True but still, there was a sort of zeitgeist that formed around actual good games. Practically every 2600 owner in the world ended up with a copy of Pitfall, and not because it was hit in the arcades before it came to home consoles. Somehow, the word got out. Whereas shitty games would sucker in a few people and then die on the vine.

And again, that's why making name brand games such blatant "eh, good enough" cash grabs was such a blatant middle finger to consumers. If you bought something sight unseen you knew you were taking your chances and you were still butthurt when it turned out to be a pile of shit but there was still the idea that *you* made the wrong choice. But if you bought Pac-Man and it sucked that was on them, not you. Because you knew the game was good and they just gave you a shitty version of it. Shovelware was a real problem and eroded consumer confidence but what really killed people's faith in the industry was bad versions of shit that had no excuse to be bad, because it indicated that even when they should get it right they couldn't be bothered.

Like, if you go see some random low budget indie film made by a guy you've never heard of and it sucks, you just shrug it off as a bad movie. But if you go to see multiple huge budget summer blockbusters from supposedly legit directors and they all suck, too, you start questioning why you even go to the movies at all.

Agreed. Ballerina got shit reviews but I enjoyed watching it. I watched it thinking "this isn't bad, I was led to believe it was way worse". Genre defining movie? Fuck no. Enjoyable action slop? Sure.

Trump has been the Republican party's Obama.
Insanely charismatic, once in a generation "outsider" candidate.
As soon as Obama wasn't on the ballot, the Democrat party lost, imploded, and finally collapsed.
Donald Trump will not be on the ballot in 2028.

What if you use ai to discuss and explore your own ideas? In the way greek philosophers would discuss their ideas with each other? I like bouncing my ideas off the ai and getting it's thoughts on them. Surely this is using ai to augment my thinking rather than replace it?

There are not that many hot cartoon characters out there, really. People have been making cartoons for a while so we have accumulated some, but for every show currently being made how many hot characters are there at any given time? Especially fur-bait ones?

Your abs are not some magic special muscle that requires different training than your other muscles. Would you do 50 bodyweight curls and expect to grow big biceps? No? Then why do 50 crunches? Would you hold a pair of dumbbells or barbell in a static position and expect to grow big biceps? No? Then why do planks?
