I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.

Yep, no difference from PS4 for any game. This fast loading they talk about, minimal.

I have a ps5. I dont think I’ll ever buy another console thats not a PC. I want to keep my library. I want a choice of places to buy games. I want no subscription for basic services. Consoles solved a problem that running high end games with specialized hardware was cheaper. Now its not, so they dont make financial sense.

I would assume my next games machine will be a steam deck type device that works like a switch for big screen, or that just streams over WiFi to my TV.

DC++ It was just sharing stuff. No search. You connect to someone’s computer, they have a shared folder. You download what you want and move on. Instead of searching for stuff, you discovered it.

Yes, which existed at the time but was not a commonly used phrase. I dont know that it had even been coined by that point.

I’ve already switched to Firefox. It makes me a little sad that I moved to chrome in the first place. Back then google seemed to care about improving the web experience and moving to open standards. Now they are so dominant, it’s the opposite. Its the death of an idealistic internet.

I run a WordPress site but I’m not a developer.

It seems like automatticuses the community for free development and profits from it. They in turn develop and support it, heck they created it.

However, with foss its free for WP engine to use and they dont like it. So they are throwing a hissy fit and making out its about the community and giving back. BS.

I assume it will fork.

Ramping up production didn’t reduce demand. Demand reduced due to a softening Chinese economy, mainly due to debt and housing.

I agree, it’s not excess supply when you can sell it overseas. However, its also not central planning when you wanted to Ramp up supply for domestic consumption but end up using capitalism to keep efficiencies.

Companies ramp down production all the time. What do you think redundancies and factory closures are for? They react to market conditions or seek new markets (as happened in this case).

I thinknyouve got it backwards. Central planning can efficiently produce anything. As in, it can make as much of a product at the cheapest price as possible. The problem is central planning is less efficient at deciding how much is needed. It will often over or undershoot. Thats what happened here. Tonsaybthey can still sell overseas, so its still central planning being efficient is incorrect. Central planning didn’t work to produce the needed amount so trade through capitalism is being used to improve efficiency of the capital used.

Possibly only English language stuff found. Depends on your tracker search engines. Some not very obscure shows in english are hard to get. Popular or current shows though, should be easy.

They tend to be more efficient. However central planning in China which ramped up production yet has reduced demand, means an excess supply.

So, selling to Europe or USA makes sense to offload that supply. In a capitalist, closed system, they would have ramped down production, but also wouldn’t have had the capital to ramp up production so quickly.

If they weren’t seen as a strategic asset, then Europe and USA wouldn’t care that China is subsidizing cheaper products. They dont want their car industries dead as then they are dependent on China.

Usually with the arrs, downloads are not triggered by setting changes. If it sees a movie OE show that you have monitored, which matches better, it will download it. However, you can trigger a manual search.

So over time you may get them gradually depending on how popular they are. For anything you want now, you’d need to search. Depending on your library size, you can trigger a search for all, but that risks huge amounts of data and space usage immediately.

Support is more likely to cone for AI purposes. They won’t want to be left behind with poor support on the servers that run AI.

Rust is bad for cars

So, you think on,y the best workers will leave? Not a great policy then.

And while they serve a purpose, they aren’t really missed in any significant way when gone.

15 years ago, we might have missed google. There were other options then, but they were worse. Now google is worse.

I think some have said the start of resident evil village is quite scary on vr, but I havnt played it. Probably less so if you’ve already played it. There are a bunch of junonscare games but they interest me less.

I found the batman vr game on psvr scariest. It wasnt that scary a premise, but because of the immersion, it was extra. You knew joker was in a cell and you had to Kean in to see. Although you knew he would get you, you had no choice. You had to physically force yourself to be attacked bybsteppibg forwards.

Similarly, the jumping off a cliff to commit suicide in suoerhot vr was quite confronting and scary. I think they edited it out.

I’m looking forward to astro bot. But I’ll be waiting for a sale.

If a product doesn’t make sense, invest in other products instead. First party games. Psvr2 is all but abandoned,

Yes, definitely. But important to not have annidealised view of outcomes either. Realistic goals and expectations in real life as in gaming.
