LLMs are still good for the kind of flowery language you need in HR, but not for any sort of fact-based generation.

Think of it as being creative, not logical.

It's called "planned obsolescence".

I have a quest 2 and it’s actually a FANTASTIC headset

Yes, because of John Fifth-Dimensional-Being-Pretending-to-be-a-Human Carmack.

I always choose GOG over steam personally. What cut they take from publishers isn’t consumers’ concern.

It's also 30%, so I don't understand his argument.

They are PC gaming’s landlord taking a 30% cut of every sale. You have to be smoking crack if you think that doesn’t hurt game developers.

Which is the industry standard. Who's the one who is smoking crack?

What percentage do you think they should be getting?

Yes she does sex work, but she’s also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen.

That's like saying the porn stars are actually acting. Nobody watches porn movies for the acting.

She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS.

Those are her "m'lady" fedora-wearing parasocial white knights, willing to give her all the monies.

You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.

No, at a certain point, they are going to her OnlyFans page to whack off for 5-10 minutes and then returning back to her stream. She does this to popularize herself for her real sex work, which pays real money.

Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.

That's kind of the problem, and it's a big reason why male streamers are annoyed by how female streamers present themselves on Twitch. Hell, even female streamers who just want to play games are annoyed at this shit.

Keep sex work at the sex work web sites.

People seem to forget that Elizabeth was one of the first companions in video game history where she wasn't this immediate liability that you had to protect harder than protecting yourself. It was a excellent gameplay choice to make her invincible, so you could focus on Booker's own health and the enemies, but she was also useful, tossing you items and finding rifts to open. Even her interactions made it felt like she was a proper companion and not this misogynistic damsel-in-distress stereotype.

Prey is worth playing all the way through.

Consoles themselves are a source of microtransactions. Just look at how much money you have to spend to have online play.

Guess how much it costs on Steam. Come on... guess!

I know they aren't from the US, because an American wouldn't ask such nationally-ignorant questions.
