Does it matter at this point? They lost a lot of interest in this game.

The executives that say this shit have such a lack of understanding of AI and the kind of work people do daily.

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickle. And in those days nickles had pictures of bumble bees on them! “Give me 5 bees for a quarter” you’d say.

Yeah I don’t get the argument either. Sounds like some Microsoft-bros not wanting to see a 3rd option for OS’.

Oh a 2-year warranty? Not sure how useful that warranty will be if they continue to deny every warranty claim.

I get that. And I self host the things I care about. But for the average layman? I don’t see self hosting as a real option. Unless you are decently tech savvy, and have an aptitude for troubleshooting, most people aren’t gonna put in the time or effort of initial setup. Even if maintenance is minimal once it’s running. That first leap into self-hosted is daunting.

I think of it this way… would I expect my dad to be able to do it? Absolutely not. And my dad is decently tech savvy for 70.

Any idea how to use a tiled wallpaper on modern smartphones? Android doesn’t let you choose, it just stretches the image to the display size.

Churn is inevitable with any subscription service.

The trick is creating just enough value and exclusive content/services that you feel like you’re gonna miss out if you leave. But not too much.

I haven’t seen any incentive to stay with any specific game subscription service via exclusive content or services. But I do see plenty of attempts to lock people into services with shitty tactics. Like forcing save data to the cloud. Good luck moving that saved file to your own personal copy of the game. Or multiple tiered service options with features/games locked behind more expensive options.

It’s all manipulative and anti consumer.

Sims 4 released in 2014. They had plenty of time to address bugs in-between the millions of stupid updates, but they didn’t bother. Who honestly expects any real work from these guys at this point?

As long as it took to get these games on steam, I’ve completely lost interest.

I could also see a database being used to coordinate game ownership with a fraction of the power usage. But neither will happen because consumers always get the raw end of the deal and nothing will ever be done to their benefit without being forced.

Bold statement. Might wanna hold judgment till you actually see some gameplay.

Dual CEOs? I feel like I’ve seen this in a comedy somewhere.

What’s healthy for the business long term isn’t healthy for the customer. Remember that.

Probably some dude in his basement using one of the many voice ai apps and audacity filters.

I have been using my LG OLED TV as my gaming monitor as well for about 2 years now. Haven’t had any issues with burn in on mine. I run the pixel refresh utility once every few months, and typically don’t play a game for more than a 3~4 hour stretch of time, so I think I get enough screen variety that it hasn’t been an issue.

If you haven’t run the Pixel refresher tool, try giving that a go for a few hours and see if it helps with your burn in. It could just be ‘stuck’ and not actually burnt.

As far as the LG, I mainly picked it for the VRR and 4k120 HDR support. Games look great, and It’s also my main TV for movies, which also look great.

This is what happens when we allow gigantic acquisitions.

Any idea if this is gonna require a PSN acct? Or is it optional?

Ugh.

This poor IP getting dragged through the mud.
