Putin only exists because Russians resent the west after having been sidelined despite foregoing communism (which Gorbachev did in the hope that Russia would be able to join, and benefit from trade with, the liberal bloc)

If you think they'll resent Putin and not the west for every minor (and some major) annoyance brought by sanctions, you are ignoring decades of policies done in the same spirit and resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect. All this does is demonstrate to the Russians that the west is indeed their enemy, and thereby reinforce Putin and the likes of him.

All sanctions do is target innocents and reinforce whatever government the US is supposedly targeting. See literally every single country sanctioned by the US.

Sure, but what they're saying is that even a little bit of friction will make some people give up, and that kills the virality of things like social media

It's the original English letter for th which was more or less deleted from the alphabet when imported printing press types lacked said letter.

Before it got universally replaced by th some printers used y like in "ye olde" which is really pronounced "the old"

Everyone has a VPN or can use proxies extremely easily nowadays, especially in Russia. Literally all this does is creating a precedent of a parts manufacturer (""manufacturer"" in the case of nvidia), and y'all are cheering because "fuck russians".

All this does is creating this bad precedent while accomplishing exactly nothing

I hope they don't go with unreal, the level of broken-ness of every game on UE5 really worries me

Hidenburg research's business model is to produce hit pieces to then short sell the company they attack. They have monetary incentives to attack companies, I don't know if they're trustworthy.

It's not UI backsliding. It's Microsoft being incompetent. I have no idea how they're still in business, and astounded at their valuation. It seems like everything they manage to push out is just barely functioning

Maybe why I'm not interested, I have no back catalog of games to play on PS, coming from PC gaming

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 23 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Is any game worth getting a ps5, let alone a premium version? The catalog is so anemic, it's mostly ps4 games, the only game that would interest me would be TLOU1 remake... but I got it on PC anyway
