It's still fun to hear the man himself talking about a larger than life virtual reality.

The tech still scares me, I'm not even sure I'd be okay with EEG-like patches that work both ways (scifi, I know), not to mention brain surgery, for pure decadence. But the quality of life benefits really can be huge for many, and that really got my fantasy going, once I 'accepted' we figured out the limits and safeties of bodily autonomy.

both corporations and consumers have shown

I don't think this a preference question. More like something intrinsic to a society based on market.

I'm kinda partial to Rage Against Vanessa Carlton.

They call it 'The Valley of the Hung Hobo'.

Hey baby.. You lookin fine tonight!

Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it's pretty symmetric?

Sure, a good game is a good game, but the title makes it look like an edgy maffioso game, like schedule 1.

This feels super click-baity. According to the comments it's not money laundering related, but an actual laundary service for soiled currency.

It's also pretty slimy that reporters had to snoop it out of the new EULA and Nintendo didn't put out a press release addressing it.

I'm really happy you recognize a megacorp's evil behaviour, but you don't have to agree with something just because you understand why and how it works.

I guess the proper answer to your diss would be: cope better. Maybe I don't understand this corner of the internet yet, but I feel we're missing out on great debates and ideas if soapboxing is more important.

I do understand their point in a weird twist of copyright and marketplace spirit:

Companies lose money on consoles, so they can't afford to sell the hardware without people paying for the software.

All in all, I don't think it's totally anti-consumer behaviour, but they will face the appropriate backlash in some form or the other.

As someone who grew up on Nintendo I don't wish them ill, even though they are suffocating that part of the emulation industry. I'd rather we find the reason of the imbalance why we don't have 80 bucks to easily shell out for a game and address why Nintendo feels it needs to sit on it's old IP.

I don't think it's due to frustration. Like how a caring parent observes their child's mental level and caters to that. Pure love and the hope to spark joy in new things. Also, yuuuuuuck.

It's kinda funny as how it's first like: Windows, Apple and Linux are your choices for home. If you choose the right one, you realize it was not a destination, merely a gateway to a plethora of systems, many fine-tuned for the nichest of needs.

My new hobby is complaining about my trials on Linux to those winfriends who I think will switch in the foreseeable future. My rational is that sharing my happiness comes off as gloating and as soon as they show an inkling of willingness, I'll just point to what I said and tell them that's the type of shit you deal with and can maybe find listening ears for the benefits at that point.

Because I am in a safe space: FOSS is the closest thing I find to actual love that I can get from a non-living interaction. Contrasted in the harsh light of freemium every keystroke for the commons is sacred.

Is this some kinda Brave browser integration? Newpipe hasn't served me up any ads yet, so you got me wondering what your version does.

Where were you for the last decade? I'd think tiktok is starting to wind down by now, but me and my shaking stick wouldn't know that.

No grape lady? Or did I miss it?

There's no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a baked-in feature of meatspace either. I'm a fan of solipsism and Last Thursdayism personally. Also propaganda posters.

The CMV sub reeked of bot/troll/farmer activity, much like the amitheasshole threads. I guess it can be tough to recognize if you weren't there to see the transition from authentic posting to justice/rage bait.

We're still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we're climbing out of it. I'm already being 'tricked' left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen. What happens when robots pass the imitation game?

'Where's mama?'

Wouldn't it be 'simple' with hall effect sensors? Those seem to be pretty commonplace nowadays.

Yeah, but providing that push at the wrong time... Maybe I just presented it the wrong way. I think there was some snootiness to how I advocated it. Like I knew more than them, which might be the case.. but it's still alienating.

Maybe we can wait until they ask.
