There’s not way you can say that game wasn’t ever popular. Maybe it’s never been the literal most popular, but it’s definitely had a life as a majorly popular game. Large streaming views, tons of players, etc. I have no idea how it’s doing now, but it definitely had a number of years of major popularity.

LoL isn’t popular in NA anymore?

I should have bought a new tv like 5 years ago.

I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…

but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.

And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.

Bruh nintendo seems starkly opposed to getting even ok at modern networking.

Not the same guy, but I have some LED bulbs I’ve never replaced. I have some where I need to replace them every couple years or so. It’s… weird. I think it’s gotta be certain types of bulbs and/or the wiring in those parts of my house that just die faster.

There was never non-manufactured hype for it. I saw people who were paid to be excited about it be excited about it, and literally nobody else cared. Nobody else even knew what the hype was event supposed to be for.

I remember doing similar. I would intentionally kill my browser/computer without gracefully shutting down the browser. Literally everything else I would go and shut down normally, browser needed to be crashed.
