  With what is happening in the world for the last 35 years (my age, not related), I’d also would like to wear tin foil hat from time to time. Especially today with the dawn of generative Ai.

  You may have caused millions to suffer. But if I kill you, I’d prevent suffering of more people. I am a murderer of one that might have continued to torture millions. I’d be a murderer for some but a hero for millions.

  Great example of our time - Luigi Mangione. Sad to hear him confessing 😭

  Until its -45C in winter. Then you change your opinion at an instant.

  Two bkac cables go out of a top white block. 1 usb port, 1 usb-a connector.

  Two cables gpu out of a black block on the left in the back. The dame charger looks like it is plugged at an angle into a charger on the left.

  Top left chargers have no cables and ports on them. The only cable that is there is looking like it goes out of a socket adapter/extender.

  Forms of most of these usb-a/usb-c connectors are weirdly deformed.

  Could we please use less AI slop in these memes? Making picture Co pressed and noised-up to hide it being an AI slop should be prohibited.

  I know. And this is b7. Kinda like discounted c6.

  But C5 is just unbeatable. Perfection in its own. Interestingly, b5 is also quite a nice design but unfortunately only from outside. Interior was bit late and had to catch up. C5’s interior was ahead of its time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time keeps marching forward⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A6 C5 is a timeless design. Even Škodas used it somewhere early 2010s. Just an unbeatable form.

  Wonder if these 210gb are worth 210h of normal playtime. If the game is 20h long, all these textures and gigs are worthless.

  We got a vegan Margherita for us 3hrn my vegan friend was visiting. Couldn’t notice a difference to a normal cheese pizza.

  There is no argument in your message. Whole comment section sees you as an cry baby. Chill :)

  So, choosing what’s good and losing visibility would en me up as a non-visible altruist.

  Nobody would buy a book from a guy on a street. They’d go to a book store that is owned by a business man who offers books in exchange for money that he pays for the rent of the book store, for the salary of the staff and for himself.

  You can, of course, sell on the street. But how much do you think you would sell just in the street compared to a publisher or just a random book store that asked you to pay for them to take some bookshelf space?

  Money is where people are. Nobody goes on the streets to buy books. Peoole go to a book store to have variety of choices and to find something that they are interested in. Imagine you’re interested in sci-fi and you’d have to run around the city to find a street book vendor that wrote his sci-fi novel just fo sind out his novel is crap?

  You’d go to a book store 99.99%of the time.

  Now change “book” to “game”. See the point?

  And, if we talk about decentralized. That might as well mean “free”. If the community holds all the games, devs are paid but community is left aside?

  Lemmy doesn’t earn money. Maybe only donations. If we sell games based on donations to the service, who decides which dev gets paid and how much? In other words, this would be close to “free to play, ingame purchases” than to an actual game store.

  BTW, some devs already locked their games to their own stores so here is this “street book vendor” type devs (more like publishers) that sell their games only there. But their service is crap, and everyone wants to buy in steam. 🤷

  At a current year’s rate it is around 66 games released A DAY. Nobody has time for that. Nor money. And FUCKING CERTAINLY no will to play asset flips and Ai slop.

  If any of those 66 games would be good…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, like on music industry. Millions of songs are released each year and yet only top artists get the listens.

  Or, like movie/series industry where the top movies that got advertised gets viewed and art-house ones getting buried in the black hole of unknown.

  And yet, some weird days artists and bands, directors and their weird movies sieve through and become hit sensation. Who knows why? (hint: they’re good)

  Dude, cmon. At least these ads are gaming ads and not some crap Ai bullshit or milfs nearby ads. That is a game store where games are to be sold. It is a no brainer to see ads for games there…

  Once my sister showed me this, it has been baked into my brain every time I hear Bicycle song.

  Brian wrote lyrics for Fat Bottomed Girls. I was always wondering how was it for Freddie to sing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite PSP games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody mentioned Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. That’s pretty much kh1/2 off ps2 except on a handheld. Super cool and replayable game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I agree with don⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe. If only my urethra would mimick those fancy handmade Japanese tea pots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their actions look like a typical monopoly. Buy competition to destroy it later so you’re the only one in business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨national anthem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! Exactly on point but for me The Black Mirror was worse to digest. Great comparison!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨national anthem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love me good series. Heard tons of good reviews about The Black Mirror.

  I have only managed to get to episode 3. Couldn’t do it after. Way too disturbing. Would 1000% recommend to watch. I just couldn’t 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro. GrapheneOS is only for Google phones that you still have to buy if you don’t own one already. Motorola got support but so far 0 phones have GrapheneOS form their lineup.

  Not to mention, most android phones are either Samsung or Chinese brands from which none will ever have support from GrapheneOS. Best you can do is get lineageOS or something and be lucky that these custom Roms have support for your device.

  Don’t forget the size of this thing. SM should be compared to minipcs, not ATX towers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is just impossible to get anything near this specs at this size with this price. And it hasn’t been like this for a long time. Speaking as an owner of HX99g.

  There are minis that are more powerful than Steam Machine, but they would start at $1200-$1500 and go as high as $2500. These machines wont run everything 4k@60 but due to how Valve manages their hardware, Steam Machine very likely will for a while.

  As an example, there are better gaming handhelds on the market judging by specs. They do be running games at better settings and fps. But Steam Deck is still is at the top of the list for its price and is still a benchmark in how it should be done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It could or should have been around 700-800. We must be thankful AI companies that it is how it is now.
