It’s biblical, the love of money is the root of every evil. It’s easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Even if you don’t believe, it’s as clear now as it was 2000 years ago that money absolutely corrupts.
With regard to number 2. Just because a company isn’t abusing their dominant market position today, doesn’t mean they won’t tomorrow when ownership changes.
It would be preferable that market competition forced valve to be pro consumer instead of just GabeN’s good will
You are probably thinking of ping times on the old satellite internet services. Those were terrible , barely better than dialup. Starlink is LEO so ping is much better
It’s based off an older incident of incest Folgers commercial
Did Violet 08 make a new account?
I’m not trying to yuck anyone’s yum but I absolutely hate that turn of phrase and think less of someone who uses it ^(not really but it is super millennial cringe coded)^
Sounds like I need to start praying for Pete Hegseth…
I think wha you meant to say is that American conservatism was a mistake. Not like Luther had any idea when was nailing his 99 thesis’s to the door that centuries later American conservatives would be so unscrupulous that they would weaponize the ignorance of the congregations to build an unholy malicious political coalition.
Every person that logs in and interacts in good faith in some way is useful to Lemmy.
Because Xbox provides the only populated servers for the games I want to play. I’m not happy about it either
I just want Xbox live without having to pay 120 a year. I could care less for any games
It stole artwork. It took established IP and shoehorned it into the trending genre instead of its own genre. It doesn’t support Linux, it is a predatory microtransaction filled “live service” game
Plenty of non conspiratorial reasons to hate Marathon.
Gamers could collectively boycott NVidia cards and it would barely make a dent in their bottom line. It’s time for gamers to show nvidia that they are unequally important to us as we are to them
I haven’t bought a nvidia card in over a decade. Start buying APUs, handhelds, or just keep your current card and turn the graphics down or start playing your backlog. And for the love of god don’t pay for GeForce now.
Yeah the developer might suck but an accomplished developer would have to spend more time fixing bad vibe code that is generated due to limited context window and backwards reasoning by the AI.
Vibe coding is fast because it sucks and is so sloppy
I don’t think it had prerolls during the flash days but it had banner ads as far back as I can remember
You would think that I would do some basic fact checking…
I missed when Vince Z went from Respawn to Dice LA. I retract my claims of AI
You would think IGN would have budget for basic fact checking but this article was probably written by AI
Edit: this was a bad call by me, it turns out everything appears to be accurate. I just was making assumptions based off of outdated information
Markiplier did not invent Let’s Plays lol. Let’s Plays were nearly dead by the time he created his channel. He just was the first person to make FNAF Let’s Plays popular (I would assume, I’ve never watched anyone on this list because I’m over the age of 30)
Pretty good at not being Reddit which is my number one reason for using it.
Unless indie devs are getting guarantees for revenue that aren’t tied to playtime numbers I don’t see how these indie devs aren’t just getting scammed.
It would seem like they would be better off by figuring out how much money they’d need to put into advertising to make the same amount of sales to make the same or more revenue than they would by putting them on a subscription
