That's what I'm trying to say. I don't think such a game is feasible.

Also, in the context of this threat, saying "ooo Tetris isn't political!" is being pedantic, that's not what the person meant when they asked for an example of a non political game.

I'm not saying I know anything about this Dragon Age, I haven't played it.

I think it's a fair point though, to imagine an a-political narrative game, because I think most if not all RPG games I can think of have some kind of political content.

Took them a while to label the hot tub titty streams, from what I remember.

Back when they still had video rental stores that carried games, and you had to carefully select what game you were stuck with for the weekend lol.

Quest 64? Oh yeah, absolutely.

Star fox 64? I can play the shit out of that right now.

What really irks me are people that think there's such a thing as a "good" billionaire. Had an argument one time because I said all billionaires are inherently shitty, and my colleague was trying to convince me that Bill Gates is actually a good person.

Get real son, the path to billionaire is paved with blood.

Nvidia does the same shit for GPU drivers, it's obnoxious

This dude used to point out legit game quality issues, but I'm not sold on "the game isn't horny anymore". I dont really give a shit about that.

That and the RE4 remaster was genuinely good. Starting to feel like an edge lord.

Street fighter 4 did this very explicity.

I'm not discounting that the whole DLC characters thing has been around since 2 though and has gotten worse.

I remember 5 launched with a barebones roster where a lot of core characters were missing (basically the first edition of 3 all over again).

It's always a relief to see the comments being real about this.

No more apps please, I'd rather have access in a convenient way.

Interesting opinion from someone who didn't know they did unlockable characters in 4, lol.

I'm not suggesting every street fighter should come with every character, there's like a million. If you think that who they choose to add and not add isnt financially motivated, I think that's wrong.

SF6 is a great game, love it, and generally they're getting it right, but Capcom for sure loves doing things for that cash.

You're right, because a lot of it was "game not horny" and I don't have time for incel garbage

Good to see someone using Linux for their platform on these handhelds. The big reason I don't want to try the Ally or whatever the others are doing is I can't imagine Windows is making the experience better.

I don't really have evidence to support that, but more Linux investment is better overall.

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.

I kind of envy the mindset where one has empathy for someone who is so out of touch with reality given their status. I like to think I'm a good, just person that wants to do the right thing but when I think of what the billionaire's perspective is: someone with so much power and influence that most people are just objects or playthings to them, it's frustrating to think about. They think they're bigger than people, the earth, maybe even the universe.

I'm not saying I could be the triggerman, I'm not that kind of person, but yeah, fuck 'em.

Androids best advantage used to be full control of the device... Those were the days. Then it started with saying they know better than you, then locking you out. Now I'm waiting on a new, better solution.

Honestly it's not like native Linux is too far fetched, but there would have to be a big open source common ground device collaboration.

Ah, sounds like what-about-ism. Metas behavior doesn't exempt Apple from criticism. That logic tends to drive all of our standards and expectations down.

Theres room to criticize and expect more from all of these companies who are more than capable of doing better.

I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.

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.

And Apple will finally sell the iPhone starting with 256GB

Putting aside for a second how the US should be dealing with the very real threat of gun violence in this country, I'm always surprised by the misunderstanding of the gravity that carrying a pistol in public has.

Its not just about keeping the safety on and making sure it doesn't go off in your pants. When you bring a gun with you, you're introducing a firearm to a situation where in many case there isnt one. That puts you and everyone else around you at significant risk of being shot now, where again, those odds used to be zero. Not only that, you're basically steering the bus now on who gets shot if violence should break out, and not everyone is trained to handle an actual confrontation with the appropriate skills.

That's what's so mind boggling. At the end of the day, carrying a weapon just makes you and everyone around you more likely to be shot, and people feel the need to do that as a state senator in Washington? It sounds pointless. I'll also add that the process of getting a concealed permit is mostly saying you won't commit a crime, and getting fingerprinted, that's generally it.

That's gonna be an uninstall for me, Tencent.

We need stop normalizing working at the age of 80, especially in high positions of consequence.

This is the wrong way to go about solving this problem IMO, but then again the problem they're trying to solve is more about security than privacy as a right.

If you've ever worked at one of these big companies with fancy buildings, it's interesting that in the end, they're the same depressing row after row of cubicles, or "shared working spaces"

The architecture might look neat outside and upfront, but otherwise it's just sad and boring inside the actual working area.

Big thing about RTO is that these places just suck to be at. Quality of workspaces have been going down for years as they try to cram more and more people into less space.

We finally get a reckoning that a lot of people can just work from home and the economy won't blow up, but instead, rich folks want people back in the torture zones.

The fact that people pay hundreds of dollars for this OS to get advertised to is insulting. Same energy as these smart TVs that feel like they have the right to show you ads.

If I'm dictator, I'm making this shit illegal, full stop.

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.

It's a gross perspective this person must have to say this with a straight face. The reasoning really shows how out of touch with the harsh reality many people live in.

We should be striving for more free time, and life enjoyment.

Without comment.... Cowards.

This is one for the "There's no systemic racism in America!" crowd

I wonder how much junk was created just because a device didn't support the latest version of HDCP.

Every time I want to see something about Magic The Gathering, I just get disappointed.

This lady is always finding ways to make me shake my head. She appears to be the same bullshit wrapped up in the "old" GOP shell.

I wish all the billionaires would launch themselves into space to fuck off forever.

That or go on more submarine expeditions I guess.

I'm actually surprised to see how many people want Samus in Fortnite. I just don't understand, what does it matter? If you want to see your favorite character in something, you can go consume their media. What about shooting a gun and doing a dance makes it special?

I'm pretty convinced that RTO was another way to do layoffs without severance or "bad" press. What I would like to see now are more job roles finding freedom in working times. I think many jobs have strict scheduling for a reason, but I suspect more jobs don't require you to be physically present all the time to get it done.

I'm over the era of ads dominating our lives. I know not everyone can do so, but I'm willing to pay a fair rate for a fair search and AI service. If we have to continue to live in this system then I think we should better enable competition in the tech space and stop some of these mafia business monopoly tactics.

Some companies are just disgustingly greedy. I pay for a new TV, for example, and that thing is trying to download ads and report my usage non-stop and I paid fairly to own the device. I'd support any political party that actually wants to protect consumers from the nonsense business pull.

Anecdotally, if I saw a woman in the men's room, I'd probably mind my own business like I always do.

It's like the gym, I'm trying to do my thing and gtfo, no eye contact, no nothing.

I know I'm just one voice but I think it's way stupid how interested we are in other people using the restroom.

I heard about this thing but couldn't really tell what the idea was. I think I want to carry less, not more on me.
