Ah, yes, can’t wait for the time when humanity totally stagnates because we can’t even count on old people dying off to get rid of their outdated ideals. Gaben might have good ones but plenty of older people in power do not.

Biing, i know many see it as an adult game only but it was genuinely difficult to survive the first day financially in that one and also it had a lot of decent jokes.

The way you describe it it might be unique in a different way, being the only good triple A game in recent years.

I genuinely thought it was a concept that was pretty much dead on arrival. A failed spin-off scam from the general blockchain scam.

Knowing the game industry right now they will probably sell you different colored shelves and wallpaper and dividers,… for a premium.

You are advocating for a game specific solution to a general capitalism problem. It would be much better to ban absurdly high profit margins in general than to be extremely heavy-handed in the game industry and let the problem continue in all the other areas where it actually matters a lot more.

Sure you can, criticisms like “takes up too much shelf space” or “is too heavy for my shelf”, “doesn’t go with the color of my wallpaper behind the shelf”.

I used to have a RAID6 (could lose two drives) without a backup, then some power surge killed 5 of the 12 disks. Trust me, you do want a backup.

The AAA warning label is pretty much like the Enterprise warning label for other types of software.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

I wouldn’t go that far, otherwise you would also kill off essentially third parties producing content a la Second Life or the asset stores in various game engines as well as services provided by players to other players.

It is really both, the law tries way too hard to pretend digital data is goods that can be thought of in individual instances like physical goods can. That is how misconceptions like “owning” or “reselling” are put into people’s heads in the first place.

All consumer software is only available as a license. That is how the law is written, if you hate that fact you need to lobby for changing the law.

You are not a victim for not getting all your old versions of software supported forever.

Honestly, the idiots running software that has been unsupported for years with gaping security holes that enabled botnets to attack everyone else are to blame for that one.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far, publicly announcing Denuvo support does sort of serve as a marker for horrible publishers and developers so players can avoid their games.

It is generous to call that only a trickle though.

It is dumb to trust physical media with copy protection. Those discs don’t last nearly as long as you think they will and you have no way to make a proper backup. You are trying to solve a legal/societal problem with a technical workaround, that never really works out.

You sound like one of those people who swear the gold plating on their digital audio cables improves the sound quality.

Still seems fairly narrow, the field where you train for literal RL tasks but can’t train on actual RL objects because those are living beings is fairly narrow in itself. Not to mention that there is a fairly limited number of them where you actually have to use your hands on the patient directly considering the prevalence of keyhole type surgeries in recent years where the actual patient contact is not the surgeon’s hands anymore.

I mean I am absolutely open to try it at some demo event or something like that, just can’t see myself using it regularly because it is such a hassle to put on, take off, do anything else while you use it, limits so much what you can do while gaming both in an out of the game,… and I already very rarely use first person perspective in existing games that do have the option not to. I also like automation and streamlined UIs so the idea of doing every little shitty thing manually is utterly unappealing.
