jesus christ man how is this at the CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

[craggy oriole]

They will just say anything man

[thick plover]

theres only 1 world where I accept AI and its if the data center was under my floor boards giving me free heated floors and I have to pay 0 bills

[rocky turtle]

that also was written by ai

[craggy oriole]

They'll just say sit like ai will cure aids in 2027 and if you call it bullshit 20 people will run out and be like DON'T SEE YOU CURING AIDS WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE THE FUTURE AND HOPE NOW

[thick plover]

physicists rolling in their graves as that sentence was spoken

[thick plover]

THEY ALSO SAID

"AI WILL CURE BALDNESS"

[craggy oriole]

Lmao

The real reason for the bubble

[thin bobcat]

Kinda funny how we went from quantum computers doing that to ai

[craggy oriole]

TRUE

[latent hazel]

and needs two of those to operate

[craggy oriole]

There really is a direct relationship there

[celest plank]

Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler colorized

[craggy oriole]

I remember the quantum computing promises

[thin bobcat]

At first they said quantum computing will change everything, from the pharma sector to the computing sector, now it's AI

[thick plover]

dude the fact that both sony and nvidia

are making a AI that plays games for you

is insane to me like

why would I buy games unless I want to play them

[craggy oriole]

Ai that gets it's dick sucked for you

[real aspen]

i mean i do believe quantum computing could change some stuff

[craggy oriole]

So you don't have tu waste time getting your dick sucked

[real aspen]

but current ai isnt even ai

[craggy oriole]

Well yeah it's going to change stuff but people promised the moon

Supertasking going to cure all disease

[real aspen]

we could very much be harvesting the moon now if world leaders got their shit together

[craggy oriole]

Harvest the moon for what

[real aspen]

though moon isnt very good for resoruces

yeah

[craggy oriole]

Space mining is annoying

[real aspen]

find metal rich asteroid
launch some tugs
bring it to earth orbit
mine
profit

[craggy oriole]

It only sounds viable if you don't know how space launches work

[real aspen]

[thick plover]

How does AMD release a new 9000 series cpu and doesnt even mention it once in the fucking show

[thin bobcat]

And most AI projects usually start out as a false promise, which either gets enough funding to do at least something or the company just fucking crashes

Look at Devin or whatever that retarded ass coding agent is called

[craggy oriole]

You've just spent 60 billion dollars so you can harvest 3 million in iron ore congrats

I am not even joking when I say this
my friend used chatgpt instead of google for everything a year ago
we aren't friends anymore

fucking ask him something abt the game were playing

he goes idk let me ask chatgpt

[real aspen]

god damn i hate the concept of money

[craggy oriole]

Seriously distrust anyone who sells space mining to you is always a scam

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I know that people like that exist

[craggy oriole]

We have so many ore mines that we don't exploit on earth because we have cheaper mines to exploit first

[thin bobcat]

They quite literally replace their own thought process with some AI prompt

[thick plover]

in the end you legit couldn't hold a conversation with him

so I just stopped talking to him completely

[craggy oriole]

It'd be cheaper to harvest rust for iron than asteroid mine it

[real aspen]

unless you need that iron in space

then it's cheaper to get it in situ

[craggy oriole]

It's not

[real aspen]

ie mining

[craggy oriole]

Cus then you're launching entire steel refineries into space

[latent hazel]

is this before or after his 100 point game?

[craggy oriole]

People neglect how much infrastructure space mining needs and how expensive it is

[real aspen]

launching a bunch of steel pipes to mercury is probably more expensive than grabbing an asteroid and processing it around the orbit of mercury

[thin bobcat]

It's funny that you actually think we'll ever be able to actually gather minerals in space with the way everything is currently going lmao

[craggy oriole]

You'd be better off refining on earth and sending it back up

[real aspen]

that's just waste of time

[craggy oriole]

It is isn't it

[thin bobcat]

I should add, gather minerals in batches, not sample sizes

[craggy oriole]

Space mining is a scam

Cool as hell in video games

But anyone selling it to you irl is scamming

[real aspen]

how do you even sell something that doesnt exit though

[craggy oriole]

Easily

[real aspen]

that's retarded

[thick plover]

Look at the AI bubble

[real aspen]

god people are retarded

[thin bobcat]

May I interest you in a small website, you may have heard of it, Kickstarter

[craggy oriole]

