Lol, would love to hear why on earth this is downvoted - guess we’re in full on reddit mode and just downvoting everything that isn’t exactly what I think lol

Yeah it was odd to read that description being presented as an oddity - that sounds like most households I know. If you have a wife, kids, or roommate and don’t enjoy being holed up in your own room the whole time you play (and those sharing your house don’t just want to watch you game all night) then in house streaming is a huge boon.

I PC game, but most of my gaming is done on the couch, streamed onto my phone. I’ve been very tempted to buy a dedicated streaming device lately to avoid draining my phone battery while playing

Dissappear? No, of course not

Fall out of repair, and be unable to be repaired effectively without tools, resources, or knowledge that are no longer accessible?

Abso-fucking-lutely

Take a deep sea oil rig. How long do you think it’ll be operational without maintenance with all that sea water? After not too long you won’t be able to repair the damage without serious industrial capabilities, and that’s assuming you even know how to fix it.

Really even as relatively little as a few decades of total chaos and disorganization would be enough to make crawling back really hard. A century and more and it really could be impossible, or at least improbable - especially given that the humanity that comes out of the other end of the crisis is the same one that got us into it. So the remaining pieces of major valuable infrastructure left will probably get wrecked as the survivors fight over them

True, but Its 100% possible for us to get knocked back into the iron age, and if that happens, there’s a very real chance we won’t be able to climb up again.

Easy to access sources of a lot of the resources needed to rebuild a modern civilization are gone, the only reason we can get to the remaining deposits is because we already have the advanced equipment to extract it. It’s entirely possible that if we get knocked back down the tech ladder, we may never climb back up again

Yeah, but they were brown doctors and children, so it’s OK

Edit: did I really need a /s?

100% agree, without it, the decentralization aspect is severely weakened

Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it’s almost more left leaning than Lemmy

Yeah something like the Steam Deck, but where the dock has a beefy eGPU so you can play in 4k on the big screen would be 🔥

Poor people don’t really want things - you need a certain level of cash flow to qualify as a proper person with dreams and feelings, haven’t you heard?

Maybe you ought to humble yourself, given that you’re the one stating that you know with absolute certainty how another individual that you know nothing about would or wouldn’t act.

I never said I was immune to propoganda, lies, or manipulation - there are just simply no lies, manipulations, or propoganda that could make me abandon my morals to the extent of literal genocide. You could probably get me to hate a group you wanted me to hate, but I wouldn’t murder my own worst enemy - so that’s not going to get you anywhere.

I can say with 110% certainty that I don’t need to be forced to not commit genocide. Hell, I don’t even need to be forced to commit individual murders. If murder was made legal tomorrow, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t go on a killing spree because I’m no longer forced to not murder.

Talk about telling on yourself, if this is what you genuinely think is true for everyone

Yeah China and India are tentatively siding with Russia right now, but this would put a stop to that in a hot second

Especially since there’s literally nothing to be gained beyond dick waving - it’s not like they don’t already know that their nukes work, sadly nuclear warheads are a solved technology

Tbh yeah - all you need is to do a bit of reading on the events leading up to WW2 - if this was in a book/movie I’d be saying “come on guys, that’s a little on the nose, isn’t it” lol

Don’t expect much lol, when I pointed out that this was inevitable the most common response was “who cares?”

Privacy is dead mainly because your average person doesn’t actually care about it

because they chimed in an unloaded all their bullshit hatred on me for no valid reason

Really take a step back, reread your initial comment, and tell us honestly that what you’re describing doesn’t sound exactly like what you just did lol

I actually just replayed it recently for the first time since around release (I don’t fuck with GTA:O) and I’ve got to say, it holds up really fucking well

Pretty much everything Google makes exists solely to power it’s ad service - including it’s search engine. That’s literally their whole business. Did anyone think that Google was building browsers just as a fun weekend project?

Remember kids, if you’re not solving climate change entirely in one single step, there’s no point in trying.

Seriously, what a brain dead argument lol

Yeah he’s definetely not innocent, but this is 100% the board at Unity throwing the CEO under the bus to try and control the damage

That’s awesome, but the real question is - will we be able to buy one for MSRP?
