Never trust any social media sites “private” chat.
Especially not one of the big ones run by weirdo fascists. You know Elmo is going to snoop on anyone relatively famous, or that just say something he doesn’t like.
In all honesty, there’s zero reason to even have accounts on them
Everyone’s different, and you can get used to a lot.
So some people might not be able to tell 90fps from 120fps, but I definitely notice. But if I played something at 90 for long enough, I’d get used to it and stop noticing how much worse it was from 120 fps.
I will say they don’t get near enough credit for not only adaptive triggers, but them working on damn near any game that appears on PlayStation even while on PC.
I bought a ps5 just for those triggers, and gave it away (but kept a controller) once it worked on PC.
That’s the direction Playstation needs to go. If they made a new controller with Hall Effect sticks and 4 back buttons they’d absolutely clean up. They came so close with the edge, but didn’t give a back button for half the face buttons. And went “replaceable” sticks that will eventually break instead of Hall Effect.
I don’t think it’s for training really.
It’s way more likely they want to get people together and talking about AI in the hopes they hear literally any plausible method of monetizing it. And stealing that idea.
With the added bonus when you check out, if you subscribe to it’s AI you get 50% off the drinks, if you don’t you get a month of the AI service with you’re drinks.
The way AI effects your brain is kind of like drugs. It’s feels fun and novel at first, and a lot of people get tired and let it go. Certain people are wired different and get hooked.
Maybe it’s because I just re-watched Snowfall, but it feel like when Franklin cooked up his first key and just gave it away. They’re trying to hook people who would never intially buy it, because some of them won’t be able to stop.
Back in the day wed hook up old desktops straight to living room PCs. There was no apps so we’d just go to websites.
I’d be surprised if there isn’t some kind of raspberry pi mini PC with a good guinerap around Linux.
Some people will use a PlayStation/Xbox as well.
I think my comment is more about privacy than ads
I agree …
Everyone else was talking about one thing, and you acted like I was talking about a bunch of other things.
That’s why you’re confused, we were talking about ads, and you got upset we weren’t having another discussion.
Now why are antelopes the super ungulates?
See how little sense that makes?
We’re talking about ads (and maybe privacy) on TV’s mate…
It’s not even personal opinion, it’s objective fact…
Amazon shoves ads on everyone of their products far and above any competitors.
Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.
The track record for people using that condescending phrase while not understanding what’s happening continues…
The smart TVs operate on Android TV, made by Google.
Amazon uses their own version of Android, and that’s where all the shitty stuff comes from.
I’ve got a nice name brand android TV, the only ads are “this movie is on streaming” or “this show premieres in a week”.
I got a cheap Amazon TV in another room, in the same place for ads on the home screen, it has ads for random products
There is a marked difference. They are “better” at this. Obviously no one in 2025 thinks google is “good”
Great…
AI spam advertising for AI.
Show companies that they don’t need to fear bubble bursts, and they’re make bigger bubbles.
We’d have been better off letting the 08 crash eat all the corporations. Instead we gave them the money they used to buy up finate resources we have to rent from them.
This is a card game to them, they’re sitting at the table in Vegas and are doing anything they can to make it look like the company is valuable just long enough to con someone else into buying it.
It’s not even a card game, it’s lotto scratchers.
A card game implies they give thought and treat each situation unique and change strategies
They’re buying billion dollar companies left and right hoping for a quick payday because they’re obsessed with watching their bank account numbers go up.
but they’re putting out one game every generation
That wasn’t as big of a deal when it was a two year console cycle…
But I think for hardware and software, consoles keep wanting to hit metrics, because that’s what the parent company looks at.
The result is usually all flash and every game hitting the same points that were popular 5 years ago when development started
There’s no risks, so there’s no payoff. They have built in audiences so they still make money and keep getting paid.
Shit only changes when an I die game blows up and AAA try to integrate what made that game popular.
I wanted to love the original and sunk a lot of hours into it…
But it just never really scratched that HoMM itch like I wanted.
All the “endless” games seem super interesting and I love the never ending lore. It just feels like something is missing from all their games.
The new HoMM still just has “2025” as a release date, no idea when it’s actually releasing
No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.
Quarterly earnings…
183 million Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, an increase of 2.6 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025
128 million Disney+ subscribers, an increase of 1.8 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025
But internally they monitor this metric on a day-to-day metric, people are absolutely losing their shit over the cancellation at Disney.
Yeah, pressure at all levels.
You can also look at a local station’s website and see advertising partners. Not the little fish that buy 1-2 ads a year for a local business, the ones that get their ads ran the most and in the best timeslots.
That’s where pressure is best applied on affiliates
Only Disney has those numbers, and releasing them would tank the stock that’s already dipping.
There is zero reason for them to admit what is happening.
Also of note, trump is pushing for it to go from quarterly to (I think) annual reports, so companies will be able to hide this stuff for longer, the whole time doing insider trading.
That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.
The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.
But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.
Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.
The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money
Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.
It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations
Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless
But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.
When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.
Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.
He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.
There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
It literally happened right after they fired a bunch of humans to lean more on AI…
