In other words: Snake oil salesman back paddles after the ice he‘s standing on got very thin.

It‘s sad really, because we always praise their efforts in our game group when another update drops. Like, we can barely fathom the devs still improving it and for that price!

It‘s baffling to hear other players have taken this gift from the devs as a free pass to criticize them endlessly. I guess they‘ve been spoiled too much? Seeing as the game is still sitting at a very good rating on Steam I guess it must be a tiny screaming minority.

Anyway, imagine how these players would react if the devs dropped a banger DLC for 5 bucks. You would never hear the end of it.

I‘m always amazed by Peak‘s updates because they literally don‘t have to do it. Nobody is asking them to… except I now learn that some ungrateful players do, apparently. Like, I know it‘s not perfect and many of those QoL updates are deeply appreciated but for the price it was already a very good game. People need to learn to appreciate things. Seriously.

What do you mean? The system already exists in Germany and whatever website or app asking if you‘re an adult will only get exactly that information. Not your face, not your name, not even your age. They will simply receive a verified Y/N from a government service. Needless to say no US company implemented it because they would miss out on a lot of sweet sweet data.

I too classify this as common Fernweh. They earn for something different and fresh but most of them will never leave for more than a month or two and even those who do migrate will come back after a few years. Most of the time.

But it doesn‘t mean that‘s a bad thing at all. I think cultural exchange like that is a good sign. They know there is something else out there and there‘s at least a longing to explore it. If anything, more people should actually attempt it and not just say they would like to.

Figures. Patents are the backbone of capitalism. Some say it invented capitalism as we know it.

People know the U.S. better than almost any other country. The U.S. is very loud while China is rather quiet. And that‘s not from a lack of trying from China‘s side. It makes sense people feel stronger about someone so loud. Someone who had influenced the world so much with pop culture and politics.

Personally I still prefer the U.S. over China but that‘s a very low bar. As a European I want to be more independent from both.

Same package, different price tag.

Some of us may lose their basic human rights but that‘s a sacrifice shareholders are willing to make.

Suing AI companies for the biggest heist in history: 🥱

Ban basic human rights for profit: 🤑

Enshittification has come a long way over the last 60 years. Let‘s hope aliens won‘t detect us or they might pulverize this blue dot before the stupid spreads.

Now I wonder if the ISS has one IP address and they can use the same Netflix account or if it keeps changing so they‘ll lose access before they‘ll return to earth.

EU commission is where EU politicians are sent by their parties when they are too corrupt and/or unpopular in their own country. It‘s by design.

Big EU Commission L as per usual. Maybe we should rename them to EU Corruption?

That‘s funny because I firmly believe they showcased DLSS5 at that time in this state only to cover up news coverage about their Palantir partnership and passionate support for Israel. It was genius.

It’s executives cutting jobs because they want the money now and run away with it. Oracle is basically speedrunning their end.

A bit late, isn‘t it? The saudis loaded it with debt and I doubt EA will exist for very long.

They‘re going full tech feudalism. There will be a shortage of everything. Especially of electricity and clean water.

I think it would be more interesting to know how they handle losing a few stars at this point.

Makes sense. DW is German and consuming to anything related to Israel in the mainstream German media landscape drives you insane very quickly. You think our press is stellar compared to most places but it‘s a bizzaro world when it comes to the near east. The lies and double think is unbearable.
