It’s a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I’m all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only “FMMORPG”. I’d love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.

Billionaires are a systematic risk*.

1230 USD in about 10 years of service. I’d be interested to know my total playtime on steam now to see how much per hour I am paying.

It’s wild indeed. The worst part about this comparison is that people say it’ll fail because of the competition, but there’s literally 0 competition in the genre from big studios. The only three somewhat successful games are Delta Force, Hunt Showdown and Escape from Tarkov, two of those are premium games, one where people are willing to pay 250$ for it. It’s even a genre where people mostly want it to be paid to reduce cheating.

I’m super excited for this game. The demo they had on a previous steam next fest was phenomenal, great writing and voice acting.

Earth days… In a planet where the rotation is not the same as on Earth.

Felt well written as well, I loved talking to the other guy. I’m chill though, but it’s definitely a game I intend to buy and play as soon as it’s out.

Same! I’ve been parroting this same discourse ever since the first season aired. It’s not even good science fiction, it’s just all exaggerated to invoke fear, it bears no resemblance to a real world and future, and it doesn’t reflect on it. It’s a glorified dystopian tv mindless drama. It doesn’t make you question and think about things, it just always defaults to: “this bad, really bad”.

Because of the early 2000’s movie Minority Report that has this exact same plot and is starred by Tom Cruise.

Hardly ever I come across a person more self centered and a bigger fan of virtue signaling as you. You ignored literally everything we said, and your alternative was just “sms”. Even to the point of saying that the other commenter should stop talking to their 47 friends and family members.

Lots of people. I need it because it’s how my clients at work prefer to communicate with me, also how all my family members and friends communicate.

Yes, there are. You just have to live in one of the many many countries in the world where the overwhelming majority of the population uses whatsapp as their communication app. Like my country. Where not only friends and family, but also businesses and government entities use WhatsApp as their messaging app. I have at least a couple hundred reasons to use WhatsApp, including all my friends, all my family members, and all my clients at work. Do I like it? Not really. Do I have a choice? No. Just like I don’t have a choice on not using gmail, because that’s the email provider that the company I work for decided to go with.

Right?! It’s literally just a messenger, honestly, all I expect from it is that it’s an easy and reliable way of sending messages to my contacts. Anything else is questionable.

Which you can’t without AI.

Oh, that’s quite cheap! I was afraid it was going to be one of those “cool indie tech” products that costs hundreds of dollars and makes no sense for the consumer except as a cool gimmick. If they can make them a bit cheaper through mass production, this might actually be an alternative.

This is cool, but how much was it?

How dare you ask people on the internet to have reading, interpretation and critical thinking skills and not just read the headline and immediately jump to conclusions based on superficial evidence at best?!

Proceeds to have a melt down for the next few moments considering how time must be a lie.

Well, it is really old news from a game that launched in 2015, but the summary of it is a feature that allows enemies in the game to remember you, and evolve with the player. You killed an Orc chieftain, his right-hand orc is now the chieftain, and thanks you for clearing the way for him. Lost a battle to a miserable orc archer? Next time he sees you he jokes to your face and tells you how shit you are. It is a great system, but it was patented.

There exists no gpu that uses two of those connectors. The whole reason that connector exists is so that you can have a single connector going into any gpu. Thus, the only reason to have two, is to have two GPUs that use said connector. Right now, the main reason to sport two brand new top of the line Nvidia GPUs is AI. Is it the only reason? Not really, it can also be a professional setup for some kind of heavy workload.
