To be fair though, old video game movies had a much younger fan base, now those fans are in their 40s and have kids.

I remember Tomb raider was such a niche film, no where near critical mass recognition.

Might as well, post endgame is rather uninspired.

Also, video game movies have a lot more variety

This is honestly such an uplifting news that gives me hope for the future.

Prefer this over stories like a 10 year old that raised money to make up for lack of health care or some dystopian thing like that.

The saying “better a donkey than an ass” plays on the dual meaning of the word “ass.” It suggests that being called a donkey is less offensive than being called an ass, which can be used as an insult meaning stupid or foolish. The phrase highlights the contrast between the animal donkey, often seen as a hardworking and steady companion, and the derogatory use of “ass” in everyday language.

Yep, it does work

Huh, wouldn’t have thought number of chess players would be growing.

Nice of them to pretend like they aren’t gonna do a 180 on the whole Biden anti trust stuff.

I thought we all agreed that real life is the game “outside” but the graphics are really good so it tricks most people

I still don’t understand how helicopters are not flying cars.

If you want everyone to have a flying car, we should talk about everyone having a helicopter first so we can quickly come to the conclusion of why that’s a bad idea.

I can’t think of a better example of the need to “seize the means of production” than the starlink network.

Seriously, space is not within any country’s borders, how can one have private property up there?

They ran out of data huh?

Yes there is throwaway work but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be done.

Every line of code a programmer does is written so it can benefit the company or make the coder’s life easier.

We are trained to not do busy work if that makes sense, and it’s not busy work if management honestly tells you that they need X, regardless how right or wrong they are.

I agree, I was very careful to say tries to ಠᴗಠ

Given how python tries to be as readable as possible with its controversial stance on using indentation, is it really neutral?

Idk if moral alignment makes sense for languages, at least not as much as weapon metaphors.

the higher the number the more engaging the post is. Or in other words how many people were pissed off enough to comment

Omg, I’m so glad there isn’t any entity trying to boost this KPI like it’s the only thing that matters in the world.

The main good thing about blue sky is that it kind of taught people that jumping ship is always an option.

Which is a good lesson overall.

It’s not the technology, it’s the businesses interests behind such technology.

We live in a time of robber barons and these are just their tools

So I actually read the article, even though there are huge outstanding questions on the nature of ownership, that’s actually not what the court argument is about:

Replying to Ubisoft’s argument that the statute of limitations is up, the plaintiffs responded with their own photos of The Crew’s packaging, which states that the activation code for the game doesn’t expire until 2099; that’s an example of how Ubisoft “implied that [The Crew] would remain playable during this time and long thereafter,”

Well yeah… software as a service is a thing but Ubisoft is straight up lying…

My two cents: no one is expecting online services to be up forever, so imo the correct solution is open source the game after the company meets their 10 (or 20) year obligation which should be clearly pointed out during the initial rental agreement (shouldn’t call it purchase)

It’s gonna be the golden age of piracy ya’ll.

Time and time again they keep “fixing” piracy with good access (Netflix, steam) and then spend the next decade(s) ruining it.

A post about technology on the technology community?

What year is this?

Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.
