Episode 10 of Violet Evergarden is the only time I cried while watching anime.

They see their parenrs struggling and see what is possibly in store for them, and their parents may also not believe like previous generations that their kid is destined to be better off than them.

Not surprising if the parents accomplished what the generation before them thought was the key to success of getting educated and choosing the right career path. So they’ve already “succeeded” and hit the ceiling and see it wasn’t all they envisioned it to be and the job opportunities and salaries in relation to cost of living getting worse.

And the kids pick up on that.

I wouldn’t touch them on Windows either. No way would I want to log into a Windows account on Windows when they collect stuff like activity history and upload everything you do on your OS and link it all to one account. And that was even before the GDID news.

I don’t even feel comfortable logging into a Microsoft on an OS level on Windows. Which is a huge reason I never paid for Gamepass and never will. And only version of Microsoft I’d touch is ltsc which doesn’t have the Microsoft store installed.

So I’d pass on buying from the Microsoft Store or Xbox app if their games weren’t on Steam or GOG.

$2000 :(

I’ll have to pass on it. Wish meta weren’t the main ones making VR headsets. I’ve wanted to play Half Life Alyx but entry cost has been meta or pay more, and I’ve opted for passing on VR.

Hopefully clears before parts go up even more.

The screen is so nice too. I’ve love how the pixels end up looking on the DSi screen.

Yeah, its like making assumptions about cinema and TV show fans, but many don’t keep up with celebrity news or culture. Its just a source of entertainment to them they like to watch.

Games being some niche demographic that is in the loop of every discourse is a very outdated old person view now. Its actually so popular now the revenue from it is more than film and music combined.

Even something like Marvel and DC being the stereotypical interest of some nerds no longer applies once it became mainstream, and that’s where games have been at for years now.

That sounds to me like theorizing if perhaps there is a difference between people who play football and people who identity as a footballer.

What does that really mean?

Both enjoy their hobby with the only difference being if they choose to introduce themselves by the hobby, but still doesn’t really tell us much about them.

Other than I guess other than some anecdotal assumptions that are going to widely vary on peoples personal interactions and which social media they choose to interact with.

And Star Wars, House of the Dragon, Marvel, Pixar, etc.

Compared to games the people the meme is referencing is much more prevalent for the TV show and movie medium.

Yeah, I’m into gaming and still in the dark about what gamersgate is about. I was on reddit but not using other social media like twitter, so maybe that played role in not getting much exposure to it.

I don’t think average gamer kept up with gamersgate, since they just were more interested in what games came out, reviews, and discussions about games.

I went and bought a DSi and 3DS and jailbroke them, and I’ve been very happy with them playing games like Hotel Dusk and Star Fox 64. I’ll play vintage games on vintage hardware before I do cloud subscription gaming.

It does make the Steam Deck offline experience better, since Denuvo ones are the games I’ve occasionally encountered it needing to be reactivated to play.

Glad I got my Deck when I did. Got a lot of use out of it, but I couldn’t see myself getting one at the current price. What a bad timeline.

Now they are extrapolating estimated figures as annual when it hasn’t even been out a full month? What a terrible article. And jumping the gun when price of the Steam Machines could go up even more with component costs not locked in for years for Valve, but closer to months so more affected by changing part costs.
