It's a sport. You are expected to take a loss with dignity and sportsmanship. Which he didn't here, and neither did the players in the above images.

That’s exactly my point, we keep looking at idiot man-babies who don’t know how to process their emotions being violent when they lose at a sport and acting like it’s no big deal, like you’re supposed to have a tantrum when things don’t go your way or like there’s no other options here. There’s another way and it’s…

The same way all those images ended up as stories, too?  Duh.

Oh so painful, probably didn’t get a paycut either to save those jobs.

Definitely a bad move. As mentioned I think the fact that quests acted as a sort of catch up mechanic for absent players was a great decision that encouraged more play not less.

Are you suggesting we can’t despise him simply for his NFT bullshit?

what the hell is even this

You know, I almost made this same shift myself, because it seems pretty unavoidable (and perhaps understandable) that people read this stance as an insufficient distaste for transphobia rather than an actual first principle. I didn’t, because that would just lead to people saying I don’t care about antisemitism and…

Ok, let’s hammer it lol.

I generally agree here, outside of the “tacit support” part. It isn’t a matter of absolutes. Rather, I believe that Rowling’s views should be a factor in one’s purchasing decision. Buying the game doesn’t make you evil, but at the same time, it is a compromise (for those who disagree with her views, which should be…

Whew lad I’m getting bodied in this comment section lol brutal

You used way too many words to just say “my apathy is more important to me than supporting trans people.”

It genuinely astounds me the level of effort people will put in to say how little they care.

It is ridiculously naive, but not less so your claim that it doesn’t matter. It isn’t like somewhere, abstractly, up the line there is a bad actor here: JK Rowling is a prominent part and directly benefits. Much more so than most scenarios, and she has used her influence to continue to hurt trans people. It also isn’t…

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

Gaming is such a scam

I see it as more of a social issue, not a technological one. I don’t have an issue with AI replacing people. I don’t consider training AI to be legally distinct from looking at pictures (so I consider the majority of what can be found via a web crawler to be effectively public in that sense and not to require…

I suspect that on the PS5 Returnal takes heavy advantage of the insanely fast storage and the GPU’s direct access to the SSD. While an NVMe SSD in a PC gets close, the SSD in the PS5 is still faster. To mimic the insanely fast SSD of the PS5 the game is loading more assets into RAM instead. The DirectStorage API in…

“Sony is trying to protect its dominance on the console,” Spencer said. “The way they grow is by making Xbox smaller.”

This kind of ai will come for literally every job, not just artists and craftsmen, on the planet at some point and in most fields this has already started.