Lol

Also a lot of rich people want us to work in space so that we have fewer choices and if a space station unionizes they can just depressurize it and say it got hit by debris

It would honestly be really interesting to know how OpenAI is going to use all the ram wafers that were allocated to them

[thick plover]

Oh my god

I hope for the collapse of all this shit

it would be so funny

[carmine laurel]

cloud gaming

[thick plover]

just watching jensen kill himself

[craggy oriole]

There's a nonzero chance the world economy falls with the ai bubble

[thin bobcat]

I know it's a joke but I honestly think that shit would actually just generate a bunch of cricket chirping, quite literally

[real aspen]

i just hope all the it jobs will stop listing ai in duties

[thin bobcat]

I don't think that the AI bro's would be able to fit that one up there as well

[thick plover]

why would nvidia invest into openAI just to make more cloud gaming bullshit

when they already have their own service for that

[craggy oriole]

Saw this thing that was like "video game companies spending millions on ai making it impossible for people to play their games" like a bad realization but I think that's part of the plan so we all buy stadia clones for 50 dollars a month

[carmine laurel]

Im not joking tho

[craggy oriole]

You vil own nothing

[carmine laurel]

companies want to do cloud gaming

and parts getting more expensive means its easier to sell it

[thick plover]

okay shiyon

[craggy oriole]

I hate the future so much

[thick plover]

but nvidia literally restricted their cloud gaming service

everyone has 100 hours per month max now

and this was after they invested in AI

which is a backstep of what you are saying

cause it makes the product they want to sell less worth it to buy for the consumer

[carmine laurel]

"a backstep"

no dumbass

they'll just open more expensive subscription tiers

[thick plover]

its legit 100 hours max for all subscriptions right now

[craggy oriole]

You can't have a computer anymore you can't own a house you have to install an app to fuck people nobody goes to events anymore

[celest plank]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-guy-relaxing-popcorm-popcorn-gif-26404903

[craggy oriole]

Hate future

[thin bobcat]

Yes but our infrastructure is not able to handle it, imagine 1 million people streaming a desktop at even just 720p, it's not just our infrastructure but also just the allotted machines to each user that is a limiting capability

[carmine laurel]

Yes and then when everyone starts to buy in on it cause the parts pricing affects them and they have no other choice, they can go "well if you want 150h pay double"

[thin bobcat]

This would only work if each computer is the size of a raspberry pi

[carmine laurel]

theres steps to monopolizing shit

[carmine laurel]

yeah this is our biggest relief atm

[thick plover]

it was legit like that before the AI investment

[thick plover]

you get 100 hours for free
pay for unlimited hours

[craggy oriole]

The last person I hooked up with meeting conventionally was in 2019

[thick plover]

but now even the people paying just have limited hours

[thin bobcat]

Do not worry, you and I are going to be under the dirt once this actually becomes a possibility

[upbeat verge]

@craggy oriole @thin bobcat @celest plank @real aspen @obsidian sun @proven tundra

[thin bobcat]

And anything after that, who really cares, it's not your issue anymore

[thick plover]

also in the end you need above average internet for cloud gaming and a bunch of people don't have that yet

so doesnt that mean 2 things would need to get more expensive

[craggy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/future-squidward-spongebob-gif-4767609

[celest plank]

We should simply gatekeep all the good shit

[thick plover]

people just wont buy jack shit at that point

[upbeat verge]

man...

[carmine laurel]

you're acting like the whole point isn't making money from people on everything possible

[craggy oriole]

We should initiate butlerian jihad

This is getting out of hand

[carmine laurel]

Agreed

[upbeat verge]

I knew damn well doing this one would make me cry and it fucking did

[real aspen]

dont a considerable amount of people still run on dial-up speeds?

hell, ISPs dont even offer anything over like 50MB/s here

you straight up cant get faster

[thick plover]

just like with streaming services for shows

people will find a alternative

[upbeat verge]

the fact that they have the proper credits after broks funeral

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[carmine laurel]

there are literally millions of people using streaming services still

[celest plank]

Its good living in a countryside with 600mbps fiber installed

[thin bobcat]

The bigger issue is the throughput, our entire infrastructure at the moment works because not everyone is using the absolute maximum of their internet connection but if that were the case, it would probably quite literally collapse

[real aspen]

yeah max you can get here is 100 megabits/s, optical.

