They seem to be claiming Llama and Epic broke the collective agreement with the union.

You don’t buy an iPhone, you pay a tithe to remain in the cult.

The tariffs changing every other day depending on how the orange toddler feels like is a much bigger problem than the value of the tariffs. If the tariffs where 500% for 10 years they could just be included in the price, but when you don’t know what the tariffs are going be on arrival it’s impossible to properly set the price.

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

Valnet websites are much worse.

As long as Google doesn’t sell Chrome to OpenAI.

Before we even get close to have this discussion, we would need to have an AI capable of experiencing things and developing an individual identity. And this goes completely opposite of the goals of corporations that develop AIs because they want something that can be mass deployed, centralised, and as predictable as possible - i.e. not individual agents capable of experience.

If we ever have a truly sentient AI it’s not going to be designed by Google, OpenAI, or Deepmind.

Moving around in “peaceful” should be ok as a playground for learning the controls.

Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.

Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I’m pretty sure Biden would’ve done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.

If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.

Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?

For $666 they could afford to ship a SD Card and an USB card reader.

It’s basically the same thing as gambling but with less regulations and social stigma. It’s not going to get better if no one does anything - and it’s not going to be the unregulated casinos cosplaying as gaming studios that will do it.

It should be forbidden to even refer to it as buying (I think some places already have laws for that), and they should also be forced to put a big disclaimer every time stating the game might become unavailable at any moment if it has things like DRM or core online functions.

It’s exactly because we live in capitalism that, as consumers, we need to punish greedy behaviour.

Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.

Just for reference in case someone needs it, Nintendo is “offering” free joycon replacements in North and South America, most of Europe (EU+EFTA+UK), Australia, and New Zealand.

*below mediocre manager.

Even the average HR person can see a large scale roasting in a work environment would be a disaster.

The closest, at least outside of China, would be Dailymotion.

They published some interesting mobile ones. And then figure out the crappy slop based on their TV shows actually does better, so they are going all-in on that.
