  • AI is a fad and when it collapses, it's going to do more damage than any percieved good it's had to date.

  • I was looking at getting a Switch 2 MicroSD card for a gift and shit's bonkers, yo.

    I get they changed the standard for the Switch 2, but $300 for 1TB?

  • I mean, I don't think "Being John Malkovich" was ever adequately explained, but I aint even mad. 😉

  • If the disc exists, yes, but I'm talking about going to a store on launch day and not being able to find the big new release.

  • If it goes all digital next generation I won't be bothering. I didn't leave gaming, gaming is leaving me.

    Cool, cool, plenty of backlog to get through...

  • This is about physical sales, not digital.

  • For physical software, it's super hard to buy it if stores aren't stocking it.

    The Xbox section doesn't really exist at Target, Walmart, or Costco anymore, and it's on the way out at Best Buy. Naturally that's going to have an impact on sales.

    Further, Microsoft doesn't seem interested in physical sales anymore. I probably would have bought Avowed if it existed in meat-space, it doesn't. I had a really hard time sourcing Indiana Jones and Outer Worlds 2.

    On the hardware side, I already have this generations worth of hardware (PS5, XSX, Steam Deck), and I'm not interested in all the baggage on the Switch 2.

    Plus, hardware prices are up.

    So the surprise would be if sales hadn't gone down.

    [Trigger Warning: Suicide]... Parents, how would you feel if your child died by suicide?

    Jump

  • As a parent, I'd feel that I had failed on some fundamental level. That our kid reached a point where taking their own life was a more viable option than talking to me? Yeesh.

  • What happens if the AI bubble kept inflating and popped only after 10 years(2036)?

    Jump

  • Housing is a bubble, but we won't see problems until the boomers start dying off in quantity and there aren't enough people to buy/rent their properties.

    All real estate will start being devalued and it won't matter if private companies are snapping up the vacancies.

  • Failure of a retailer isn't necessarily quite the same thing as a bubble though. I witnessed the kind of failure you're talking about most recently with Fry's Electronics. I was out of pocket following major surgery for a year, when I went back to Fry's it was like "Oh, holy hell, what happened?"

    Well, their distributors cut them off, they tried to move to a consignment model, and the only stuff they had in any quantity was Gatorade and toilet paper. 😉 Man, if only they had made it to Covid! They could have...

    Cleaned up!

  • What happens if the AI bubble kept inflating and popped only after 10 years(2036)?

    Jump

  • "Only" 10 years makes it sound shorter than it should be. 10 years is way, way longer than any bubble should last.

    https://www.riskconcern.com/post/the-average-age-of-a-market-asset-bubble-how-long-does-a-bubble-last-on-average

    "an economic, asset, market bubble lasts for about 5.6 years or about 67.5 months. 98% confidence interval indicates a range of 3.1 years to 8.15 years. Thus, as per the data, there is a 98% probability that a bubble should have an age of 5.3 years ± 2.53 years."

    p.s. I love that their data goes back as far the Tulipmania in 1634-1638.

    More on that in the excellent book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds."
