Well hopefully the different forks have their ducks in a row to strip all these “features” out down the road. So glad I use LibreWolf and not Firefox proper anymore

I don’t think it’s that big of deal, doesn’t it just link the account to your steam/psn/xbox live? I don’t even remember making a password for the account. It’s not like you also have to log in to another worthless launcher like blizzard/ubisoft/ea games on steam. That’s where I draw the line.

Do they charge real money for worthless cosmetics in this game? You think they’d be able to afford to bring the original voice actors back in to re-record some lines for updates, if that’s the case.

Seems kind of ironic for a game that’s about capitalists fucking the earth and leaving to space while the rest of humanity is plagued by AI death machines for generations.

Games, like movies and TV, have become so expensive to make because studios and publishers have consolidated so much that they can’t keep the machine running with modest budgets to make modest profits. They have to slop together content with the lowest effort to extract the highest revenue from microtransactions and season passes because every game has to be a Call of Duty/Fortnite/Pokemon level hit or the studio is shuttered by the publisher.

Great games are still being made, just like great movies that aren’t remake or superhero slop are being made. Just not from big money but independent studios instead.

ChatGPT might be, which is the point.

Wasn’t expecting to see biblical wisdom on the fediverse today

United Offensive. Expansion pack to the first CoD, exclusive to PC

The new MW3 was literally just an expansion pack for the new MW2 sold for full price.

Same as BO6/7. People are only willing to be milked so much. It’s why when people say what their favorite CoD is, the oldest game mentioned is Black Ops 2

Why not CoD:UO? (Please play with us, most unique CoD and servers still online!)

What are you doing step-bro site?

If you want algorithmic slip then why not just be on corporate owned platforms? The only people that want to feed you slop are those trying to harm you. The fediverse isn’t going to do that, they don’t have a motive for it.

Since when has vibe coding ever been done by some one like that and not the nepo baby son of the CFo who is good at computer

Roblox is one of the most evil companies in the world, actively exploiting children for profit and for cheap labor. A joke for safety guardrails (you can’t even restrict your child from adding anyone as a friend or restrict them from receiving friend requests from total strangers, all you can do is block them after the fact). They allow children to create accounts with no email or verification so that they can get around parental controls and engage with predators if they are motivated and resourceful

Evidence of predators abusing children on their app and their response is to silence the people shining the light on it.

There may be good things that come from Roblox but it’s ran by some of the most despicable people and is a net negative in the world in my opinion

Yeah you can definitely bully AI into giving you some thing that will run if you yell at it long enough. I don’t have that kind of patience

Edit: typically I see it just silently dump errors to /dev/null if you complain about it not working lol

AI can help you be more agile in getting out a PoC but vibe coding always ends up eating itself and you either aren’t capable enough to fix it (because you are a vibe coder) or you spend more time on the back 9, trying to clean up the code so you don’t have so many hacks and redundancy because the AI was too literal or hallucinated fake libraries that return null or its context window expired and it wrote 5 different versions of the same function

I was going to say. The code won’t compile but it will be “finished “

Kids want to play the games their friends are playing more than what their parents play.

I will play Fortnite and Roblox and Rocket League with my son and I’ve never had a skin or a battle pass and have tried to show him you can have fun with out wasting your money but that doesn’t stop a kids FOMO.

Publishers know kids have undeveloped abilities to delay gratification and are susceptible to peer pressure

Really? Your parents never bought you worthless junk meant to be throw away like fart putty or those rubber bubbles you blow up with a straw that barely work or packs of Pokémon cards or baseball cards?

I don’t think it should be up to the parents to tell the kids what’s valuable to them. If the kid wants a vbucks card over a game then you can tell them that’s why they didn’t get a new game.

(I do recognize that the current monetization models have ruined modern gaming which is why I only play games that are 15 years old or older)

I really would like to upgrade to a steam cube as my current PC is about 15 years old just with upgraded RAM, storage, and graphics but i also only play games that came out over a decade ago too
