Of the two games mentioned, one has kernel-level anticheat, the other is “you guys don’t have phones?” The entire industry can go fuck itself.

It’s alright, I have a confession too, I never meant to buy anything but the complete version patched for two years and 75% off

offers Gemini Nano-powered suggestions on what to write about, like Past topics, Memories (from photos or locations), and Goals, like Daily reflections or Mindfulness.

It’s always this insipid bullshit, only the creepiness increases

For example, a restaurant app could expose an ‘order food’ function, allowing users to place an order with a voice command without even opening the app.

No one seems to have any idea what to use this shit for, it’s always some ancillary bullshit that’s easier done with a few clicks.

The best possible outcome, I’m very happy to see Sony tripping over their shoelaces. Maybe games need to cost more? Surely 90$ always-online console exclusives with day one DLCs and season passes, with gacha rewards and cosmetics that can be rejiggered into stat-boosting are the answer if they can also be made tepidely inoffensive with a story cobbled exclusively from tvtropes archetypes.

By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?

This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I’d never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We’ll see after it’s out for a few years, I’m not dumb enough to buy a game that’s not 75% off.

When we reduced all debate and nuance to soundbytes about punching nazis (we are mostly mesomorphic) and thought-terminating cliches you can chant, i.e. when reading and ideas fell out of fashion.

It’s a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple’s shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches

Even if he does win, it’s still Windows, still under their control. It’d be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it’s unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source
