Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.

It’s worked so well until now.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.

Weird people were forced out of the industry over the past decade or more, for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with making games.

Where did they add the option? It certainly wasn’t there last time I tried to figure it out, though that was admittedly a long time ago.

On the windows xbox controller, the huge raised button in the middle turns on big picture mode. I’m not aware of any way to disable that button. It’s a huge pain in the ass if you accidentally touch it and get yanked out of whatever you were doing.

Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.

Well we’re going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.

The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.

Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.

Civilization exists because enough people know that we’re better off working together than against each other.

You. Tonight.

All media consumed supplants the ordinary brain function.

We must play with different crowds.

That same problem still exists even when sorting by upvotes, because the earlier a comment is posted the more people will see and be able to vote on it, pushing it higher.

That’s my point. If I’m already cool with Windows, what should I care about other, lesser, malware?

Damn. Three months.

The fuck should I care? I already installed Windows entirely with informed consent.

Laws aren’t enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we’re going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.

They’ve basically been treating people’s hobbies as though they were competition to be eradicated.

I’ve had arguments with people in simple little games, where the points barely matter at all, because some people get upset if others don’t play for pure efficiency.
