  • Getting the “lets assume this isn’t AI” out of the way:

    I am somehow extremely disappointed that people who support this obviously corrupt and evil little man also have talents like art, and music, and probably others.

    sigh

    Man, 10 years ago I was in the middle leaning Left. Now I am so far left most ideas from the Right feel atrocious. I mean, they are…you know what I mean though.








  • I’ve had it for AGES. I agree that ads have been a bit much and many websites almost unusable without Origin. YT Premium though has been fairly solid with a couple hiccups.

    Admittedly, I use YouTube as my primary source of entertainment. So the price is easily justified vs other services.



  • 100 people see dumb ad.

    40 people click on dumb ad.

    10 people play game from dumb ad.

    5 people stick it out and continue playing.

    1 of those 5 spends money.


    Games that are p2w exist in a symbiotic relationship with people who are willing to spend copious amounts of money. The people who don’t spend money and still exist within these games help fill in the environment. ALL players of these games are the problem.

    Mobile games are the most common example of this, though other games fall under similar banners. The truth is any free game with live service needs money to operate. Hell, even that fan-run DBZ MMO has costs associated with it that the community helps fund. This won’t go away, it’ll just disguise itself as something else.

    I do believe, however, that for larger games the bloated cost of development needs to fuck right off. 100mil and 5 years or more? There is a logistical issue there that needs to be addressed. One of many, I’m afraid.






  • I have ADHD.

    someone opens my Youtube as a litmus test

    “So we pray unto the holy beings that this child may not lose their way. For which many forsaken paths they may tred, nor what trends they may trod upon, that they alight on lightened road and partake only within golden rays.”

    “Also, just, like…ignore that 3am Pokemon rabbit ahem hole I went down when overtired.”

    tldr: Flaw can give a hacker access to your computer only if they have already bypassed most of the computer’s security.

    This means continue not going to sketchy sites.

    Continue not downloading that obviously malicious attachment.

    Continue not being a dumbass.

    Proceed as normal.

    Because if a hacker got that deep your system is already fucked.
