What a whiny little bitch you are.

I'm not even vegan. But meat eating morons signal posting that they're sick of vegans are way more common and annoying than vocal vegans.

Its such a overplayed prejudice for as long as i can remember. I came across overreaching vegans which actually annoyed me maybe five times in my life. Signalposting meat heads are more like a weekly occurance.

Random vegan at a bbq "hey, can i have small sliver of aluminum foil for my stuff and if you guys dont half intentionally wrench the meat juices over my veggies, that would be cool"
What always follows: 10-30 minute moronic rant of some meathead because eating meat is his whole personality.

In the context of console hardware designs, especially how the GPU is integrated? IDK about that tbh? Sure, planned obsolescence is to a certain extent always part of the equation with the design of consumer electronics. But i feel like there are several design goals prioritized higher than that. Like costs, footprint, hacking/piracy prevention and so on.

Yeah, red ring and yellow light of death were a thing in the seventh gen. But those felt really unintentional. That was also more about shitty solder masks or smth like that? But apart from that instance i'm personally not aware of consoles which intentionnaly brick because of how tightly integrated the components on the MB are?

Why is this upvoted so high? Its just wrong.

Sure PS3 and 360 had separate GPUs on the mainboard. But those werent called integrated graphics. Idk maybe some refresh like the superslim combined them. But thats besides the point.

But since PS4/Xbone its literally SOCs/APUs/integrated graphics.

It would be so fucking funny if B&H could play with 22 players because of some airbud like loophole in the rulebook.

I feel like it is in human nature. Its in most of us. But basically all of us encounter this only with video games. Like incremental games were the numbers most go up and it is deeply satisfying even though a lot of them have a deeply disturbing meta-subplot going on while you progress through absurd numbers. Had the same feeling with the ye old Sim City titles. At the start you might roleplay as a "good" virtual mayor but at some point you probably reach the point where you are going to plane entire neighborhoods to build high-rises with fake water-access to min-max your economy on the limited space you are given. The games are already abstract to begin with but with time the abstraction layer gets to the point where you try to game the given rules of the designer.

I'm no expert. But i feel like Zuckerberg managed to reach that point in real life. Basically unchecked by the rules of society he does whatever the fuck he wants to play a perverted meta-progression of life.
