And ASML making the lithography machines for basically everyone... You can't just "make more" ram without scaling ASML too.

EV crash, he he.

I doubt that, ASML won't suddenly flood china with lithography machines.

Yeah, even pathfinding is "AI" but people associate it only with slop these days.

Like some Dunning Kruger effect sweeping the world.

Is this loud, or just boosted loudness?

Where I live it has been illegal to up the volume for publicity, but not to cram it so full of loudness the clipping cuts your hair.

Fair enough!

I loved the cartridge era, just plug it in and switch your console on. Great for sharing too.

But I don't get it with a, I guess, multi 100GB game, that will contain anti copy stuff, need patches, be made with DLC in mind and so on.

For me it's just hipsterism or the need for some "feelgood", as it doesn't fix the problem with ownership.

I remember when the CD could be installed 3 times, and that's it. I prefer a DRM free copy BTW, on my drive, what's your thoughts about that?

I'm also a bit curious about all the downvoting 🤷🏻‍♀️ have we stopped discussing (this is not aimed at you of course)?

You actually work a shifter in the graveyard, shifting tombs n stuff /j

A bit different over here in the EU I guess, but similar too; got my apartment almost paid off, social security is guaranteed, retirement will be like 1k€/m in like 9 years...

Hopefully RAM prices will have fallen by then 😁, or maybe we old C/C++ devs will be the new COBOL guys...

Lol, best kind of true :-D

I don't get it, you can have a DRM and online activation on a CD, and a DRM free digital copy.

Also you come about a bit snarky.

How many games nowadays are available on a physical medium? Why would this be important?
