Nah, was kind of a joke. I had put off playing FF games for years, and bought X-2 not really knowing FF (was aware of 7) but thinking “it’s the latest one out, so probably the best?”

About 20 minutes in I realized it was probably not the best introduction to the series.

Have played a number since.

I’ve played FF X-2, there’s no point in playing another one, right?

That’s one of its jobs

I don’t understand the reply. I was replying to the topic. I’m not a fan of Epic either but people are being kinda stupid about some of the justifications for the hate.

Also true, but that’s not what I’m replying to.

For what it’s worth Xrdp seems to work well on Linux

Even on Wayland?

Star Citizen I guess. If by “well” it is meant “making lots of money”

But yeah it’s not realistic at all for 99+% of devs/games

hey, I’m going to give you a $5 Million exclusivity deal

This isn’t something they need to.do, as they have a monopoly.

Also, the content is statically-generated only, I guess? No server-side rendering? No POSTing, etc? Or…is this creating some cache based on a real server it contacts…?

It must be some sort of base pessimism thing. My automatic assumption was that it was benevolent and intentional.

Well, millions of morons are still buying their shit (including power products and services), and investors are super pleased, and Elon and other execs are making out like bandits. And there’s no sign of that changing dramatically.

So pretty well, as far as they’re concerned.

Sadly, lots of fucking morons are still buying their shit.

Fewer, but lots.

OK, but currently it’s at least in the (relatively) good phase of the cycle

Well because why would someone look at Lemmy as a TikTok replacement

So, better than TikTok?

Actually I always thought it was insane that they DIDN’T try the same insane plan more than once.

Like, half the time Cobra’s crazy plan ALMOST worked. But either luck or some fixable hole in the plan stopped it. But if they just tried it again but just learn from the failure, address the problems they hit, and try again. Maybe even a third time.

But no, they’d always just try some other totally insane plan instead. Every time.

In this case they’re trying stuff that has, in some cases, worked.

I don’t think they’re shooting for Germany 1938. They’re shooting closer to Putin’s Russia. One of many “successful” totalitarian takeovers.

They won’t.

Isn’t this a tenet of Buddhism?

If you’re being tested on how well you understand something, using AI during an exam isn’t going to help you much unless it’s something that could be understood very quickly.

What? Why not?
