I haven’t, because I haven’t bought access to Ubisoft junk in years. Last I saw of their financials, I’m not the only one. If you want this behavior to stop, stop consuming media. I sure have cut way down. I cut the cable cord, I barely watch TV, cut all my streaming services except for one. Don’t buy many games anymore (mostly because they all suck, are often poorly finished and are often just a damn re-release). I saw my Spotify is going up 5 bucks this morning, it’s getting cut this week too.

All this purging, yet my life hasn’t changed whatsoever. Almost feels good to get rid of all this crap. They only did it to themselves, so I hope they go have fun chasing people pirating 20 year old software. The crash is imminent.

Might want to start with not being a robot.

This was Elon’s one big opportunity to square things up, and it was a flop. He’s a terrible speaker. Clearly riffing (no wonder he’s hanging up his hat with Trump these days). Vague details. I mean the market has spoken today, what did the stock fall like 10%? I’m clearly not the only one that feels this way.

It’s time for a rethink at Tesla. The company is stuck in day-to-day delusion, and has no clear focus. Instead of the robots and the taxis and all of that, they should be fully focused on getting FSD figured out. THEN do the taxis and the Robovan and the robots. After all no FSD, no cybertaxi. This year for sure, nine years in a row. Meanwhile the product is clearly light-years away from any sort of autonony. All talk, no substance, and the market will show you that. Tesla just reached its peak this week, and my prediction is a slow decline until Tesla sorts it’s shit out, and clears house of people that clearly lack focus.

You shoulda saw me trying to shoehorn that 4070ti in. Things the size of a schoolbus.

It’s pretty insane. It’ll get a first weekend bump, and then just be a blip. I’m not 100% sure on this, but I don’t think the first version of it sold that well either.

We can fight them, but ultimately these companies have the control. They can enrich and empower, and there’s probably not a lot we can ultimately do about it. When the chips fall, I’d rather they just stay on a sub and endlessly echo chamber themselves into oblivion. Some will come here, but it seems like most will stay there until something ultra stupid forces them here. And I mean at this point, even ultra stupid hasn’t, so yeah. If they have to collect somewhere, I’d personally rather it be there than here. I think that’s the main point I’m making.

I believe the definition is somebody who is totally lame.

I’d normally be excited for this (I live in the area the game is set in), but that price tag. I have the PS4 version that I paid $14.99 for. I never finished it either, speaking of which, I must put it on my immediate list.

I think that’s also pretty much universally true with all our politicians

Then just go to a different Instance. I agree the powermods are a headache, but at least with Lemmy they have way less power. You can start a new sub with a matching name on a different Instance, and draw people away from the power mods. People get pretty sick of the power mods, pretty fast.

I think you have misconstrued what I’m saying here. I hope reddit exists to collect the weirdos, and be a breeding ground for the gross shit it is, and keep it away from here. We don’t need to inherit the 2024 users of reddit, no one wants them. Let them echo in their bot chambers until they literally spin into the ground. Keep Lemmy normal.

Hilary was polling at roughly the same numbers as close as two weeks before that election he won back in 2016, if I remember correctly. It was looking like a clean sweep for her, and it was anything but. So don’t get comfortable yet.

Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.

No, because then they’ll all flood here. Then I’ll have to consult with 9,006 different rules between each sub, while subsequently making sure I’m bending to each power-mods weird and unwritten agenda.

No I’m good with reddit. I encourage reddit. And I encourage all the weirdos to use reddit!

It’s so much better. Personally I don’t hope it grows much either. Satisfies my content itch, have still had some good quality convos here, seen some great comments threads. Absolutely none of the bullshit that Reddit purposely encourages. Plus most of the zeebs and the chronically offended seemed to have stayed with reddit, and I’m super OK with that.

Also $700 isn’t going to buy you much of a PC if you don’t have one already. Maybe mid spec 1080p.

Not that I’m arguing for PC. I’m pro-console in most circumstances. Only for power modders, power gamers or power purchasers would I maybe argue that PC is the better route. Everyone else, console 100% (except this joke of a console).

Depends on the day. All these damn platforms are always having some sort of sale. I’m not saying it’s not the cheapest sometimes, but sometimes it’s not.

AI is just boomer fuel. The amount of boomers running around at our firm that have turned into AI bots is hilarious. Every solution, every question, “ai ai ai ai ai ai ai”

I enjoy making humourous pictures of them and their 9 fingered hands using AI. We’ve cranked some great memes out lately.

I’m not a fan of multiplayer either. The campaigns are usually good, but they get kind of trope-y, and they aren’t very long. The franchise is starting to run out of steam. It also doesn’t help that Activision Blizzard is whoring it out way too much, the ux is getting pretty bad.

RTO just means “layoffs” under a different branding. These gross companies know how to be extra gross. When they really want to actually do a big layoff, that’s when they’ll roll out the “RTO” policy.