you can get higher but you need to be a business

[opal star]

Get fios and you get 2.5 gig. 😉

[upbeat verge]

unless youre downloading big files u dont need more than 100 btw

[thick plover]

forgot who did the research thing but I remember there was this guy who said internet can be much faster for cheap because the cables aren't being used to the maximum or some shit

[upbeat verge]

people underestimate internet speeds

[thick plover]

I dont remember cause I saw it like 5 years ago

[celest plank]

I am patient enough to wait 7 minutes for almost anything to download, I dont need more

[thick plover]

megabits or megabytes

be specific

[upbeat verge]

was referring to this

[shrewd gull]

100 megabits is low

[opal star]

Verizon and Shentel have been a blessing for me, the speeds you get for the prices are awesome.

[thick plover]

Oh no I would definitely like having more than 100 megabits

[upbeat verge]

ivan, i dont entirely disagree but 100mbit/s is like 12MB/s

[celest plank]

bro was attention seeking his sadness and is now tear screaming

[upbeat verge]

nah

it aint that

if youre agamer then yes

100 megabits is low

[real aspen]

that's slow, objectively, even mobile internet gets faster speeds here

[upbeat verge]

if youre not

100 is enough

enough for internet browsing and tv

[celest plank]

Man 30 is more than enough

[thick plover]

Give this guy 2 weeks with faster internet

and he will never want to go back to 100 megabits

[celest plank]

I used to live with 600kb/s speeds up until 2019 or so

[shrewd gull]

If we talk like that 20 is more than enough for that too

[celest plank]

Then it was 6mbps

[craggy oriole]

Sentenced 2 years good internet

[rocky turtle]

time to get some supplies

[verbal gate]

I only played AC6 on a small home arcade in my neighborhood

shit wiped my savings out

[obsidian sun]

what's a spin automat

[timid hollow]

80s germany thought arcade games and those gamble things are kinda the same so they never got ground here in germany, later when the law was changed it was already over

[craggy oriole]

i played a single ace combat game as a small being and forgot which one it was

[verbal gate]

slot machines?

[thick plover]

I KEEP GOING FROM ASCENDENT 1 TO PHANTOM 6 AND BACK MAN

THIS GAME STINKS

I HAVE A 65% WINRATE AND I KEEP DERANKING

[timid hollow]

[timid hollow]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE BORDERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[craggy oriole]

so thats where i got that from

[proven tundra]

I would take my dad's empties to the recycler and then use the deposit money to play arcade all day when I was a wee lad

[uneven sapphire]

i wanna play these type of games so much

but i suck ass at them

[obsidian sun]

my cousin used to take me there

[verbal gate]

also played MGRR in that shitty small arcade with a chicken coop only meters away

[timid hollow]

i just realized chrono, count goes on a rant in the oil field mission where he goes like "you know why war goes on? borders" and i was like oh no not again

[obsidian sun]

the arcade also had ps2s pool and the little table football thing

idk what those are called

[verbal gate]

aint that tabloid?

[proven tundra]

Foosball

[craggy oriole]

ok thats sick

[verbal gate]

tabloid is also Belkan

[obsidian sun]

we called it babyfoot

[craggy oriole]

consoles at the arcade is sick as hell

[timid hollow]

i thinnnnk it was count but it would fit the anarchist true

[obsidian sun]

yea

i saw re4 for the first time there

[timid hollow]

i was focused destroying large oil tanks for s rank tbh, that mission and bunker buster are the worst

[obsidian sun]

it's the only game that still looks exactly like i remember it

[rocky turtle]

play on ez then

[proven tundra]

My cousins and I spent all our money and a whole day to beat Golden Axe at the arcade
Still my proudest achievement

[craggy oriole]

so the meta in a small town is to hang out at church youth groups as a teen and i didnt know that

[timid hollow]

ill miss tabloid man

[craggy oriole]

thats where the real parties were

[obsidian sun]

i remember once we were the last there to beat that one guy in king of fighters

we had to go running home after

[craggy oriole]

they had so many consoles at the rec room and shit

[timid hollow]

im gonna be at a birthday later

and we gonna do a smash bros tournament

[uneven sapphire]

Xenonauts is pretty hard regardless

[verbal gate]

I miss that bastard man

[uneven sapphire]

