- Comment on How our patience level has changed 1 week ago:
Yeah, but thats in large part due to the fact that people stopped trying to optimize, because why optimize when most people have gigantic firehose connections that can just use their raw bandwidth to overcome issues.
A similar problem exists with other aspects of computing, lack of optimization and just brute forcing it with modern GPU/CPU power
- Comment on How our patience level has changed 1 week ago:
I believe broadband is, generally, a net negative for the human species.
Its always on, leading to a constant conveyor belt of fresh horrors.
Its always on, so theres no seperation from internet and anything else, because you can’t just log out of the internet anymore.
High speed/Always on internet means goods we used to own physically and use as we please, have been converted into goods we just perpetually rent and can be taken from us at any time.
always on broadband was genuinely the turning point in ruining the internet.

Start rolling out guillotines and i bet they’d start finding ways to serve their electorate rather quickly.

Man I wish I could afford to have 90lbs a cheese of day.
I’d finally experience happiness, both by having immense amounts of cheese, and from dying from eating immense amounts of cheese.

- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 2 weeks ago:
yeah, anyone can make a game. that game will probably be a slop generic asset flip game, but still technically a game.
to make a good game takes years, and money, and either knowledge or time available to be spent pursuing that knowledge…while also working an actual job to actually pay for all the bills for everyday life, in addition to what the game needs.

and those indie companies will get bigger, become corporatized, and continue the cycle.
Just like the ones before them did, just like the ones after them will.

How can it have cheating? Sweeney said all the cheaters are on linux, which is why he’s blocked linux from playing it?
- Comment on FFVII Revelation Director Insists S-E Had No Choice but to Require a Download to Play the Physical Disc Version 4 weeks ago:
like buying a steam game retail and just getting a slip of paper with a code in it.

its bait.
- Comment on Ubisoft begin removing Ubisoft Connect from Steam with the new Ubisoft Connect Services 4 weeks ago:
I still don’t understand the point of making every game have a shitty launcher. I mean, I can understand MMO’s for updating the actual game and shit, but why the fuck do single player games have them?

- Comment on Employers ditching health coverage 4 weeks ago:
I doubt its good quality healthcare, and you’ll probably still be forced into slave labor, only being paid 7.5cents an hour instead of 7.50 an hour.
- Comment on Employers ditching health coverage 4 weeks ago:
They want to get rid of the only thing that keeps 90% of people working at shit jobs, thats some real consultant level smarts right there.

Its a small convection oven, that works more efficiency because the heating element is like an inch above the food, and heating a very tightly confined area, so intense temperatures can be more concentrated and easily achieved.

Many countries have HoA’s.
Why America has them is, simply put, racism. HoA’s got started after WW2, specifically to keep non-white people from moving into white neighborhoods.

I’d rather have a shit neighbor with an overgrown yard than some wannabe dictator who alienated their children and takes out their hatred on the neighborhood with bullshit fines and harassment.

Racism.
Thats literally it.
HoA’s became a major thing after WW2, in large part, to keep black people from moving into white neighborhoods… with rare exceptions for “servants”.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 5 weeks ago:
This is also why the powers that be drug their heels and took 10 years to implement the 15 dollar minimum wage.
because htey knew that by the time they did, it would solve nothing due to inflation and cost of living rises.
So they got the brownie points for passing it, but still have the desperate, manipulable base thats one bad month away from losing everything.
