Waste of time?

I agree with you, while adding that the lack of depth, especially in space exploration, economy and combat made it that much more disappointing. Like the groundwork is there, you should be able to hire pilots or have you companions run planet bases for you, but no. At least, when I played you couldn't do that.

This is just like that Epic dude saying Fortnite is the future (lol). People are trying to make definitive statements about what a successful game looks like but there are so many variables to consider. The problem just isn't as simple as "is it multi-player or not". Cost matters too, but it's also clear that more development money doesn't mean better game. Spider man 2 is a good game, but I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Balatro, which was way cheaper to make and to buy.

What if we could have a world that wasn't powered by ads? I'd like to get past this "only one way to run the internet" train of thought.

I'm just so tired of ads, commercials and advertising in general. It's exhausting.

Yet another example of companies making irresponsible anti consumer choices. You should have to pay the piper if you want to start dancing to this tune. That or you should be forced to open source your proprietary works.

When is it ever enough?

Mask off

Find a new algorithm? It's not creative, it just gave up one it knew about.

Absolutely. Cool factory, nice video. I'm gonna try it later.

This man's "madness" makes me look like an absolute toddler.

Kindest Dota 2 interaction.

That's the right mindset.

For those reading, don't let them fool you about down selling your worth. If you've got the skills they want, and you show that, they'll pay you. Job history conversations are just a way to try and leverage lower pay or benefits on you.

There's not enough context here to have a strong opinion, but I'll add that personally, nothing has given me a bigger raise than getting a job at another company.

It must be exhausting, being mad about shit that doesn't affect you all the time.

God damn, every time with this.

Ghost of Tsushima was amazing, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I swear these assholes went buck wild with the software in vehicles with almost no guardrails.

I don't know for sure what the case is, but if we don't have standards in place for upgrades and software support of vehicles as they age, issues like planned obselescence and coerced subscriptions are going to run rampant.

I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I'm not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it's OK to like what you like.

If companies aren't going to cater to you, yeah that's annoying in most scenarios.

Java when you don't put in a try catch, vs Template<typename T> in Cpp

I hear what you're saying, but think about it this way, should I have to log into my dvd player to watch a movie? There wouldn't be any added experience. What about 10 years down the line when Sony decides to shut off PSN? Will they take the time to remove the requirement or will they do what they've done in the past and just drop support?

Forcing people to be online and log into shit is just an unnecessary hassle so that they can keep making money off their paying customers. From what I can tell, this does nothing for us. If we just "get over it" then companies will continue to be exploitive. Expressing frustration, especially as a customer is important.

Gaetz wouldn't want kids learning about how consent works.

If you ordered a cookie and didn't get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.

However I don't know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don't think that should bother you.
