Fully agree, the last time I went was once this year, and I paid with a gift card I got from before their bending the knee, so it only took assets away from them. Other than that, I will not shop there.

I know you’re joking but I immediately started thinking that. Is Target going to suddenly have totally legit honest LGBTQ stands again now? I have a feeling we’re going to have whiplash with all of these corps.

Ah, you see, it’s a meme. It may not be 100% accurate.

Oh but I’ll be buying a few 1U /2Us with some H100/H200 for sure.

Great! Let’s teach kids that “searching the internet” does not have to mean “Google it”

Its a great metric for a corporate job. Still into how they decide what features are built for their products, what gets priority. Best places I worked at always involved customer feedback in some way. Arrogant line go up places always chat about looking at competitors and feeling out the market.

Turns out when you build things customers want, they keep being customers. Who woulda thunk.

That’s part of the reason I made this meme, it’s not even permanently disable internet features, but don’t you want to at least disable internet features temporarily while people are actively attacking them until you do get your security up to par? The fact it happened twice shows they just thought it’d be a one-off

The older you get the less time you realize you have to do things like gaming. I don’t even have kids, but my last 5 weekends have had events/meetups/items on them that 10 years ago I wouldn’t have had. I’m more exhausted after work now too, and spinning up a game and getting into the mode is effort in itself now. So, when I do game, I find myself being annoyed at games that want me to sit for an hour whittling down a boss, or figuring out some inane puzzle. If I only have max 10 hours a week to game, then I want to spend them making progress in a game.

For example I’m playing FF7 remake (first playthrough, no spoilers please) and I was fighting in the arena, and it took me a couple tries and finally made it through after probably 2 hours of fighting. Then the surprise round with the house, and I failed 5 times, I’m simply not spec’d right, and wasted 3 hours trying to get past it. At that point I’m not even enjoying the game anymore, and the small amount of time I get to play games I didn’t even get to see any new story or character development. Then I have to go do something else and it’s been 2 weeks now since I have had time to game, but thinking about it I just get annoyed.

That’s my thought. If it was for reading only then it makes sense to have charting on them and make sure they’re working, but editing should have been a local only thing.

and now they’re figuring out the other side of that cost equation, that there’s a large amount of risk by exposing it. I agree on the monitoring side, that makes sense, but the fact that they had more than “read” permissions enabled at all shows that they didn’t do security well, and this is the cost of doing that. If they didn’t want to do security the right way, then maybe they should go back to how it was done in the 70s with a guy sitting in there watching them.

I just watched obsession for Halloween, that movie fucked me up. She definitely deserves the award

I’m sorry, I’m not allowed to copy a protected work

Actually, we are authorized, and even if we weren’t this one is okay

You’re absolutely right, this one is a good exception, I’ll start investigating now.

Disk write error.

Almost like the error has something to do with writing to the disk.

As in the disk may have an error in which Steam cannot write to it.

What else is Steam supposed to say? it’s literally pointing to the error, it can’t do anything else. If you don’t know how to pour through logs or anything that’s okay, that’s what Geek Squad is for

Agreed. It’s not because we’re all going to be swimming in CXMT ram. It’s because it’s going to hopefully force everyone else to suddenly be competitive.

That is actually exactly what I was thinking of. A game so bland and corporate that it gave away its soul. The title is proof. The name went from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (A name all the fans were excited about and a direct successor to the massive cliffhanger) to Veilguard. You could just tell it went through so many committees and had to be approved by 16 layers of middle management.

Elder scrolls will be the same.

I was reading their earlier comments trying to figure out why they were removed, and then got deeper into the thread. Jeez. Then they wonder why they get banned everywhere. They really came into the place we called home and decided they were going to be an ass to all of us? Then are surprised when they get banned?

It was pretty well theorized that by killing off apis they were cutting out their highest content providers, us. We provided free content and they got value out of it. Then they didn’t want us anymore.

Now we are here, thousands of comments and posts, and they are upping theirs with AI slop

Oh the DLC are phenomenal. Few games get high praise for their DLC but Mass Effect 2 and 3 do. Citadel is the perfect capstone to the trilogy, and if you haven’t played ME3 with Citadel well you are in for a treat

Horrible tradeoff from a gaming standpoint. I’m sure numbers show it’ll be wildly profitable and of course they should have done it. We all know tens of thousands of people will happily buy a battlefront 3 as well.

We had one great Mass Effect trilogy that brought love and hope to so many, I loved it so dear, while I’m sad there won’t be another I’m also so glad we got the trilogy. It’s such a huge part of my life in so many deep personal ways. If that’s the way EA wants to sever my relationship to them, so be it.

If that’s it I’ll be annoyed just because sentinel is such corporate word. It feels corporate doesn’t it? Yes it’s a city there, but it’s the “safe” sounding word. I’m just bracing for the next elder scrolls to be like Starfield. Toxic positivity and writing right out of big corporate thinktanks.
