American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

You mean lobbies the government to ban Chinese EVs, because they have no means of competing whatsoever? Free market for me, but not for thee.

Of course. Any issue is only serious for you if it impacts you and/or if you care about it.

This sounds funny, but is actually a very serious issue. The main factor separating sermons by priests from sermons by any other people, e.g., homeless drug addicts, is that God is supposedly speaking through priests.

So whenever they give a speech, it’s treated as a speech from God. Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists, which means anyone attending such a sermon is being blatantly scammed. The Pope shouldn’t ‘ask’ anyone to stop using AI. He should immediately remove all of them from clerical service for defrauding people on the Church’s behalf.

Now all we need is for some unethical ones to hack them into bankruptcy.

I wouldn’t say it’s quite as simple as that. It wasn’t always a linear downward trend. First couple of generations of video games were pretty terrible from a game development perspective. No disrespect to the developers or anything. Of course, they were amazing programs that took a lot of clever engineering to work, but still not very good games.

The really good games started coming out somewhere in the late '90s, I think? Then reached the peak in either 2000s or 2010s. From there, it’s been pretty much a downward trend. Most games in 2026 are so basic and shallow mechanically. AAA games are essentially semi-interactive tech demos.

Yeah, like pretty much all computers nowadays. But nobody wants to combine that with cloud gaming for a total of 500ms input lag.

For all the hate we’ve given Creation Engine over the years… I think we can all agree it’s still infinitely better than Unreal will ever be.

Good. Fuck em.

Literally my first thought as I was reading the post. Then I see this as the first comment.

Of course it’s possible. Just not financially viable, according to corporate logic. It’s not about profit. It’s about ever increasing profit. So what do you do when the sales have reached their peak and stopped increasing? Lower the production costs and/or increase prices.

I’ve worked in the video game industry for a few years, both at and with large corporations as well as smaller studios. Game optimization has rarely, if ever, been a concern for anyone. Usually, as long as the fps only occasionally drop to 25 on high-end systems - it’s good enough.

To be clear, smaller game studios care significantly more about optimization/accessibility. There’s no denying that. However, with their limited resources, sometimes there’s not a whole lot they can do.

What you’re asking for is completely reasonable and would be great. But it’s just not gonna happen. Most studios prefer Unreal, because it lets them outsource a lot of work to India, and potentially cuts the development time ever so slightly.

A lot of people say that the price increases will force developers to optimize and to work with what hardware they have to make good games and stop using AI gen and DLSS tech as an excuse for poor optimization.

The main problem with this is simply that it won’t happen. Every company would have to spend more on their games for no monetary gain, while their competition likely won’t do the same.

Not to mention, big game companies already have insanely powerful hardware, so it doesn’t impede the development in the slightest.

No offense to anyone, but to me MacOS feels like an operating system designed specifically for mentally deficient, disabled toddlers. So much ‘time saving’ in the background it’s actively wasting my time.

Wrong. Men make money to become women.

American free market advocates when the market is free:

I think I’d prefer an unsolicited dick pick.

The same people who are in the files run the media. Not 100% positive, but this might have something to do with it.

(…) we need to make sure we’re being fair to the rest of the team (…)

Let everyone go early then, fucker

Nobody wants to admit this, but you didn’t own your Windows 8/7/Vista/XP PC either. Or any of the previous iterations, or any MacOS devices.

It was just less noticeable and invasive. Same idea, same process, but simply closer to ‘in early development’ than to ‘final build’.

Windows 11 isn’t the problem. The problem started long before at least half of us were even born. Until recently most ignored it, because it ‘wasn’t that bad’. Then it got really bad.

Ads in general, sure. They work wonders, even on people who consider themselves immune to advertisement.

The post is about targeted ads, however. Do they really offer any substantial advantage? Let alone one worth all the data harvesting? Probably not.

Who would have guessed the moron with no real education, knowledge or experience in any profession, whose companies barely make it despite all the unfair advantages you can think of, is clueless just like he has been every day for the last 54 years of his life.
