“Why should people want to play the games they want to play” is the weirdest argument to take.

It’s not like Linux is 1:1 compatible with everything on windows. Maybe you play a game with kernel anticheat, you don’t have a choice in the matter. There’s no reason to just be a dick about it.

This meme isn’t asking people to learn anything, it’s just shitting on windows users.

Before we start rolling out conspiracy theories and such, let’s all apply a little Occam’s razor to this.

The simplest explanation is that OP is full of shit.

This is a fan mod for Simpsons hit and run, FYI for those wondering

I am not suggesting for a second that he’s completely sane or that dementia isn’t taking hold, I’m merely pointing out that this kind of thing has been his MO for decades at this point. Truth never matters to him or his base.

Why do these kinds of headlines keep getting posted suggesting that Trump is being forgetful? He’s not, he knows exactly who was in charge, but he knows his base is stupid and will get riled up at anything he wants to tell them.

It’s just a constant stream of outrage to keep the base riled.

You’ve been making shit up since this whole debate started. You’re the textbook definition of “perfection is the enemy of good enough” because 99% of people will find that a VPN is good enough but according to you they’re worthless.

Please don’t tell me what I am focusing on, when I haven’t even said it

I literally quoted you, so don’t try playing the “I never actually said that” card.

It’s ironic that you’re now complaining about context and strawmen when you yourself started it with the whole “anyone who wants to know who you are…” argument. This mysterious “anyone” is the ultimate strawman because they’re anonymous and all encompassing. Meanwhile, you have zero idea what anyone wants from their VPN’s so you’re making the broad, sweeping statements while lacking any context yourself.

A dumb take is, to pay for something you might get nothing from

And which VPN provider is it you’re getting “nothing” from? There seems to be a budding market for VPN’s out there, lots of people are paying for them and continue to do so, why do you think that is? Because the whole world is stupid and it’s a pointless waste of money? Or because they are actually in fact getting some kind of use from them?

VPN’s have a myriad of uses, you’re focusing on some ambiguous nation-state attacker tracking you down for whatever reason. Meanwhile, quite a lot of users would just like to watch porn without having to submit ID. I’d say they’re getting plenty of use out of their VPN for that.

Yes locks on your door are pointless because if someone wants to break into your house they’re going to do it once way or another, especially if you leave the window open

This is a dumb take.

It’s all good mate, we’ve all got over excited at times.

If releasing the files wasn’t likely to have an impact, they’d have been released by now.

For even some of the most diehard MAGA folks, diddling kids is a step too far.

Of course there’s a likelihood that the sheer number of folks involved would mean a huge amount of current and prominent politicians would have to go and that would almost certainly amount to what could best be described as a “reset” of the current political system and, well, maybe that’s the real reason they haven’t been released because neither side wants that, even though it’s painfully obvious that the system is broken and needs it.

The article says:

The S1500 features a main airfoil and an annular wing that together form a giant duct. Inside this duct are 12 turbine-generator sets, each rated at 100 kW.

That suggests to me (admittedly a layman) that each blimp is more like 1.2MW?

I appreciate that, but that isn’t really a solution for a saleable game. Concept art sure but that’s it.

Yewahh… How does that help?

Yeah I’ve never been able to draw in my entire life, believe me I tried. I have an eyesight impairment and that doesn’t help.

I feel like your rage is directed at the wrong people

So I’m in two minds about this. I am a software engineer by trade and have an idea for a game I’d like to try making.

The problem is that I don’t even really know how to make games, not do I have any artistic abilities myself. I can’t afford to pay a load of artists for work for a game that might never be finished and might never make money.

So I’m stuck in this hard decision of do I try and make my game, invest a lot of money and potentially lose it all, or do I try and find a publisher who can front the money but lose creative control of my game? Or do I use AI to give me a head start in building something that I can use to garner interest in, in the hope that enough people like it that I can fund the development?

Essentially, AI offers me a way to create something that I would not otherwise be able to create and that’s really hard to accept.

You know exactly what I’m referring to
