Anyway, I believe what you’re describing was coined as “eternal summer” many many years ago.

The same phenomenon was coined on Usenet many years before 4chan.

Not to excuse this sort of behaviour, but at least they're honest enough to say it's about the money, instead of hiding behind excuses like "bUt sEcuRiTy vUlNeRaBiLiTieS".

We need laws to prevent this kind of anti-consumer bullshit (yeah I know, a pipe dream) and for people to simply not give Haier their money, or data.

Essentially. That category must have been a troll by the steam community.

Even today Skyrim is a better game than Starfield. It's the same formula Bethesda have been doing for 20 years now but they somehow managed to make the world feel more artificial and lifeless. And So. Many. Loading screens. 😔

Nothing against the core Bethesda formula - I still enjoy the whole "explore, run into shit, and spend the next 30 hours on side quests" - but they really need to focus on making a more rich and engaging experience.

Some of these category winners are starting to make less and less sense each year. Red Dead 2 for Labor of Love? wtf?

I voted for Risk of Rain Returns for best on Steam Deck. Been playing it on the ROG Ally and it's a damn near perfect handheld game.

Or... and this is crazy... not cram thousands of them together in such a tiny area. Then disease wouldn't spread so rapidly.

It's happening across a lot of industries, especially tech. During covid line went up very fast. Post-covid line stopped going up fast, but companies are desperate to keep it going up fast. Otherwise it would count as a slowdown in year-on-year growth and we can never ever have that (/s).

The article: “I asked a really technical question from my PhD thesis, and it provided an answer that no one would be able to find without consulting people with very specific expertise."

Me waiting for the part where the AI hallucinated and he got an F on his thesis:

I mean, it might have worked out, but you have to be very careful when asking LLMs for factual information. I've tried it at my work and it gave me info that contradicted that from experts.

The AI is hallucinating again

Makes sense.

But is it just me that's unaffected by such a script? I'm just like "Death threats? shrugs Fair enough." Unity threatened a lot of dev's livelihoods. What did they expect, for them all to just roll over and take it?

I’m a few months, there will be at least a 50% chance that comment or post you are replying to is a bot.

It already feels this way. A lot of them are the most basic comments or don't make any sense at all.

And the IPO itself is a bad sign no matter who's in charge. It means the company will be shareholder-driven, and so aiming for maximum profit (or just straight up not operating at a loss to start with). Line must always go up, so when things start to stagnate, or they reach saturation, more and more bold anti-consumer decisions will be made to extract higher profits. See Netflix and their crackdown on password-sharing.

It may not happen straight away, but it will eventually.
