You have an emotional reason to support them. Why should anyone listen to you about them if your views are emotionally tainted and your own standard requires detached judgement?

“Your opinion is not valid because you like, not dislike what I dislike” is what this sounds like.

Alright then, tell me which open world driving+action game is better than GTA or Cyberpunk? Which RPGs are better than Buldur’s gate, Elder scrolls and Kingdom Come? What other online shooters besides Battlefield, COD, Arma (besides those hero/competitive) are that popular and generally great? What about flight simulator? I’m sure there are indie studios beating Microsoft at that.

You cannot and will not convince me that AAA games are “middle of the road, mechanically stagnant”. AAA studios are literally the ones inventing new stuff and pushing the bar higher up, hence the increasing time between releases. From valve’s material rendering to real time lighting and ending with all kinds of misc things like TAA, texture tech, thousands of little mechanisms everyone now copies (especially from titles like Far Cry 3 that innovated alot). It has become incredibly hard to actually make a great AAA game, and logically that’s respectable for anyone who accomplishes this.

Granted, sometimes the companies behind those games are very questionable, but do you really care what happens at Samsung factory?

But you don’t need to secretly scratch your balls

I honestly don’t understand your point. Just because the games are larger, they’re worse? The things you describe are commonly not even in many indie games (Ie. Animations).

So your logic is that if the product is not 11/10, it’s shit? I’m sorry that you’ve had such a terrible experience, but personally some of the best games I’ve ever played in my life were AAA games and I’m glad companies made/make them, and I’m still looking forward to games like TESV6 or new Fallout.

Also, your “quality over quantity” at the end is so out of touch due to everyone complaining about how long it takes nowadays to make AAA games. New entries used to be made in a year or two-three, now we’re entering “wait a decade or two till we make the second game”. To me it appears you argue from emotions, something about this industry makes you mad, and you’re lashing out at the product itself.

There are many genuine thingst to be angry about, but generally saying AAA games suck? Yeah, no, on Reddit I’d say “redditors being out of touch with the world again”

Damn, I guess I’ll just delete GTA games, cyberpunk, Witcher, Skyrim and others because it was just marketing

It’s Youtube.

These are always illustrations based on whatever data we could gather. We almost never “see” the planets themselves.

To be fair, the article says this affects only end-of-life and unpatched devices. Having an outdated OpenWRT would also be dangerous.

I have Mikrotik router, this was fixed quite some time ago, my firmware is up to date, I don’t stress about this.

I must have missed the news of Iran-Israel ceasefire. Can you share your source?

EDIT: Note that US is a different country

I’m having a deja-vu because I remember this exact post from like a week ago and the second comment was exactly yours

If only switching was this fun

I think they meant that if US launches a nuke in Iran, this essentially sets a precedent that everyone else can now use nukes, including Russia in Ukraine. If that happens, we’re essentially entering a new era that might not last very long.

Jokes aside, by logic, isn’t pedophilia a controversial topics in US right now?

Just so you know what I meant:

What’s up with that body text? I assumed they’re always manually written by whoever submits the post

I’m seeing a pattern in that list

Not really. USA actually had a pretty good reputation after WW2 and before wars in ME. For quite some time, US actually looked like a good country.
