R.I.P

Enshittification ensues. We should have some legislation that forbids such sales to US- or CN-Companies. They may invest, but they may never hold majority shares. Shit's ruining us from the inside out.

Menschen, die nicht mehr die Schule besuchen und die keiner Kinder bzw. Jugendliche mehr sind, sind zu den wildesten Doppelstandards bereit.

Kann die Scheiße nicht mehr hören.

Guess US-companies don't really care what's legal and what's not. They don't fear the repercussions of doing illegal shit. They just pay their fine - or they don't and nothing changes.

Wieder nix gereiht gekriegt und schwupps - werden die immer selben, durchsichtigen und völlig idiotischen Schreckgespenster aus dem Hut gezaubert. Leider auch schwupps - fallen die immer selben Trottel drauf rein und finden das dann auch noch gut.

Interstuhl, Löffler, Sedus wurden schon genannt - aus lokalpatriotischen Überlegungen werfe ich noch Viasit mit in den Raum. Habe einen Stuhl von denen seit 2019 und er sitzt sich wie am ersten Tag. War nicht mal das Top-Modell. Ergonomisch trotzdem prima. Haben wir auch (zumindest teilweise...) auf der Arbeit, wo sehr viele Ärsche darauf Platz nehmen. Keine Beschwerden.

Heutzutage kannst du dich ja damit abheben, dass du lineares Fernsehen schaust...

I guess they're there for deterrence, not for actual use. That's what those nukes in germany are for.

So if they'd make a submarine form factor that can be mounted to the F35As hardpoints...

It's the same with my XBox Series S. It's just sitting there, collecting dust. Just as my steam library. My switch though has seen some rise in usage during the past few months as my kids are getting old enough to play video games and I prefer them to do this instead of binging Cocomelon...

epic sound track

That's the one thing where I would raise an objection. An epic soundtrack is that one thing that adds to the experience more than fancy graphics or overly complicated game mechanics. Epic doesn't necessarily mean expensive. Monkey Island had phantastic soundtracks, as well as other older games like The Settlers 2, early Anno games etc. They just set a mood. They supported their narratives. That was good stuff - and I guess you might now be able to extrapolate how old I am.

Half a decade for a subpar product that's barely out of beta.

Back in the day we've got subpar products barely out of beta that we had to patch from magazine cds more often. Oh - and they were more fun because developers had to make something out of nothing. I feel today, where everything is possible as the engine used delivers a toolset for anything, games easily are so overly stuffed with "mechanics" that they just feel like work. I don't like that.

Das ist schon bemerkenswert
