Remember when computers used to be FUN and MAGICAL?
>>
>>110041893
yeah... but how much of it is me being old. Maybe young people feel the same way we did back then?
>>
>>110041893
>FUN and MAGICAL
due to Lan parties with cool people
not internet parties with gay furries
>>
>>110041929

Everything is a game of it's time.
The AI games that will come out are going to reflect the trends and culture of the time.
I can say with 100% confidence that whatever the hell the future will bring us, it's not going to be anything like the past.
If you believe that video games have gotten worse over time, it's very likely it's only going to get worse, AI won't save it.
But some people might actually have faith in new games, like for example, I think GTA 6 is probably going to define to mood of gaming for at least a few years.

Lol I imagine a dude would only talk like that when he date a women he try to fuck.
Just empty words, but sound intelligent

>>110041893
They're still are. Not for plebs like us, though

Young people worship the 90s even more

Dude I had so MUCH FUN WAITING 30MIN FOR A LOADING SCREEN XD
>>
>>110041893
They still are despite all the garbage flooding our lives. I'm excited to see what LLMs will be able to automate to make my life easier
>>
>>110041912
not a chance
>>
>>110041893
Just use Linux, they still are
>>
>>110041912
part of what made it magical was that every 5 years or so felt like a complete quantum leap in how much better games looked, how much more you could do with your computer in terms of multimedia support, how much cool new stuff the internet was bringing us.

Computers and smartphones have barely improved in the last 10 years, and everything is just becoming more dystopian with companies trying to screw you over any way they can.

the difference between personal distributed computing and having a computer in your pocket with a touchscreen is having an intent router. this is how complex an intent router is https://github.com/loosestrife/matchbox202x/blob/main/cool-intent-router/index.js write yours in the language of your choice

Feels still fun and magical to me and LLM add to the magic.

rememeber all those years of demanding the ability to dynamically select and reselect the file picker based of user policy like "intent sender is firefox" or just super-I redirect this intent to this file picker? now you can do that without needing ebussy's permission

GTA6 is going to lose 95% of its playerbase in the first month when:
>people get tired of boss bitch gf and passive male lead
>they find out you can't just kill her
>they release mods so you can kill her
>they get banned for modding
>>
>>110041893
Yes, when I was kid and I didn't know how they work. Now I know, and it's a mess.

I do, and I lost that feeling entirely, at least for new tech. I still feel certain nostalgia for my childhood computers (I don't have them anymore), but I realize how irrational it is.

>>110041893
They've always been - then, now, and in between

I am almost 50, anon.

I just moved houses, had no internet for 2 weeks. I downloaded a Age of Empires 2 competitive cast (The League, T90), just been chilling and watching that + The Foundation when not busy.

Got the internet connected yesterday... It's made me realize we're all just bored and need something to pay attention to. Really doesn't matter what it is desu. Porn, vidya, youtube, books, retro vidya, hiking, fishing...

We're lowly creatures. Water, calories, something in front of the eyes.

>>110050659
Then you'll know we never had all these boxes to display but copied CDs/floppies depending how far back you'll go.
>>
>>110050701
sure, I'd say 95% of software I have ever had was pirated
>>
>>110050470
Shut up, kike. It wouldn’t surprise me if rockstar drops some of the biggest redpills on the JQ and rednecks of the decade, just like they did with RDR2.
It doesn’t matter how hard you kikes hope and pray GTA6 crashes and burns, it won’t. It will be the best selling game of the next decade at least, and it will redpill zoomers on you fucking cretinous hooknoses more than they already are.
Tick tock, moshe. Every single jew, shitskin, and southerner(I repeat myself three times here, kike) will be hanging from the trees within a year of the release.
109 and soon to be more! \o

>>110050793
Holy fucking based

>>110050793
I'm not buying it until there is a physical release. You might be fine paying for a temporary license to the software but I am not. Rockstar continually fucks with the Steam version of GTA4 and removing songs after licenses expire but my on-disc 360 version remains as intended when it released.

>>110041893
go back to facebook, boomer

>>110041893
They still are, boomer

Remember that time when the squid totally beefed it?
