@endless_sine "Yes, let's replace all our rule-based consistent tools with a stochastic matmul blackbox that communicates in natural language only" - statements uttered by real people, apparently
@FluffKaiser@KonerCd@Koltsovite That being said, it does show how flawed the relationship was between the realities of USSR and the ideals it was supposed to represent.
@statesminds@G0ffThew Every day I wish there was more stuff like Pillars being made. And, foolish though it may be, I'm still holding out hope for Pillars 3 (no way it's getting made with the ongoing game industry crisis) or at least Josh's Pillars TTRPG (it'll be ready when it's ready).
@enigmoron@JasminePie5@JoshuaBailey184@YottaMindset The difference between investors themselves and appointed executives legally obligared to represent the interests of the investors' wallets is largely academic for purposes of the argument, come the heck on
@enigmoron@JasminePie5@JoshuaBailey184@YottaMindset The leap you're apparently making from Soviet Union running things a certain way due to largely geopolitical reasons to all non-capitalist economic systems being ontologically inferior might be what people are objecting to.
@enigmoron@JasminePie5@JoshuaBailey184@YottaMindset My point is, there is no reason reason a communist country couldn't have a video game industry. It would be a *different* industry, that's for sure, and we can only speculate on how it'd be different based on things like history of Soviet cinema, etc.
@enigmoron@JasminePie5@JoshuaBailey184@YottaMindset To answer the second question (because the first has no substance to it), it wasn't nearly as bad as you think, and the deficiencies can be trivially attributed to the semiconductor gap and the general lack of priority given to luxury goods.
@enigmoron@JasminePie5@JoshuaBailey184@YottaMindset One of my earliest memories involves a handheld gaming device made in the Soviet Union.
Your argument is only marginally less absurd than the idea that under socialism there'd be no movies.
Apolitical gamers are really being forced to learn previously niche, left-wing-coded concepts such as rent extraction & enclosure of the commons because of Playstation

@BluebriarArts If the adults in their life are blamed, it's solely for not exercising enough control over their child to prevent them from doing it. The extant possibility that it's the adults themselves or the environment they created that played a part in a tragedy is quietly dropped...
