so in other words, 500m will be spent on whitewashing google’s reputation.

messages moderator about it, banned from subreddit for no reason given. Or at least that is how i imagine how it would go

Was it done in such way it could just as easy to fool multiple scanners at the same time? As in scanning eye, finger and palm at the same time. Though I wonder how expensive/difficult/error prone it would be to implement something like that.

you could use some other service as your main channel and only use those to direct people to that other channel. For example when you do some bigger thing. Deny them the content while taking advantage of bigger visibility.

The music of this game and the previous one is really good

i have same problem with ghost touch, though it seems it happens only under certain kind of unknown conditions. I think it might have something to do with moisture in air and/or some other unknown thing.

well, the degree of that is also up to other people and how much effort they want to go through

There must still be some way to defend oneself against oppressive authorities in such way it doesn’t cause problems to yourself. Though on second thought it might not be good idea to post detailed ideas on public spaces where those hypothetical authorities can also read them. Its like we are living in beginning of boring cyberpunk dystopia.

What if we “comply” and give them their damn records if they come demanding them.

Gigabytes of data that is just red herrings and stuff that doesn’t lead anywhere but still has to be checked. And in formatted in such way it has to be done manually and can’t be automated without even bigger effort and cost. If you give it to ai it will just start spouting nonesense or preferrably accusing obviously wrong people. It is likely not possible to make something like that, but it would be great if it was.

well, i guess i can stop feeling like i’m using wrong word for them then

ai is just too nifty word even if its gross misuse of the term. large language model doesnt roll of the tongue as easily.

smaller studios dont have money or interest to pay game news companies to write favourable articles about them. So clearly the industry must be dead if bigger ones are going down

if its well designed to utilize openworld concept. For example, kenshi is very well designed for openworld. Kingdomcome games are well designed for it too.

Being lazy and not feeling like doing every single thing in openworld game is good thing because it will make replaying it sometime later nicer by leaving content untouched. But if the content is just finding one more collectible then its just awful gamedesign.

I dont necessarily seek out openworld games, just good games that fall into the slots i like. Unfortunately things have been very barren regarding that to the point i’m starting to lose interest in games.

that is also good way to do it, i used to do that too until i noticed the recommendations were actually worth my time. I dont think there is too much malicious meddling with them either since I have had videos recommended i dont think any corporate executive would even want me to see but still i try to be wary.

you need to clean your watch history. Remove any video you dont want affecting the recommendations and if you accidentally watch some video like that then you need to remove it from history. If you dont have history on then I have no clue how it recommends stuff though. I dont think it bases it on every single thing on the history or maybe it weights recent videos more heavily.

I recently had it recommend way too much certain kinds of videos after i watched a bunch of them and it reverted to what it recommended earlier when i removed most of the ones i watched earlier.

i read it first as “Creator’s flavoured children”

what about z-library?

more likely they were less of a hijacked and more of a waited for enough people to use them and then proceed to the next stage of the plan.

that is my point

if we accept 70€ then they increase the price to 80€. when we accept that they increase it to 90€ and so on. Though i guess this becomes kind of moot point when high price on game has started to correlate with lower quality on every aspect except graphics.
