Bro $4,000 OLED TVs are riddled with rows of home screen ads. What are you talking about that paid content has no ads? ALL CONTENT HAS FUCKING ADS. This has gotten absurd. Fuck ads.
Yea. Separate but related issues I suppose. I just feel like even when we pay tons of money for expensive products, we will get ads. Even modern cars are collecting an obscene amount of data even though we pay a shit ton of money for them. It’s completely out of control.
Man…you said the issue with all of this is people not willing to pay to remove ads. I’m saying that even when you buy expensive products, you still have ads. So ads are everywhere, regardless of whether you pay or use free products. The entire business model is fucked. That’s what I’m saying. I’m not sure what it causing the confusion here.
Account creation fatigue. I’m personally not fond of creating a one-off account for every fucking game I play on steam. It’s enough already. EA account, ubisoft account, rockstar account, PSN account, xyz account, ugh. Every new account I create is just an additional attack vector for when all of these companies eventually get hacked. I get occasional emails about security breaches or unauthorized attempts for random ass accounts I created years ago, and it’s so frustrating. I don’t even have a playstation. It’s just so annoying. I’m sick of it. I don’t believe for a fucking second that Sony is requiring this for “security and safety.” Those fucks just want to inflate their user numbers for the shareholders and collect our data to sell to 3rd parties. I am so fucking sick of this shit already. I bought the game on steam. Just let me use my steam account only god dammit.
Hey. Maybe don’t post strangers on the Internet without their consent? I’m going to guess maybe you wouldn’t appreciate it if someone did that to you, and you woke up to find yourself trending on Lemmy?
As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....
Same. I play games to enter a relaxation state after a long day at work. Playing a 45 minute cutthroat CS2 match with my friends where I have to be at attention constantly, while they’re all screaming at each other for being bad, isn’t exactly my idea of relaxation…
(TL;DR): I love being terrified, and this has led me to a fascination with imagining being a witness to / a victim of various tragedies. Is that weird?...
Yea i agree. It’s also a failure of our useless government to put regulations in place. I’m not sure what to do either. I’m very concerned for half the labor force being laid off overnight in favor of AI as well. Especially white collar jobs.
We are so fucked lol. If we’re even debating whether it’s AI then we’re fucked. How do you know what’s real anymore? We cannot trust literally any photographs or audio recordings now. Thx OpenAI you stupid greedy fucks.
Google how to do it. You’re supposed to cut the clove in half as well with the cut side face up? Something like that. I did it a few times a while ago and it was incredible.
Fun fact. You can bake a clove of garlic in the oven with oil. Salt, and pepper, and then eat it with a spoon after. It turns into more of a mush with a way more mellow flavor. You can also scoop it out and spread it on toast or bread. You’re welcome.

In all seriousness. Great game. Definitely their best. Definitely the least cringe. Heavy rain is a meme game and a classic, but I can’t get over the fact that the main playable female character in that game is literally ONLY there to function as a sexual object that fucks the main character, takes care of him, and gets assaulted in her underwear. Luckily Detroit didn’t seem to have nearly as much of that cringe bullshit. David Cage writes video game scripts like a fucking incel, so glad Detroit was a welcome change of pace.
