I hate where society is at right now. I just want to skip ahead to where the social contract makes it standard to prevent this sort of hostile behavior. Or something. I refuse to accept that it’s me, and my age or culture makes me so deeply discordant to current socioeconomic practices.

- Comment on Why do people are so fine with Warframe monetization methods? 5 days ago:
Shrug. People like their ways. As I get older, elitism is somehow making less sense. But just as other people are allowed to like gambling or paying a ton to support a game they like in a way that I don’t, or even think is bad for everybody, so to, then, am I allowed to say what I think and they to downvote me for doing so.
I think people make whatever things they need to, work. I don’t like the effects it has on expectations within the community and industry, but if people enjoy paying into a game that may not even be fun… Then that’s kind’ve whatever.
For what it’s worth, I have heard the game is a good game, despite it having atrocious monetization. That’s just not for me, as it takes away far more than it gives.
It’s kind’ve like how everybody’s experiences are different, and so our perspectives are all different, and so then our values and opinions. I’m truly not even bothered by disagreement with my comment, I’m the one that came in here and offered up my negative opinion. And it has been read, and nobody’s been banned and nobody’s been hurt and everybody’s a little more aware of each other. That’s good jizz, to me.
I appreciate your support, though. I also wish rational discussion took place more often than screeching or mic dropping or other rhetoric. But, again, people do what they can, and it’s all good. No harm, no foul.

Yeah warframe’s monetization being that shitty free to play model is prime era shitty f2p, and one of the main reasons why I now don’t play f2p games, battlepass, seasonal, or any of that other shit monetization.
I’ll pay 50,60,70,80,90,100 bucks once for your game, assuming it’s good enough…
BUT IT BETTER BE FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH
- Comment on What does DLSS do, and what's up with DLSS 5? 5 days ago:
Renders at a lower resolution (to make game run better), then uses phycology tricks to postprocess and overlay specific little things to make it seem not as low of resolution.
Nslopia decided that since they were using “Deep Learning” to “Super Sample” and do what I said above, they figured, why not use “Deep Learning” to make the image look “better”, too?
Putting it overly simply (ELi5)…
DLSS uses machine learning to do two things:
- figure out, in real time, what’s going on on-screen
- change it in some way
All that DLSS 5 changes is to use real life professional photography in stage 2, instead of trying to be subtle and use existing higher resolution videogame images/look. It’s an interesting experiment just for fun, but some disrespectful, greedy, simpleton MBA with bad taste obviously saw it and thought “oh yes”.

That seems like a pretty spot on, organic way of figuring out how it works.
The issue I still have is the people who seemingly still only see white and gold or whatever. Is it trolling? Is it being pedantic? Can those people not read captchas? Do they just have trouble? Is it just to make a point? Mental inflexibility? It’s a damn mystery.

- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, the way they function is not to ever go down in value unless it results in hoarding even more cash. At this point, we know the problem is functionally parasitoidal and entirely unacceptable. Also unfortunately for us, it’s both the actors and the systems of ideas and values.
Don’t milk their accounts by charging them more, we must overcome their rhetoric through intelligence and wisdom, and do so whilst bearing the brunt of the very effects of being possessed by the creatures and values, and then redistribute their money back to the correct places in society that it would have been, had this disease not taken root in the first place, using said developed empathy, wisdom, intelligence, and logistics to expell them.
The reason DEI and trans people stuff is such a threat is because those maturations of society touched on the very nerves of them to begin with. Equality, compassion, justice, logic, and tearing down the hypnotizing fences that they’ve been herding and corralling us into serving their flawed and violent worldviews.
We are the slaves building the pyramids, we could be free and healthy, but instead we become satisfyingly vengeful over fantasies over charging a billionaire an extra zero to serve him. This is not the way.
Do not become the oppressor. Do not build the Torment Nexus for any price. These are the dark ways that lead to imprinting values and shame and goals onto society and result in positions like the CEO of a publicly traded company serving shareholders becoming a billionaire. Do not build the Torment Nexus. Do not build the Torment Nexus.
Holy shit. Stop building the Torment Nexus.
There are other ways to make your life better and making actual cool shit. Like infrastructure and entertainment and medicine and tasty heathy food and things that actually make people’s lives better.
I write this as a response to your comment, but we’re both well aware that I’m writing this to anybody who will read it. I really hope that the understanding of what we should focus on isn’t personal enrichment to save one’s own ass. That’s okay, you still have to put your own mask on, but the much higher priority is to stop these madmen from destroying society from their high seats and dark towers out of sight. The system’s chokehold on ourselves to continue to only serve the masters to survive is strong, but we must not lose sight or the hope of the true goals of ridding ourselves of these parasites and the ideas they personify.
Cheers, gesundheit, godzilla.

- Comment on CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court 1 week ago:
It’s because in order to become a ceo, you have to be a very specific type of person, and the role also attracts this trait of putting money above all else, which fits perfectly to the role.
Imagine if you invested in a company that helmed a ceo that didn’t try to make more money. Right? You’d be upset as the investor-role that your money wasn’t working for you, and would take the guy out.
This is the common, public opinion.
So the same goes for the CEO: that maximum money be made by being different and taking good chances and staying on top of the technology curve. And OpenAI has been, at least what they, themselves, purport, overwhelmingly successful.
This is all to say that the role of CEO draws a ton of people who think a lot of themselves and their abilities, because they think fake it until you make it is the role, because it largely is: you have to make bets on decisions to lead like that. Which makes CEOs this sort of hollow, fake-person sort of capitalist sociopath.
And them betting on AI-first, then, makes a ton of sense if you’re that specific type of person. Because, unless you have your own skills and opinions, you will be beholden to the dumbest, fakest, skewed statistical other bullshitters in the world.
Right now, the companies making all these mistakes that all of us with actual skills and opinions can clearly see, those are just the companies that don’t matter, that are leeching off the backs of real industries. Like a group of kids all cheating off each other in a test, and suddenly a bunch of them get the same wrong answer.
They’re literally the people, and boards of people who put them there, who have no fucking idea what they’re doing, and in my personal opinion, are very clearly illustrating a weak point with society and humanity and our values and structures across the world. We’ll get past this one, for sure. But there will be more. That is the both the curse and the gift of existence.
