• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, that’s a dumb take. Denuvo does protect from casual piracy, that’s why companies use it, if only temporarily.

  It also negatively affects legit consumers, and that is the problem - these publishers have decided that potential profit matters more than actual, realized customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The short answer is just that doing so would be ridiculously difficult and expensive. Funnily enough, “launch it into the sun” is actually the easy part at this point. If we could collect all of the ocean’s trash, we probably would have done so and compressed it by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just put it in the middle and I bet 90% of then would miss it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They would quickly learn that this person doesn’t exist (I think it’s the professor’s dog?), and ask the prof about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Outlaw AirBnB and corporate ownership of residences or the amount of housing will literally never matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn’t going to change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get good.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct but obviously exaggerating. I’d love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter “using” 4-syllable words 🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weight loss jabs for unemployed not dystopian, says Wes Streeting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except there’s literally none of that 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liberals are losing their minds over Elon Musk⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla is much better than anything else on the market.

  In what way?

  • They have had more digital recalls than any other product ever developed in the history of digital recalls.

  • They also rate among the 10 highest in physical recalls and required maintenance, despite EVs on average needing far less maintenance than combustion engines.

  • Tesla’s build quality is notoriously bad, with some of the widest part tolerances in the industry. Panels are regularly off by as much as 5° and 2mm.

  I had a Tesla. That car was amazing

  Have you had other EVs, or was this your only dip into the market? Which ones?

  Oh no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What letter has the best games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Either F, T, or S… but probably T.

  F has Final Fantasy, Fallout, Factorio

  S has Staisfactory and Super anything (incl Mario)

  T has The ______. The list is too long to even start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These buildings have been around for longer than the companies that moved in and then went bankrupt 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, just play Black Flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calif. Governor vetoes bill requiring opt-out signals for sale of user data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s a liberal capitalist stooge. All of his decent-to-good policies are social, and virtually every financial or corporate decision is dogshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To be more useful, robots need to become lazier.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but game engines also hold the entire world inside themselves. There’s no guessing, no estimating, no making sure that what it’s looking at is actually a human or a bush - it already knows that.

  The problem with computer vision being lazy is that it can’t ignore something without understanding what it’s looking at, and it can’t understand what it’s looking at without analyzing the data. It’s a circular problem, and will be ridiculously hard to solve, because the crux of the issue is that we as people are analyzing that same data, we just don’t realize it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seeing the decrease in the % of Outlast players who achieved basic game progress, I find it amusing to think about those who chickened out mid-game and never returned.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  25% is honestly probably high

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone voting Democrat or Republican is complicit in Genocide and should face tribunals.

  Really great job silencing yourself to prove a point. People without voices are great at enacting change 🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We use a first past the post system. Stop denying reality as if your third party candidate matters in the slightest. Until we get some sort of ranked choice/etc, they literally couldn’t matter less

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This will have very little effect on SF. All of their staff that was here are going to stay here - they’re not going to follow fucking X to whatever ass-backwards state Musk chooses 😂🤣

  So, to recap:

  • we have a huge office that will eventually bring in another major company,
  • the area keeps all of its best talent, and
  • we get rid of the grifter that regularly refuses to pay their rent/lease, taxes, and insurance bills?

  Hell yeah, of course this is a win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of obviously fake tipoffs in this one. The overall scrawny bitch aesthetic, the fact she is wearing a club/bar wrist band, the bottle of Mom Party Select™ wine, and the persons thumb/knee in the frame… All those details are initially plausible until you see the shitty AI artifacts.

  This is an edited photo, and literally every “artifact” you pointed out is present in the original. You’re not nearly as good as spotting fakes as you think you are.

  All of the deta8ls you pointed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …did you just post 6 completely random articles as if there was some sort of point other than “news sites report lots of different news?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this plug on my wall for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a plug, but a fuse box - that small panel would open up/pull out to let you replace the fuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨does it make sense to ask your soon to be former coworkers if they'll work there in 2 years?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why on earth would you ask them that? They probably don’t know any better than you do - ask them if they’re still there in when you’re thinking of moving back. It would be very weird to ask before you even leave, IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Ohio have stock for the new cannabis stores that just opened?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer is a lot more straightforward than most of your responses here: medical marijuana was already legal in Ohio, so it was already around. Those growers/distributors/shops simply ramped up their operations to get ready for the wider market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I refuse to get a Switch because, I genuinely dislike Nintendo as a company. Though thats for another time.

  Absolutely wild to hate Nintendo but support Microsoft or Sony 😅 they’ve got their share of sins, sure, but they aren’t nearly as anti-competitive or scummy as the other two, especially not if you look deeper than the surface.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are mentioning handheld consoles when talking about handheld consoles? So weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We finally know what caused the global tech outage - and how much it cost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ll see how fucked they are from SLA breaches/etc., and then we’ll see how many companies jump ship to an alternative. We won’t see the real fallout from this event for months or years.

  Did they not already have this? There are literally hundreds of these, are they really all third-party? JFC, Nintendo…
