I think 'premium' in this case is synonymous with 'not free to play'.

A (rumored) $40 live service battle-royale.. outlook bad for this game.

Yeah, okay. Without the context I see how you arrived to internet drama. I wasn't connecting the dots properly.

Nobody is mad about being banned from Club Penguin, it's expected- because they would insta-ban you based off a rudimentary chat filter- and these were popular memes for awhile.

Uh, okay. I didn't realize the existence of Club Penguin was 'internet drama'. That's the part that confused me lol.

ngl I stopped listening to A7X shortly after Nightmare, seemed like after Hail To The King they dropped off the face of the earth for me. Might have to get back into them.

'Retro' in a gaming sense is often used interchangeably with 'Vintage', as far as I can tell.

The subreddit r/Retrogaming even has this gem on their sidebar:

Retro Gaming: Reddit's home of vintage gaming

...what internet drama are you talking about rn?

.. yeah, I'm aware AI isn't a person. I'm not sure why that's a question? Maybe I phrased things badly, but I'm not- nor have I ever- been really mad about AI usage. It's mostly just disappointment.

It's just a technology. I largely dislike the way it's being used, partly because I feel like it has a lot of potential.

Why? AI doing one good thing doesn't erase the dozens of bad ways it's utilized.

I'm interested to see AI used on a larger scale in really specific ways, but the industry seems more interested in using it to take giant shortcuts and replace staff. That is going to piss people off, and it's going to really piss people off when it also delivers a shit product.

I'm fine with DLSS, because I want to see AI enhance games. I want it to make them better. So far, all I can see is that it's making them worse with one single upside that I can just.. toggle off on my end if I don't like it.

Fink is the founder and CEO of BlackRock which means it’s assets are his assets.

It's a publicly traded company, so no. It's assets are not his assets.

Is everyone just blatantly lying then? Because according to a google search, Elon Musk is worth 300+B, and Larry Fink is worth.. 1.2B.

Are you taking the 10 Trillion number from

Founded in 1988, initially as an enterprise risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US$11.5 trillion in assets under management as of 2024.

Because "assets under management" and "money that Larry Fink personally has" aren't the same thing.

Or is this some conspiracy theory shit?

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Who's the guy on the left? I'm sure he's awful just via context clues, just not sure why.

Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.

What do you use as your primary platform? If you don't mind my asking.

I'm tryna diversify a bit more.

Also some genres lend themselves better to one or the other. I prefer controller for platformers and fighters, but prefer TB + KB for almost everything else

Yeah, I agree. I use a controller for platformers, fighting games and racing games. Also sometimes action RPGs- I've played Dark Souls with both input methods.

My only absolutely hard line is using a controller for any kind of shooter. I just can't, and trying is a very frustrating experience.

There are a lot of different preferred styles, as an example: eSports tends to higher DPI (dots per ich) since every millisecond counts but the precision falls behind which can be trained.

This is accurate, yeah. Sometimes pros use 400 DPI, some use 1000 DPI. There's probably at least a few madlads using 2000+ dpi or some shit.

Personally, I use 1600. I don't have a particular reason for that- I might actually try turning it down- it's just what feels comfortable.

I assumed. I know it's similar where I live, but for all I know Montana has some strangely restrictive finders keepers law where if you drop your wallet and someone else finds it you can only legally reclaim it via a duel to the death.

Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

This is a funny mental image.

"Breaking news: Man gets normal sized plate at buffet. More at 11."

Front of a newspaper in giant bold font:

"MAN TAKES NORMAL ROUTE HOME FROM WORK"

Where do you live? That matters, unless you're just asking from an ethics perspective. I'm not asking you to dox yourself, country/state is plenty.

Assuming you're Canadian(based off your instance being lemmy.ca) technically speaking you should report in to the police, and they'll hold it for 6 months. After that if someone hasn't claimed it you're free to claim it yourself. At least in Vancouver. Maybe the laws are different in other parts of Canada. Your local police probably have a non-emergency number for pretty much exactly this purpose if you wanna double check.

Realistically, it's not even $200. Probably keep it for a week or two and then tell the kid the cops couldn't find the original owner.
