Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.

The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

What OS and remote are you going to use for that, though?

FWIW, I get like, maybe 14ms latency with Steam Link and that’s just over WiFi, it’s shockingly usable.

There’s something to be said about the convenience that off-the-shelf solutions provide over custom solutions, and that’s coming from someone who typically always opts for custom solutions.

It is a fantasy because unfortunately it’s not a large enough market for any company to care about.

This is true, but if you want 120Hz Steam Link on your TV, it’s usually the only way to achieve that.

Apple TV is honestly fantastic. The only issue is, so many streaming devices don’t support 120 Hz so you can’t have 120 Hz Steam Link for example, you usually need to use the built-in OS Steam Link to stream games at 120 Hz.

I hope this is something that will change in the future.

Actually, I have bad news for you… prices are likely going to go up from the AI bubble plus the upcoming RAM shortage.

Meanwhile I bought an Xbox Series S and PS5 and a Switch 2 plus a bunch of SSDs all in November lol

Having a knee injury plus not much else to do plus a 75 inch TV I bought back in September will do that for you lol

The thing is, if they collapse the economy, and nobody can afford to buy their overpriced products, they’re going to suffer too - which is good, it shouldn’t be only us suffering.

I think that seems obvious, not conspiratorial.

They want to make their services cheaper for them to run, and they want to sell them for more money, while buying up hardware so nobody else can compete with them or not depend on them.

It’s always one thing: Money.

I think you’re looking for “genres”, the problem isn’t the term “video games”.

I built a MAL clone using AI, nearly 700 commits of AI. Obviously I was responsible for the quality of the output and reviewing and testing that it all works as expected, and leading it in the right direction when going down the wrong path, but it wrote all of the code for me.

There are other MAL clones out there, but none of them do everything I wanted, so that’s why I built my own project. It started off as an inside joke with a friend, and eventually materialized as an actual production-ready project. It’s limited more by design of the fact that it relies on database imports and delta edits rather than the fact that it was written by AI, because that’s just the nature of how data for these types of things tend to work.

And if the maintainer doesn’t agree to merge your changes, what to you do then?

You have to build your own project, where you get to decide what gets added and what doesn’t.

I don’t really agree, I think that’s kind of a problem with approaching it. I’ve built some pretty large projects with AI, but the thing is, you have to approach it the same way you should be approaching larger projects to begin with - you need to break it down into smaller steps/parts.

You don’t tell it “build me an entire project that does X, Y, Z, and A, B, C”, you have to tackle it one part at a time.

Yep, it’s good for your health in moderation. As long as it’s not taking over your life to the point where it’s interfering with your normal life, it’s perfectly healthy and nothing to be ashamed about.

It’s really awful because unlike smoking or cocaine or anything else, you can’t just quit food. You need it to live, without it, you will die. Having too much of it permanently alters your hunger levels which makes you require more of it, it’s an endless feedback loop that scientists haven’t figured out yet.

It does seem like they might be making some progress on it with weight loss medicine, if it doesn’t outright cause cancer or other bad side effects. I guess we’ll see.

Okay, but we’re talking non-commercial and commercial websites alike both requiring photo ID.

That’s something new, that hasn’t happened before.

Why do you bother saying this? You really think 10, 15 years ago sites required you to upload photo ID? Did you even use the Internet back then?

Well I mean that’s kind of what Lemmy is like since it’s far more niche than something like reddit, but AI crawlers will find it anyway.
