  • I just wanted to point that its not because the companies are some inconpetent cartoonisly evil entities, but its because of real live necessities and i bet there is plenty of talented amd passionate people working there too.

    I would also not belittle AAA games. There are plenty of people who enjoy the yearly NHL and CoD releases and thats okay. Its not that differend that some people like mindless action movies and some people like artsy movies.


  • Not to defend big companies, but big companies have larger operating costs and they have more corporate responsibilities, to companies and people who fund them.

    AAA game costs tens or hundreds of millions to make. Indie game can be made with 50k.

    When game costs +40 million to make, you really cant take much risks and cant expect that the guys with the wallet wont want to interviene with you.





  • Small secret.

    When companies compare performances they see only three categories. 0-1 star reviews are bad. 2-3 are okay. 4-5 are great.

    This is because in the end the well written review you gave to the product after testing it for 100 hours and gave the product 4 stars because of the minor flaws is pretty much the same as some randomass teens hype review 5 stars.

    In the end you both liked it and there is no urgent need to fix anything.

    As a consumer you should just trust to the wisdom of the crowd to tell truth.






  • It is sensitive subject, but dont act like it is something everybody everywhere are familiar with it.

    For example i was something like 14 or 15 years old when i saw somebody with differend colour skin for the first time (outside of tv). Slavery was also just a side note on history classes, not because it was covered in shame, but because it did not play any major role in our history. It was just something that happened somewhere.



  • Ai uses energy --> Using AI to make stupid shit uses energy for stupid things.

    You can use mental gymnastics as much as you want about base load of electric grid or stabilising the load or what ever, but it does not change the fact that when you use AI it uses energy that would not be used othewise.

    Saying that it does not matter if the generator powers your AI waifu or something else is just moronic. I can also say that leaving my tv on or not shutting my lights when leaving the house effects jack all in the global sense, but that is not reason to not shut those down when i leave my apartment.
