I don't know Elon Musk managed to kill 9 million children without a gun so...

I don't think this is about creating useful or profitable content this is more about training their AIs and showing them off to investors.

Remember the problem AI is designed to solve is wages. Paying wages.

That said we all laughed at horse armor and they just kept cramming it down people's throats until kids grew up who were used to that crap. And yeah you might not be someone who would buy horse armor but it does fuck up the industry and the quality of your hobby is substantially lower as a result.

It probably will be the same with AI slop. You and I will hate it because we grew up in a world without it but to kids who just get that stuff blasted into their eyeballs it'll be normal and they won't have any defenses against it. It will take over the industry through the kids and we will lose access to the stuff we want.

Well given you compared it to an online multiplayer only game, and then a second game that is also multiplayer, if I seem confused it's only because I am replying to someone writing confusing shit.

But hey let's go with your updated definition, let me change my post:

GTA VI is OFFLINE ONLY you idiot. They are launching a single player campaign based game *which requires no continuous online connection to play*.

Which part? The bit where he incorrectly claimed it's an online game instead of the offline single player game without any multiplayer component? The bit where he incorrectly claimed that streaming is pay per use instead of pay per time? The bit where he claimed there's no interest in consoles, despite the game very much coming out on xbox consoles?

Come on man. You're better than this. You can post stupid shit without simping for other stupid people.

At 80W TDP for a fully loaded RTX Spark (which this may not be, they didn't specify which Spark they are using) you're not going to be heating much more than your lap.

Not sure if you know what this is, but an RTX Spark is at the high end of a low power ARM core. It has a TDP not dissimilar than any other workstation laptop crossover CPU ranging from 45W to 80W depending on which Spark this includes.

Worth nothing literally every laptop CPU is thermally limited. Heck these days most desktop CPUs are as well. 2.5x the thermal performance likely means well above 2.5x performance boost over the previous gen (which wasn't an efficient ARM chip).

WTF is a Joule anyway?

A unit of torque, obviously.

I've been on planes with hundreds of people per flight. Their experience is the same as mine. No one keeled over. This ain't just me homie. And I'm not going to provide citations with everyone I ever flew with - that's thousands of people. I only relate that people don't die because they changed timezones. If this was a regular occurrence across many people, people would notice.

That you think that my relating a personal experience over many years is flawed reasoning only shows you didn't have anything useful to say, but that didn't stop you from saying something. Good work, coward.

Must be Drinkypoo derangement syndrome. That was a misread on my part, mea maxima culpa's all around But.....

Validate your claim that DST kills people. Shifting a timezone should have exactly the same effect. One hour plus or minus, should be showing dead people as a direct cause. And I don't take back that you are solipsistic.

Shifting one timezone should have exactly the same effect. Death. Explain why it does not.

So when we are on permanent DST, I have to go to work late in December? Or at 4 in the morning during the summer? And across time zones and latitudes, making corrections for everyone?

Sorry, but perhaps in prehistoric times up to the early 1700's your "natural" system might work. It definitely does not in an interconnected world. A whole lot of us have to know what time people show up for work in cities and countries we communicate with. Example: One place I would call was on the west coast. Their workday was 7:30 to 4:30. They were 3 hours behind my time. So if I need to call them at my time, I have to wait until 10:30 Eastern Time. If I have to call Mumbai Adding an element of randomness is just going to make the juggling worse

I suspect this is a non story. What's the alternative to Microsoft? PSN doesn't have a streaming system. NVIDIA doesn't target consoles. Rockstar doesn't want the game on PC at launch (and Xbox will refuse to stream it to PC unlike what TFS has said, from the man himself: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fballmatthew%2Fstat...).

This is a complete non-story. It's probably targeted at dumb investors and not any gamer.

There is an exclusivity deal, it just is limited to streaming only. You will still get this on consoles, but if you want to stream it it looks like xbox cloud gaming is the only source, and nothing has denied that at all. Even the clarification basically just clarified that Xbox Cloud gaming won't stream this to the PC. Presumably this was part of Rockstar's deal since they are delaying the PC launch for ... reasons (waah waah piracy waah).

It makes zero sense for NVIDIA to sign such a deal since NVIDIA doesn't have a streaming presence on the consoles. Basically this entire thing is a non story dressed up to look like a story. It affects only a few people with old too slow xboxes who also happen to stream games.

I'm not sure what you think one has to do with the other? The limit still applies. The IGN clarification said it won't be available to PC via streaming, that is all. It still looks like Streaming wise it's an xbox exclusive, and you have your 15hour limit to contend with.

Streaming wise. At no point has anyone said this would be exclusive to streaming. It just means you won't find it on GeForce Now.

There are people who pass out in silence, people who laugh and entertain, and people who get kicked out of the bar for being a fucking twat. We all know which one the OP is.

GTA VI is OFFLINE ONLY you idiot. They literally are launching a single player campaign based game.

Why is it funny to you? Gaming is entertainment, and entertainment is fleeting. Most games are not replayed, and subscribing to a streaming service (other than MS's which has ridiculous limits) makes perfect sense for people who are looking to be entertained by something non-descript.

In what way does having a streaming service mean they abandoned their console market? You realise their streaming services is accessible from consoles right? Meaning you can actually play GTA VI on a console it wasn't designed for.

It's literally just one option out of all the normal ones. Don't want to stream it, buy the damn thing. You have that option.

It's amazing how people make up an alternate reality in their head and then get upset at it. Not sure if you're doing it out of ignorance or if you get off on ragebaiting yourself.
