4 days agoThere’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…
Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.

7·6 days agoYeah, but Israel joined for propaganda, to make European countries see them as Europe instead of scary Muslim Middle East.
They’ve been in trouble a couple times for not meeting the qualifications. They’re supposed to have nonbiased news on a government broadcast channel, and instead they just tried not doing any news on the channel, and now just put some propaganda up and call it “news”.
Like, you technically answered the letter of the question, but completely missed the spirit of the question…
they still have Respawn making Star Wars games.
I mean, that’s an exclusivity thing again…
From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games…
We got a couple that were decent because there’s no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it’s terrible micro transactions.
Like…
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
Literally came from the beginning of that exclusivity deal…
EA:
We can go lower
Like, everyone knows that EA is a terrible company, but it’s insane how they continually lower the bar. It’s honestly impressive how EA keeps innovating new ways to piss off consumers.
If they ever lose their sports exclusivity contracts, they’re cooked.
Madden and FIFA is why they’ll never stop being profitable
But real estate agents complained they hurt sales. Some homeowners protested the scores and found there was no way to challenge the ratings.
The bigger problem is landowners lobbying to avoid official designation even tho it comes with funding to mitigate/prevent damage. It raises insurance and lowers home prices, so they just ignore it till the last second.
As someone in tech myself, I’d rather have an iPhone
Ok buddy
So when the US government needed in a trump shooters iPhone…
They gave it to Israel, and Israel gave it back unlocked…
What did they do? Guess the pass code?
Literally the opposite…
Israel doesn’t want the IDF able to hide/leak anything about the ongoing genocide, so they’re making everyone use the phone that they can spy on.
Like, Israel says it’s for safety but they’ve been committing an open genocide for two years now, why they fuck is anyone taking their word?
It’s not because iPhones are safer…
It’s because Israel can unlock any iPhone:

If they weren’t so brain rotted from AI, they’d realize that those things aren’t retained for shits and giggles in the first place…
Everything you ever say to a chatbot is archived and associated with your profile. And the chatbot company owns it and can do whatever they want with it.
4·13 days agoWho cares what anyone still on Twitter says?
But the recent controversy was people from other countries pretending to be American to cause division, no one has been complaining about people from other countries not like America.
If you write it down you have to pay attention to it.
Back filling as you go is easier, and the other players can hold min maxers in their place as well as a DM.
Like, I never played much but we knew a dude who would always claim undisclosed knowledge or experience relevant to whatever was happening. So eventually in-game we just started calling him a liar, and the DM went with.
For example we needed food so he suddenly was an expert in foraging, but he really wasn’t so no one else ate the berries and he had severe diarrhea the next few game days.
It’s self regulating, don’t try stupid shit or stupid shit happens to you.
23·15 days agoThis is the rationale for not opening known tombs.
It’s not that we don’t want to see inside, we definitely do.
It’s just that we wouldn’t really gain anything right now, but 20-40 years from now we’ll have better tech. So it makes sense to “save” some for later instead of opening them all at once
1·15 days agoAnd I said to tell the difference between slop and human indie devs…
They’d have to start vetting games to tell.
You said they don’t have to do that, you just think there’s a magical way to tell?
What you’re saying just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like you didn’t even read the comment chain you replied to. I’m just reiterating what I’ve already said, and it’s probably going to help you understand just as much as the first time…
I know I’m going to regret asking, but how exactly do you logic out that stopping low quality slop games?
It would literally do the opposite because the goal for each slop game would be $49,999.
Your idea would make everything worse, and I’m just curious why you don’t see that.
Whatever limit you try to set, that’s what the AI slop will aim to meet.
It’s just something that can’t be automated, at the end of the day every online market needs a human to whitelist new products and review bait and switches, or the market will flood with junk.
But no one wants to pay for that human level review.
And I know, it may cause delays, but most Indie game do not only beta but alpha builds to fund development. I bought BG3 like 2 years before release because it made Act 1 immediately playable, it’s not even just an Indie dev thing.
So even if it takes a full year, real developers would just register early in the process. The slop tho won’t stay topical because they’re not being pumped out in an afternoon.
The worksheets, seen by the Guardian, required Jeremy to interview 10 friends or family members about their finances – listing their names, occupations, phone numbers, and asking each of them to refer him to 10 more people he could contact about their financial planning.
They’re really as pushy as any pyramid scheme… I’ve had more than a few “friend of a friend” want to talk to me and it’s all super desperate and scammy.
They’d have to start doing vetting for that…
All the slop games are “indie” or at least would start to be structured that way to lower their barrier of entry.
If you look up Stirling engines on the internet, you’ll immediately find a load of toys and hobby kits for a device that runs seemingly by magic.
Don’t write it off because of that, the Romans invented the Steam engine like 1800 years before trains, they just wrote it off as a child’s toy.
A lot of shit generates an insane amount of heat, if we can harvest the temp differential a couple times during cooling process, it’s literally free energy. Even if it just runs the fans/pumps in the cooling. It would be somewhat self regulating even, although we couldn’t rely solely on this or we’d run into the same issue as nuke reactors with positive power coefficients.
Quick edit:
Even just some kind of battery tech that removes excess heat and turns it into battery cooling or even trickle charging back to the same battery.
Small shit is what’s truly groundbreaking, because it can be applied to damn near everything for almost nothing.
Check out “Cyber Knights: Flashpoint”
Early access and super cheap, gets almost weekly updates that won’t break a save.
Very, very similar. But much deeper and if we’re patient and support it could be bg3 level.
Like, seriously the only other time I’ve enjoyed an early access was bg3. It’s deep enough to run it like a rouge light. Especially since if you go a couple months without touching there’s a bunch of new content when you come back.
