  The best part is they havent made a compelling game in 10 years. So i wont buy a game form them ever again either way. Its an easy life tbh.

  I dont need a laptop right now but damn this thing is sexy. Its been a long time hardware gave me that “do want” itch even though i dont need it. Even though it doenst come with a Ryzen SOC.

  show me that magic llm which doenst infringe the copyright of nearly everybody, which doesnt have an unprecedentet impact on the enviroment to train and run, which wont be used to cut of people from their income, which isnt owned by technocratic billionaire assholes, which isnt peddled and promoted by fascist goverments, which doesnt halluzinate, which isnt a blackbox, which actually works and doesnt fail at the simplest tasks sometimes, which doesnt infringe my privacy(allegedly tbf, but you know). the list goes on.

  sure, sure technology itself isnt evil. but thats not hill i want to die on in case of llms. they’re problematic on so many levels. full stop. i dont think its a naive take to have some skepticism against this clusterfuck. potentially some technologies could make the world a better place. but llms dont fit into this category.

  Why not both?

  i would look at the listing where you bought the product or just use a search engine.

  apart from that gratz. i like the pico platform. lots to dick around with. most of the big quest exclusives got ported over to pico.

  tbh not in the mood to argue with you about it. if your a hasan fan. fair enough. i’m not. as i said i dont consider him as bad as elon, not even in the same ball park. But i still consider him shit. I was subscribed to him even a few years ago. I’ve seen enough from first hand. My views on him arent filtered through takes from others.

  so i was about to give you the win by going silent and just leave it be.

  but:

  i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you. fuck off. get bent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin’s Creed Shadows devs roast Elon Musk amid feud with Hasan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wouldnt go as far as saying that hasan is a decent human being. no doubt, i rank im way higher than elmo. but that guy is still problematic on so many levels even if his believes align here there with my own. but to apply even more nuance to my shitpost: the most unfair part of my post was to generelise a single dev as a individual beeing just the soulless corporation of ubisoft.

  Hasan, Elon and Ubisoft… what is this, a shit triangle?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wreckfest 2 Launches With Transparent Early Access Woes And impressively destructive car crashes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a weird one for me.

  When the first Wreckfest(back then Next Car Game) launched as a crowdfunded game 12(?) years ago as an early access title it made sense. Flat Out as a franchise wasnt in their hands anymore and it hit rockbottom. So to develop a new game in a genre which had no competitor at the time with the community was compelling. Ngl the development was rocky at times. But in the end they made super good game. THQ Nordiq got on board with that funds for very big improvements in the tech it dearly needed. At times the game barely ran on high end PCs. But the engine got optimized so well it started to run well on last-gen consoles, then the switch and even mobile phones. But with that came also a lot of additions i really disliked. The physics got nerfed for the consoles but also on the pc, DLC galore, FOMO weekly events, the pretty realistic(ish) focus on folk racing shifted more into Flat Out 2 madness. The current game is very different to 1.0 .

  Either way: They again have a franchise with name recognition, they have a decently modern engine and game with lots of content to build upon and a publisher with funds. I dont see why an early access is needed? Especially in this super bare bones form with barely any cars or tracks(some even lifted from the last game) and nothing(!) else. I’ve put hundreds of hours into the last game. I still love it. Also i could really use finally a fresh new racing title after all the disappointments in the last years. But this… in this form isnt it. Meh
