I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be “next”, but this is still a valid concern.

There are several possible causes to this problem, but that one is the most common.

luddites were not anti progress, they were pro workers rights. today’s usage of the word is insulting to their work.

exactly one comes to mind: blender

idk about 8000gnat, but I’ve learned that bottoms are adorable and deserve love and hugs and affection and

sane companies “leak” their upcoming games to influencerson purpose as part of their marketing strategy.

nintendo, once again, chooses to treat their most dedicated fans like shit.

I prefer to think of it as they made a bad show on purpose, and then tried to claim that the reasons why it’s bad are the reasons why it’s good actually.

Don’t get me wrong, the plot (what little of it I did see) was pretty good, and the acting was (mostly) pretty good, the set design and costuming and whatnot was pretty good. Very high production quality. The problems that you pointed out with the writing I 100% agree with, and relegate what could have been a great show to expensive background noise.

Dune Prophecy did the same thing, and it was in those conversations I found the term “3rd screen content”. The studios really are doing this on purpose.

3rd screen content. you’re not actually supposed to watch it, you’re supposed to passively absorb it while doing something else.

that would have been reasonable 20 years ago.

yeah, this is actually completely unacceptable default behavior, and I’ve been unable to find a setting to change it. I’m on a metered data connection, so the video buffering without me interacting with it first is literally costing me money. I went straight to the comments to avoid this.

I’ve usually seen big bang theory compared to jersy shore.

one is a smart show about dumb people, and the other is a dumb show about smart people.

if we follow this logic, does that make it crowd a smart show about smart people?

i’m a liar and I didn’t make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.

omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn’t go the the heb

also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.

I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

get some garlic in there too, in for a good time.

that looks amazing, imma make one tonight

must be LODs.

most humans do suck, but it’s the principal of the matter

and yet all those “use eu tech” charts always recommend proton products

both.
