That’s good.

But there is definitely a cultural difference as well.

That said, it’s not like everyone in the west online is nice, but in western culture it has gotten MUCH better.

It wasn’t too long ago that every english speaking person in a video game chat was absolutely horrible. But today I encounter much more people online genuinely trying to be nice a constructive. Especially in games from studios that care.

And you can leave a negative review, and still be respectful. That isn’t what the majority are doing.

I hope that improves. China has a lack of truly wholesome devs that are also as successful as some western indies. Instead it is a hellscape of companies arguably worse than EA, Activision and Ubisoft.

Answer: Chinas gaming culture is toxic, and does not differentiate between indie and corporate pay-to-win live service bullshit. They are used to going straight to review bombs as the only way to make a point to developers.

It’s because he knows how screwed OpenAI, actually is.

He acts like he’s surfing the wave. He looks like he’s exactly as deep in the hole as he actually is.

ChatGPT is the next Theranos.

He hasn’t just scammed consumers. He’s scammed investors. And that’s the one crime that actually lands people like him in prison.

KDE: just wiggle it

I'm in.

Online generators let you avoid the shortener if you tell them to encode “text”.

Link QRs are just text QRs, but it’s a link. In a pinch you can use the “text” mode to encode whatever you need.

Still wrong. Squeal.

The tripled rate is specifically for 10-14.

Among 10-14 year-olds?

At that age, your biggest problem should be losing a video game save file, or at worst losing your first pet. All while still surrounded by loving and supportive adults.

What the hell are we doing?

Pretty sure that’s what OP is doing, as they mention the Deck along with a kitchen chair.

Same but among arch users it’s “your config” and “my config”.

Triple AAA, maybe.

Indie Studios have genuine fans, who don’t need the latest GPU, CPU and RAM to keep buying their games.

The gems aren’t hard to find. Good games have fans singing them praises from the rooftops.

I could give you an almost endless list if you asked for good games, and they wouldn’t all be old.

If this actually worked, the rich wouldn’t be trying to sell AI to the poor. They’d keep it to themselves.

And once again Konami proves they have no fucking clue what horror fans actually want.

These companies keep trying to grab both bones, completely failing to realize the second bone is a fucking reflection.

They have tapped some genuinely competent studios for this comeback of the franchise, but tightening the screws, like, at all, and this shit will blow up. Setting up four games from the start may already have been a mistake.

If Konami wants more, they don’t need to make more Silent Hill. They have so many alternatives.

FFS, they are sitting on fucking Zone of the Enders, despite Armored Core showing there’s plenty of appetite for that kind of game.

Or how about a modern Castlevania? Anyone?

Or, get this, publish for some small indie studios with neat ideas for completely new stuff, as a low cost way to discover new potential franchises?

Sure does. Look at the store page.

They literally made it into a lil guy!

Those new controllers look like EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping for.

The Index controllers are great, unless your hands are big. Then they’re barely usable imo.

The best fit for me was the OG Oculus Touch controller, and these look like they stole everything about those that worked.

They’re pushing prices up because of course people are gonna pay for the sake of a beloved pet. The cost?

Dead pets for the people who can’t afford it.

Do you think aws engineers use aws services to maintain aws?

HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

understand the difference between egoism/hedonism

I can see why they might seem similar. And you can certainly pursue hedonism in an egoistic manner.

But I prefer a utilitarian version of hedonism, which doesn’t necesserily need to come with any level of selfishness. It can, but it doesn’t have to.

I make selfish decisions at times, but try to make sure that doing things for my benefit doesn’t cost someone else.

Taking it even further, putting in a bunch of work to throw someone else a super fun surprise party, is hedonistic, but not very egoistic.

Hedonism is to maximise pleasure while avoiding pain. But unlike egoism, it doesn’t have to focus on only your own pain or pleasure.
