Neat, so the scene in the movie was pretty close to reality then!

I don't know if that's a real quote from Gates, but I do know it was in Pirates of Silicon Valley.

I saw the film without seeing the YouTube stuff and didn't feel like I missed out on anything. The film is self contained (and excellent).

As a user of the internet I can only imagine this worsening my experience by allowing even more slop to permeate the network's every orifice. Also, when an agent sets up a domain, …

Matthew 6:34 is probably my favorite verse and one I come back to often in my anxiety.

So, you say that AI has made you "ridiculously faster", but then admit you've always been terrible at estimating how long something would take?

Yeah. Thanks for trying to keep me positive. Hopefully this all calms down eventually. But it's hard not to feel like shit in this situation.

It’s frustrating that it’s been one thing after the other, seemingly aimed directly at the thing I enjoy most.

Hopefully this blows over in a few years and you’re right and I’m just catastrophizing.

I can afford it. Other people cannot, and the hobby is driven by a market existing for games. If newer people don’t enter the hobby as others die out, it fades away.

I hate this. PC gaming is my hobby, the only one that’s lasted my whole life. It’s always been there. It’s how I met my wife. It’s how I relax after a long day. It’s how I’ve parti…

Can't wait to see this at the Game Awards in a week or so.
