‘s sad to see they use the very tool that has become a true menace for anyone who wants to play games right now. There are so many aspects to it that put the entire concept of ownership at risk and they just use it nilly willy. I‘m not even surprised anymore but still so very disappointed.

So they invested like $100 billion in AI just for the stock price to slide down by 10%? And Jeff was already so excited for consumers and especially gamers to not own anything anymore.

We‘re talking about running MP3s on them, you know? Something that has been done on much smaller devices for well over 20 years.

And here I was ready to finally give VR a real go this year with the Steam Frame. It‘s probably not going to happen anymore.

Oh so they will actually not focus on GPUs as end consumer products for you and me. They’re just like Nvidia and AMD. This news really just shows how cooked gaming is.

The antithesis to what you and OP are describing would be The legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. But even fans of that formula are tired of it after 2 games in the series because as much freedom as it gives you, it‘s overwhelming.

I think what I‘m trying to say is that trends have cycles. They come and go. What you said is a valid opinion that I can kot possibly disagree with. However, these down sides become more apparent with time until we‘ve had enough and move on to the next thing. I am sure we‘ll remember most of those games fondly one day regardless. Nostalgia will kick in one day and we‘re able to look past the flaws again.
