Only like 5% are serious games though and really compete on the market. Most are just people learning and releasing something. Steam already filters that out for the most part.
To learn you must make and release, and make and release, and get initial feedback, so that makes sense if many developers are not also good marketers, an uncorrelated skill.

Every few signatures, you'll face bosses — corporate shills, influencers, or government agents sent to stop you.
summer cedar
If a new government agency+archive is formed, wherein 'expired' games are stored and maintained, with users paying a tiny membership fee ($1 each) or so, which would go towards paying server costs and other things, I'd be in favour of that.
Something like wikipedia, gutenberg, national archives, etc. etc.

Some function some not
You can emulate others

I think that'd be a more realistic solution that would be workable in the short-term, rather than expecting corporations and regulators to change rules about server obligations.

But they have no obligations
No one literally understands
They just have to stop saying we can't access stuff after the fact
We havn't asked them to keep servers going once
PLAYERS can maintain their own servers

I don't use Discord on my phone.
So, fewer steps to just get it off the internet.

Damm man, the sales were expected for 3 days more, despite of that they changed the price of the phone back
fooking online stores
proud jay
guess you just saved yourself 1000 euros?
median wraith
I mean my phone isn't working at all need one yes or yes
they bump the price from 650 to 980€ in 12h
until the next sale I bet
mild gust
That's wack
summer cedar
Sigh. Have to download a 4.8GB tensor file for the AI audio generator.
The download button in ComfyUI for it doesn't work.
Had to make an account on HuggingFace.

You can't login to huggingface with github.

I don't feel like paying 400€ for doing zooms

@median wraith Wish me luck.
I am going to generate my first 3D model with Hunyuan and I decided to go for a photorealistic image. 😄
median wraith

summer cedar
okay. the result is not bad. let me fix the image size.

not requiered but if you want to charge in 30min yeah
proud jay
well it depends on your needs I guess
I just wirelessly charge my phone on my night stand while sleeping

median wraith
ok but your car is not gonna charge at 90W either lol
that's true
proud jay
and you don't need a powerbrick in your car
if I were you I would just use a generic usb c charger that you already have
median wraith
I have a power bank usually with me
proud jay
can always buy a faster one if needed
and one not from the brand will probably be cheaper

DA FU@#!?!!!!
--- She added, “The best part? He thought we were on the leash. He called himself the sheriff and us his captives. Honestly, everyone was winning.” ---
So... the kid's an idiot. Okay....
fleet tangle
Don't see the issue, tbh.
Plenty of people use harnesses on kids with a strap to stop them running off.
summer cedar
I think a harness is different from a leash.
fleet tangle
Not really.
summer cedar
Yes. really.
fleet tangle
The difference is the name.
fleet tangle
It's not like that kid has a collar on.
summer cedar
Actually... said collar is around his wrist.
The location is the only thing different.
fleet tangle
That's not a collar then.
proud jay
and a harness is just around the middle no?
so what's the difference?
not that I either is something I would do probably
summer cedar
so what's the difference?
No one attaches their kids to leashes, or any similar instrument, here. The harness is only used to babies and such, or if you are carrying your slightly grown kid for whatever reason.
proud jay
ah you're referring to a different harness than Daekesh I believe
you're referring to like a carrying bag
this is a harness
summer cedar
Oh, no. We do not have those here.
cursive heart
That looks like cat harness
summer cedar
A dad would get laughed off the street for using something like that, here.
Basically, what Laaven said. He'd get insulted for treating his kid like a pet.
cursive heart
Better this than kids randomly sprinting on the street
summer cedar
I suppose.
There are so many sucky parents these days.
Distracted by every little thing.
Okay. Enough 3D model generating for today.
proud jay
A dad would get laughed off the street for using something like that, here.
yeah I think it's mostly an american thing
idk though
never seen one in the wild
summer cedar
I bet this dude was an NRI, back here on vacation.
I wonder if he'll ever come back after this. 😄
Bet it makes deporting the kids easy. 😄
proud jay
NRI?
fleet tangle
Better this than kids randomly sprinting on the street
Or being kidnapped.
fleet tangle
Probably.
proud jay
just that the fear for it is out of proportion
fleet tangle
But losing your kid in a busy shopping mall or something like Time Square is definite possibility.
proud jay
you could always hold their hand and pretend you love them
fleet tangle
Don't be silly! You've gotta let them run around while you play with your phone.
proud jay
should definitely film them running into the street and getting ran over for the tiktok views
summer cedar
NRI?
Sorry. Bathroom break.
NRI - Non-Resident Indian
Basically a guy who's an expatriate.
They usually go abroad for money and then, come back every couple of years for a week or two.
proud jay
wow you guys really have terms to be racist in all kinds of ways
summer cedar
It's not a colloquial term.
It's an actual passport designation.
Or visa designation... one of those.
proud jay
official racism

what still funny to me
it's a 7y old phone still have better camera than most of the new ones that are x3 the price
cursive crypt
what still funny to me
Are you byuing a phone?
median wraith
well the super camera was the Ultra version
but I didn't feel like paying 400€ extra was a deal just for the camera
but it's funny my old phone still had better wide aperture than the new one
that cost /3 times what cost the new one
cursive crypt
tbh most ppl dont need the camera so much, most phones are way good enough
median wraith
technically the best camera goes for the Vivo
but is as expensive as the Ultra version of this
celest musk
guess there wasn't enough advancement to pump the resolution of the sensors so much up in the last years
there's a reason mirror reflex (idk the real english term) cams use big sensors
median wraith
tbh that Huawei was ahead of all the other phones by that year, 2018-2019 if you ask me
by 200€
cursive crypt
Is fake mostly anyway, shoot with few super small sensors, add some filters/ai and there you go
median wraith
was at the 800€ phones levels
and as you can see still in some points at the levels of 2025 new phones that are 1000€
a phone from 2018 at 200€
the joke of my life
celest musk
why replace it tho?!
median wraith
it became a potato, the camera still awesome but
the 3GB of Ram are bananas now and they release updates just to make the go even slower
lasted 7 years for 200€ bet won't find any better deal ever
cursive crypt
Dont waste money 🧠
median wraith
they sold those phones real low, because Huawei were trying to make its way
and I did read they sold them at lost price
median wraith
Dont waste money 🧠
yeah is sad that yo have to go for those super expensive ones today to get the same
proud jay
you know you can also think about your pics without disposable camera right
median wraith
another fun fact is that phone had a card slot to up 250gb
modern ones after pay 1k you don't get memory slots
idk why they do that, well obviously to charge more
celest musk
my 7 something years old samsung even has 2GB memory 😄
and dual sim
and changable battery
median wraith
and it still works with the browser ?
you can tell they do all this on purpose, had myself x2 phones exactly the same
Opened the one stored this year and ram super smooth
celest musk
and it still works with the browser ?
yea it gets shitty with many tabs or media on a website
median wraith
after let it update came to the state of the used one
celest musk
but i primary use it as phone
median wraith
the other day in the car it started to cut the voice of the lady talking so
yeah that was the trigger to change the phone

@median wraith You can check this one - https://www.amazon.es/OnePlus-12GB-256GB-Gris-Nebula-Noir/dp/B0DRFSV73Q
It's cheaper with only a slight compromise in the camera.
And I use the the CE 3 version of this - https://www.amazon.es/ONEPLUS-Smartphone-Nord-Octa-Verde/dp/B0D8LH33XB

I was going to recommend the Lava Storm to him, but those aren't being exported from India yet.
Space Cadet was a good movie.
I think I'll buy the Agni 3 5G when I decide to finally change my OnePlus 3T. Probably next year.
