The TF2 economy is so insane, whenever I get a glimpse at it it’s like a whole other world. One that I want to stay far, FAR away from.

They mean specifically “major” updates, ever since 2017 after Jungle Inferno it’s just been cosmetic additions, bugfixes, and the yearly holiday events which are typically pretty big but not big enough to be considered major.

As of last year, I’ve used all the bestselling consoles on here. They’re all pretty good.

They’re never gonna put that stuff into Java, that’s the fully Mojang version of the game. And even then it’ll be as easy as ever to mod anything they try adding out.

Well there’s a lot more companies that produce flip phones than two and I’ve heard good things about a couple brands

I mean no shit, the food didn’t REALLY end up in Australia. Burger King would’ve had to SEVERELY mess up for it to end up 9,496 miles away from my house.

One time I ordered lunch fron Doordash and it never came, I checked the food tracker and it was somehow in AUSTRALIA.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Back when I started getting more serious about internet privacy I had the idea of switching to a de-Googled phone but when I found out that’d be expensive as hell I had a second idea to get a flip phone and spread out what I use it for across devices. My laptop for services like YouTube and streaming, MP3 player for music, a digital camera for my camera, etc. Also expensive but the individual devices are cheaper so I can more easily slowly chip away at it, first thing I’m getting is an MP3 player because I got my Dad to buy me one for Christmas.

If they just shoved ChatGPT or some other big LLM into it, probably yeah. For actual good results you’d need to make your own LLM trained specifically to do dialog and not much else. Even then it’d be SLOW AS HELL even with powerful PCs.

It’s know for two things: letting tech obsessed people with no skill LARP as artists (poorly, due to the lack of actual soul) and tricking old people

The only somewhat understandable thing I can think of GenAI could have a use for in games is shoving an LLM into one to get more dynamic-ish dialogue. Everything else just sounds terrible on paper and IS terrible when executed. I saw a trailer for a fully AI-generated game and it looked like the most shovelware garbage ever.

The government doing something stupid? I could’ve never guessed???

There’s so much bullshit with smartphones now that make them a pain to use, I’m honestly considering at this point to just get a flipphone and buy separate devices for the things it can do. Get a camera, MP3 player, and portable DVD player and live life the way people did 20 years ago.
