The 90s ended 23 years ago. And to not just live through but also “care” about MsS doings in the 90s someone needs to be even older.

Its really not that far fetched that a lot of younger people may see MS in a more positive way than you do apparently.

Well, obviously someone did the math and figured out it’s better to have these titles than not. So I’d say you’re wrong.

If the title makes more people click in the first place and the amount of people who stay to read at least until they know they’re not interested, is bigger than the number of visitors if they had a normal title… the stupid title wins.

Unfortunately that’s not just gaming related news, but all news (and non-news).

It’s by design. It leaves you wondering (and ideally click on the article).

What I actually would like to know if journalists, or whoever writes the articles, are picking these headlines consciously or if they’re following guidelines. I can imagine both scenarios.

You don’t know anything about me or my work experience.

Throwing around insults is not helpful, but neither is “trust me bro”.

I finally got around installing OpenMW and started playing.

Feels good to relive my first “serious” RPG experience.

Fair, maybe that’s how it was meant. But “dicking around” makes me think otherwise.

If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.

It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.

Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.

I think his argument is valid, just as yours is.

You’re right it’s not only the US. But he’s also right that phones are not the only reason / common denominator. Basically every country has a rigged economy and a two class justice system - some more, some less. But the ruling class secured their privileges everywhere. Our planet’s doom looming over the horizon is also a global phenomenon.

What unrestricted access to the internet is doing: it’s making everyone much more aware of those things, their global scale. Everyone gets a feeling of how bad it is because there seems to be no greener pasture anymore.

Anyone has that meme with Space-Marine-style Millienial protecting lil-Gen-Z guy with his sword, saying “they fucked us real good, no?” or something.

It was here a couple weeks ago.

Not that I ever reused the potato cooking water, but TIL. Thank you.

That show should come with the disclaimer to avoid the season finale at all costs. Just terrible.

I like the idea (I don’t want to call it a fan theory) that it resembles a typical “first love” relationship. Whose first relationship / young love was not cringe and full of awkward situations (for bystanders)?

Never thought of this, you’re not wrong.

On the other side her dying because she lost the will to life… is kind of a good explanation for an unlikely death in such an advanced civilization.

Obviously they could simply keep her alive despite any actual medical condition. So what else could she die of… except for a spiritual (I don’t know a better description) reason.

Kind of a “so bad it’s actually good” explanation.

Yes and no. Yes because the process would work in theory. No because the attestor (supposedly the OS?) wouldn’t attest your “headless proxy browser” as legitimate client.

Using a proxy would move the battlefield to how to trick the attestor. But realistically the whole thing will go down this route anyway. It’s another arms race. At the very end they’ll require cryptographic chips soldered into your device which make sure you’re not sideloading any software before running the OS, which would allow you to trick the legitimate attestor of the OS.
