Hasn't Netflix been "in gaming" a while? You can access a lot of games on mobile from them. I opened my Netflix Android app and just from the suggested I can play Red Dead Redemption, Story Teller, Dead Cells, Spirit Fairer, Shredder's Revenge, Street Fighter, and bunch of Choose your own Adventure type stuff from their own IPs. They've been angling in to game publishing for a while.

I love this tradition. I remember counting the chairs between Max and Lewis every year, and look at them now 🥹
You know what the crazy thing is? My mother is fully capable of recognizing the AI videos (uncannily so, actually, she always passes those "AI or Real" tests with flying colours compared to the rest of us). She just doesn't care.
Ok, let me clarify then: I'm black. It comes from American black culture.
Anyone who watches a Kai Cenat stream would immediately clock it just by his and his friend's speech patterns. This is why reading a Wikipedia line isn't really enough to understand the breadth of culture. See: everyone in this thread who is making fun of Gen Z/ Gen Aloha/"young people" slang while simultaneously not understanding it actually developed a lot from black and gay culture of Millennials and Gen X globally, and has become mainstream due to these communities becoming more prominent in the media landscape.
Sorry to write a mini-sociological essay, but I don't care for the "it's not that deep" aspect of Lemmy when it comes to non-STEM popular culture stuff. It's pretty deep (and interesting) actually.
I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it's even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there's a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.
That's why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.
But then again, this is Lemmy...it might have been literal...
"Washed" is from sports, though. "X athlete is washed" has existed long before being used in Twitch chat/gaming/esports spaces.
Basically what I was trying to (poorly) convey is you give Twitch chat too much credit, they come up with nothing original in the first place lol
"You participate in society yet you criticize it ☝️🤓" comment.
Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?
Yes, KaiCenat, the most popular African American youtuber. Where do you think he learned it from?
Wikipedia even has a picture of him bro 😭
Huh?
Rizz isn't from Twitch chat, it's AAVE co-opted and then overused incorrectly to the point of making it uncool by suburban teens (like most slang).

Man, and here I was hoping those fuckers would actually leave so we could have some vacancies in Manhattan.
I need these influencers to leave Queens please 🙏
Yeah, this I believe. I saw the news that they sold one of their studios back to the original owners while still publishing the game they were developing. I must have missed the news about them downsizing their in-house stuff.
I looked up what studios they would be acquiring under the WB merger and uh...outside of the new Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy, and the DC games...I don't really know if they're going to make a big dent in the gaming sphere immediately. A lot of these already look pretty mismanaged, maybe it could get worse, but it could also get better.
But if we're worried about moving towards even more subscription-based cloud gaming...yeah...looking at the state of gaming and hardware right now, I can't argue with you there.
