  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

  • I haven't experienced any bugs that I can recall, but I was disappointed with Death Stranding too.

    I was so hyped up because I love the Metal Gear Solid games so when I heard that Kojima was creating a new IP and it was going to have a great cast of actors supporting it and it was based on a post apocalyptic world where ghosts are attacking people, I was vibrating with excitement.

    Then I found out that it's a walking simulator about delivering packages.

    Ok, maybe it's still good?

    Well it's all good and great in some ways and check off almost all of the boxes you would expect from a AAA game, except one. It's just not fun or relaxing or challenging or interesting. I put it down halfway through and I can't remember who/what/where/why, so now I have to start over or be lost.

    It's just so damn tedious and there's no sense of satisfaction. Tedious is work and I get plenty of that at work.

  • I'm just pointing out the fact that it's almost always used as a slur and context matters. Just because there are worse slurs out there doesn't mean that cis isn't being used as a slur.

    What am I supposed to be getting over?

    Nice gaslighting by the way. Seems a bit weird that pointing out a word is being used as a slur means that I'm not an ally.

  • I have to disagree. If it's used as an slur, then it's a slur and more often than not, it's used as a slur.

    Every time I've ever seen cis used it was always in a negative context and I've never seen it used in positive context. The only time I've seen it used was on reddit and this is first time I've seen it on the fediverse. But in my opinion that just proves my point, it's not a widely accepted name to call someone.

    Seems a lot like some people are trying to justify and normalize an insult. It's about labeling people so they fit in a box and are marginalized, it's also about feeling empowered to those that use it, so it's a slur.

  • Can China just steal America’s AI brain that’s costing trillions to develop?

    Jump

  • The only thing I have found useful about Ai is it's ability to quickly fill in documents with slop to make it seem like I spent more time and effort on it. Usually something like, I put it together with major points and frame work, then give to Ai to slop it up and format it. Then proof it and send it out. It's also good for note taking and transcripts.

    Other than that it seems like it's just another form of control because now it can search data and make decisions quickly and cheaply now. This means that things that weren't worth making time for in the past can just be given to Ai to track. In fact my company is playing around with using Ai to track our progress on projects so that the PMs don't have to interact with engineers directly. I would also bet that it will be used to assess performance in future annual performance reviews.

    Companies are also hoping to get rid of employees that perform those menial tasks that support staff do and get rid of employees that do tasks that they believe don't require specialized skills or talents.

  • Must be a pic from a few years ago, now they're basically town homes with about 3ft in between them so they can cram more in but still list it as a single house. Plus just enough land to fit the structure on, then they sell it for twice as much as the 20yo house down the road with at least an acre.

  • YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows

  • Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now

    Jump

  • You could never really build a better PC for the same price, consoles were always $300 to $400 cheaper than the equivalent PC at launch by design. Pre gen4 consoles really had to compete with Arcades and gen4 to gen 6 really only had to compete with each other. Gen 6 and after now have strong competition from PC and mobile.

    PC suffered from a lack of eco system, cost, and complexity. Consoles were sold at a loss at launch because the software was tied to the proprietary hardware and they could make their money back by offering exclusive games and pay to play online.

    Now consoles are just under powered custom PCs and Steam/GOG have built eco systems for PC to make PC gaming more friendly and now Steam is building hardware to make PC gaming more affordable. Plus with cloud gaming everyone can stream just about any game no matter what hardware they have.

    Nintendo will probably hang on the longest with their unique hardware and IPs that will never ever get ported to another system, at least not until Nintendo no longer builds their own hardware.

    AI and Cloud gaming will probably be the biggest thing to revolutionize the gaming industry and probably the most destructive since Atari over saturated the market. At least in the short term.

  • ‘Humans use lot of energy too’: OpenAI’s Sam Altman on resources consumed by AI, data centres

  • How about he ask AI how to fix it's own problems. We created an infrastructure for us humans so he can go kick rocks and figure his own problems instead of expecting us to do it.

  • So Sony said something similar about milking it's current customer base more by charging more for services/software and not really offering anything new in return. Console gaming maybe dead or at least the next generation will most likely be the last.

    I don't see consoles surviving for much long with so many things working against them like AI, cloud services, mobile offerings, PC alternatives, and increasing hardware costs.

    Also if AI can predict what I'm going to do and do it for me then what if that's not what I was going to do. It would suck the joy out of actually doing the things. Single player games probably don't matter as much but feel like it would ruin PVP like overly aggressive aim assist.

  • North Korean POW in Ukraine: 'There is nothing I can do if they don't take me'

    Jump

  • TLDR-

    North Korea sends troops to Ukraine to fight/die for Russia. Tells them that if they are captured then they must commit suicide or be labeled a traitor. Some soldiers fail to properly kill themselves and are captured.

    The question now is what to do with them. If they return them to NK then they will probably be tortured and executed, if they grant them asylum in Ukraine or South Korea then NK may use that as an excuse to increase hostility. Geneva convention requires that they return them to NK.

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • Blue collar (blue coveralls class) is just a derogatory term to describe someone that doesn't wear a white collar (business suit class) to work. But it sorta turned into a badge of honor by the blue collar class over the years, but it's meant to be an insult by the white color class.

    It has nothing to do with skilled or non-skilled labor or education, it's supposed to be an insult based on the clothes required to wear to work.
