With GPT o1, I think there is a very small piece of intelligence at play, but it’s basically (8.5, 1.5) on this in my mind

A beanie in the fall because I look cute in it

I’m a young millennial so for me it was either Spyro the Dragon or Super Mario 64. I was born in the era of 3D gaming!

I think it has more to do with the 117 million units the ps4 has sold, making the console more accessible

The PS4 and Xbox One came out a decade ago. The PS5 and Xbox Series X came out 4 years ago. What are you talking about?

On a long enough timeline, yes! Plus I share my library with like a dozen people so I’m sure someone will appreciate these

This thread has cost me about a terabyte on my NAS.

Yeah it’s not ideal. I just don’t see a world where Microsoft will set people’s search engine to DuckDuckGo

Glad you had something useful and helpful to add to the discussion. Have you ever in your life heard of “playing devils advocate”? Read a book some time.

Imagine you have a computer that’s been compromised by malware. What do you think the search engine will be set to? Not Google, not Bing, probably some third party one that has ads and malware. Changing that to Bing would technically qualify as a repair.

They could easily improve this by just adding a list of common reputable search engines, and adding those to an allow list.

Only tip on stayovers. I used to be a housekeeper and I kind of grew to expect it after a guest had been in the room for multiple days, but never for just an overnight.

If you make a really big mess in the room, and don’t tip on a stay over, I would dip your toothbrush in the toilet 😂

A non-profit can, in fact, profit, but it has specific rules on what it can do with those profits. Tax law is a rabbit hole and I don’t even wanna peer in

It seems like a profit-driven thing to me. Big piles of anonymized data are worth a pretty penny.

Importantly, if you have already opted out of sending data to Mozilla, this change will not affect you. It only sends data if you have the setting turned on. It takes just a few clicks to entirely disable it, and Mozilla deletes all record of your browser within 30 days from turning off this feature. If you’re worried about it, do it now, it’s just under Settings > Privacy & Security. Instructions are also linked in the blog post.

Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.

In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.

It’s not a controversial take, but survivorship bias is certainly strong with anything like this. People like classic rock because the bad songs from that era have faded into obscurity. The same goes for your favorite retro games; for every Ocarina of Time there was a Superman 64. For every Zelda there were 3 shitty LJN games.

The type of trash is just different. Instead of low-effort cash grab games, now we get high-effort overworked devs making a game that asks you to pay for it over and over again.

I’ve been playing Balatro and No Man’s Sky.

I actually picked up a ps3 slim and a decent handful of physical games. You can still buy digital ps3 games too on the console itself

It’s not dumb at all, no need to downplay your passion. Loud and proud I say!!

My favorite is the PS3. Something about its design and library just speaks to me.

The only good new mobile games are on Apple Arcade, which is behind a paywall. It sucks but what can ya do.
