Misses the days when crypto exchange meant a PGP key party.

@commontruth_ Baring a Republican autogolpe happening and Democrats being lined up against that wall and shot, one day the Democrats will be back in power. Then the wall will come down and America will be back on track to the same place we're headed.

@JohnKay901 @martydudeVR There is value in it. Just nowhere near the value they were charging for it.

And the worst thing about it all (and which is what makes it a candidate for biggest scandal of a generation) is that it could have been worth it had Sony bothered to try.

@Albrochier If you think the US political system is well made then you haven't spent enough time there.

@EssexPR I'm only shocked that they haven't released them early.

@HideyoOosawa @matthew_d_green @kmad @matthew_pines Would solve the "AI is destroying jobs" problem.

@billgwolcott @brockpierson Yeah. I'm 54 and by 1995 I was buying games based on my personality. They sure weren't forming it.

@LundukeJournal It's kinda funny that the one technology that has the potential to deliver something close to the leftist end goal society is hated by leftists.

Maybe they're only in it for the immediate satisfication that comes from the struggle and they don't want a better future for all.

@bozoid If exclusives weren't important (particularly first/second party) then Xbox would be in much, much better shape.

Thinking about it, if there is a bigger scandal this gen, it's the amount of IP Sony is sitting on that they don't use outside some nostalgia in Astro Bot.

@JohnKay901 @martydudeVR No, I'm just not going to defend a company that turned a product that had actual potential if they had bothered to do even a half-assed job into a £530 paperweight.

@JohnKay901 @martydudeVR What is the #1 reason people give for buying PlayStations? The 1st party exclusives. The PSVR2 makes the Vita look well supported by Sony.

What use is the PC adapter if you have a PS5 and not a gaming rig?

[xcypherpunk @XCypherpunk]

@UxbEconomist07 @GBNEWS The UK never "played the European game" correctly. We went along with the rules, no matter how stupid and often to our detriment.

That's how it would work with this. They'll say we won't have to ("look at Sweden"), then a few years down the line our own gov will say we have to.

[xcypherpunk @XCypherpunk]

@martydudeVR The hardware side wanted it. The software side by that point were really only interested in the next microtransaction goldmine.

Even the PSVR was running on fumes, with the software side giving up on doing anything interesting at dawn of the PS4.

@DoughnutsinNov But "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" is an absolute.

[xcypherpunk @XCypherpunk]

@denbvk Kind of forget it exists, TBH.

[xcypherpunk @XCypherpunk]

@cheaf25master There is no point.

Though to be honest, there never really was much point if the goal was simply to get a job. A degree in something else and then a short conversion course made a lot more sense.

@dark_coderz No, you're probably a developer who isn't developing in JavaScript.

@dhh You don't need a code of conduct or contributor covenant at all.
