I’d say you’d have a point if FromSoft didn’t just publish two major games within a year of each other (Elden Ring, Armored Core) and then a game-sized DLC on top of that.
Could Nightreign have just been another Elden Ring DLC instead? I don’t know, maybe. But it’s not priced as a full game and I’m not sure why people expect it to be one.
What are they trying to tell us? That housing used to be more affordable years ago and now everyone looking for one today has missed the boat? Because that is the reality.
Wages have not meaningfully increased for the American middle class, while unchecked inflation and scarcity has caused the cost of housing to skyrocket.
If OP worked two jobs to buy a house in 1980, they’d need to work three jobs in 1990. Or five jobs in 2010. Or nine jobs in 2020. And the market has not gotten any better since then.
Around here you wouldn’t even be getting a 3-bed house with 2-bay garage for that price, unless it’s a real fixer-upper. Maybe for $500-600k.
And the first one was only good because it did a (smart, in my opinion) calculated retread of the plot of A New Hope.
Something something “official acts”.
A lot of other AI models can say the same, though. Facebook’s is. Xitter’s is. Still wouldn’t trust those at all, or any other model that publishes no reproduceable code.
Hail Corporate
Deepseek is not open source.
Even 1000x that fine would just be a rounding error to him. What gives with the low-ball punishment?
Part of it is honestly that they believe themselves to be good, smart people, and therefore they aren’t a target for hackers. Bonus points if they’re also devout Christians and believe misfortune only comes to those who deserve it (and they certainly don’t deserve it).
I barely use computers/My password is hard to guess/I don’t reply to scam emails/My laptop or phone is too new/I have McAfee Antivirus/My nephew knows computers and would help me if I ask…these are the sorts of things that people (not even just Boomers) think somehow keeps them safe.
They think people only get hacked if they’re too poor to upgrade their tech or if they’re trying to do something illegal online. And they have blind trust in corporations and their banks. Wouldn’t surprise me if a good plurality of Americans still believe their money in the bank is kept in the form of gold buillon in a vault somewhere and is therefore safe from theft.
But…but…muh states rights!
If the title of an article contains a question, the answer is no.
How very “Landed Gentry” of you.
(I am assuming that whole debacle is how you got your username? Haha)
