Probably unpopular, but I don’t care what side you’re on, if your company is basically a monarchy, you don’t deserve to exist. How is this any different than a landlord just collecting rent? You sit there and “own” the company you inhereited while hundreds of other people do your work for you and you profit off of it. And then you don’t even give anyone else a chance to run it, only your nepo babies. If your company is just a means to serve your own family and nothing else, it would be better replaced by someone else.

And it all comes full circle

(For those who don’t know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)

Somehow I doubt you’d have trouble finding something to say…

Honestly, I care a dick load more about Myanmar and enabling genocide than “but think of the children!”. That’s one of the laziest and most misued calls to action and at this point, I honestly dgaf when I hear it. It’s just propaganda at this point.

Don’t be so quick to stereotype us. You’re insulting those of use who do pay attention.

Just so you know, this is often referred to as the “Bus Factor”, aka “how many employees would need to get hit by a bus for us to suffer a catastrophic loss of knowledge/manpower?” Way too many places have a bus factor of 1, meaning if that single employee isn’t available for whatever reason, everything around them grinds to a halt. You usually want that number to be BIG as often as possible.

So you get racist af to prove your point? Fuck off twat and stop being a bitch. It’s not unreasonable to put money into your hobby. That’s what you do. You buy a game here and there, and you upgrade your hardware.

What you don’t do is bitch and moan that you can’t keep up when the effort to do so isn’t that much and at the end of the day, no one owes you AAA games. Cry harder. It’s shit like this that makes gamers look like entitled bitches. You have it vastly better than any other time and you still take most of your time to bitch and moan.

A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.

What the fuck are you on? That’s RAM that’s currently skyrocketing because of AI, you dipshit. I just bought a 12 TB HDD for $250. Memory is the cheapest it’s ever been and has always been on a downward decline like that. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Nah, it’s just not 1995 anymore. I was around for those times bro. I know what computer tech used to be. I know what it is now. I’ve seen the progression. And yes, if you only have a 500GB hard drive today, you’re the equivalent of someone trying use floppy disks.

Sucks to be told you fell behind, but guess what, you did! Just like 5 GB used to be enough, then 50, then 100… Guess what, you want all those fancy videos and cutscenes and graphics? Oh shit, they take space. Omg.

Sorry you’re trying to game in modern times with an Atari, but again, that’s a you problem. Maybe get a job and buy an SSD. Seriously, Samsung evo SSD 1tb are $90 right now. You’re telling me you can afford $40-70 games, but can’t buy a hard drive? Like seriously? You also try to play golf with old pieces of rebar and complain that it doesn’t work either?

Bunch of entitled people bitching that they’re owed something. You’re a consumer. They don’t owe you shit. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Vote with your wallets like we tried to tell you decades ago.

Cool, wanna go through the list of modern games and see their file sizes? COD is somewhere around 300GB. Anything AAA is usually 80-100gb.

If all you have is a system capable of playing indie games, don’t shit on those of use who actually put effort into our hobby. A 1tb SSD is ~$90. It’s not some crazy ask. If you can’t do that, fine. But don’t drag the rest of us down with you.

It was for HDDs, literally helping you people who refuse to advance. It was progress in the sense that it allowed you to play on your outdated system. They could have just told you to fuck off from the get go.

I shall enter Koreim to think about this incident.

It’s 2025. If all you have is a 400GB hd, that’s a you problem. Sure, that was a big number over a decade ago, but that number is nothing now. Same energy as complaining that it takes too many floppy drives to store your files. Like you think it makes it sound like a huge number when you phrase it as 30% and all it shows is you have an outdated rig and are mad that progress moved on without you.

Very cool. Definitely looks like it took a lot of work.

I wanted to there but it felt too obvious.

It’s obvious I messed up. Indeed.

My question is whether or not every piece is “attached”? I get that some are held on by being wrapped/secured by chains, but is every piece “connected”? If so then I find this impressive. If it’s just a heap glued together(which I’m not getting that vibe), less so. There’s beauty in the engineering, similar to tensgrity builds.
