No, he’s right. They really should have gone the animated route. Imagine studio Ghibli making a Zelda movie based off of a Link to the past. That would go so fucking hard

No no no no you misunderstand

Bottoms are women

8bitdo d-pad is very clicky and defined

I haven’t booted up OBS in a few months now. It would be too much work for me to do. Make my hair look nice, make sure my lighting setup is just right, clean my room, set up my camera angle and then make sure that everything on stream is appropriate. Not copyrighted and all that stuff.

I think about it sometimes, but ultimately I might end up just doing it for fun on a self-hosted stream or something like that if I ever have time. I’ve been on a whole own my own digital footprint kick lately.

I’ve actually attempted live streaming. It totally sucks the joy out of sitting in front of a computer and zoning out playing your game. You start to go “Oh no I can’t play this game cuz I’m playing it on stream.”

I wasn’t majorly successful but I still made affiliate and had some regular watchers. The pressure to create content and be entertaining and stay engaged was too much for me and continue doing it all for the paltry sums that I was getting.

I could also feel the pressure to become someone I’m not to reach more people. Something I refused to do. In the end though I made enough money streaming to make up for all the equipment I bought for it. I ran out of real time to stream when I got a new job that demanded more time from me. I am making so much more money so much faster by just clocking in and out every day and i feel like I’m building my skills in the field I’m in instead of making me hate my entertainment options.

That’s a heart? I thought she was doing a Mr. Burns

I’m putting on my tin foil hat here to say that this could be another propaganda technique.

You front load the data you want the smooth brains to absorb and then on the back end you explain why this article has a reason to be shared around to everybody who is sane. Smooth brains and the people they want to control will only read the title and the base knowledge that the article is getting across appealing to their base emotions and fears furthering the point that the publisher is trying to propagandize.

“Smarter” people will read the whole thing and read the back part of the article, which says that this is actually an “anti-age verification article” So you share it to social media to try to prove your own point. But all the smooth brains only see the front loaded point.

So in a way, creating an article like this is more likely to be shared by more people and then the hidden point of age verification is front loaded and the criticisms against it are hidden behind too many paragraphs for most.

Arstechica is a captured media site owned by Condé Naste who not only published “The Art of The Deal” they also are anti-union, pro Iseal, and they are partially responsible for this current radicalization of america through their many publications.

They recently fired several people from Teen Vogue for their political opinions and Union organization.

This is an entity which likes to appear impartial but definitely is pushing an agenda.

Anyway i have to take my tinfoil hat off to play beat saber now. This is all speculation

If you weren’t fucking murdered from the whiplash of not having any crumple zones absorbing the impact. Then you would surely die of your insurance going absolutely through the roof for driving a fucking car from the '70s and getting into an accident

He donates sometimes not super often. Definitely not a big philanthropist in that way.

But he does fund ocean research. So that’s cool.

I want more realistic enemy behaviors in general. Most animal enemies in games react exactly the same. Roar, run at you, bite.

It’d be great if in for example Skyrim, instead of the wolves just beelining straight for you. They were howling and running alongside you in the woods. Stalking you and waiting for the chance for the whole group to strike at once. If you try to go for the wolves, the ones you run after would distract you while the others try to get you in the back. It could be exhilarating but no, we’ve just decided to make games fucking boring I guess

It used to be a lot more viable to publish a multiplayer title and have a good player base. Nowadays, player bases have been captured by large live service models. Games like tremulous where you essentially play as an alien ant and gain points by building buildings and killing human soldiers to evolve into a bigger aliens. There was also the human Marine team who basically played like starcraft Marines.

It was essentially first person team-based starcraft. And it was amazing. And nobody’s playing this shit anymore. It’s kind of a shame.

Iphone $800 Ford F350 $45,000

A year of average US rent $25,000 which you have to keep paying every year and it goes up AT LEAST 8% every year.

The truck will let you pay it off over 5 years so your monthly payments would be like 750. Not nothing for sure but still not even half of rent.

I was going to make a joke about how I wanted a Jurassic Park movie but with AI because this comic mimics the quote from Jeff goldblum. But then I remember that Westworld already exists

Ironically cutting him out of the movies like this sort of adds to his mythology

I don’t even think Google has a search Monopoly. They might have a maps Monopoly. But even Apple competes with them pretty heavily on that. (Before I’m personally given my own goddamn cross to hang from, I hate google)

Yeah I think the joke is that these are actually all CIS men

Censorship on my Lemmy? It’s more likely than you think

It’s not his job to feed the world either. That’s our goddamn government’s job. He puts money where he wants. That’s the system we live under and we can fix that and change it but until we do denigrating this one man out of all the evil billionaires is kind of strange.

He also funds a Marine research facility that maps the ocean floor and gives scientists access to deep sea diving tools and submarines. He donates to charity occasionally, to the tune of hundreds of thousands to millions. What have you done other than complain on the internet?

You need to understand the propaganda machine’s in full swing. There are enemies online that pretend to be your allies and they slowly turn your opinions. You’re being brainwashed.

Gabes goals are twofold. Make money for himself and those under him and improve the PC game space.

He does both both unapologetically and without secrets or shady shit. Honestly, it’s not his responsibility to fix the world. It’s ours collectively. He does his small part to improve what he can. He saw a need and he does his best to fill it. And at the same time he pays his workers the highest wages in the entire industry. Most people who work at valve are millionaires.

I believe billionaires need to be taxed out of existence but this one is not the one that we need to hang first
