Steve: I want you to be a pretty women.

Genie: huh, okay. poof

Steve: my second wish is, you become my wife and love me desperately forever.

Genie: dafuq!?

Give it a bit more time. Soon we’ll have those directional speaker. Linus from Linus techtips showed them a few weeks ago. They will be able to blast you hundreds of meters away with directional noise that only people hear who they want it to hear.

It’s almost always instantly. Like sometimes second after posting. Then it either snowballs or it goes back into positive. But initially, be it on Lemmy or Reddit it happens. I’m not constantly complaining about China, the handful of times though, it’s super obvious. Doesn’t happen on other topics.

It’s also a lot of bots. They are here too. For example, just say China plus something negative about them, in a thread about China. Easiest downvoted one can get. Make sure it’s a fact and not whataboutism, to avoid contaminating the test.

Gaming used to not be like that, but now a good GPU alone costs 800 to 2500 bucks. Sure you get away with cheaper components but at what cost, you got to be patient gamer to enjoy this endeavor.

Now I’d like to taste some fresh ancient marshes mallow.

Woah! Crazy that something like that existed.

Wtf are you talking about?

Edit: I could not verify what this guy claimed at all. It’s mostly Japanese user instances and that’s about it.

Got to upvote this opinion, because it’s unpopular and wrong.

I had a very long explanation ready but I didn’t feel like bothering people to read all this, so in short:

Look up what suspension of disbelief is. Try to show empathy towards people who can immerse themselves into a game because it looks as realistic as possible. Accept that games are as diverse as other forms of art and understand that you are just showing preferences, that doesn’t mean the other form is wrong. Don’t pick something like CoD as a measure for anything other than pure greed.

Large game publisher are not your friends, they only want your money. The realism approach isn’t wrong, it’s the consumers who buy the shit games. The graphics of the game don’t matter, it’s what companies can get away with and so they’ll repeat it.

It’s also not like as if I care. In case of total collapse and me being hungry, I’ll just take the food regardless. Cash is pointless as we’ve already moved digital, even in a cash country like mine.

Not to forget, how we now “only” work 40h (for most people), but productivity went up and a lot of down times and social interaction in the past, were replaced by workload grind in a now stressful office environments.

Asus would do good in hiring a real lawyer. Parents accept, kid uses router, data collected of child, illegal. So easy to rip them a new one.
