Also while I'm yelling into the void, the Steam box is over priced. While I'll say again I do understand the chip prices and general inflation making the price go up, but that doesn't help the end user, and I honestly don't believe they couldn't afford to sell it for less.
A normalized price point of $80 for video games, especially without an actual physical game in the box, is gonna end up pricing many people out of the hobby, or at lest heavily reducing the market share. People will say it's fine because of "inflation happens, prices go up" 1/2
That doesn't change the fact that most people's paychecks aren't going up. It doesn't change the fact that hardware to run the game costs more now. It doesn't change the fact the companies are trying to gouge us for every last nickle and dime they can. 2/2

It should be noted all the Irish parts of Belfast remain quiet and calm and our new communities are safe and sound - all the trouble - as usual - is in the areas of Belfast populated by Scottish/British immigrant planters whose ancestors invaded Ireland and stole our land.
Can we stop with this dystopian bullshit? AI is a TOOL.
It is not a personality, it is not inherently creative, it doesn't have a journey or an experience to share. It's fucking 1's and 0's that create whatever it's prompted to. This shit is fundamentally anti-human.
"use ai or you'll get left behind" oh no that's okay you guys go on ahead i'll be back here with my reading comprehension & critical thinking skills
