Wouldn’t say that. There is more to humanity than dystopian capitalist fantasies. I, e.g., work for free to help people. You might do too, if you got what YOU need from others. But yeah, not gonna happen. The vast majority of people will always stay slaves, they just don’t really realize it (yet).

Understandably! I’ve read about it and yes totally. I’d say every Trekkie embraces this philosophy. How could one not 😊 Now I actually want one too 😁

My toast falling onto the carpet with the jelly side first? Capitalism.

Joke aside, yes. But this time it’s a clear enemy called AI. So people have something to blame, while evading the real culprit.

Oooohhh…I guess I have to submit my trekkie-badge at the desk for having not known this. Thanks!

Definitely a very cool tat. Now even more so!

Weird indeed. It should not. My deleted usually appear as such

Lol…it’s just there. It still is. At least for me

Well, you obviously speak for the USA. And despite things like thermal cutoffs or automatic shutoffs, things were pretty safe here (Germany) in the 60-90s.

Also, there is a difference between general advancements in safety regulations and putting tons of unnecessary features in a device that will break soon. No Tesla of today will probably still be going in 50yrs or after 500.000km.

The higher the complexity, the higher the chance of failure.

And on top of it, there was no “planned obsolescence” or even suicides switches built in. Bad for capitalism, good for people.

Not quite. The lesser the complexity, the longer the life. Even if both use the same cheap hardware to begin with. More systems => more areas where it could fail and eventually will.

And don’t forget planned obsolescence. That was no thing back in the days.

Looks cool, but…what is it? Did I miss something Trekkie?

And tiktok…and fuckbook and x and y and however all the cancer is called. Where can I sign?

We need more people like you.

Exactly. I guess it’s because procreation is our only biological reason. And if you don’t play along you’d look like a worker-bee that doesn’t work (in every layer of that word).

I hear you about family, but I just broke with every idiot. My opinion (because it deviates too much from what is allowed in “free speech”) was always belittled, but if they need money, they all know where to find me. Well…knew 😁

Yup, couldn’t have said it more cynical. Kids are shat in this world my parent’s gen (boomer) already paved the way for destruction, that my gen followed nicely. Millenials had it really shitty and I don’t wann see the future of the newest generations.

It always gets me thinking that we need 2k in cost and many many hours of training and learning to be allowed to drive a car. But every Joe and Jane can procreate even if they’re dumb AND poor. No license needed. Just go ahead make as many cute babies as you want.

Yup exactly. All that money (and time, good lord the time!) sunk into lil brats could well be spend elsewhere. FOSS indeed! We also donate a lot and work for free at homeless shelters and such.

But most people prefer to keep running away from thinking by allocating 101% of time to everything but themselves. Jobs, kids, pets…

And this caretaker-for-when-i-am-old…it’s not only disgusting but also too risky. And with all that money sunk into those kids I could buy people who’d take care of me.

No thanks. I prefer aaaallll the money and time to wifey and myself. We enjoy our hobbies, travel the world, do what we want the whole day long, every day. That’s freedom.

Why would we want kids? And even if, we weren’t rich enough to put kids into this dumpster-fire…

…and you fight for them. To each their own, hm?

“I’m 12 and this is funny”?

Haha, rape, haha. You do have talent in drawing, now you just need some actually funny ideas. Good luck with that.

Win might, but steam never did. At least the last time I tried. Might be better now.

Aye, I also rarely understand the motivation. Must really be that those who decide have no real clue about what a computer or a game is.

In the last decade i highly drifted towards indie games and rarely even check AAA anymore. No innovation, no risk, nothing fresh nor great. Just re-iteration of what has already been done before. Milk every franchise until even the hardcore-fans are bored to oblivion.

It’s so sad, and I’m passionately gaming since pacman on the Atari 2600

If you use the browser not the client, There’s and add-on (steam something) that does show those things. Very helpful

Easy solution: fuck denuvo. Fuck the games that use it. And also fuck windows.

Edit: it has been shown many many many times over the many many many years, that preventing Piracy doesn’t mean increased sales or vice versa.

Those who don’t buy because the can’t, won’t play It if DRMed (loss not even near the cost of denuvo)

Those who don’t buy because they make informed decisions, won’t buy or play it, if DRMed (loss plus denuvo cost)

And many would buy a game even if it’s non-DRM-ed just because they liked it and want to support the devs. I bought soooo many games AFTER I already finished them or were halfway through.

And putting denuvo on it, instead of giving me a demo? Fuck you. I know the game is shit just by that.
