“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

What a wonderful display of logic in action.

You believe climate change is a hoax

Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.

Fair point.

Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.

Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.

In fact it is the reverse.

Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.

Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.

At the cost of making people write their own successful stories, rather then riding on the popularity of an old franchise to sell it’s brand.

Don’t get me wrong, I would have absolutely played a KoToR with BG3 graphics.

But I would also settle for a new star wars story with BG3 graphics.

This effort I don’t believe was targeting people like most of what you would find here.

This ad-block ban, was mostly targeted at people who didn’t know what an ad-blocker was and didn’t want to have to deal with having to get banned.

If Alphabet(google) is actually serious about blocking ad-blockers, I would be surprised. Mostly because Microsoft has had more experience with this, also has billions, and even they quit.

Dues deduct from your paycheck

So does every other subscription “service.”, but we don’t talk about the vileness of a Netflix subscription do we?

No guarantees on pay, benefits, or work rules

This is just a lie. I cannot find another angle to it.

Even without a union, there is no guarantees on pay, benefits, or work rules. So the point is moot. It’s like saying “Anything is possible” and walking away like you said something sagely.

Typically must go through union instead of your supervisor or manager

Most people wouldn’t understand why this matters unless you’ve been apart of a job where your manager has defended you against your supervisors. Very few people have had this happen, but the idea is that you will have people that DEFEND YOU from your supervisors getting power hungry.

It’s not even like your supervisor can’t bring accusations against you, it just means that complaints would have to have merit.

I’ve resigned to put Star Citizen in the same basket as Half Life 3, and a Knights of the Old Republic remake.

Love the concept and commitment to the ideas, but I don’t actually expect to be able to play it.

The thing about being “Armed” is the fact you are indeed dangerous. As a gun is a tool with one job, to kill people.

It’s not like a gun is a fashion accessory for these people… right?

You can tell me I am wrong in any of this and I will apologize immediately. That being said I think there is only one problem here

It appears the only thing keeping the cookies on the tray was a piece of wax paper and an air cushion. I think something happened to your wax film as it became loose and no longer contained the cookies. Possibly because of heat or condensation.

If the blot stain on the side is any indication, as it is absent from all other corners of the box. I believe your cookies ended up on their side completely unguarded from any wax film. Just cardboard, cookies, and whatever physics happened between here and there.

One way I would suggest to fix this is by vacuum sealing them if you wish to avoid this problem again. Though I imagine bakers and logistics experts will give you much better advice then this.

As the people on the track are moving at an accelerated speed of 0 m/s, normally a train would apply the full force of the train moving to the meat bags human ethic problems on the tracks.

As newton’s first law states F = m*a, or Force = Mass * acceleration

F = x * 0 = 0 N of force

thus, they could just plop out as if falling after having a chair removed.

I will look at LTT to see the next new product, but I won’t go to them for technical specifications anymore, which was one of the primary reasons I watched his videos.

What are you talking about? This is the same game as the previous edition. I am not even sure they changed the graphics this time.

I guess this could be a glass half full kind of situation.

But they also are not making as much money as they could have if they delivered on a good game. Even if they got only 5% of steam, that is still 95% of steam that didn’t buy it.

Sure, you can make the argument that they still got into a new market. However, if your product was scientifically engineered to appeal to the most demographics, then only 5% of that market is concerning.

It makes sense from a perspective that their jobs just got a lot harder, they don’t have any of the tools they used to, they are being threaten with termination if they don’t volunteer their free time.

Why would anyone want to do that hobby?

I think people would pay ticket price to watch a rich person be dunked into an Ohio river. Think of the merchandising revenue alone!

The event would pay for itself! /s

Sorry, best I can do is a 2005 madcat controller.

I think Microsoft as a company is trying to pivot away from game development and instead becoming game publisher. Which all things considered, isn’t a bad thing. WIth improvements to AI, I imagine being a game creator is going to become much easier, so much easier, that AAA game studios just won’t be able to compete.

So being in charge of the marketplace is a good business strategy in that context.
