Without diving tooo much into it, I’m pretty sure the main reason is he doesn’t want government regulation around the games industry.

The most generous summary of his better points would be that it is not always feasible to leave a game in a playable state since server architecture might not allow for that. Semi fair since the games industry has gotten to a point where some of these games may be using code contracted from a third party making releasing the binaries difficult from a licensing perspective.

However he seems to have taken playable as ‘designed for single player’. Using the hypothetical of MMOs needing to be rebalanced around a single player experience. He extended this to a game Meet Your Maker which is reliant on other real players for the experience and saying there is no way to leave that 'playable.

As a note, Stop Killing Games is NOT asking for any rebalancing to be done and this is an entirely fabricated complaint.

Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.

I envy the willpower to tune him out.

Nah man, it’s cool, I learned a bit more English today!

This is a fundamental flaw with current Christianity and most religions as a whole.

If an arbitrary third party absolves your sins then you don’t feel an emotional need to own your wrongs.

The above assuming the person isn’t a psychopath in the first place.

Giving away 200 billion dollars means having 200 billion dollars. Bill Gates might be one of the 'better billionaires, but just the act of hoarding that much capital is harmful, let alone the method used to obtain it.

I have family who truly believe Trump to be a genius. But everytime, and I do mean everytime I hear him speak he comes off as a senile idiot.

I wish I understood what spell he has people under.

The fact it is a significant fraction of his defensive fund is the depressing thing. But thanks for trying!

The unfortunate thing for me is I don’t see how we get reasonable competition in the computing space at this point. The economies of scale that is required to get a reasonably priced chip to market is enormous.

Unsurprising, Nvidia really only cares for the higher end market for gaming.

Hopefully AMD and Intel can find success making reasonable cards for the masses.

Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.

Most of my picks have been mentioned already, but I had a blast with Mullet Madjack. A tongue in cheek riff on 80s anime in a boomer shooter where you have 10 seconds to live, but each enemy kill gives you 2 more seconds of life.

This was the top comment for me, and I thought it wasn’t going to be too bad.

Wow there are some hot takes down there.

Truly, best I can tell, death is seen as the solution to many problems rather than, you know, solutions.

Look the cybertrunk is a dumb vehicle. But, isn’t this how trucks and other off-road targeted vehicles are displayed?

You can, apparently a decent portion of the population can’t.

Find your kickflip.

Those programs do have an effect on pricing. Not 1 to 1 with the cost subsidization and even if it does there’s plenty of arguments to keep programs like that around.

However I’d rather see moves made to encourage positive behaviors, like purchasing an electric vehicle, that didn’t translate into a dealership subsidy.

Look, I don’t appreciate being called out this hard.

Yeah, this is my issue with the government incentives for EVs, especially now that they are more common and can be deducted from the sale price. Most retailers are just jacking up the price to whatever the cap for the rebate is while pretending it’s still a good deal.
