I wouldn’t say that Horizon aims to be super realistic. I mean, it’s not far away, especially if we compare it to Elden Ring. But in Horizon colors are saturated, the game looks too beautiful and vibrant to be realistic in my books. I would say Hogwarts Legacy is a better example of a too realistic game: colors are bleak, objects and textures are much closer to what we can find in real life, it does look generic as you say (at least IMO).

It gets good reviews because it’s fun to play. The game is good at its core: you have to scan machines, aim at weak spots, move a lot in the battle to avoid damage, choose right weapons, or you can override a machine and enjoy the show, there are so many options and challenges. Besides, let’s not underestimate the value of good graphics. They make the world nicer, more enjoyable, make you want to come back and play again. I understand that this game is not for everyone though.

Crazy prices for movies and software like Photoshop. I’m still subscribed to YT Music, but I have to pirate music as silly wars between labels and artists result in music being removed from streaming services from time to time. For the same reason I don’t want to buy movies online - we don’t own shit.

They even wrote “golden” at the end, implying that they had a good laugh and this meme made their day brighter, life better, grass a little greener. I didn’t read their post in a negative way thanks to that word!

Isn’t he bad for dumping his wife here?

Well, I don’t know a single community rule born in a marriage!

It’s not always about bans. Some communities have rules about what can be posted there, how posts must be formatted, and other similar stuff. In some cases, your post might be removed if you violate these rules.

What does it really change? If you’re in legal troubles, the same request will come from your hosting or internet service provider.

If only there weren’t trying to make YouTube less usable. Currently if I listen to podcasts on YT and take a break, in a few hours it can completely forget that I was watching it, it’ll be gone from my watch history. This is so frustrating with 2-3 hours long videos.

I get the sense that a lot of people here don’t use MacOS.

I wish that was true.

You see, you can’t have a conversation without bringing in MAGA, flat earthers, capitalism, and everything else. That answers you question:

See, this is the problem: what exactly do you think constitutes my mental troubles?

And you wish everyone to be like you? That’s what you call being responsible?

You’re psychotic because you’re overdosed on information. You can’t stop talking about these issue, bothering everyone around. Your internet activism is useless and pointless, you achieve nothing.

And you think that going insane in replies here is helping in any way? You live in an illusion too, but yours is even worse because you bother other people with your mental troubles.

I mean, you and I known MS could simply ask…

No.

That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.

they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

I didn’t argue with that.

No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.

Ultimately, most people stay with the default option, that’s why they have to be aggressive. Look at the amount of screenshots even in advanced PC communities with ugly useless search bar enabled, which is taking 1/3 of the taskbar. I’m not even speaking about casual users who have no idea that it can be disabled.
