My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.

Because AI can screen far more private personal conversations between potential dissidents than real people can?

There needs to be a lemmy.norm or some shit.

Just photoshop requests, memes, hobbies and dumb “askreddit” shit.

Ive had companies call my mom over stuff because the last known contact information they found for me was from when I was still living with my parents. Literally years after I moved out.

The “A.I” excuse stuff reads like bullshit. The mom call might just be old information.

Because Lemmy is a voluntary echo chamber.

Honestly the USA is going fucking insane and China is starting to look stable and rational by comparison.

China is like “yes, we are predictably slightly evil” America wakes up every day, takes a fistfull of Hunter S Thompsons briefcase, snorts it and then hucks a dart at a D&D alignment chart.

I put wheels on my car which are a cheap copy of a very popular wheel because they were $500 not $2000 and I dont race. Every car meet someone has to comment that Im running “fakes” and try to give me a hard time about it. Yeah, Ive got a mortgage and a kid. Fuck off with your Supreme snapback ass hypebeast bullshit. I’m building the car I can afford.

People are toxic, even communities who preach peace and love as their doctrine have people who will whip out the moral-cock ruler and start shit over who is more peaceful and loving.

If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.

Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…

NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.

Thats 3 promises broken at once.

Because Nintendo games on Nintendo handhelds almost never go wrong and you know what parents love? Their kids shit always just working. You dont have to check the system specs, you buy the game at the store and it WORKS. You wrap the game under a tree at Xmas, you can tell grandma “Nintendo Switch” and while she might pick something shit, its going to work.

Lemmings love to act like they are enlightened for figuring out the Steam deck is better… its not for you. Its for 5 to 10 year olds.

“Vampire says people are being selfish not wanting to be fed on.”

They do damn near 10/10 work when they give a fuck, Thats probably the worst part.

Siege was damn near perfect as a tactical competitive shooter for the first few years. The Division was great, Just Cause was enormous fun and so on.

The problem is they hit a winner, and then milk it and milk it and milk it until we hate it or them.

A lot of people will still parrot the launch criticisms at you and refuse to acknowledge that they pretty well fixed it. The devs overpromised and underdelivered, even now its not quite what they promised. But if they had dropped what the game is now on release it would be pretty universally regarded as one of the best games of all time.
