I'm ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we'd be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it's a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

Pay enough and staff correctly and the people will come. My wife is an RN. I know directly from her that most places don't do any of those things and still complain about shortages.

Who knew profit driven medical care was a bad idea /s

Dave Ramsey is not a finance guru. He's a corporate whore who is paid to shill whatever narrative he's told to.

The fact it's a video game smells of Musk's touch. Anyone else remember all the tweets he made about Tesla running games on the main monitor?

The problem I see that doesn't get mentioned enough is he has literally built a cult around himself. This makes it extra difficult to make him face consequences because he can easily turn himself into a martyr in his cult's eyes, which exacerbates the problem even more.

I think the cases brought against him already took so long because they knew they had to be air tight. Any legal wiggle room gives him more ammo to say "See, witch-hunt!"

IMO, the best thing that could happen for America is for him to die of natural consequences. It would deflate his cult as they tried to reconcile him being the god-delivered savior of the US and him just dying suddenly of natural causes. There would likely be conspiracies, as there always are, but it may be enough to snap some of the less radicalized out of this fucking trance he has them in.

We've also seen that his lackeys cannot play his game as well as he can. The hammer would fall easily on those left in his wake.

Not a Lemmy issue. Click bait unfortunately works to drive views through all social media platforms.

The thing I love is being able to click into the comments first to see the auto-generated summary. Prevents the site from getting my traffic.

Why does anyone still buy HP?

And you've just summed up all religious conflicts.

No doubt it will be another handheld running Windows though instead of Linux

I will game on a Windows based PC, but Linux is a must have on hand held - Windows is too resource intensive, developers are not going to be able to get the same OS optimization out of Windows that they can with Linux

Didn't Dodd-Frank get gutted a bit in recent years?

I think the joke is that whoever is badass enough to ride the bear is making the other patrons leave as fast as possible, even if it means throwing themselves through the window.

Any time someone bitches about government oversight and regulations, I think about cases just like this. In many cases we should WANT a large bureaucracy with plenty of checks and approvals overseeing things like this.
