Same here. Absolutely not getting another video game system. Probably ever. I didn’t have kids so no future gamer coming from me.
The gaming community could all join forces to shut Playstation down if we wanted to. One long-lasting and legitimate boycott of PS online and PS6 doesn’t happen.
It really is an us vs them thing now. There’s zero respect given to the consumer. They believe all people are their addicts who will always push the button to receive their food pellet.
My PS5 hasn’t been turned on for a year. Others will catch on. Reading books has taken over because they’ve become a better experience than turning on a corporate product.
We just need to be honest with ourselves and say no more to corporate products. The video games, the crappy food, bad drive thru coffee, electronics that are all junk, and even our news and information is comes from the same types of places. All of it is crap. Worthless crap and we’ve been spending our lives consumed in it.
Haven’t turned on my PS5 in a year. I’m not some revolutionary. I’m a person who quits a rigged game and I know bullshit when I see it. I don’t argue with myself or sulk. I quit immediately and find something that I’ll enjoy. No one is enjoying their PS5 the way they enjoyed gaming systems in the past.
Getting a system meant something. Now, it’s like a poor financial decision. The hardware is iffy at best and you know you have to hit a wall of subscription requests, ads, filling out forms, giving up personal information…and it never used to be like this. We’d rip open the box, slam a game in, and start playing as a group in the family room.
It’s not the same experience anymore. It hinges on addiction. What was once fun is now a dead social experiment. Look at gaming today vs the 80s and 90s. Depression and online gaming go hand in hand. I never gamed back then because I was depressed. It was fun and we partied over Goldeneye. What we’re experiencing today is harmful to people.
There’s definitely more to this story than we’re all privy to.
Ok. I’ll read a book instead. I haven’t turned my ps5 on in a year. Corpo execs have a mentality problem in that they’ve worthless leeches of people with addictions. I’ll just sell it and probably make all my money back because I have the discs with an overpriced system that continues to go up even though it was released years ago.
I’m a much happier person today. You don’t need these things anymore. Now is the time for humanity to return to common and basic activities. It will help us come back together and solve a lot of our social problems.
They’re doing us all a huge favor by pricing everything out and stealing what little we can afford. Face the music. They’re telling you the thing you paid for is theirs and not yours. It’s time to move on.
Agreed. People need to accept that the nation must fall before we, as people, can rise again. I do not know what the big deal is with moving on from something that isn’t working for anyone. It isn’t working for anyone except a handful of people and the entire world is so exhausted of the US.
What’s even more shocking to me is that we have not yet even come to terms with the reality that we are four distinct regions and each region is preventing the other from succeeding in their own way. Northeast, Texas through Florida, the west and the mid-west. It’s beyond obvious we are four different countries. Most land masses this size have much smaller countries and ours is simply unmanageable.
It will never recover. It can only become something else.
Release the files. Pervert freak.
Yep. Clear as day. We’re all on the outside. No idea how no one sees it.
RepubliCrats anyways. Democratic Party is a branch of the Republican party today.
Lol. It never is.
Wtf is so confusing to everyone else though? Your wife beating neighbor isn’t suddenly going to see the light. That person gets just as many rights as the rest of us.
The system is broken. The US cannot stand as a singular country anymore. The world is always going to fight and it’s not always going to be our responsibility to police it. I don’t want to be Team America World Police. Let this place gooooooooo. Let these territories make laws that better fit their societies instead of playing two sides of the same coin for eternity.
You just have to realize the monopolies and how widespread they are. If you break the nation apart and make it several smaller countries then some will become like the old US and other countries will thrive. At the very least, we could go somewhere and have our own laws and way of life.
It’s the same theme everywhere. They build for some kind of non existent luxury market while buyers stretch themselves thin. Now no one has any money left and credit cards are maxed.
We’re not buying what’s being sold. So now what?
The only reason Microsoft exists today is because of Exchange and an old market share on consumer/prosumer OS.
They’re a glorified email hosting company and an embarrassment to software development. Idc what AI does to their shitty software. Fucking hate Outlook.
Government at all levels. Local government puts them around parks to stalk children, state government has them all over the highways, the bigger city governments have them at every traffic light, the federal government has them god knows where.
That’s the scary part. We have no idea how deep the federal government is running this system and we don’t know if its combined with satellite imagery.
It very likely is though. This country has become an enemy to its own people.
Yes. I have extensive experience on seeing these systems implemented and I can back this post up. The camera’s analytical capabilities can be summed up as “whatever the camera captures, it looks for patterns in other camera’s footage and stores everything it sees.”
The cameras are deliberate in what they do. The system is specifically designed to track individuals, but also groups and this allows them to basically track everyone.
Is all the US government needs to do is put the faces from IDs to this tracking system and it becomes an instant hunting database. They can find any person across the United States of America in near real-time.
Its considered “crude” to them at this time because in rural areas, it’s only grabbing license plates coming and going but it’s expanding rapidly and every single local government has been on board with. Why? Revenue.
I’m not going to get into this too much but we tried offering non tracking systems that were intended for public safety. The local governments did not want them at all even though the camera system did a better job at its intention. The US government is filled with greedy people and they want everyone’s money. That’s why Flock is here.
Way to keep up. Good job being ten years too late to figure out what anyone with half a brain saw a thousand times a day on the internet.
How dumb are our world leaders?
IT pro shocked! Jfc what kind of society did we become? This is so embarrassing to read. Just the thought of humans ending up here. Something about an internet coffee machine malfunction.
It’s all so ignorant and moronic.
Dude is so sick in the head. Not a single serious person in the world is giving Trump an ounce of their mind. He’s a powerless buffoon.
It’s almost as if we live in an oppressive dystopia. This world is so fucked.
The people continue to be treated like rag dolls for the rich. People are such clowns for voting for this system. Split this fucker up. It is time.
It’s almost like the writers of the Constitution got tired of arguing after a certain point and did not care about looking deeper at many of the provisions that could easily be abused.
I don’t see them as the deep thinkers others do. They had grievances for the times and it’s clear that the works are all driven by those grievances and not for a long lasting society.
