This guy gets it.
Though I use Flavacol instead of salt and tajin - it’s exactly what movie theaters use.
1·4 天前You have my attention… Does it have a good / comparable app that you can use to view recordings?
Hilariously, the actual Cyberpunk game would work for this. There’s a weapon in the game that’s just a giant dildo, and holding it causes your controller to rumble continuously.
I can’t even imagine playing this game on a HDD.
In the post they note that match load times are based on the slowest player, so there’s a decent chance you’ve already been in a match that would be the equivalent of playing on a HDD
So why are they not doing that right now?
Honest question.
Doesn’t it take 60 votes to end the filibuster (because the vote to end it would first be subject to it)?
They have to get a handful (5-7) of non-GOP votes in the Senate. That’s the source of the Dem’s only leverage right now.
Still, they flat-out refuse to negotiate at all, instead trying to strong-arm Dems into voting for a shit deal.
Look, the dude’s an asshole. He shouldn’t be on any talk show because his personal views are not worth listening to. But he has also sold 26 million albums, which is enough to count pretty much anyone as a “music legend”.
Now, he definitely is NOT a “music icon”.
My favorite is this combo of AI “benefits”:
- Create fully-written emails from a few simple bullet points!
- Summarize long emails into simple bullet points!
2·8 天前I mean “corpos” in the Cyberpunk sense - mega-huge companies that put profits far and above all else, discarding any notion of ethics, morality, or care about others in the process.
They’re the companies that buy up emerging tech solely so they can kill it (their competition). They don’t give a shit about long-term sustainability - if it raises the bottom line today, they do it. They disregard laws and consumer protections because the only consequences are paltry (for them) fines, which they see as the cost of doing business.
That’s a good callout - treating these game rental services more like we do with streaming video services by subbing to one for just a few months, then dropping it for another.
Ehh… PSN isn’t really any better. Their Game Pass competitor is a hot mess. Better to just buy games outright, especially during sales.
Once upon a time, the idea with subscriptions like this was to have customers set it and forget it. Charge them a small/reasonable amount and they’ll keep giving you money forever. Giving people a reason to think about - or worse, evaluate the merits of - the monthly deposit they’re giving you used to be a sin for companies.
But here we are, seeing the difference between “companies” and “corpos”.
I’ve been a big Xbox dude for a long time but I can’t possibly defend this. It’s a garbage move, during a time when everyone’s chief complaint about life is “everything goes up in price way too fast, all the time.”
They call these changes “upgrades” but that’s just PR bullshit. The big value of Game Pass used to be how it was cheaper than buying games outright. Now Ultimate is $360 a year. How many brand new games that you’re interested in come out each year? Would buying them on day one total anything near $360??
The value just isn’t there anymore.
Unless of course the manufacturer hamstrings it well before that time.
See: Samsung
They also used to have better-than-normal paid time off but non-govt companies have caught up on that, especially in the tech sector.
And they had a good 401k equivalent (403b) match, but again companies have caught up or surpassed this now.
Some of my old colleagues still work in govt and they have been MISERABLE for the past year and a half (return to office, DOGE/deferred resignations, chronic understaffing, and now this shutdown nonsense).
