Woke became a simple label for people who blamed women and minorities for their entertainment not living up to their explanation. It became a label for them to use without specifically saying that they didn't like depictions in the media they liked, which is a big reason they shy away from actually elaborating on what they mean by woke.

I thought it wasn't necessarily due to a lack of attempt to reach them through games, but that they saw "woke" as a reason for why games or movies turned out bad.

So not necessarily a hey fellow kids we play games too, but outrage over the medium they like flopping or not turning out how they wanted.

Like the amount of right wing reviewers for Star Wars and so on blaming woke targetting for why their franchises turned bad, and turning it into a culture war.

To a non US company please.

Yeah for the masses they will likely always flock to commercialized easy to use social media that reaches critical mass the fastest, so them being willing to move and keep moving is best we can hope for. For rest of us stuff like fediverse will be there to use.

Who wants a free final trip to El Salvador?

I wondered because Facebook. Mostly only know old people using it these days. Boomers and people who were young enough to have grown up using it when it first came out.

Consumerism is undefeated.

Are they old people?

One thing you can always count on is NVIDIA, Apple, and Nintendo fans to let you down when it comes to voting with their wallets.

Maybe they got addicted to gacha and burned through a car or houses worth.

Troll bot trying to discourage people.

Its positive in that he is trying to create mutants so the world can feel more like Marvel. Or maybe The Thing.

Yeah I've used heroic launcher, but a native launcher is still preferred. I like the GOG launcher on windows.

Yep that's my point. That they just assumed that it must be the case when that hasn't been the outcome with innovation not coinciding with improved affordable living. Instead it's just been further class divide despite advancements.

Innovation is its own separate thing from human outcomes, and advancement of improved human lives needs its own care and guidance. Its not going to improve just because science and tech is improving. Otherwise humans are no different than any other disposable resource from the view of the powers that be, and will be discarded and abused without care.

Which are separate things from people's ability to financially support themselves.

People can have smartphones and tech the past didn't have, but be increasingly worse off financially and unable to afford housing.

And you aren't a space explorer.

I'm not arguing about whether innovation is cool. It is.

I however strongly disagree with your claim that people being replaced is good. That assumes society is being guided with altruism as a cornerstone of motivation to create some Star Trek future to free up people to pursue their interests, but that's a fantasy. Innovation is simply innovation. It's not about whether people's lives will be improved. It doesn't care.

World can be the most technologically advanced its ever been with space travel for the masses and still be a totalitarian dystopia. People could be poorer than ever and become corpo slaves, but it would fit under the defition of societal progress because of innovation.

Great for people getting fired or finding that now the jobs they used to have that were middle class are now lower class pay or obsolete. They will be so delighted at the progress despite their salaries and employment benefits and opportunities falling.

And it's so nice that AI is most concentrated in the hands of billionaires who are oh so generous with improving living standards of the commoners. Wonderful.

Has America even given a reason to be given the benefit of the doubt on anything since the asset to Russia came into power?

Cloud saves, achievements, and tracking hours is something I do like. I have over a 100 GOG games, so individually managing exe files isn't something I really want to do.

I just see excuses being made for grown up who are too old to be given the benefit of the doubt like they are toddlers.

And that's on them regardless of the reasons, since these are grown ups not children. This constant coddling and excuses for grown ups gets old, since there are people in the same environment who make the choice to not make the same decisions.

Recognizing the larger forces at play is important, but this movement of shifting away personal responsibility is also a detriment.
