I think that’s ultimately it. The next TES is going to be a disaster.

Pretty much no phone is directed at everyone else’s face all the time, that alone is the huge difference. It’s the differences between someone using their phone and someone actively holding it upright to record the crowd. Surveillance cameras might be out there too but they aren’t sighted by everyone (different by country, some even have to deleted after 24h, unless there was a crime).

People quickly would tell you to stop recoding, if you’d hold up your phone all the time, even in situations where you’re closer to each other, like in public transport.

In another news a month ago, it said, young gamers do no longer seek confrontation as much and therefore play less PvP games.

Loneliness kills, if you’re lonely you’re probably having zero sex.

Damn. I’m a European citizen, I thought I’m save from opt-out bullshit.

Enshittification continues

HP is doing a lot of advertisement lately, the boycott must show first fruits. Fuck HP.

Some games, like Allen Wake, have been full out removed from sale because of expired music license. There has been other cases some come back later with the music stripped.

Now a lot of companies selling gaming digital goods should get nervous, as they do this 100% of the time.

Next: make it so games can’t suddenly lose their music license. This is so incredible annoying. I know it’s depending on what the publishers negotiated, but it shouldn’t be possible to suddenly patch out soundtracks because of a license expire.

Google is doing a lot of A and B testing right now. Some days I habe to use Bing or duckduckgo, no matter what, or else I get shit results.

You know about the penis that turned the lesbian straight? Same thing but for women pussy.

They are praying on all the “They’ll do a No Man’s Sky comeback” naïve people. Basically free money glitch.

Yeah that semi randomness of NMS is what I had in mind. AI could improve that a lot.

It’s too early. In 10 years Nintendo will, it’s the Nintendo rhythm.

You don’t have to shove AI into everything but it allows for a lot of amazing and crazy things. Gameplay first and I don’t think we need AI for this, but a lot of side elements can be handled by AI. Be it sounds, dialogues, voices, randomness in monster or level design etc. In general, AI could be good with filling games with content without it being generic. It will help to elevate content past obviously identifiable “random” content. Same way an AI image doesn’t look AI if it’s well made. However, we’ll get a lot of shovelware stuff of lazy companies, no one needs those.

Confused it’s Tesla and not X (aka Twitter)

Fdroid is pretty good, I get most of my apps from there by now. I don’t game on my phone though.

It’s only a matter if time til they enshittificate gmail as well.

Don’t worry, we’ll always be able to detect ads and block them. It’s by nature of an ad to be detectable. I highly doubt YT will manage to add ads into the content, not the into the video part, but inside the content, like some Youtuber do already for their sponsoring and even then we have sponsor block.

All I can see is Made in Abyss references.
