“After backlash,” of course.
You heard it here first, folks. Businesses will try to fuck you over if they can get away with it.
It has nothing to do about keeping the lights on.

Eh, I don’t think the series would be as bad if it didn’t have his coke-addled ass dictating which direction it should go.

I agree. Modern developers use technology to cover up for creative bankruptcy.

I’m noticing music is having the same drawbacks as graphics in video games.
People keep “adding more” just because they can, not because it’s necessary or improves the final product.
Anime also has this issue with most modern animes having music playing 90% of the time because they can afford it. It reduces the integrity of the art down to that of a slapstick comedy.

The music for Spyro was great because they hired someone with professional experience in the industry, Stewart Copeland of The Police.
More often than not, great music in video games comes about from paying composers appropriate salaries and letting them do their thing.
It’s easy to hire Joe Shmoe for a bargain who will just put in “drums of war,” which is what most developers end up doing.

Maybe this is true, maybe it isn’t.
I know that video game music has gotten significantly worse as technology has improved. Something can sound “professional” because it has an actual orchestra, but the the composition leaves a lot to be desired.
Jim Sterling put it best when he said the music for Stranger of Paradise was just “vague orchestral walls of noise.”

Couldn’t people say the same shit when regular cars were new and there was an accident?
“That’s why you’ll never see thousands of them going down a highway at 80 miles an hour.” -1920s idiot who needs to get their crystal ball checked.
- Comment on Flying cars crash into each other at Chinese air show 3 hours ago:
We don’t have flying cars because technology has not progressed enough to make it economically viable for the masses.

Thanks, Legal Department
Another reason why I have 0 respect for anyone working in legal departments for businesses. They are unnecessary and make things worse to justify their existence.

Restricting your diet and skipping meals is the best way to lose weight.

Laptops are extremely useful. It really doesn’t make sense to avoid them.
I pretty much treat mine as my second brain.

If it’s free software, then anyone can implement the fixes themselves.
Doing so with proprietary software would be illegal.

This it’s why there is nothing “smart” in my house.
Sorry, this is just a funny statement.

All the useful idiots wasting their money on this crap are getting exactly what they deserve.

How come we can’t design energy storage that lifts something heavy when there’s excess power, and lets it fall to generate electricity when needed?
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 3 hours ago:
Good.
If we’re going to pretend corporations are people, then we should treat them like slaves.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 3 hours ago:
Because Linux is free software, we can implement the fixes ourselves.
Doing so with Windows or Crapple would literally be illegal.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 3 hours ago:
These multi-billion dollar corporations have more than enough resources to provide updates for 15 years.
There’s nothing insane about it, unless you’ve been conditioned to live vicariously through business owners.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 3 hours ago:
Pretty sure Rocky Linux provides updates for 10 years.
It’s not asking too much for multi-billion dollar corporations to provide 15 years of updates.
They have more than enough resources.

I have no sympathy for anyone using microsoft products.
They made their bed, now they get to sleep in it.
