@ItsGamerDoc I stand by the position that the problem with Kernel Anti-Cheats isn't just the mechanism of their implementation but rather the philosophy that enables it. It's ultimately an error in cost-benefit analysis because the problem is not framed with iterative fallout in mind.

@Pirat_Nation This shouldn't be a difficult concept for Google. If I own the device, I should have root access. I am the owner, not google. Same with an iPhone. Only time I can justify locking down is if it's financed and it's a condition of the financing up until the last payment.

I really love what GOG is doing but as long as their curation is used as a form of censorship I don't think I can get on board. They need to take a very unbiased approach to their catalogue and focus solely on keeping it safe from malware. https://t.co/hrtrLgUNuX
We appreciate Dave’s honesty, and he’s right about one thing: game preservation only works if people care. GOG was built to make sure the games that shaped us live forever. And with the support of our community, we’ve been doing exactly that for almost 20 years. The future of

This is one of my favourite movie endings, and I often see it misinterpreted as simple shock value. It's really so much more to me, how quickly we can be swept away in our isolated perceptions until all hope is lost, that giving up is perceptive hubris. https://t.co/ZprgWNxR1v
The Mist (2007) famously ends in a way Stephen King never wrote. His novella had a far more open conclusion, but Frank Darabont’s film goes somewhere much darker. King later said he wished he’d thought of that ending himself.

Quality of life products like Duty finder make things convenient but they also remove an element of organically finding party members to complete content with. Sure sometimes this was just map spam, but things like this contributed to a feeling of togetherness.

Fixing this means creating a system which requires players coming out of their shell in order to succeed. Removing a section of self-sufficiency and offering steep challenges that require a broad stroke of participation, instead of just isolated friend groups and FCs.

I love FFXIV but this is absolutely true, they have spent so much time pandering to people who don't actually like MMOs. Removing dependency on random players and enabling social isolation chambers. https://t.co/85pRrcNBJ4
FFXIV is easily the most antisocial MMORPG game I've played and no I do not want to walk in a venue neither RP to actually talk with people. This game level of antisocial and lack of player interaction is so bad it's crazy, only Eureka actually managed to connect players..

Something I've considered for a while now is the idea that Dead Internet theory and the flood of content showing bot farms, while rooted in some truth, is actually more about getting users to lose faith in the value of the internet and engaging socially.

In a potential future where AI dominates all fields. I think it's fair to say that people who don't need AI in order to create, will be in high demand. People will crave human-made work in a world so empty as one over-saturated by AI products.
