If only you could… you know… use it to pay for stuff? In stores? Wild concept, I know.

Thirteen years ago, this small youtube channel made imo very high quality meta comments about literary stuff and video games on youtube. (starting with the mass effect 3 ending and why it’s bad)

Everything from low quality text, to selection of music, footage and the literary content is just… so good. And they’re a comfortable 10-20 minutes each.

But I am also not sure if after he did what he did, there is really that much to say. The important part of that work is mental work and writing, and it will take forever to make even a single video.

That’s a bit different, because he’s selling finished products. He can just check all the boxes from star wars over dnd to collectible card games and order the value pack from a middle man and then it’s all about the location of the shop and the competition in the area.

You don’t have to understand why a specific product works if what you’re doing is essentially providing a mixed physical storefront for a bunch of corporations.

But this lady is now going to have to make important strategic decisions, about which games to give funding, which ones to cancel, what kind of hardware to even envision.

Compare it to valve, who sat down and build their own controller and handheld, because they looked at 20 years of market and product development and thought they could do better and delivered. You have to know a lot about why you want hardware for what purpose and what makes it better or worse for that purpose to do that.

XBOX, theoretically, same as any other big name in media, could be the place where a new media franchise is born that dominates the next 50 years of pop culture. THAT is the kind of position this is.

That they won’t because they can’t “build the next skyrim / WoW” is kind of the problem.

Being a personal fan of video games isn’t necessarily required to succeed in running a gaming company.

What the F***, yes it is.

(that’s arstechnica saying that though, not the new xbox boss person)

openDemocracy’s website has been repeatedly brought down by an army of bots.

This website uses cookies to give you the best experience.

See, from my point of view, the problem is that the website is up, not that it was brought down?

ok.

Well I for one am shocked that the companies aren’t immediately informed of every secret plan that governments come up with? How dare governments do that?!? Don’t they know who those CEOs are?!!!

It was literally started less than 2 months ago, it’s going pretty well for a national movement. I don’t think it’s explicitly limited to German only, if you want to do an event, you can sign up on the website and do it.

If I search “Iron” on wikipedia I’m looking for facts

Not what I meant.

The point is: there is an established group of editors, with established rules and preconceptions, an established interpretation on what good sources are and what a neutral perspective is and isn’t, and there is no chance of changing those and that is why I have no interest in interacting with wikipedia in any constructive way.

I could talk about politics too, I picked video games because I know those articles are also bad.

Yes.

Yet behind the celebrations, a troubling pattern has developed: The volunteer community that built this encyclopedia has lately rejected a key innovation designed to serve readers.

But not that one, because rejecting AI 1) is not a generational rejection and 2) it is correct to reject it.

What I think is or will be the generational problem: the community that maintains it and decides what is being accepted or rejected is an “in group” that it is impossible to break into with conflicting ideas. For example, I do think the gaming, game mechanics and game development related pages can be vastly improved. But I don’t think the people responsible for those pages are interested in the changes I would suggest.

All the wikis for different games could just be on wikipedia. But they’re not, probably because they were rejected, because it’s “not relevant”. Well, some people decided they were relevant after all and they made their own wikis for those. The outcome is tribalism based fragmentation, because of differences in opinion of who values what and what should be preserved and what shouldn’t.

Thanks!

Please link to a source when you say things like that.

But they so generously extended their blackmail ultimatum date support!! Why won’t people switch? It’s so weird. Don’t they know that MS CEO Satya Nadela ($1.1 Bil) has their best interest at heart, always?

This isn’t a rich dumbass like Trump. It’s always interesting to listen to him.

Noooobody cares where the model comes from once it’s already trained and being run in a sandbox.

All he’s trying to do here, is play for time to get people to stay invested in the US but move out of US businesses himself and into longer term assets like gold. He’s playing the “panic” and “china bad” cards to do it. Don’t believe him and divest. Do it before the US crashes.

In short, this is a social faux pas that you didn’t know about, because you’re new to asking questions online.

And as you can see from the existence of that wikihow page: it’s a common problem and you are not the first or the last to run into this. Sorry.

Learn the culture of the forum. Every community on the internet has its own style and set of rules (both written and unwritten). Spend some time reading through other posts before making your own. This will help you learn the etiquette for that specific forum. Knowing how to ask your question in a way that fits in with that culture can really help you get the answers you need.

Make your title a succinct version of your question.

Go into detail in the body of the message. After writing the title, explain the details in the body. List specific problems and what you have tried so far.

Describing what you have tried so far, is extremely important.

Writing it out can make you go through the thinking steps necessary and you will answer your own question in the process of asking it. That’s so common it’s called “rubber ducking”. Everyone does it. But if you don’t do the writing, people can be cross because you’re asking a question you didn’t need to ask.

Keep an open mind. There’s a chance that you won’t like the answer you receive. There’s also a chance that the answer that you don’t like is the only available option. Make sure to keep an open mind about your responses, and try to avoid getting defensive.

Don’t give up. If you don’t receive any responses, or the responses are not satisfactory, take some time to examine your question. Was it specific enough? Did you ask too many questions? Was the answer easily obtained through a web search? Is the question even answerable? Rework your question and ask it again, either in the same place or a new one. Never believe that you are entitled to an answer. Responders volunteer their time to help out other users. No one owes you an answer, so you should avoid acting like they do.

There are different kinds of communities that have different levels of professionalism and question asking culture. You picked one at random at the wrong level.

I promise you not every community online is like that. Try a different one.

And also, you didn’t do your research for this question either. Or you could have found the wikihow page. 😜

2023 reddit exodus. I use both though. I have looked for a viable reddit alternative for a long time, this one works and has people posting stuff. Fediverse is nice too.

"“Everything in cyberspace is commercial. Everything is in private hands,” he said. De Bruycker, who has led the CCB since its creation a decade ago, stressed that this dependence does not constitute a “major security problem” for the EU. "

Everyone stop listening to this clown.

What should we do?

There is no “we” and you can start a fork/rewrite if you want to, good luck!
