B-b-but EA messed with my vidya games!

lol you’re undoubtedly right. I just wanna play some damn soccer video game

Yeah, I never thought I’d be cheering for FIFA, but I’m looking forward to them coming out with their EA fc competitor.

But really, which organization is actually worse? It’s a close fuckin race

Who said representatives

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but maybe they should release it. So we can really see what these nameless, faceless data giants are doing. Data brokers already list our home address, known affiliations, places of work, etc. that’s our personal info already out and being traded. Leak the shit. Let’s see what the 1,000th previously unknown company trading in private data is doing.

“Biggest global event” + Super Bowl (- World Cup?)

We had salad fingers

CDPR

Congo’s Democratic Publix Republic?

I mean, fuck the profitability. What about its massive toll on our already crumbling climate? What about its hallucinations that were told by the massively powerful companies (currently, anyway) to just not worry about? What about the promise of it “revolutionizing” industries (corporate speak for fucking workers in new and exciting ways), what about the paradigm solidifying nature of this tech that they keep lying to us about being a democratizing super tool?

Everything about this shit is trouble because of the world it was built into. This type of tech (even though most of its capabilities and uses are lies) in the hands of the people it’s in will only serve the rich and gobble up resources when we need to be scaling back our consumption. Instead, that endless investment is fueling our climate collapse.

Fuck this LLM bullshit. It’s not for us. It will only hurt us in this timeline.

It’s a great story, and one of my favorites—I’m still replaying it. But I think the best story ever told through a video game is RDR2. But those are my two favorite games, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

I don’t think that’s actually true. Have the metrics for what we consider poverty changed and adapted with inflation and the perfecting of corporate wealth hoarding? “Poverty” is an ambiguous term, and relative poverty is real. That doesn’t show in a standard-line “poverty” metric. What was considered “extreme poverty” is the lowest, but that’s people living on under $1.90/day. I couldn’t even find information on that metric being updated to reflect the current high inflation and profit-explosion landscape.

Also: if you technically pull people out of poverty by outsourcing to the lowest paying, least labor regulated parts of the world, is the fact that extreme poverty went away in those areas even a good thing?

Removed by mod

That should just tell you exactly what’s happening; different methods of profiting. They don’t worry about trying to improve online play because they have the ability to resell the same game every year. If other games could do that, they would.

Wasn’t she like 17 at the time

Let the death of Saburo Arasaka be a lesson to us all: even 150+ year old bastards can get choked the fuck out

“It’s remote if you’re connected to this same tin can on a string.”

These surgeons were moving fast, I can see it

Everybody was limb-fu cutting (hiya!)

Those cats were fast as lightning (hiya!)

Waymo offering human remains delivery services should death occur on your journey

Is that still true? Like, as in, updated in the past year-to-the-last-few-months? War (even though they’re not calling it war) is rising in many places.

What’s the need for private launch capabilities? Private = capitalist. I don’t see much good in capitalist ventures.
