And this will end college sports as we know them, which is unequivocally a bad thing. I know people here are rooting for this, but this will end all sports departments outside of a super league and end the US dominance in most Olympic sports.

I’m still of the opinion that scholarships are payment enough for playing.

A minor league won’t work in the US. It doesn’t work for any other sports here either. The NBA/MLB minor leagues provide no reason to watch the product, and nobody does. College sports are unique in that people will root for historically terrible teams because they have a connection to the team.

That’s what I think too. It’s either that or just wanting to race in Red for a year or two before retirement.

I think we’ll know pretty quickly if the Merc is a shitbox next year, which will explain a lot.

All valid points.

Whatever it is, I’m having the best time gaming I’ve had in years with it, and at a $20 price point, I’m well happy to have bought it.

I have to imagine the W15 is going to be a shitbox. He’s gotta have some reason to be jumping ship, when it was previously thought he’d retire at Mercedes.

I’m gonna guess it’s a massive bag. And he’s got enough money anyways that he probably doesn’t care too much.

It’s certainly not well made, as it’s buggy as hell, but it is fun, and that’s been missing from a lot of games recently.

I’m playing exclusively in a multiplayer world with my brothers, and we’re having a blast. If I was playing alone it’d probably be less fun tbh.

You’re not wrong. Of course they don’t want any new entries. It doesn’t matter if it’s Andretti, Toyota, Porsche or anyone else. The pie doesn’t get bigger, it gets distributed to everyone equally, which means they’re getting less money for every new team added.

None of these teams are going to vote against their own interests. There’s no incentive to allowing new teams (to them), everything about it is a negative for the teams already in place.

I’ve tried that a few times. It requires booting into windows first, then shutting down and rebooting to Linux or passing it through a WindowsVM to start it and then reassigning it to the main OS.

It just got to be too much of a headache they it wasn’t worth staying on linux.

This is the problem people have

They don’t see artists and creators as worth protecting. They’d rather screw over every small creator and take away control of their works, just because “it’d be hard to train without copyrighted data”

Plenty of creators would opt in if given the option, but I’m going to guess a large portion will not.

I don’t want my works training what will replace me, and right now copyright is the only way we can defend what was made.

Not all Audio interfaces work. I use a GoXLR and I can’t get any output from Linux to my audio setup. Can’t read the microphone either.

Not all products work as easily as you say.

I agree there. At the very least with the first of them. The 2nd and 3rd started to add a lot of crafting mechanics, but I really enjoyed the first one (and have played all 3 to completion)

That’d ruin what makes Apple products so good. The fact is, people like Apple because everything is connected. It’s one of the largest draw points of apple and would only piss 90% of the users off for no tangible benefit to anyone else.

Because it’s not a superior connector. Lightning is better as a purely charging port. It’s less fragile and doesn’t have a million competing implementations. One of the most frustrating things about USB-C is you can’t be sure if a cable is actually going to work.

That’s Cyberpunk 2077 (with a bunch of mods) for me. Sometimes you just end up really immersed and have a great time.

I’m just competitive. Nothing beats absolutely decimating an opponent to the point they quit.

I also get 0 satisfaction from beating a computer. I do that every day as a software developer, so I’d much rather play against other people.

Also competitive games are great because you can play hundreds or thousands of hours and almost always get new experiences. Some team is going to throw something at you that you haven’t seen before, and it keeps the gameplay interesting and dynamic.

Racing games for the most part are because it is something I can’t do irl. There’s no way I’m going to get to be one of 12 drivers running the brand new Prototype race cars, but I sure can get almost as close in a racing simulator.

Almost Anything Open World tbh

Every open world game has turned into the same “do this x times to get y reward that has no relevance whatsoever to the game”

I miss the days of games on rails. I could sit down, enjoy a game and play it through to the end in 10-20 hours. Now it seems like every game is trying to milk 100+ hours of gameplay time out of even the most basic of stories and mechanics.

I’m increasingly less interested with every release. There just feels like there’s no cohesive plan and no new, likeable characters. They’ve consistently introduced characters that just aren’t likeable for one or many reasons

My guy, you’re the one getting all worked up here. I’m just providing thought out responses.

You’re proving my point. Everything you mentioned is Silicon Valley/Big Tech. The only place it’s being used is big tech. And yes, Linux does count. That’s fine, but it’s still nowhere near replacing Java.

My goal is to be out of software in under 20 years. It’s a soul sucking, terrible job that takes the life out of you. So it really doesn’t matter what you think is coming in the future. Java works 100% of the time for my use cases, and there will always be Java jobs available.

Also I’d kill to be an experienced COBAL dev. They can write their own checks doing 40hrs a week of barely anything at banks. It’d be the dream job.

I’m not a programmer for fun 99% of the time. I don’t care what’s “cool” or “hot” or “trending”. I care about what keeps me employed.

I’m sure not miserable writing Java code. I definitely am writing Python. So I really don’t care about your opinions. They’re not backed by anything but hurt feelings.

I genuinely could not give a shit about Rust. It doesn’t scare me, because just like COBAL, Java isn’t going anywhere. An IDE helps, but it’s no easier visually than checking if something is within a pair of brackets.

I’m not saying you can’t do it with Python, just that it gets exponentially more complicated as you do so. Just like you can build single purpose tiny applications in java, you can build massive ones in python.

Rust and Java aren’t competing outside of Silicon Valley and Big Tech, and even they often still use a significant amount Java in legacy tech. Rust still can’t replicate everything that libraries and plugins for Java can, it’s still not a fully mature development stack, it’s close, but it’s far from becoming the next java.

Java isn’t a perfect language, I never said it was. I’m standing by my comment that it’s better than 90% of the languages out there.
