If someone says we you can assume its probably an american. We tend to assume we are the world.

I just stopped being able to enjoy them. Sbmm is just dark patterns to try to manipulate you into buying money in their store fronts. Which are now designed before the actual game.

Games as a service is just straight up a gift shop that you hang out in and sometimes play a few rounds of games.

All the fun is sucked out of it when I have to do my dailies, and click out on more pop ups that I ever remembered existing in the late 90’s trying to find porn on a free aol disks worth of internet.

Its not like they even can stop cheaters anyways.

Also I’m not sure playing on consoles will help you with privacy concerns. It will help with the cheaters issue though.

I think its weird that games are essentially weapons now. Weird how we are suddenly against Chinese game companies like tencent due to security issues.

Game companies legit are abusing their power to crash “hackers” in their games when they are using cheating hardware. And the companies can do that because the malware slotmachine games as a service, have ring 0 kernal access to your PC.

Yet its weird we are okay with Saudis owning malware and potentially abusing that.

Yeah I don’t want malware on steam either. Even if I do take a slight enjoyment knowing he ruined some crypto bros day.

The CIA said mlk had gay boy lovers and threw gay swinger parties before they ended up killing him you idiot.

Now there is Ai that does that for the likes of peter thiel. You go out there and be the next MLK if that’s what you want to happen to you.

I don’t know what kind of world you live in the believe that. Have you ever have to fight a entity at the scale these big tech companies can afford?

You’re going to go broke and they will stall you harass you and send you endless frivolous claims to the point you cannot do anything. Even worse is they have enough money where the courts and cops are on their side.

When its over half of them, and the other half are literal natzis from south Africa or have some other kind of weird racist origin I think its pretty safe to say all of them.

Not to mention ALL of the major tech and ai companies have installed someone from unit 8200.

Its not in bad faith when the list of “good” tech ceos is under a handful.

What do you think people have been trying to do to reach the point of turning to violence.

You think that was their first option? You think its so easy then you go out there and put your money where your mouth is. I wana see you get clubbed in the head by a cop, or shot with rubber bullets point blank and pepper sprayed in the eyes. Go ahead tell me how that works out. You’re a useless idiot.

First show me where I said we should ban them.

Second:

If you where to leave a loaded gun out on the table, and someone where to steal it off your table you would also be held liable for the crime because it wasn’t locked away in a gun safe unloaded.

LLMs are the equivalent of handing out a loaded gun to everyone for free, even if they adamantly don’t want one. People like Sam Altmann and elon musk who keep pushing for this garbage to be your therapist and the only way to interact with life should face serious consequences like life in prison, and the companies they run should get a fine that’s impossibly large to pay off just like how infowars got a 500billion dollar fine. Info wars and chatgpt are pretty much the same product.

The LLMS convinced maybe 15+ kids to kill themselves. Claude told the us goverment to bomb a kids school.

I mean you’re kind of splitting hairs on what kind of child murder the LLMs are enabling.

They’ve legitimately have done this same song and dance like 3 times already. Like 2012ish erra they canceled a facial recognition thing they said they didnt have due to backlash. Their whole auto facial tagging system was another one.

Now they are contributing to ai segmentation tools that focus on seperating your face so it can be used in nonconsentual ai porn that they have no way of stopping.

I don’t even know what one they are referencing in this article but they are always working on facial recognition for some reason. If you are on facebook or any of the meta services you are going to be used in their ai to generate porn, or stupid memes you don’t want to be associated with.

I think my Intel nuk was 700 dollars after I bought all the parts for it l, it was primairly for battlefield 4, and minecraft, and it ran worse than it did on the ps3.

Maybe with inflation you can say its similar price to performance of steam machine. But there has definately always been idiots like me who like form factor.

I’m still not getting one unless its barebones for ~550 USD, but I’m the type of person who wants one.

I am not unless it comes in a barebones kit like my old Intel nuk when bf 3 or 4 was new.

Your hearts in the right place, but you give them a inch and they’ll take a mile.

You have to have an absolute stance on things when you make statements online just to match our discontent so the message is clear.

They’re going to be trying to weasle in regardless, so it’s not productive to assist them in any form. You just have to say a hard no regardless.

Also any messaging thats longer than a sentence and provides context goes straight in one ear and out the other. Make it simple stupid and make it repeatable.

Theres a github program that let’s you download your Spotify music as a list that you can concert into a YouTube playlist, then you just download the YouTube videos as mp3’s.

A lot the music I listen to isnt even on Spotify but that YouTube video I found 10+ years ago still is.

In a place like this sure. Ironically though you don’t want to appeal to people who will have a discussion. Something like memes holds a thousands different meanings in the right context, and your brain picks up on that instantly.

The people who would never engage can get a distilled version of a 10 paragraph response from a meme, so when they do finally read a long opinionated article or comment, the memes they absorbed have already influenced them to a specific bias.

I believe we need more memes (NIMBY) on reddit, and to relentlessly make fun of our opposition to the point of it becoming a culture. The gamergate era Republicans are literally using the same exact arguments that they where trained to get triggered at 15 years ago. We need to be creating the equivalent of that.

From the thumbnail it looked like morrowind on openmw, or with the graphics overhaul mod.

Also thought the flag was the imperial flag.

The progress that the steam frame will bring is more important than the steam frame itself.

The work they put into aarch64 will be really helpful for laptops, and potentially mobile devices. I am really hoping that for mobile phones, becauase the community that came from the steam decks popularity really made more community gaming focused fixes, and programs show up on github. There was life and hope that kind of encourages more people to give a shit or contribute to a community because they believe there is a community.

Fex is going to be the most important. Right now fex can be utilized to play red dead 2 at 720p 60fps on a midrange pocco phone. And that was from months ago when I last checked on progress. Even if we aren’t directly using arch on arm phones, fex itself can be used on Android which is still helpful.

I just don’t want to be reminded of my past stupidity, and anything you feel “connected” with someone or something to the point of tattooing it on yourself its usually coming from a place of pure emotion or a thing of faith.

Also I don’t want to help the corniner identify my corpse. When I go out I want to be known as “pressumed dead.”

I can only assume thats just the nature of it then.
