  Good on them! Hell yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, fuck them. They thought they could get away with this predatory debt-trap system that was marketed at children and they are clearly salty that they got caught. Not to mention the whole idea of not even owning your own PC or the data within which would be bad for everyone everywhere.

  There are so many competitors in the industry NZXT operates in; it would be very easy to avoid ever buying their stuff again. And I intend to do just that. Get bankrupted, you pieces of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental Computer Scam Investigated - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they are using paid influencers to promote said debt trap to those that don’t know any better, particularly children.

  Probably the most insidious part of this to me. Seeing those clips of “influencers” pushing the idea of convincing your parents to get you a rental PC. Disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your most recent games played?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elite: Dangerous, Tiny Glade, BG3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thankfully there is a very simple, no-effort solution to this: Don’t play their trash.

  I already don’t play their excruciatingly mediocre games and this just reinforces my avoidance is justified.

  Also good gods they’ve been milking this tired franchise for almost 2 decades now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prostagma?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out that a massive Earth-scale game that requires streaming of gigabytes worth of data every play session for each user and has next to no local storage is a really awful idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always did find it amusing that they are called the United States when it seems like it’s constantly teetering on brink of another civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not logged into lemmy.world when entering from google⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to do a hard refresh every time I open Lemmy (any instance) to get logged back in. It started happening a few FIrefox updates ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone Is Trying To Play Concord Right Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was barely even alive for it to die in the first place 👀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the company and where you live, I feel. Some has gotten worse, some has improved.

  But they have all gotten more expensive. So goddamn expensive. These days I can order a well made, flame-grilled burger at a burger joint for the same price as fast food slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skyrim Is 13 Years Old, But Elder Scrolls 6 Is Nowhere in Sight While Bethesda’s First Four Games Took Only 12 Years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can take as long as they want. After Starfield, I have zero confidence that TES6 will be any good. Bethesda has some serious issues they need to sort out with their production pipelines and methodology and they need to rethink how they approach story-driven open world experiences.

  Every time I see a Starfield video and see the camera turbozoom in on a character as they deliver a forced, robotic line with terrifying facial animations - I get teleported right back to 2006. It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What song would cause you to do this to yourself ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.

  Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.

  2nd place would be any of Queen’s absurdly overplayed songs. I don’t even hear them as music anymore; they’re just annoying noise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With AWD I’d be more concerned with the fuel consumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is all about short-term profit. These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.

  Further proof of this: Climate change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't expect big reveals at Summer Games Fest, says Geoff Keighley⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With all the studio buyouts, closures, layoffs, etc to pile on top of all the usual greedy macrotransaction crap - it’s really hard to give a shit about games right now. Seriously, the only upcoming game I’m even remotely interested in is Tiny Glade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lack of proper disposal facilities and/or fees for using said facilities. Easier to dump something in a lake or in the bushes than driving 40 minutes across town to a special facility and paying $30+ to dispose of it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pubic hair is much, much thicker.