[rocky turtle]

oh its not the mission i was thinking it was

[craggy oriole]

i was like this shit is for squares im gonna go party and it turns out the real place to ruin your life is a small town youth church group

[timid hollow]

i will show them what my cloud can do

[proven tundra]

Second only to the time I came in second at a round robin MtG tournament
I beat the first place guy in the final but they made me play him again because he hadn't lost a round

[upbeat verge]

[sturdy cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-weird-athf-laughing-aquateenhungerforce-gif-19114194

[obsidian sun]

[uneven sapphire]

[upbeat verge]

I will

I want to 100% ragnarok first

[timid hollow]

Ah man he went out like a man would like to go out

[sturdy cosmos]

same, felt one the other day and it felt weird

[timid hollow]

i hope the princess honors him

and he gets some statue or something that we see in a later game

that would be cool af :)

[thick plover]

time to vintage my story

[craggy oriole]

i always wanted to have a studio apartment

[thick plover]

[craggy oriole]

but ive always had roomates

[sturdy cosmos]

same

[proven tundra]

[craggy oriole]

it sucks i just want to vibe and be alone

[timid hollow]

maybe i will get the hd texture pack and play the ps2 ace combats again

i mean why not

ace 6 could use another run as well

ITS SO PEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

[sturdy cosmos]

im getting to do that rn and after so long of being with people it actually feels weird at first even as an introvert lol

[thick plover]

I watched a lore video like a week ago and it was awesome

[proven tundra]

[thick plover]

pit kilning it right now

[verbal gate]

Pensees at the end credits hits like a whiplash lmao

[proven tundra]

I do like ruined/doomed world trope

[sturdy cosmos]

is vintage story good?

[proven tundra]

Yes

[thick plover]

i find it fun

[proven tundra]

Vintage/10

[rocky turtle]

play xcom then

[thick plover]

its time to get to the coppah age

[sturdy cosmos]

ive heard good things about it and need to waste sum time

[craggy oriole]

its pretty good

[timid hollow]

i also just learned about the delay of ace 7 back then

[craggy oriole]

long game is lacking

you basically get steel and win

[timid hollow]

when they delayed the game so daredevil could be finished

man i lvoe this studio

[verbal gate]

Daredevil was a LAST LAST minute addition\

[proven tundra]

Once you get to steel there's nothing left to do rn

[upbeat verge]

well guess I'm not doing the remnant of asgard ggs

[timid hollow]

And it was a good one

[proven tundra]

But that's like 100 hours at least

[timid hollow]

it elevates the last mission so hard

[verbal gate]

they were like "fuck we needs something that hits hard as fuck"

[oblique belfry]

👀

[timid hollow]

and it does

[oblique belfry]

man most of em are claimed by now

[marsh cargo]

[verbal gate]

Foreshadowing is a literary device-

[timid hollow]

i love counts character arc tbh

in the end he just accepts trigger gonna save them all

[copper vapor]

never played it but iirc it's arkane's first game

[timid hollow]

and he seems pretty skilled at that poitn considering he landed in the elevator after being hit

[oblique belfry]

[timid hollow]

ah man its so peak i cant really

[timid hollow]

retcon trigger to be trained in northpoint just give it that extra touch

[verbal gate]

a man who put the world in danger just so he can play King of the Skies again is now permanently grounded in a rapidly deteriorating body

[timid hollow]

to be fair

i get him

flying is hella fun when youre on "i have no blood" level

and im just a sucker for the respect thing, the first time i downed mihaly and he gave me the message it hit soooo hard

[real aspen]

yeah it's easy to relate to

[verbal gate]

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-docks-shawty-triflin-shawty-triflin-she-gif-22455514

[timid hollow]

or when you shoot down one of his wingman and guy says "sorry king i have to bail out" and he replies with "you did well"

HMMMMM I LOVE RESPECTFUL FLIGHT LEADS

[hollow current]

tbh this game is great short but great

[verbal gate]

main reason why I went extra hard and saved both of his people's asses

[rocky turtle]

berserkers again

[verbal gate]

too bad Wit just doesnt show up in the final scene lmao

[timid hollow]

i didnt realize that until my second run that they are there

i had goosebumps af

i also like how mihalys behaviour is somehow reflected in yellow 13

he was just there for the rivalry and fun of the game as well

good retcon

even got the badge now to show what a tismer i am
