Illusion of choice

What exactly is gooning in this context?

I thought it was edging without climaxing all day. But then how would you do that multiple times in a day?

Can someone more well versed in modern youth's lingo please clarify?

Compulsion Games pulls off management buyout and separates from Xbox

Reply in thread

Now I'm actually curious about how things would work in your perfect world.

The current gaming industry in the late stages, so it might be more productive to discuss the mid 2000s.

The vast majority of platform exclusives were made by studios/publishers owned by the platform. Exclusives were in turn a very big part of the value proposition of consoles, causing people to buy them in the first place.

If that had been outlawed by then, who would have produced the iconic games of each platform?

Microsoft Needs Windows Lite, No telemetry, no spying, no ads, no AI, no .NET, to retain gamers and developers

Hah! They don't care about "builders" or users. They care about business. Specifically large enterprises the have too many people to care about a single employee's individual productivity.

Microsoft caters mostly to them and is quite good at that.

But if you're an end user, gamer, or individual consumer, just move to Linux already. They don't care about you.

I hate to break it to you, but we're never getting rid of AI.

Like how we will forever have trace amounts of cesium and PFAS/microplastics in our blood, AI generated content is going to be around in most things.

The question is will you also use it for good, or just leave it for the bad actors only?
