Lol bruh, have some self reflection. People do it because it’s easier. If you have the time to have all the hobbies that other people have and to roll your own home servers that’s great, but that means you have an above average amount of free time. Otherwise, other people have hobbies that don’t include server OS updates and choose to spend their time there and pay for someone else to manage their servers.
I know I tuned out of Alan Wake 1 really early thinking it was going to be a boring ‘look around with a flashlight game’. I was very surprised by how fun and intricate the combat eventually got when I went back and actually played it through.
I was certainly not expecting it to turn into a destruction derby / vehicular combat game halfway through.
And on the writing side, I didn’t realize just how funny and tongue in cheek it all is. I think Alan Wake is always a bit of a hard sell because Remedy wants to gradually build and surprise you with new things, and all their humour is super deadpan and satirical of this hard boiled story, which can combine to make it seem kind of boring at a surface / marketing level until you get into the game and realize what’s happening and how much fun they’re having with it.
I will be buying this as a Christmas present for several friends.
Really, really fantastic game, and Remedy is one of the best studios in existence right now. I can’t think of many other games / studios that take swings as big as them.
I hear what you’re saying, but gamers in this thread (and every thread), are demanding that it come out on Steam, not on GOG, which makes them a huge part of the problem.
Lock in exists partially because gamers have lionized Valve for throwing them trinkets and refuse to use anything else, while Valve has designed their platform around a mandatory launcher and done what they can to lock players into it.
Another great game ruined by gamers’ insistence on dick riding Gabe Newell and always giving Valve a 30% cut, no matter what.
Will anyone self reflect on whether they’re being a dumbass and hurting the entire gaming industry by insisting on only using Steam cause that’s all they’ve ever used?
No. They’ll yell at Epic and Remedy for not wanting to give 30% of their revenue to Valve.
The Alan Wake 1 remaster is also published by Epic
Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.
Ftfy.
Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?
The joke still works fine, just replace PS2 with PS5 in your head.
Everyone having a FaceTime call does this. Every dash cam does this. Every Ring doorbell and self driving car does this. You can do this with a $10 usb pinhole webcam and an android phone or raspberry Pi.
The problem here is with facial recognition databases, not with people using cameras in public.
PimEyes does not use photos from Facebook or other social media.
PimEyes doesn’t use images or data from Facebook or other social media.
It’s a click bait article that’s been regurgitating through the less informed part of the tech news world because it has Meta in its title and it sounds scary.
Actually good articles covering it would point out that the flaw is entirely a legislative one, where America and a large chunk of the world simply have zero privacy rights or protections.
Dumb, click bait article.
This is about PimEyes, and databases that hoard facial recognition data, not Meta or Rayban or smart glasses.
This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.
The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it’s legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.
Oh so you’re the type that sees Hitler invading Poland and thinks “doesn’t effect me”.
Go volunteer for Putin’s army if you love his propaganda so much.
Jesus fucking Christ, the fucking idiocy of thinking that Russia unilaterally invading a country is that country’s fault. Thankfully Biden is finally getting lead out of the water which will hopefully prevent this dumbassery in the long term.
Bruh, you’re an American repeating Putin’s bullshit about Ukraine being run by Nazis.
Americans have no excuse for being so ill informed, so either LMAO at the “using critical thinking”, or you’re a dumb fucking Russia bot.
Russian thinks he has a wife and kids, when in reality Putin has a baby maker and more cannon fodder.
You happy that your kids will die in Ukraine for no reason?

I also can’t imagine being a Trump supporter so…
So you’re saying mash both a bunch of times to be super sure?
