These price hikes could not have come at a worse time, not just in the sense of the general cash people have but in the sense that video games right now are straight up not interesting.
Good games are not being made anymore. Bloated "experiences" designed to keep you hooked and spending money are being made. I can't even accuse them of being casino games because that would more fun and interesting.
The rise in price comes at a time when we have virtually limitless backlogs of digital and physical games that are superb and high quality and indie games that get better and better. The price alone isn't the issue, it's the price and stagnation of game design
Not just the high payed software folks, but the data centers are also maintained by highly skilled and hard working techs. And this technology is only possible with constant pristine maintenance if the servers to train their models. They loathe these people just as much and can't wait to get humans out of the process
What's crazy is how fragile their ai ecosystem is. The tech requires insane scaling in the form of data centers. We've hit the Moore's law limit, this tech isn't getting better in and of itself, it just gets better by adding more tpus and servers.
They want slavery because ai taking jobs makes no economic sense and breaks labor theory of value. No human production means nothing has value. We are literally already seeing this with ai slop!
The humane solution is we get a society where that philosophy major actually gets to be a philosopher in a mostly post scarcity automated communist society... But that would mean these ghouls wouldn't be in power so now they're trying to tell us we need to go backwards in time to feudalism.
What an absolute fucking joke, their technology needs nationalized and given to the people, they belong in cages
Two things can't both be true? We're a corrupt hellhole but we're also a selfish corrupt hellhole. There is no reason other than money and blackmail for our corrupt elites to align themselves with a failing state like Russia
The only hope is when things take a turn, they take a turn in our favor. And I don't hold much hope for that, we've been at war and the rest of the country is pretending there isn't one
It annoys me that new trek got wrapped up in this discourse because my dislike of it is because of the image above
Old trek was super "woke" and optimistic, I see new trek as too focused on war and it paints the future as though they never achieved luxury space communism free of scarcity
Far more likely there is nothing in front of the ship and riker knows his ass is about to fire some consequence free lasers. He derives great pleasure from the reaction or lack of reaction of the crew on the bridge as he continues to chat about unrelated things
OOP missed the mark on this one. This is serene. Like you moved out either for the first time or transferred to a new city and brought only the things you love before you fill your house up with trash
I kinda don't care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough. They're allowed to be maga it just can't be without consequences
Why give money to bad people when you could support good people? It's a simple calculus. Remember it's not that they just so happen to be conservative, these are people who opted in to advertise that they are bad people.
This fact doesn't really invalidate the initial statement though.
We would not be experiencing what we are currently experiencing presently if the Dems won. This isn't an endorsement of the Dems, just reality
I view voting as a means to steer us to possibilities. Revolution and change won't come through the ballot box but who gets voted in can influence that one way or another.
That's why you make good products that people cannot resist buying. Too much boring slop out there right now

Speaking of, what's the open alternative to discord? If there is one that is

It all goes down if the data centers go down

All "I don't like cats" people become cat people the moment they get a cat
The rot is so deep global revolution is the only answer.
Europe needs to expel it's fascists
Huh...my favorites are all of the evils
They would rather everything, everyone die before giving a single stolen penny back to the people, even if that means they also die
