Darn, I was just hoping you would. I didn’t see any of the trailers or anything but heard that was the case. Stuff about NPC AI? Did cops used to just spawn in the vicinity of the player?

Honestly I was never really curious about the game until this thread, but I don’t have the requisite foundation to know what needed to be fixed. I’m sure I’ll find out eventually

If you don’t mind, does it now match the advertising? I heard there were trailers with advanced features that were not in the actual game on release.

You’d pay more money for a something you can do free right now, just in case a hypothetical product in the future does that?

Just thinking, I bet capitalism is ready and willing to provide if there are a lot of likeminded. I expect the current TV manufacturers would make smart TVs internet-only if a dumb TV company succeeded, then undercut that company with slightly cheaper dumb TVs of their own, Amazon style. That’s a win-win for them: they get to charge more for what we have for free currently, and demand more advertisement money since the audience of the cheaper smart TV is now captive. Their profit margin would still be higher than the dumb TV company because they’re already making them, too.

I don’t see a version of events where existing manufacturers lose if this happens. This feels like a road to hell paved with good intentions.

Edit: to be clear I’m very much on your side with “fuck the tv makers and fuck advertising as a whole”. I just truly fail to see how this could be anything but free market research for the existing manufacturers and an acceleration of the enshittification (hey, an accurate use!). I’m quite open to alternative theories.

Fair, but I don’t think we should want to pay a premium for a dumb TV in fear of a hypothetical future. Perhaps worthwhile if it ever happens, but until then buying a subsidized smart TV and keeping it dumb seems fully better to me.

Can you provide an example of one that only works online? I have never heard of that.

Why not purchase one subsidized by ads then just not connect it to the internet? Seems like a win-win

That song gives me a physical revulsion every time I hear it. It's more than just disliking a song. This is something that tries to pretend it's a song, but ultimately isn't. It's unsettling. Like if a monkey skinned a person and dressed in that skin and carried on as if it were a person.

My Pal Foot Foot is a monkey wearing a human skin-suit and trying to be a human.

From an old reddit comment about this song. I don’t think it’s that bad, but maybe time has made it grow on me.

Yeah like. I want a large community and stuff but. The idea of a new Reddit preferring community is weirdly repellent.

I really don’t want to hate on their preferences but also holy shit.

Very few reasons to get a Tesla when Lucid exists. I can think of three good ones— price, software reliability, and concerns about the company’s health— but these aren’t enough to overcome the icky feeling of funding Musk and his aspirations for me.

I don’t get why anyone would stay on a site they thought reason wasn’t allowed at.

I’ve been frustrated several times at what I perceive as Lemmy bias that borders extremism, but on the whole it’s perfectly reasonable. Essentially every response to the parent comment agreed with it (I have yet to see someone disagree but perhaps I haven’t scrolled enough).

Lemmy isn’t big enough to feel you need to stay, as Reddit was when comments like this were plentiful.

Hell yeah brother, keep it up. You’ll hit other phenomenal milestones but this one will probably stay most satisfying for a long time

HDMI 2.2 will be released in the first half of this year and be widely available “to all HDMI 2.x adopters.” Your TV and external devices will need to support the specification

Will this solve eARC sync issues on existing devices that support 2.1? Like I could just get a new cable and it would work?
