And yet you don’t mind. What flavour of boots do you recommend for a total beginner?

Because by supporting China you are letting in a Trojan Horse. Chinese investors are parasites that will overflow the market with extremely cheap products, make the market dependent on them by estabilishing monopolies and then control the market.

All that made possible because the Chinese entrepreneurs sell all their products with significant loss, but they are generously funded by their government.

This is not even unfair trade, at this point this is a economical invasion. It has been going for quite some time with aliexpress, alibaba and temu. Now it’s happening in the automotive.

Boy do I have news for you

That’s another thing, yes - games are more pricy, cannot be pirated and there’s no third party websites for buying keys for cheap.

That being said, you can still buy games on discs and later resell them. That way you basically play for free if you buy used and resell for the same price.

I’m also a big fan of Playstation Plus

It did not matter to me when I was buying PS5 last year, so that’s not a general rule

What did matter, however, was the PS Plus collection. I you don’t want to sail under Jolly Roger, that’s a huge factor

Even if you build your PC with PS5 equivalents, you are most likely to pay at least a bit more for the whole package, and - most importantly - games still won’t run as smooth as they do on PS5.

Console games are optimized to work best specifically with their hardware

You will need to pay at least twice as much for a PC if you want games to run as nice as they do on PS5

Bro they do. Just today I got a message from Zelensky asking me to send him $500 for a tank ticket to Donetsk. Being a patriot I am, I obviously did my part.

I always wonder when I see these kind of videos - is there anything these guys can do to save their skin? Is there a way to communicate surrender, or were they given the ultimate death sentence?

Anyhow, this bit of curiosity in itself is much more compassion than what this invasive species ever deserved

Sometimes I find myself wondering if spontaneously invading a sovereign European nation with strong ties to the most powerful alliance on earth was all that great decision in terms of economy and wellbeing.

Kind of. Russia is definitely using this conflict to purge their unwanted. This is still horrifying when you realize that these are not only felons, but also groups like minorities and the poor.

How brazen. You seem to be the person to speak rationally and objectively on the matter. I’d love to hear your arguments.

How shameful, what had Russia done to deserve such treatment?

Not joking, I’m just underinformed

Now that I think of it, yeah, it makes absolute sense. It’s not a stable income OpenAI is based on, but rather the endless wagons of money from hyped up sponsors. Very much unsustainable.

Wait, since when it had not been? Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable for some reason?

Love me some minesweeper. Does this version also guarantees that are games are deterministic, i.e. you never have to guess the bomb layout?

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.
