And like, it’s not even a good gimmick. It’s a serious labour issue because the primary intent behind a lot of AI has always been to just phase out workers.

I’m all for ending work through technological advancement and universal income, but this definitely wasn’t going to get us that, so…

Well, why would I support something that mostly just threatens people’s livelihoods and gives even more power to the 0.1%?

Not an American, but I realised it when I had to talk one of my online friends out of suicide because he almost worked himself to death (ten or more hour shifts six days a week for over a month) and couldn’t afford rent.

Holy shit!!!

Corporate lust for money, my dude

Yeah, they had that one coming. Stuff in there is just straight up insanely overpriced

It’s almost as if having one of the worst reputations of any video game ever is damaging to your long-term health…

Still, I can’t really roast them. League of Legends genuinely did clean up their act when it comes to toxicity, and as hard as I tried to kick the habit, I still find myself going back and playing the occasional match of Heroes of the Storm, which is owned by a much scummier company that deserves to crash and burn.

And really, the MOBA genre isn’t as dominant as it once was in general either. It’s been a gradual decline, there’s been no big disaster that crashes everything. Just there are other genres in style right now. All things considered, I think LoL is doing totally fine given the circumstances. Nothing to worry about, so don’t be disheartened if it’s a game you enjoy.

Can you even imagine being this based?

I need to check this game out

Makes sense to me, I think even someone borderline tech illiterate the way I am could create a perfectly good way to remotely disable a machine and prevent anyone studying it to reverse engineer it, I call it ‘Renotely detonated bucket of thermite’

Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?
