I don’t get the appeal, really. It’s just a lego-looking ripoff where the arms are fucking huge and everything. The things that get chosen to be popular, says a lot about people’s collective tastes sometimes.

It was a dumb idea from the beginning, trying to be an electronics pawn shop. Only the trade-ins are just as worthless as the game ones were.

For a large part, yes. It’s just fuel to the fires of pointless arguments.

I’m sure development studios and individuals have a sense of pride and accomplishment in receiving any award for their work. But, even then, there’s going to be volumes of people who’re going to always feel like their favorites were snuffed for reasons not known to us and it just makes more arguments than actual discussions.

You mean, argue about them? Because I don’t see a lot of good conversations regarding some video games unless it is a hivemind or a circlejerk. It must be on some universally agreed upon ruling before engaging some video game discussions, if not, then bickering or pelting virtual stones at the different thinker with opinions that goes against said hivemind.

I wouldn’t be complaining about this, except I am because Roblox is operated by pedos.

Something extreme measures such as face recognition has to be taken to ensure problems like this won’t happen again. However, though, pedophiles having access to data storage containing such verifications can go so wrong on so many levels.

So heres what they should do:

Fire and prosecute all of the pedos. Replace the pedos with trustworthy people to operate Roblox. Then go through verifying.

Oh yeah after it’s been verified that Roblox is operated by a few pedos? Yeah this will go over wonderfully…

4K is just another dumb marketing jargon to make people think something is better than what we currently have.

I always bring up the argument of transitioning from VHS to DVD, there were vast improvements there in terms of quality. DVD is still around, why? Because it just does good enough and that’s what all anyone can ask for. Blu-Ray is incredibly old now and eventually will take DVD’s spot someday as the ‘good enough’ standard because really streaming is dependent on internet connection speed which can vary the quality which exits itself out of the argument.

And with every gaming generation that comes and goes, it has become harder and harder to notice any groundbreaking differences. It began to get harder when we went from PS3 - PS4 for example. It is now all about just resolutions and nothing else.

It has to be $400 or $500. If they, Valve, really think they’re sitting on a $800 or even a $1,000 machine then they’re lying to themselves.

So the engineer state that it can run ‘all games of the market’. Okay, cool, but at what kind of settings?

Like, it undermines the expectations of what one has when it comes to approaching the idea of having a PC to run games they want to see run flawlessly. I have been there before where I was not satisfied running games at Medium, hell, I wasn’t satisfied when I ran some games at even High. My targeted goal of building a machine, is if it can run at least 90% of games that I throw at it, with optimum performance. Suffice to say, I think I’ve achieved that.

If someone gets a Steam Machine and find that it cannot run that particular game someone buys the Steam Machine for at their preference, you’re going to see refunds flying around.

The Steam Machine development should’ve never went in with the concept of “just run games”, they should’ve went in with the concept of “run games and run them well”.

Why are we still caring about these stupid game award shows when it’s clear that they’re just padded with commercialism and favoritism?

I hate these awards and I hate the ones Valve hosts on their Steam platform. They are all just utterly meaningless. Just nothing but ways to get ‘gamurrrs’ to stir up pointless arguments about subjective things for clout.

Wouldn’t put it past them to try.

The recording industry loves making money off of artists who are long dead. Reminds me of that opening to Ministry’s Ghouldiggers, where the singer is talking about how some artists are being sold off in pieces. Kurt Cobain. Janis Joplin. So many more.

There’s been attempts for AI-like performances, just infantile starts. Like the one time there was a Tupac concert and it was just a digitized version of himself. That’s probably what the future entails, but AI looking to improve it.

God, screw this stupid roadblock of a nuisance. I have to go through this piece of shit everytime I need to log-in to my bank account’s app. Sometimes it’d even fail and I won’t go through. Even if I did go through, I have to double-verify anyways! I’m so over this stupid era of verifying yourself multiple times.

“hey this is my work, what’s it doing here”

Uh so other people can discover your work which therefor, should be an inspiration for you as an artist, to keep going? Duh. Would you have rather it be lost to the sands of time and nobody to know you and what you done so you can be a nobody?

I mean in the past when torrenting was new and very white hot, some artists actually torrented their works and got discovered that way. It was a badge of honor.

There’s even politically-related and news-related posts there too!

Some people just simply don’t care and refuse to actually read that they just contaminate instances with unrelated posts.

I remember having made 3 reports of some news-related articles that got posted here on another account because they didn’t belong.

And guess what? Those reports were shot down and the posts remained. So some mod here seems to believe that it’s okay to try and turn this instance into yet another news-related outlet, not like we have several dozen of them already.

Had a sad feeling that when she was trying to get a gofundme going, that she was on her last legs.

RIP.

They can do that but I’m sure there are workarounds. I just briefly did a google search on ‘Windows activation workarounds’ and I already see some methods and people talking of them.

So again, Microsoft can fuck themselves.

What would also greatly help too, is for moderators and admins to have some balls and neutralize said trolls instead of sometimes letting situations play itself out.

Furthermore, I believe that if moderation is as skeletal as some communities tend to be, it is time to put the power back into the user. I have seen wonderful features and mechanics in place, the problem is, is that those features are spread about in various platforms/sites. Like Gaia Online, old as fuck avatar site, allows you to lock your own threads. Imagine how useful that would be and yes it can be exploited but then that’s when a mod/admin can come in and decide to deal with a user who’ll make shitty posts only to lock them.

The Fediverse’s weakness is that when you block someone, you can still see that they can reply to you, even if you don’t see them. The notification can still register them as anyone else who responds.

I just think with more tools available for users to fend for themselves that aren’t having to always go to the mods/admin or having to mass-report in the off-chance a troll deletes their account to come back and do it all again. With more tools, it would try to help make communities more positive than seeing how long they can endure.
