Uber wasn’t making profit anyway, despite all the VCs money behind it.
I guess they have reasons not to pay drivers properly. Give Uber a free pass for it too

What’s stopping AI companies from paying royalties to artists they ripped off?
Also, lol at accounts created within few hours just to reply in this thread.
The moment their works are the one that got stolen by big companies and driven out of business, watch their tune change.
Edit: I remember when Reddit did that shitshow, and all the sudden a lot of sock / bot accounts appeared. I wasn’t expecting it to happen here, but I guess election cycle is near.
I’ve just finished replaying the base FF7 Remake, in preparation of FF7 Rebirth. Also I haven’t touched INTERmission yet.
Some of the games that I’m excited to play in 2024: FF7 Rebirth, Metaphor ReFantazio, Eiyuuden Chronicles, and maybe Dragon’s Dogma 2.
I remember Mirai botnet that scanned for default password on IoT cameras.
They could definitely become a weak link.
I think Google support team might have started to see the pattern, getting feedback that they are starting to take action against them.
I have the 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, it’s great.
However the thumbstick’s rubber eventually crumbled off after a year or so, so I 3D printed these replacements (it’s for SF30, but fits Pro 2), then I got cheap Switch thumbsticks rubber pad to put on top of them. IIRC, you might be able to request thumbstick replacement from them. The 3D printed treplacement + cheap caps feels kinda better than the original.
I finished (again) God of War 2018. I thought it was going to sour on me, just like how my 2nd playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn did (and subsequently my 1st playthrough of Forbidden West). But no, it’s still a very good game. Combat is simple but still satisfying, side quests aren’t excessive like Forbidden West, story is still good but less intense than TLoU. My only complaint is that the fast travel is just way too slow. I’m looking forward to Ragnarök now.
My top is probably FF16, I have soft spot for this type of siblings story, also loving the Asura’s Wrath section.
No, there’s a mac version of retroarch. OpenEmu is a bit better in term of user interface.
And RetroArch has a history of harassing emulator devs, e.g. Stenzek who made Duckstation, were harassed by them until Stenzek went hiatus. IIRC, they might have harassed Near (developer of Snes9x), Near eventually killed themself.
I try to minimize the use of RetroArch
I played thru Octopath Traveler, and the story doesn’t tie everyone together until that secret last boss. Nothing much interesting in the writing until that part, I guess.
I read that Octopath Traveler 2 rectified that, and it’s one of the best JRPG of this year. I bought that on sale, but haven’t touched it yet.
I dropped Tunic halfway thru, the combat just doesn’t gel with me.
I finished the first Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney from the remake trilogy
I’ve also finished Curse of the Monkey Island
I’m currently replaying God of War (2008)
Oh no, if you’re starting Ultima 7, then you might want to consider running it using Exult
Exult has some QoL additions, fixes, mods that should make your playthrough more enjoyable
Guile = Gooey Leh
I kept mispronouncing Red13 as Red7, but on hindsight, his real name is Nanaki, so I was close.
Oh wow, I’ve never even heard of Mobius FF. That song bops
Games wise, very likely. There are way too many 2023 games that I bought (that’s on sale) that I haven’t even touched yet, and still more heavy hitters that I’m waiting for a bigger discount (e.g. Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Yakuza Gaiden, Spider-Man 2, etc). It’s not only newer IPs, there are many games based on older IPs that are well received, e.g. Dead Space, FF16, RE4, Armored Core 6, etc.
Game devs wise, it’s probably one of the worse. There’a already more than 9000 layoffs, with many studios shuttered. Half of them probably came from Embracer Group. We are probably gonna be seeing a rapidly shrinking number of mid-size games within the next 5 years.
I actually enjoy the Spider-Man games a lot, I am only surprised that Venom is coming first than Wolverine.
However, I doubt that we will see Sunset Overdrive in the near future, the game only made $567 in profit
I was initially expecting to see Wolverine released end of next year / early 2025, was not expecting it to be around end of 2026. I assume it’s easier to create Venom’s game based on the existing Spidey’s engine.
I wonder what exclusive game would Sony announce for next year’s holiday? Maybe Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima 2?
I’ve finished Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising, as a preparation for Eiyuden Hundred Heroes.
I’m halfway thru Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Also, I’m back with my BS, where I play Resident Evil Zero with a guide and skipping all the cutscenes, so that I can get the infinite rocket launcher, before replaying the entire game for the story.
Marc Andreessen is too low there.
Musk is a clown that says vile and stupid thing. An useful idiot for others Silicon Valley VCs.
Andreessen and Thiel (and too some small extent Luckey) are in the background trying to push for far right libertarian dystopia.
Andreessen is the guy who kept pushing for web 3.0, trying to dominate it before it becomes big, so that he can monopolize / become a new digital libertarian govt, but of course it got hijacked by scammers, and states like Russia or North Korea, but he doesn’t give a flying fuck.
Thiel of course is far right financier. There’s a reason why they try to hide in the background.
I do, especially when someone’s profiting from it, while my license is strictly for non commercial.
