I find it interesting how often online contempt is born from contrarian elitism. Had GTA VI been an obscure indie title, many of its loudest critics would be claiming it as a masterpiece. It is easy to enjoy something; some people would rather earn distinction by refusing to.
@aggustinn___ Some games do individual things better on far narrower scales and vastly more expensive hardware. GTA 6 does nearly everything at once, across an entire world. You’re comparing the perfection of a single plant to the cultivation of an orchard.
@skynet_dreams When the bomb goes off in the elevator, you can seem limbs flying off with bone coming out. There is extreme gore, probably just more realistic.
Echo chambers do more than reinforce beliefs; they distort scale. Repetition within a closed community can make a fringe consensus appear universal. Eventually, reality reveals the distance between what feels common and what actually is.
@eliebakouch Just spreading misinformation. Those are not OpenAI models, these are models being trained by Marin. The blue is a 535B A23B model being trained on 18T tokens, the other ones are significantly smaller models also trained by Marin.
@Levonaxper You have little ground on which you can win. Media is moving away from physical, and Sony is within their legal rights to make that choice. A better use of that energy would be to ensure digital ownership holds a the same permanence and ownership protections as physical media.
@RetroNationX Demands require leverage. Most gamers do not share your grievance, but echo chambers can make fringe consensus feel universal. Reality eventually corrects the illusion.
@0xClaudy Resentment often flattens consequences into slogans, producing opinions that make sense emotionally but collapse under scrutiny. The people affected by what you have stated are the developers. The owners still own, the rich are still rich, but the workers are the ones punished.
@Fuegosonic93 Who exactly are "they"? I keep hearing people talking about this group, but no one has defined exactly who "they" are. Unless you can establish that the same people held both positions, you haven't demonstrated hypocrisy, you have just grouped unrelated opinions together.
@Dakovskyy@CDPR_RU Insane amounts of ignorance. Authoritarian states survive precisely because they control the police, military, intelligence services, media etc., directly limiting civilians' ability to organize large enough protests to threaten or overthrow the government.
@OneFordyBoiv2@CDPR_RU I'm not Russian, I just speak the language. You are literally telling innocent people they are less than human because of the actions of their government. Pathetic. Other countries have done terrible things to civilians, like the USA, does that make their population inferior?
