Having tried a game with AI NPCs, they’re fucking awful. I don’t want to sit there and have a conversation with irrelevant individuals. Give me that concise “here’s your mission and reward.”
An AI companion who can converse, comment and learn may be cool, but I definitely don’t want anything like what I’ve seen.
Your sister is dumb. I live outside of a major city, it’s faster and cheaper for me to ride my scooter to the train and ride the train downtown. I also don’t need to pay attention the whole ride so there’s some uninterrupted gaming time as well. As a bonus my employer pays for 80% of the train fare too.
My car mostly just sits there waiting for the weekend.
Would it even matter to a FIFA player though? The game’s mechanics are not that different from generation to generation and I think AI could decently simulate player stats and likeness. They’ll probably lap the slop up and ask for more.
Three was enjoyable, definitely had some shit moments but overall a fun game with absurd over the top moments left and right. Four on the other hand felt like it should’ve been a dlc for three, and was pretty awful.
Sorry dude, you’re on lemmy. Nobody is here because it’s the easiest or best. Most of us are here because we’re the types who don’t like getting fucked over. I wholeheartedly agree that ads in and of themselves are annoying and fucking detest those Quiznos commercials but we’re the “weird” ones here. Most people loved those ads and Quiznos sold a ton of crappy sandwiches. Sadly advertising works on most people.
Yup, if enough people switch to graphene big G will fuck them over. Exiting entirely is the only long term solution.
Steam decks are expensive and relatively bulky when compared to a phone. I don’t think it’s really a practical solution for most of us.
There’s genres of games that are supposed to be relationship sims and nothing else. The relationships and characters are still hollow and would only draw in the loneliest people.
Agreed, I played it on my retro handheld a couple weeks ago and it still holds up alright. They manage to convey a lot of emotion through those little unicycles.
I mentioned dropping discord in my gaming group chat. Five non political normies and myself. Literally nobody is fighting to stay on discord. We’ll try a few alternatives and even if I’ve gotta fork over a few bucks a month, I will. Any site that requires id is dead to me.
Often when I’m stoned I enter the flow state easier. I can also get way more into my own head and not be able to get into the flow at all.
This is true for some products but absolutely the opposite for many others. You can go buy a $500 jacket that will outlive you but good luck finding a car or fridge that won’t break, especially the high end models with all the bells and whistles. Samsung will happily sell you a $5k fridge that has dozens of features that will break and require servicing far more frequently than the $500 white apartment fridge.
I’m sure I’m gonna be down voted a lot, but I’ve gotta say it. Cannolis are just not very good. Like not disgusting but they lack flavor.
Yeah, I’m with you. There’s tons of games I’ve paid a lot more than $16 for that I would absolutely tell past me to buy again instantly. Most recently Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. $40 with all dlc and I’m over 100 hours in, enjoying every minute. Over 100 hours of entertainment from something that cost me less than an hour of labor, in what world is that not worth it?
I got like 40 hours of playtime from Peak before taking a break. For $8 I’m very satisfied.

Ending it suddenly without a replacement would be a catastrophe, no doubt about it. That doesn’t mean they deserve tax exempt status. The majority of charities are pretty decent and get a good portion of their donations to people in need but there are also charities that are basically a way for the wealthy to avoid taxes. I think the government will better represent the will of the people (in normal times), have lower overhead, work faster, and close the loopholes. I’d also be satisfied with closing the loopholes that allow people to take advantage and avoid paying taxes. Donating a few million to the charity you own to get a tax break, while your nephew runs the charity taking a fat check, and makes the area you live nicer; improving your real estate values should not be a thing.
No churches deserve tax exempt status. Why the hell should we rely on their kindness to feed the homeless when we can tax them and ensure the poor are fed?
Preferable to a nationwide civil war IMO
Here in America we have big cars and tiny rail networks. We should have tiny cars and big rail networks.
My fellow Americans, being pedal to the floor in a lightweight five speed shitbox is infinitely more fun than restraining yourself constantly in a giant top heavy rollover machine. You feel like you’re doing 120mph but you’re going 120kph, it’s glorious. Taking the train is fucking great! I get to play video games and not stress about traffic, if I go to a happy hour and drink too much I’ve already got a DD!
