  • You were the one dissing GTA and I’m sorry, but gta is so far a head of saints row that it’s not even remotely close. I’ve only ever finished the story of one gta game, because I didn’t like it in the other games, but I still spent a ton of time in all of them despite that, because the world is so immersive and there’s so much to do in there.

    The stories in saints rows feel like they just put all the ideas in the game and give no thought if it fits the game at all. I have adhd and they still always manage to overwhelm me with so much senseless crap going on at all times. You just end up zoning out and not focusing on the story at all. I’ve never managed to play any saints row for longer than a few hours because of that. Meanwhile I’ve spent many times more than that in all gta games, outside the story, just exploring and messing around. You can easily spend more time just messing around in GTA than it would take to finish a story in saints row.

    I like to play games where you can spend time doing stuff between the story missions, instead of just running from one mission to another. That really gets you immersed and makes it an unforgettable experience. I’ve played over 400 hours of gta v and every time I open the game, I still keep finding new stuff I haven’t seen previously in that game. Saints row doesn’t come even close to achieving that.

    Saying that saints row is the game gta wants to be, implies that gta wants to be some cheap brainless entertainment that you forget in a day after playing it, which isn’t true. They have ambitions beyond that and it clearly shows in their product.


  • I’ll happily pay for content if it’s something I want to watch and it’s a fair deal. Video streaming services are honestly neither of those personally, so fuck them.

    But despite most people being against YouTube premium, that’s the one exception for me. Mainly because that’s where all the content and content creators I want to watch are at. I place a lot of value in supporting the creators I watch there. You may argue that paying for their Patreons would be better, but I watch so many great channels that I honestly can’t decide which one to support like that, and with premium they all get at least something from me. Yeah google gets a cut, but such is life. Throw in YouTube music and it’s far from a bad deal from my point of view, especially with the family pricing.


  • More techy people migrating to linux would be good, but that won’t change the fact that most people don’t even know that they can change their os, let alone how to do it.

    More techy people joining would mean that we would hopefully get more fixes to issues linux has, as there would be more people bringing attention to them and maybe there would also be more people willing to help fix them.

    When those issues are fixed, we might get to step two. Honestly not even sure what that step would be, but maybe it could be that more it-departments switch over to linux, which would get more people familiar with it, which would hopefully make manufacturers more likely to ship computers with linux.

    All that is going to take a hell of a lot of time. And honestly seems unlikely to happen in the next 10, heck even 20 years. People are already so used to Microsofts shenanigans that they would have to fuck up majorly to get enough people to switch that it would matter. People are lazy, for good and bad, and as long as Windows at least mostly works fine, they’ll just be stuck using it.
