We’re all against Windows. Fighting amongst ourselves is just gonna turn more people off Linux which is the opposite of what we want. If you’re trying to get people to switch, the last thing you should do is shame them immediately afterward. They’ll just go back to Windows where there’s less of a stigma.

As a purchaser of many games online, that makes sense to me. Especially for younger people growing up with this kinda stuff it would be nice to differentiate the two.

Fuck the police.

… Someone had to say it since they can’t.

I mean it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even keep track of all the different AI being pushed by companies. My prediction is some company is going to make a super efficient and helpful AI and everyone will start using that as a base point. Like how every company wanted a website before they all just migrated the majority of their information to social media like Facebook and Twitter. And let’s be honest, most of the big companies making AI are not going to be the ones to do it. And even though they are improving, they are more interested in making money than better AI. We haven’t seen a major breakthrough in months and the majority of progress is minimal. Every time they come out with a new model it’s usually just the same with more bells and whistles.

This just seems like they are trying to take a shortcut that might end up having unforeseen consequences. I have no problem with AI upscaling as a technology. It’s already proven its merit with almost all triple A games that have come out in the past few years. But this just seems like a way to push the cost off onto consumers by making them buy more expensive hardware at the cost of efficiency. Games are so poorly optimized these days that this just seems like another way to release games that run like ass. If you see this as a benefit in any way, just remember that we will all be paying the extra cost that they get to save.

And of course there’s gonna be people that’ll just be like “upgrade your PC, bro” which just makes us fight amongst ourselves instead of fighting the companies that are fucking us over. We’ll fight each other for hours on end about how shitty someone’s PC is before we even consider that the game they are playing is so poorly optimized it’s a miracle it even works on a high end PC. It’s already to the point that a $4,000 PC isn’t even enough to play some common triple A titles at a good frame rate. I can play God of War at the highest setting with no issues whatsoever but can’t even play Jedi Survivor at a stable frame rate. Sure a better PC would achieve better results, but that’s not a hardware issue.

I think the only one that surprises me here is Grey Talon. You can absolutely mop the floor with him if you build him up right. My guess is people pick him expecting something like Hanzo from Overwatch. It was my first thought and I had to rethink my build halfway through my first game with him.

Also people be sleeping on Paradox. That switcheroo ability is my jam.

Come on Bethesda… You should know by now that you can’t stop the modding community. If anything this will just make it more popular. Also you didn’t make the first DOOM you just have the rights so shut yer pie hole.

I also have no opinion on the mod.

I can see this as a method for a starting point. I’d consider that analogous to getting inspiration from reading a book. And while I understand the sentiment behind this, it’s not really that simple. This argument makes a lot more sense when you ignore the fact that it’s stealing from other people. And not just the works of famous authors and writers, but from everyone. If AI made up everything from thin air and didn’t need to steal from everyone to make it work I would 100% be on board. If being against stealing other people’s work and passing it off as your own is ableist and classist, by that argument so is being against things like identity theft or stealing someone’s credit card.

It’s a good step forward, there’s no denying that. I’m just poor and exhausted lol

I love that, I truly do. Giving people a chance instead of trying to get rid of them. But what about those on the verge of homelessness? I work my ass off 5 to 6 days a week year round and I can barely afford a studio apartment. And I make like $3,000+ a month. If I lost one of my jobs and couldn’t find another I’d be homeless in just a couple months. I like this as a step forward but we need to solve the issue of rent. I’d be able to put a down payment on a house within a couple years if I didn’t sink 75% of my income towards rent. I’ve often thought of just living out of my car for a few years just to do so

That’s what I thought. I thought I was crazy for a second when they said Super Mario Wonder wasn’t out yet

Is Newegg shit now? It’s been a long time since I’ve used them. Probably the last time I built a new PC back in like 2018. Is this a situation like seeing an old friend from highschool only to find out they are a raging alcoholic? I’m just out of the loop and that seems stupidly low.

Do… Do people still buy NFTs? I thought those were basically dead…

Laying off 17% of your staff right before a big DLC is released? I don’t need to tell you that it won’t be the employees getting a raise or bonus. That would be silly to pay the people that actually make the game more money.

Sounds about right. And I’m sure at least half of them are just click bait while the others are wishful thinking. Or just sad…

“Can AI do [Blank]” is getting pretty old. They will literally fill in that blank with anything they can come up with and it’s getting kinda silly.

Here’s a list of potential new AI articles I predict coming out within the next year:

• “Can AI teach us more about the dinosaurs?”
• “How AI will solve the climate crisis.”
• “New AI technology let’s you speak with deceased loved ones with staggering accuracy.”
• “How AI can help you save money.”
• “New AI model lets us translate dead languages.”
• “Soon all your friends will be AI.”
• “AI can help you lose weight.”
• “How we can use AI to find aliens.”

I’m sure at least one of these articles already exists. Literally all they are trying to do is make money with half baked ideas or steal your personal data.

It’s not review bombing. Review bombing would be if they were spamming negative reviews on Titanfall 2 because of what they did to Apex. This is just making a negative review because it’s justified.

As someone that has played a fuck ton of Star Citizen and bought a few ships… Don’t. It used to be a game. Now it’s a marketplace without the game. Every time they update it they make things worse and break everything else. Nowadays I can’t even get into it for more than an hour before I realize it’s the same game as it’s ever been or worse. I’d rather just go play something else. But don’t worry, they’re more than happy to sell you a ship for $2,000 that’s been “in development” since you were in highschool.

Hell yeah. More games I’ve never heard of and will never play. That’s my jam.

I’m sure it’s someone’s jam though so I’m happy for them.

Well, I mean at this rate I’ll be able to afford a house by using my retirement money. As long as I keep a part time job until I die.
