  I’m just trying to explain to you that YOU might do your thing, but YOU do not sway the industry.I’ve known and understood the dangers of dark practices, yet those companies were rewarded regardless of me not buying into them and warning others.All I’m saying is that you and I represent an insignificant minority of money in gaming, and if the majority won’t shop for PC hardware, that will cease to be sold. Completely. You and I will not change that.

  Like I said, I understand your Resistance is Futile story. As a separate topic for self-exploration, you might want to reflect on the outcome you’re actually trying to achieve, and why you’re going all-out to explain that being defiant in the face of the unacceptable is pointless.

  Anyhow, since all of that nonsense sucks ass, I will continue contributing zero dollars, and zero cents to non-essential industries that sell shit that i don’t want, at price points and with subscription schemes that I didn’t ask for.

  The other example that I set, is not striving to be the bucket of ice water dumped on other people’s refusal to bend the knee.

  In the simplest of terms, I’m advocating for fighting for your life when attacked, and you’re suggesting that you may as well do nothing when attacked, unless you know you will win.

  I’m telling you that we are in a minority.And that unless we can convince at least 50% of gamers to not buy into that, we lost.EA should have been bankrupt twenty times over, but people keep buying their games.Same as with everything.I keep fighting, but this fight has been lost since the start.

  I understand your thesis, but am offering mine as a wholesale replacement instead of a rebuttal:

  1. The entire gaming industry produces non-essential goods.

  2. No one video game, nor the entire industry, have a monopoly on entertainment.

  3. I dictate what products and services I want, the video game industry does not.

  4. If the industry doesn’t produce products that I want, the industry gets zero of my entertainment dollars, or attention.

  5. I can and will spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere, and have experienced zero stress as a result.

  Why “fight” an industry that needs you more than you need it? They cannot stop me from disregarding them, which certainly makes getting money out of me a challenge.

  I cannot stress enough how much of a Them problem this actually is.

  Do you play Call of Duty every release?No? Because millions of people do.Do you think your actions are offsetting that?Because they are not. Nobody is going to sell hardware to a couple thousand folk who won’t get in with the times.

  Based on your tone, you come from the Randy Pitchford school of public relations.

  If you’re uncertain about what I’m getting at, my recent spending on Borderlands, and Borderlands related goods, averages out to zero dollars and zero cents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I admire your optimism, but I think this will get used as leverage for a push to cloud gaming. The end goal is for is to own nothing.

  They’re certainly welcome to attempt selling that to me.

  They won’t like the outcome, but that’s more of a them problem.

  Well the pop would only cause more issues like lack of funds for anyone to even afford one of those things.

  Possibly, but this doesn’t diminish my desire for that bubble to pop sooner rather than later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What im hearing is that if we want those things sooner and at a reasonable price, we should do anything and everything possible to pop the AI bubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's called traditional medicine sweety, look it up⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Anybody that goes to the doctors after seeing the crazy shit they do is insane. Scam profession. Worse because they do active harm.

  This is what snake oil salesmen say to get people to re direct their health spending to snake oil.

  Since they’re unregulated scam artists, there is no regulatory body that you can appeal to in regards to negligence and malpractice on their part.

  In summary, the goal is to redirect spending, as sellers of fake treatments cannot outperform real treatments.

  You’re describing OCD.

  OCD is treatable, so I’d work towards getting a formal diagnosis and begin treatment.

  I enjoyed working with Gurp.

  Most people on earth don’t care much about Paris. If you ask 1000 people on earth to do this measurement you’d probably get 1000 different answers. Picking the line that goes through Paris is just a random choice that got enough agreement.

  It must be so exhilarating for you, asserting your opinions on weights and measures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no reason to pick those specific things to base your system on.

  If you’re not a human, and not living on earth, and are unconcerned with the day to day activities of humans as they go about their lives on earth, I tend to agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone come up with a good measure of distance that makes the speed of light a nice round number? I like the metric system, but the meter feels pretty arbitrary. We could do better!

  Originally, the meter was defined as one ten millionth the distance from the north pole to the equator, as it runs through Paris. The unit and system were picked for ease of use for day to day activities. It is also tied to the attributes of our planet, which is also how we derived the time units that we use.

  That’s the opposite of arbitrary, no?

  Remember the 1936 Berlin Games?iirc the government went out of its way to be accommodating to all attendees.

  Banking on Trump being as coordinated and thoughtful as Hitler is not an overly wise way to reassure people.

  It is legitimately dangerous to travel to the United States, because of state sanctioned violence.

  At least there’s price gouging to offset concerns about personal safety, the very real possibility of being sent to a Concentration Camp, etc.

  Every one of us is utterly replaceable, including the billionaires and multi-billionaires.

  For all the status quo that they push for, they don’t actually do anything special.

  You could take the average billionaire, strip them of all their worth and hand it over to some millionaire, and basically nothing would change as far as the planet is concerned.

  This is not a scenario where we are all NPCs to their game. We are all players, but more to the point, they are as expendable and interchangeable as we are.

  It’s all about control.

  If you can convince your cannon fodder to disregard their own health outcomes, you can convince them to go along with pretty much anything.

  Then you just hand them their marching orders, and they comply, regardless of their personal consequences.
