Except it’s a race to the bottom, MTX causes games to be designed around MTX. Instead of rewarding gameplay the design philosophy becomes rewarding purchasing. Which then leads to games designed around gambling triggers. Don’t need to make an entertaining game if you can create an addictive loop.

Which then causes people to give up on gaming and move to other past-times, which means less sales. Which means more aggressive MTX, which leads to the CEO of Microsoft bitching that gaming isn’t profitable enough because of the very problem he himself helped create.

Hehe “Gaming has become unaffordable”. Continues to buy ram and other component capacity for AI data centers, while actively enshittifying every single game with microtransactions and forced game as a service bullshit. driving customers to increasingly purchase cheaper indie titles that are actually fun.

“Whatever can we do to fix this problem? “ <lays off veteran team so the shareholders can make 5 more Pennie’s a share, causing talent to look at different industries where they aren’t laid off every 2 years, causing every game to be made by devs fresh out of college>.

“This industry isn’t profitable anymore!” <transfers AI investment losses to game division to cover stupid ass speculative investments>

Yea this is some bullshit!

And there it is, Trumps kids or Trumps cronies will buy these in no bid sales for nothing

Edit: and then they’ll be rented by Ice and used as concentration camps because fucking Nazis gonna Nazi

Conspiracy theorists and Linux people? You sonofabitch I’m in

The house is part of congress, the other half being the senate, there was ambiguity and I ran with it

The house is part of congress, the other half being the senate, there was ambiguity and I ran with it

And the senate, and the White House, and mar a lago

Well yea, he’s a fucking republican

Can we kickstarter or gofundme this?

Sooo can we sue to stop this on first amendment grounds? If I want to print a toy gun, and this law prevents that, it’s seems a clear constitutional violation.

This is 100% why they are pushing massive data centers in the US. That’s the plan here as well. 100% surveillance and AI judging someone of a crime based on the chance they might do something

So….many……jokes…must…resist

This just in! Iowa farmers are fucking stupid!

New study indicates that these farmers are even more fucking stupid that stereo-types would have you believe. Scientists are now probing if these mental issues stem from some pollutant in the soil or if it’s genetic.

When asked if this report might anger Iowa farmers, Scientists responded that they were not worried, as Iowa farmers don’t know how to read

Yea, all the hobby level ones suck horribly unless you set everything up with perfect lighting, sacrifice a goat to the elder gods, and get lucky.

But from atoms, greatness!

Hey there skipper! Looks like your meatbag fingers are getting tired! That 1% decrease In speed is coming out of your paycheck!

Dooooo eeet! Let the filament flow through you! I am your father.

Seriously though, I have 6 printers spanning Bambu, Anycubic, creality etc. 4 of them are multi-color and none of them can touch the u1 on pretty much every metric.

The U1 is fast, prints amazing, has open source firmware and minimizes filament waste by a ridiculous amount.

The Kobra 3 Max is my most used printer, but it only gets more use because it’s a large format printer and I’ve been printing some large art piece stuff(if it wasn’t for the constant filament clogs with the crappy filament cutter system it would be great).

Don’t even touch my p1S anymore unless I need to print a bunch of stuff at the same time.

(Other printers are used for more industrial prints so multicolor isn’t something I care about with them)

He’s getting a new one made of human skin.

Why? The AI would be a step up from the avg CEO. I mean, it’s a low looooow bar, but incremental progress is still progress

~imma throw in this is a joke, cause I know someone isn’t gonna take it that way~
