Exactly. Countries are crying over this birth rate drop because of bullshit “BUT THE ECONOMY AND THE OLD PEOPLE AND RICH PEOPLE” excuses. Global population needs to drop, now. People will say “but we’re not overcrowded, we’re fine”, yet we’re seeing so many problems with the climate, distribution of goods and services, and so on that is directly caused by our current population levels.
Stop having kids, or at least only have one. Fix this world.
USB-C is a shitshow, period. Whoever invented that garbage needs to be fired. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Depending on just the cable I plug in (all else exactly the same, same PC, same port, same electrical plug, etc), I get fast speed (from PC) and charging (from a power outlet) on device 1 and slow speed and charging on device 2, and another cable gets me exactly the opposite. And others, slow speed and fast charging or vice versa.
What the fuck.
This is not the behavior of a fucking “standard”. Meanwhile, microUSB just fucking worked regardless of which of the tons of cables I used, all exactly the same.
USB-C needs to fucking die. Oh, but boohoo, people had to figure out which direction to plug in a microUSB cable. Cry me a fucking river, nobody cares, that’s not a real problem.
Any “game” that takes a PC over $600 (or even that) to run isn’t a good game, it’s a garbage barely interactive movie with vaguely game-like elements that unlock new parts of the story.
The more power required to run something, the more garbage it is. Sell only lowish-end PCs and make good games. Then kill off consoles like they should have years and years ago.
Also, anything over 1080/60hz (also, VR) is a scam made to suck more money out of your pocket for fucking nothing.
All about money. Instead of making good, solid, real games that don’t take up 999 wtfabytes in textures and other graphical bling with other gimmicky crap even further bloating it, we get style over substance crap that gives these rich-ass console makers more and more excuses to crank out yet another iteration of their “NEW! 0.00001% BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!” dead-ass consoles that should have died long ago when PC gaming took over – not because PC graphics are better, but because PCs can do more and do EVERYTHING better.
Gaming is in a sad state right now and people don’t even realize it. I honestly think if people would force themselves to see what old (80s and very early 90s) gaming offers and understand the difference in good games and style over substance trash, they’d understand how much of a clusterfuck modern gaming is. Sure, there’s a small handful of good titles floating around these days, but nowhere near the amount and quality of gaming in, say, the NES days where there are more high quality games on that single console than there has been on every console in the last 15 or so years.
And I know modern gamers are going to cry about this post. Too bad. Has to be said.
Cannot wait for this AI trash to become illegal and all these damn companies stealing tons of information against all known copyright laws to feed their half-assed AI garbage that outputs laughable results at best are forced to suddenly backtrack on their “LOL AI IS THE FUUUUUUTUUUUUREEEEE” bullshit.
