Delicious! Finally, some good fucking content.

Honestly… most online FPSs are fine if you aren’t good. I’m trash and I almost never see cheaters in R6 haha.

Untitled Goose Game is what you are looking for :)

You’re downvoted but you’re right. AI slop will never replace the world’s best musicians, artists, writers or actors-but it can definitely replace entry level, unimaginative, stock-footage type stuff. And then the creative arts die from the bottom up. In a few decades the artistic world might look a lot more like how it did centuries ago, with the content makers largely being privileged and connected people because it’s so much harder to work your way up from the bottom.

Illegal take but I actually do like smart TVs. Unless you never use any streaming services, it’s a useful feature that would otherwise require an external device to do the same thing. Now if you have your own home server or something, that’s cool too, but that’s more hassle than I want to deal with.

Haha just reading your comment cou

You’re getting apples for 10 cents a pound at a grocery store?! Nah there can’t be right

We’ll see I suppose. I will add, though, that exclusive games absolutely do drive people to Xbox or Playstation (or Nintendo). Not a deal-breaker for most people, but a factor for some people.

Nah I still don’t get it. Windows PC gamers don’t have to think about compatibility at all right now - every major game release is compatible with windows, apart from some Nintendo exclusives. You dont even have to think about it - when a new game is announced I know I will be able to play it on Windows without jumping through any hoops. Even if it’s a simple check mark for every game it’s still more work, and many games are gonna be blocked because of anti-cheat.

I also think that very few casual phone/tablet gamers are going to be purchasing a dedicated Linux gaming machine that isn’t a daily driver computer. Heck, most Americans don’t even have a desktop nowadays. I don’t think there’s a price out for the steam machine yet but we’re talking over $1000 right? Probably more like $1500 once you factor in peripherals? That’s a TON of money for a casual tablet/phone gamer to drop on something that they won’t also be using as a regular computer.

I guess, but anyone buying a steam machine is gonna have to research the specs anyways, and more exhaustively, check to see if every game they like is supported. I get why open-source enthusiasts are excited about this project and I am to, but in my opinion the cross-section of people who a) aren’t willing to build their own PC or even research different options and b) are willing to daily drive Linux are pretty slim. Especially when they find out they can’t play BF6.

Yes and no, if you don’t feel like doing a bunch of research pcpartspicker and reddit have all kinds of recommended PC builds at every budget level. You can also pay people to just build a PC for you. Also… pre-built gaming PCs have always been a thing? So I don’t really see the hype tbh.

But can it provide emotional support as well?!

Depends what you mean by “upper end”, but already 64GB is running for over $600. And it’s almost certainly going to get worse. I wouldn’t be stunned if 32GB tops out at close to $1000 next year.

Was it though??

Things I never said:

-The Philly PD are the good guys. -Burning the apartment blocks was just an oopsie.

The buildings that burned down were already evacuated. Nobody not in the MOVE compound died. I am not a lawyer either but I do not think attempting to forcibly evict someone would be considered malice. It is generally a legal thing for police to do if they have a warrant.

As usual I am frustrated by the lack of nuance on Lemmy. If you are not calling for the deaths of police officers you are a bootlicking fascist.

They dropped, in total, 3 pounds of bombs on a roof. Nobody was harmed by the explosions.

I literally said I am not defending the police department. People should absolutely have gone to jail for this, but explain to me how it’s murder for a police officer to shoot and kill someone who shot at them first, while legally trying to serve a warrant.

They dropped two 1.5 pound bombs, which did not hurt anyone directly. The plan was to set the building on fire and flush people out, which was a bad idea, but they didn’t just level the building with explosives or something.

Zero nuance as usual… just because I don’t think something was murder doesn’t mean I am defending them or their actions.

I am not defending the Philadelphia PDs actions here, which were clearly inappropriate, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say they “murdered” 11 people. If the PD kills someone while trying to serve an arrest warrant after being shot at, that is pretty clearly a lawful homicide and not murder. The death of the children could certainly be considered manslaughter but I don’t think it meets the standard for murder either since there was, arguably, no intention to kill them.
