This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so.
that's a lie
People create content knowing others are going to get filthy rich off it and they'll get nothing in return. Except total loss of privacy.
Old youtube was a pretty cool place and nobody got paid
so basically back to internet 1.0, sounds good actually.
Agreed.
i like to publish content so that bots can scrape it and serve it to people without attribution i think it's good i think ill publish some more interesting stuff right away
maybe their business model. trust me. they'll find a way to monetize the zero click internet too. then it's back to square one
I believe this is why tech execs and investors are so hot on pushing AI into everything. They’ll control everyone’s digital experience and you can 100% count on being force fed ads and paid propaganda. Embrace, extend, extinguish
Yeah, so much for all those promises of disintermediation being a benefit of the web.
Yep. They have direct control over the flow of information.
Honestly, Metal Gear Solid 2 was on fucking point.
And so was 4.
I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose's dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.
And she's 100% justified. The older you get the more appearant it becomes that he's bad at writing dialogue and story. He's a tendency of using controvencies to create drama and it often falls flat, if not into eye-roll territory.
I could not stop cringing during Death Stranding. I had to fast forward the ending. I imagine Margaret Qualley being completely bewildered when they were capturing her character's twin soul melding scene.
I don't necessarily think he's bad at writing dialogue and story, I think he's mostly just bad at writing women. As I've gotten older, I went from taking Metal Gear Solid super seriously to treating it like nuclear/techno Evil Dead
Yeah, we're just less experienced and have fewer expectations when we're young. We were much more impressionable then.
Guys in general are bad at portraying women, as I understand. That's on top of being bad in general for Kojima, I think. There's a funny interview with the MGS2 English translator Agness Kaku where she comments that the writing at times is high school fanfic level.
What parts of Rose's dialogue made her laugh so much?
I could tell that it was commentary on the lonely and reserved lives that was stereotypical of gamers in the early to mid 2000s. So much of that game was meant to be directed towards the player, I wonder if it fell on deaf ears for her because she's not really the target audience.
Letting Google break the law for years with illegal anti-competitive practices is now hurting everyone else's ability to earn money.
I wonder if we have the combined will to do anything about it, or if we will wait and hope the invisible hand of the market will fix it....
if we will wait and hope the invisible hand of the market will fix it....
Have we lost faith in our handsome businessman? /s
