Exactly, it’s an awful treadmill. EA as a whole was at nearly 60% profit last year. Coupled with layoffs, it seems they’re trying to keep that infinite spend as potential as possible lol
I just hope something good comes out of recent ex-rspn teams.

Afaik they’re still using awful third-party servers, lag compensation is still aggressive as fuck, they tried to “fix” visibility by slapping a bandaid in the form of healthbars, and the anticheat thing was another bandaid instead of a surgery. Overall it’s kinda stuck, all of the old issues are still there.
They have a shitload of new cosmetics though, if that’s your jam. Funnily enough, they were so greedy even esport orgs didn’t want to keep working with them. Rspn offered a one-time payment, orgs wanted a percentage of sales. Mind you, it’s a fairly big esport that advertises the game for them (btw played on better servers than available in-game).

Imagine making billions (with an S) off of one game and still calling it a miss. Chasing infinite growth is so dumb.

There are positive aspects to coming out if you’re in the closet. What’s the positive aspect of face tattoos?
It makes one happy?
Yes, everyone is free to do it. Everyone else is also free to judge them for it though.
What’s the point though. They are already judged enough, I don’t think it’s a good idea to worsen that.

Internet isn’t a single community, so yes.

“They get a pass because they normalized it sooner”
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 weeks ago:
You can absolutely cover up face tattoos. It’s even easier in colder climates. Also, and I know it’s a bit of a reach, but coming out publicly is a permanent change that you know you might be discriminated against for. Should everyone stay in the closet because it brings fewer negative future effects?
Let people do what makes them happy, after all, it doesn’t hurt anyone (except themselves for a bit while getting it).

everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist,
That’s stuff’s on buttons in many, many cars.
back up cams are all either unnecessary
They really aren’t. With thicker pillars (for better safety, but also sometimes for design purposes) the more cameras you have - the better.
You can still buy incredibly simple cars, just look at PSA, Dacia/Renault basic models or Fiats that have been in production for years. Hell, Mitsubishi ASX turns 15 and all they did was stick a big screen for a radio. Suzuki S-cross imo is the sweet spot, a small screen for 2 functions (radio/phone audio, camera) and physical controls for the rest.
Or just don’t buy new cars. I think you’d like VW Up, big selling point of it was the lack of a navigation system because they get outdated so quickly, so instead there’s just a nav holder.
- Comment on Anon predicts the future of driving 5 weeks ago:
I think those old toyota and saab (orange or green is best) screens are nicer to look at than most new ones. Btw have any automakers even tried going above 60hz refresh rates? lol
- Comment on Anon predicts the future of driving 5 weeks ago:
Oh, there have been attempts. Joystick controls, for example, in Mercedes concepts (F 200, SL R129 Concept, Vario Research car), or in actual farming vehicles. Recently, several automakers tried yokes. For now it’s the cheapest way to make a car steer, we’ll see some funky shapes probably.

Also, wars are hella expensive. Taxes going up is inevitable, the cost of living will go up, it’s just a question of “when”, not “if”.

I propose enclaves and exclaves everywhere. Pros: forces everyone to cooperate, makes saturation attacks pointless, pleases the spirit of Jacques Fresco. Cons: none I think
