ringwraithfish,

I’ve been a PC gamer for 3 decades. Most budget conscious PC gamers I know upgrade individual components as needed. Done this way, you can easily get more for your money than having to buy a new console every cycle.

ringwraithfish,

The way I see it: PC has a high upfront cost with minimal maintenance/upgrade cost to continue using it with newer releases for years.

Consoles have a cheaper upfront cost but no maintenance/upgrade. Once it’s obsolete (as determined by the industry, not the owner) then you are forced to buy a new console for new releases.

For me, in practice, I know for a fact that I have spent less on my PC components and games than I would if I wanted the same experience on a console.

I think he’s talking about the next Mass Effect game.

ringwraithfish,

Holy fuck that’s hilarious. I’m definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.

ringwraithfish,

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

ringwraithfish,

They probably realized it’s not profitable because 90% of a user’s visits are home, work, store… wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

ringwraithfish,

Good. I hope more forced live service games flop so execs will get it in their heads it’s ok not to make a live service game and still make money from it.

ringwraithfish,

Just a reminder to everyone that it’s fun to hope it’s aliens, but Occam’s Razor suggests it isn’t and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

ringwraithfish,

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

ringwraithfish,

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

ringwraithfish,

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

ringwraithfish,

Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?

Yes

ringwraithfish,

I see you’re describing a case-by-case basis, but I’m still failing to see how it’s case-by-case. /s

ringwraithfish,

Enshitification. Private equity buys up everything, squeezes it for all its worth, forces it to lose all its customers, and then sells off all remaining physical assets (land, buildings).

Look behind the downfall of most big country wide names and you’ll see a private equity firm running this same playbook right around the time they started losing quality.

ringwraithfish,

They think they own most of the guns because they’ve built a whole culture around it. What they don’t realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn’t “I’m a gun owner” so they don’t go around hoopin’ and hollarin’ that they own guns.

ringwraithfish,

Furiosa's Box Office Opening Explained: What The Hell Happened With The Mad Max Prequel?! (screenrant.com)

Furiosa’s opening weekend numbers have been a point of discourse for many trades after its release. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Furiosa slumped to a $26 million gross between Friday, May 24, and Sunday, May 26. However, Furiosa was released over the Memorial Day weekend, taking its estimated domestic total to...

ringwraithfish,

Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.

ringwraithfish,

I don’t know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

ringwraithfish,

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

ringwraithfish,

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

ringwraithfish,

I’ll be dead. They can have all of that.

ringwraithfish,

We ultimately don’t know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what’s going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.
