I can’t help but think it’s only a matter of time before they manage to make that limit work on locally installed games, even if you’re not internet connected.

This is “just” for cloud gaming right? Like if you install a game locally through game pass, these limits don’t apply… Right?

I’ve built a game mod that now has a couple thousand users, it’s true about the entitlement. I’m grateful to those users who expressed their support and glee, but so many – admittedly well-meaning! – people come in asking for basic assistance that don’t read the FAQ. And then there’s the handful of people who really believe you’re there solely to serve them.

Can’t even imagine single handedly supporting a site the size of SteamDB.

Man you’re basically not even playing the game at that point.

I want to make sure I understand this right. The 6X here means that for every one real frame generated by the GPU, the next six frames that follow will be AI generated?

Solo devs burning themselves out on their hobby projects is basically how the entire Internet used to work, and we’re currently living in the consequences of that.

Any opportunity to get a repeat purchase out of them.

The more likely scenario is: What happens if Microsoft also has no discs next generation?

It’s really just one guy, brand new account, who posted like 5 times in this thread. I’ve already reported and moved on.

The Games Behind Your Government’s Next War

MGS4 was the most important war game ever made. No game before or since has tackled the subject of the war economy quite like it.

Stage 5: We pipe money directly out of your savings account for nothing. Thanks for doing business with us!

Check this video from Gamer’s Nexus. They don’t even need an ethernet cable, they can just install ads/malware directly through Windows Update.

If person 1 is only able to log in once a week, then the daily quota for them becomes a fully weekly one. … The busiest people - like doctors or nurses - are afforded the least consideration by this type of quota.

Yeah this is the kind of analysis I was looking for. Thanks for this insight.

some guy banned me from like six AI subs

and nothing of value was lost

I haven’t used reddit in so long I don’t think I’ve ever known about this system. Though the random porn-on-main posters now make more sense.

Here’s a question: is there anything preventing Lemmy/Piefed/mbin from being subject to the same problems? Even without the technical incentive to karma farm, there’s still a social incentive to be seen as trustworthy or influential. We just naturally crave that kind of thing even if it has no tangible benefit; number go up, number make happy. So what do our current systems do to combat karma farming, account selling, vote brigading, and other misbehavior?

I noticed an earlier thread where reaction emojis were implemented, which I think is a nice addition and a lot more granular than simply +1 or -1. BBS forums have been running on that model forever. Contextually, the emojis have different meanings too, say 🤔 for example. A well reasoned post could receive a lot of these from people who admire the thought put into it even if they don’t agree. It could also mean someone has said something so wildly out of pocket that it could be used to expressed incredulous concern, without being outright hostile. Naturally 👍️ and 👎️ still exist as proxies for voting, not much you can do about that I think. Though it would be interesting to see the sums of each reaction to a user’s comments/posts on their profile, ordered from greatest to least.

I feel like if you want to really combat karma farming, you have to make it totally irrelevant so that nobody would want to bother with it, possibly even remove it altogether. But then how else do you build up reputation? Tough question, I don’t know a good answer.

Why is it a bar, and not just a Current/Max number pair? 🤔

It’s a new form of Accelerationism they’re pushing. Every ally and sympathizer must suffer just as much as I have, or else they’re not a true ally.

Case in point, these same losers saw an article interviewing several EA employees about the Saudi acquisition, where lower level employees talk about how awful the Saudi regime is, and said “yeah but you continue to work there, why don’t you just quit? Stop fraternizing with the enemy.”

Blind vengeance against corporations matters more to them than people taking care of themselves. It’s a suicide pact. Support for the working class is conditional, a rhetorical game played by terminally online dweebs who demand you prove your loyalty by becoming destitute, sick, and desperate. They hope they can drive you to become the next Luigi.
