I don’t get the premise of posts like that. We scold Google and other corps for not following the laws they are supposed to follow (data protection for example).and then we scold them for daring to follow lawmakers, when we don’t like the laws they follow. Which is it?
I got some recommendations from friends of mine.
Since I became a dad, my focus on games has shifted massively. Super deep immersive games are now en par with “Get in there, do some busywork with plenty of explosions and quit the game again” types of games. Since you can’t play long sessions or multiple sessions back to back anymore, “mediocre open world” that gets you in and out there fast becomes actually something worthwile since you’re never playing long enough to become tired of the busywork.
All I read in that article was “yarr”
Of course, this can be described as a skill issue. Yet, the OP states that games get better and more polished if you let “Developers cook”, using Helldivers 2 as an example. My reply was that the game is not an example of what I’d call “polished”.
Helldivers stole the matchmaking form Warframe/Destiny (more Warframe) and I got thousands of hours in both, but Helldivers made it so obscure that I could not figure out how to find a group. I was placed on one once. Then I had a loading screen, then a hidden loading screen (aka “ships fly next to each other sequence”), then walked up to the person I was apparently in a group with, then got kicked, had the same amount of loading, just backwards. After that, I tried several missions, all without any support by anything. The combat system is utterly useless when alone (which I only was because of matchmaking). I refunded this very undercooked game.
Why not use Horizon (doesn’t matter which one) as an example? Or Xenoblade Chronicles? God of war?
Can we all agree to call this vulnerability “Poobear”?

Where… is that power cord going?
I mean investment less in dollaridoos and more in time and energy.
Well, the line between a minimal overhead, self employed lifestyle and an abusive workplace are fuzzy in those kinds of arrangements
While I love that they are profitable, this sounds like a massive private investment from all involved which is not a good model as a whole
You wanted to say that some gen Zers buy novelty Bluetooth headphones that look like a phone with a cord on it, right? Also: who still had a cord in the 2000’s besides super important business ppl?
What tone? I was pulling your leg a little, as in “haha u old”, no sarcasm intended.
Regarding the sources: I just did a quick google and here is the most trustworthy source of business insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-iphone-ownership-creates-culture-of-multitasking-2019-6
that aside, one of the connections I have to the US has kids and her kids actually experienced some isolation because the kids only had “cheap android” and thus couldn’t use iMessages which was what all the other kids pointedly used because teenagers are suckers for made up common identity bullshit. It was that one specific brand of baggies when I was young, now iit seems to be iPhones in some places.
Well, if you don’t know that, it means that either, you are not a US citizen, which we ruled out, ooooor… oooh, I hate to break it to you but… you have lost touch with “the youngsters” as they say. You are old.
I’ve been told that that’s how the kids roll these days in the US.
Dude, you tried to lead OP off on a weird tangent that
a) they didn’t follow you on and
b) was nonsense and lacked understanding on your part from the get go.
Stop insulting people as being stupid when clearly you didn’t (want to) understand what was said and just tried to tell people who told personal anecdotes that their anecdotes are wrong…
10/10 would recommend
They’d fall apart where the teeth meet the sole and the upper shell, sadly.
So we want Google and such to ignore laws when we think they should be ignored? Who decides which is which then?
