Yup, interacting with and posting with content on these platforms is the best way, people trickle in to see what it’s like. I doubt we’ll ever have a big migration, the goal is long term sustained trickles

and also put a pretty big dent in climate change

I watched an interview where he said in the same sentence that it would solve climate change and world hunger, and something else astronomical.

Absolutely delusional. Think of what all of that investment money would have actually done if put towards actual useful causes.

ORD is such a shitshow. I have to fly there because I have family nearby, but there is always some sort of delay, either because of the airport or storms or something. When I do fly there I take the flight that gets me in at midnight when the airport is dead, and when I come back home I make sure I fly direct and have plenty of time on the other side pending delays.

sigh The Layover. I admit, I watched it

I honestly don’t know how they’re so disconnected from reality. To in the same statement within 2 paragraphs say they both want to be more focused on the gamer, and immediately then say “More GenAI, more recurring payments, more Games as a Service”. I just, I don’t know man. I don’t want layoffs but man they really just don’t get it do they?

Yeah so, we know gamers have hated our stuff because of these horrible shitty practices - but, and hear me out, what if we did that stuff even more, don’t even mention things like great stories and fun worlds or anything gamers have been asking for, and also laid off most of our staff and forced return to office too?

Ubisoft founder and CEO, Yves Guillemot, said the company must pursue a “radically new” value-creation model and become a more “gamer-centric” organization to find its footing in an increasingly competitive and selective triple-A market.

Good! Realizing it needs to be about the gamer again not just shareholder value.

“The new operating model will further empower the execution of the Group’s strategy, centered on Open World Adventures and GaaS-native experiences, supported by targeted investments, deeper specialization, and cutting-edge technology, including accelerated investments behind player-facing Generative AI,” reads the document.

Oh god damnit nevermind, the boycott continues

Lovers in a dangerous spacetime was a ton of fun! Very adorable, simple mechanics, plays on one screen, and not too hard. Also came out over 5 years ago so win win

Like I said, I was agreeing with your title. Thought we were going to have an interesting conversation on AI generated rage bait. Here we are instead.

Technically, I didn’t read the post, but agreed with your title. Then all of your comments after I’ve accused of baiting, but yeah maybe the post was just to bait too.

Stop trying to bait us.

No. No it was not. None of them have been.

Let’s take your first question.

Honest question, are you good just passively watching all this MAGA shit spread?

There was nothing honest about this. I said I didn’t want to read the Facebook post. An honest question would have been:

I know there are many reasons why not you but why don’t you want to go on Facebook?

That’s an honest question.

You had a very obvious agenda. You are obviously trying to bait me into some argument, which I am not getting into with you. Your question was completely dishonest, because it both did not ask me about anything relevant to what I said, and there was also no way for me to answer you without you having a fully planned response.

We aren’t taking the rage bait. That’s for Facebook. Stop trying to bait us.

Why do you turn everything into an inflammatory question?

Me watching it isn’t going to help anything.

Not going to look at the link, but I see it’s Facebook, and from my last experience over a year ago it was well over 90% AI generated rage bait

I’ve learned that any bar for entry significantly cuts down on spam. Turns out people are lazy and reactionary. Some may do that, but it’s very few compared to those who want to troll right now.

Same thing with basic things like asking a question at sign up, or email verification. The most basic sign up things block 95% of spam

That brand new accounts coming here to stir shit up should be banned. Actually I’m pretty sure everyone here thinks that.

Do you have hotwings?

This is honestly so heartwarming. Adult dudes have such a hard time meeting other guys, this actually makes me happy seeing two dudes just meet and say hello

My take is that you keep posting hot takes on here, trying to stir the pot, and then when called out you say it’s just a joke bro
