If AI ever reaches the point that it can produce a creative, fun game that feels worth playing - which I doubt, because you gotta have a soul to make art - then anyone can press that button. Why would people buy their game when they can get AI to make their own?
He's right, these people have shit the corporate bed.
Yeah, and it's all made up money and value. Capitalism seems to have reached the runaway diesel engine stage, where it ain't going to stop until we cut off its oxygen or it blows the fuck up.
I've known plenty of religious people who were pretty decent folk. But no-one who makes decisions that impact others should be letting their beliefs influence those decisions. I'd rather they rolled a fuckin dice.
Yeah that sounds like a classism thing. TBF we have the same shit here too, and I bet most countries do.
It's not entirely unreasonable either, I've lived almost all my life in inner city areas with all the problems they have. In fact, I've been part of the problem. I've been mugged, stabbed (crap stabbing, he wasn't really committed. But I still gave him my stuff lol), stalked, beaten, hassled cos of my race, all sorts of shit. TBF some - but not all - of that was because I was engaged with that inner city life as a junkie crackhead and occasional runner. Lived much of my life like that.
But underneath that, people make community. There's also lots of good people in those low income communities who will help you if you get in trouble, feed you if you're hungry, just generally look out for a fellow human. I've had a genuine friendship with at least one very scary person. Most people, if they're in their right minds, are pretty much okay.
I'd go so far as you say there's more genuine community in low income areas than there is in suburbia.
Obvs I don't know where you live and you would know much better than me what the risks are and what you're comfortable with. Not encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone.
And it feels kinda facile to say 'No war but the class war!' But it's also true that the wealthy want us to be scared of each other. They don't want us to build community. And that's one really good way of fighting back - just solidarity and acceptance with other people who might be different from us in one way or another.
Sorry mate, it's evening here and I just wrote a slightly drunken rant. But after all the shit I've seen, I feel like most people are generally pretty decent. And we gotta look out for each other.
It probably wasn't real crack, he was trying to rip you off with fake drugs. Real, decent crack sells itself - no need to approach strangers who could be an off duty cop. Not that this makes it any better lol
Yeah, it's kind of odd that Americans seem to be scared to have to interact with strangers. Internationally, the American stereotype is of being very friendly, the person who sits next to you on the bus and wants to have a conversation - which is sometimes a bit socially awkward in countries where we pretty much ignore each other. Maybe they're different abroad? Or maybe we shouldn't stereotype lol
Great, I've been meaning to play Witcher 3 for ages and it's nearly reached the top of my 'play next' list. Be nice if the remaster runs on steam deck.
I said I'd leave when they did that, and I did. Been here ever since. I think a bunch of people did the same.
There's a kinda sunk cost thingy to leaving Reddit, especially when you've been there like ten years and have loads of karma and awards and stuff. But really none of that means anything and it's not hard to walk away from.
Yeah, unfortunately countries do have to have armies. humans still are not really all that civilised when it comes down to it. I could be wrong, but I get the impression a lot of Americans do it for training and education they couldn't get elsewhere
What's wrong with coal, eh?
This is why companies should be worker owned cooperatives. Yes, management is a useful skill, and the workers can hire it.
Wishful thinking I know, but so much more sustainable.

I used to be a crackhead, I know their charming ways lol

I think it depends how rich you are.
Lol they kind of have a mutually assured destruction thing going.
I wonder how long until someone hacks one and goes on a murder-robot rampage. . ?
I did the same, and yeah, the Linux evangelism here got me too.

Yeah but ppl are on bluesky
I played it for the first time about a year ago and actually really enjoyed it. But yeah, it did feel like it could have been a bit shorter.
Did you mean bioshock 2 is better or infinite? Cos I've not played either yet.
The enemies are usually foreigners or aliens, so it's cool with them.
Yeah, unfortunately countries do have to have armies. humans still are not really all that civilised when it comes down to it. I could be wrong, but I get the impression a lot of Americans do it for training and education they couldn't get elsewhere
And when they get hacked, people will be able to do mass shootings from the comfort of their own homes. That's what I call progress!
