Business Insider is not much more than a clickbait machine. It's easy but ultimately foolish to lump Russia and China together just because of similarities in their governments and history of communism. There are a lot of cultural differences. Russia has 1/10th the population of China and has...

Haven't seen more drivel in a thread in a long time. This was a 4 week study. A 4 week study. That's not enough of a "time-lag" for there to be any implication of causation for something with dreadfully obvious confounding variables. Any deviations could easily be novelty effect. Lazy...

except it's an oversimplification and disregards the effects of automation reducing the relative price of goods and potentially frees up labor for other tasks particularly during a labor shortage. forcing businesses to become more efficient rather than abuse low labor costs is not always a bad...

Most AAA games also suck. But obviously some of us have different tastes. I'd spend a month in prison before I played another hour of RDR2. Xeno clash also an indie game. CDprojectred is triple A but they aren't owned by a major publisher

I'm confused about what you are trying to say? Are you saying almost all Indie games are bad or that they can't be as good as the best AAA games? Kind of different statements there. You don't have to play every indie game you can wait for good reviews. Have you never played Hades? Not many...

Competition for amazon is good. Can always build with ICF and metal roofs which are relatively inexpensive now to block signals. And Pyongyang for vacation is a pretty refreshing place to visit due the lack of ads

wear some eye black?

that's actually a good deal if paired with a Dell Amex offer (Typically $100-200 statement credit). Too bad the ports arent really up to snuff yet to avoid compression. also very bad for desktop use/text. very bad w ambient light. also not as bright as the lg and higher total latency. so more...

Without LAN can't prove legit. Always been that way. But this is clearly cheating. Only at the highest levels like top 0.1% are people NEVER missing something on the radar. As someone who was Diamond 1 back in the day when it was the highest tier even I could miss someone on the radar...

I think you are underrating AI a little bit. At the very least AI would help generate a lot more content per man hour -have the human be the inventor and the AI fill in the gaps. Certainly the bar has been pretty low for a lot of crap quests - not a big hurdle to have massive improvement.

First apple product I have the slightest desire to purchase. Can't imagine what applehards think. You're crazy if you think these things don't sell out.

I'd agree, but low interest rates, cheap money accelerates the process

I think there is definitely something to be said about big developers absolutely making trash these days. If you look at smaller guys they are all pumping SOLID games but without fancy 4090 devouring graphics. Also fairly dominated by survival/rogue lite crowd - Subnautica, Hades, Returnal...

i'm largely being facetious when i say stop playing. keep playing if you are enjoying. i dont think it's a bad game like the crap that's coming out these days (BG3, Starfield, etc etc)- my argument is that it's success has stifled MMO development - which Dan_D disagreed with but i think you...

Well here is a living breathing example of why I disagree with Dan_D. I played a reasonable number of MMOs post wow and I'd always hear people talk about "going back to wow." Like, just stop playing it man, just stop.
