Video game console prices have never gone up like they have in the last decade. Never since video games were invented.
While some consoles have been more expensive on launch when adjusting for inflation, they usually plummeted in price shortly thereafter.
It’s a uniquely bad time in history to be a console gamer.
The website says it uses templates, but they were written by “Matt”. Not sure if that’s an LLM, but it’s at least not using LLMs each time a user visits
Who’s AI Aaron?
Those kinds of things existed in Japan. The Famicom Disk System is probably the most notable example, but I think there were equivalents for the 16-bit consoles
Oh, the picture is an old controller? What’s different about the new one?
I’m surprised this has so many upvotes when there’s a headline and maybe 5 sentences before hitting a paywall
Don’t you need another dozen or so TB? I thought it was 1024, not 1000, to the next unit
I think a lot of societies don’t do enough to teach men about how to communicate and how to communicate feelings.
Part of it might also be men internalizing this notion that they can’t discuss feelings and treating other men with that same standard.
I mean, I get it, it’s harder for men than women. The change needs to start with individual men though, not with society.
Yeah, no, I meant less the surface level stuff and more the “anything complex” category that you brought up.
Not everybody wants to talk about that kind of stuff all the time, and that’s normal. But it has not been my experience that all men want to talk about surface level stuff and only women talk about deeper feelings.
trying talking about your feelings as a man and see how society reacts…
This is odd to me, because talking about my feelings is how I got close to romantic partners. It’s also how I formed a lot of friendships with other men. How can you be close to someone if you don’t talk about feelings?
Why?
Even if that coffee is black and without sugar, that’s gotta be rough on your body and your teeth!
I imagine most do
I don’t think copy/paste is involved. With vibe coding, the AI agent typically has access to your repo/files directly!
Most people who work for evil companies aren’t doing evil things. A lot of the workers also actively try to do their best to make things better for their colleagues or customers. But they don’t make the decisions.
There’s also lots of “passive sabotage/subterfuge” – think of the scene in the original The Incredibles film where Mr. Incredible tells the claimant what she ACTUALLY has to do to get her insurance claim covered.
Agreed! I think it’s not uncommon for old games to be stored in places like garages, attics, or storage lockers though, all of which could lack climate control or be almost anti-climate control.
Or maybe there are a lot of people who’ve got scratched discs. Either way, I’ve seen articles with anecdotes of it.
PS1 and DC games (especially the DC games) will deteriorate. CD-based games are already dying to disc rot.
The limit is when someone or something takes legal action against the author
We don’t have soda, but we have a coffee machine
Should I be worried when they take away the coffee machine, or should I already be scared that there’s no soda?
Which meme is this? I’m not familiar with it
They didn’t say no other games came out. They just said that they haven’t played them.
