Stop ruining my fun and infiltrating my culture with your goddamned censorship. Yes I do need the fucking Neo-Nazi screaming at me over comms and leaving hatemail on my account because I dumpstered his bitch ass. The tears of my enemies are the only thing keeping me going at this point.

Wow! It’s like I’m right there actually watching the anime!

Not if you take the traditional definition no. All natural life tends towards organization of some kind, which implies that organization is a consequence of life until proven otherwise.

If you take a more modern definition of anarchy where you mean decentralized rules, then I could imagine a situation in which it occurs. Though it’s a far stretch to say that replacing a ruler with rules inherently solves the issue of power imbalance. Wether I am playing the game against an intelligent being or a logical system is irrelevant if the rules are unfair.

Hmm yeah. I was looking at it from a narrow perspective that didn’t take popularity into account. Good point. Americans basically set the standards for the English language in the modern era, so that way would be the correct way to go about it nowadays wouldn’t it?

Investors have invested lots of money into these companies. This means in some form or another these companies have agreed to pay back these investors in some way. You can answer this by quite literally thinking of money like a river, and the motion of that river is what gives energy to businesses so they can do their things.

In a normal not-bubble market, there is a flow of cash that goes from investors, into the company, and then back out to investors so they can do other things with it.

In a bubble market a lot of cash is flowing into the company, but little or no cash is flowing out back to investors. There are two possible things that happen here, either the cash eventually starts flowing again and we’re all good back to normal after some stabilization period, or people stop pumping cash into the business and the dam breaks. All that money is lost, or all that potential business energy is lost, or some combination of the two no matter how you slice it it’s wasted effort.

To keep with the water metaphor the AI market is like a hose that’s wound up in a box we can’t see into. We’ve pumped a ton of water into this hose and haven’t seen anything come out the other end. There could be a leak somewhere, or maybe we don’t have enough water to even get through the hose and people will want to use their water for other things instead. One thing we do know is that we’ve devoted so much water to this operation that if something does go wrong it has to go wrong spectacularly.

And while we’re on it: “I had a man tell me…”

So this dude didn’t tell you this on their own, but instead you made them tell you this?

What is with all these wall of text answers guys?

Twitter people like Twitter and Twitter man for making it. Twitter now not Twitter is now X and no more Twitter man. Twitter people not like TeslaSpace man. Twitter man make BlueSky.

No elephant needed to make this story work. Remember: twitter brain cannot handle too many characters.

These parasites man lmfao unreal. Propping up what industry exactly, their own subgenre of niche writing? Pretty sure the game developers, tech companies, and hardware manufacturers are the ones by far and large carrying the actual gaming economy.

Ah, so a religion of peace.

Nnooooooooo it’s not WWIII!!! I can’t understand that warfare is fought on multiple fronts, so don’t call an obvious global struggle for power and supremacy WWIII /s!!!

Just teach them tic tac toe first.

“Sanders you fool! The view from atop my ivory tower does not match the view you say the people who are not on the ivory tower have.”

It gives the boomers another chance to solidify their legacy as the worst generation in human history. In a way that helps all of us.

Win back? This country was bought and paid for long before any of us were alive. We keep fighting against the oligarhy for liberty and freedom like we’ve always done.

Not having the touchpads is a big downside, but this still fills a huge niche that the others dont. My Xbox elite controller is cool and all, but has neither a gyro nor capacitive joysticks. My dualsense has a gyro, but no capacitive touch so I need to activate it with a button hold or leave it always on.

The Xbox and PS5 controller also don’t treat the paddles as independent buttons by default, so you need an extra layer of software on PC that allows mapping those buttons to arbitrary inputs. Steam Input can overwrite this sometimes, but it’s very inconsistent on a game + hardware basis. The companion app is a concerning “feature”. Hopefully it’s just marketing trying to make up a fancy phrase for “hardware driver”.

“Give up hope now before the pain of existence rips it away. Oh, also eat healthy, and do some light exercise daily that stuff is important too.”

This community allows blogposting? What’s the joke - randoms on the internet are assholes? Not a very strong punchline.

WWIII: Special Military Operation still going on. WWIII: Religious Extremism expansion pack just dropped. COVID: 2: Electric Boogaloo in some areas. Election year in like 4+ major countries. Multiple major entertainment failures across the board in multiple entertainment sectors. And major scandals to boot, most notably a massive media icon’s fall from grace via nice and friendly things like coercion, conspiracy to murder, human trafficking, etc.

Gee Kotaku idk. You would think a Japanese corporation’s failure and loss of revenue would be more important to American media outlets during an election year. Crazy how that managed to slip through the cracks.

Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.
