In the Netherlands I would switch to bike. Here (kraut), not so much. And public transport is a nasty nightmare. Nah, car it is!

No? Microsoft, x, meta, apple, every "ai"-company, every "modern" car-company, big oil, Samsung and the others, ....

Wouldn't work there, even if I had to.

Anectodally, once, when I still worked sometimes, I had the main-admin job at a very major nonprofit that aims to cure (some disease). Quit after a month of seeing how this monster worked. It was made to amass billions, the cellar was full of old people's precious inheritance that was talked outta them by a whole floor of lawyers. And 0.2% actually went into curing the thing. While the ceos went home with 6figures starting with a 3, Audi r8s and unlimited budget for "business meetings".

Noone cared. Noone. I was shocked by the ignorance.

Blaming consumers for AI doesn't truly track to me when these companies feed into each other's profits like some kind of snake of Ouroborus. Gamers never asked for ai. Games just became another place where ai is (unfortunately).

But this is exactly what you get for "not caring for anything but raw performance and features". You get features that noone asked for and especially features that'll bind you into their ecosystem. They tried since forever. Hairfx, physx and now dlss/"ai".

You're right though, I might sadly add. People don't care. 5090 is fastest? Then 5090 it'll be.

You know what's funny? People who ask such childish questions "why u like video games (music)?" Instantly stop finding that weird when they find out you're not a cavedweller but make more a month than they do in a year with basically no work at all. Suddenly it's "artsy" and you're "classy" or at worst "eccentric".

Moral of the story? Fuck those facebook-gremlins and their parroted "opinion". Do what you love. I'm >50 and game like a maniac. And if someone dumdum looks down on Mr because "that's for kids!" I just grin and game harder. Be adult elsewhere...

True. I had a bag of marbles e.g. greatest toy ever. Had uncountable amounts of fun with those stupid ass things. Probably did cost 2 moneyz.

Today kids need a Lego transformer xxl ultra deluxe for 199,99 that is awesome for half a day then collects dust and inspires boredom.
