Great. Another way to discriminate against the neurodivergent!

I think the best way to put it is that a game at release today is more like a game in beta in the 90s.

A game in beta at the 90s would mostly work and would probably be almost thoroughly playable, but the difference is here you don't have a cartridge that you can't update. You have a piece of software that's sitting on a hard drive anyway and is fully updateable after launch. And so they're pushing the production further and further down that line, right? The enshittification comes where they push it further and further towards Alpha so they can cut their losses if the game doesn't turn out to be all that profitable or interesting to the players.

Or 100% solid-state, if you know what I mean.

Or Zoox suit riot?

Oooof.

Hospitals are scary.

Sounds like an opportunity for malicious compliance.

Auth is down? AI did it.

This reminds me of a guy that used a portion of the energy generated by his car's alternator to generate hydrogen and oxygen and feed it into the air intake, achieving over 100mpg efficiency in a stock vehicle.

He died mysteriously shortly after that.
