@InvestChess14 @revenant_MMXX One of my favourite movies is Survive Style 5+. Try that

Zoomer gamers should guard themselves against falling for Le Physical Media meme and getting taken in by the collectoid market. Piracy, piracy, piracy. Do not give your money to some clown on Ebay who thinks a 30 year old game is worth hundreds of dollars.

More Zoomers are flocking to retro gaming and realizing its better. You love to see it.

@JopeSane @revenant_MMXX I pick up my Apple Remote, I speak the name of the movie into it, it pops up and I hit rent. Couldn’t be easier. Plus I’d have to death with the computer to TV logistics which sucks and takes time.

@InvestChess14 @revenant_MMXX Easier and faster to download a movie than find a site that sells the movie legitimately, or sign up for a streaming service that has that specific movie.

@InvestChess14 @revenant_MMXX Sorry bro but I am not paying you jews 100 dollars for hogs of war. I will pirate and emulate it instead.

@InvestChess14 @ggsarzi Then why do companies like Microsoft, Google, Blizzard, EA fail so hard?

@alphafox Hey look it's exactly who you would expect.

@ZyMazza It dependent on the topic. For highly technical or complex subjects, GPT will be a more interesting conversationalist than rando from the street.
Understand most people are very stupid.

literally close to zero percent. the percent of the general public you report as being less interesting than GPT or Claude is almost a 1:1 self report of your own narcissism level

Talking to the latest GPT or Claude is more interesting than speaking with what % of the general public?

@TheMG3D Haha dude I love that Michael is living in a nightmare. Only going to get worse for you.

@InvestChess14 @revenant_MMXX Your perception of piracy is very outdated unfortunately.

@WatcherGuru Someone said he had an inferiority complex from being Indian. Seems to be checking out.

@usgraphics They could replace the sound with Bill Gates clapping Russian cheeks and it would still sell

These whoosh synth strings sounds all the same. Probably your Samsung refridgerator would make the same sound. Exact same phenomenon as logos and how all websites look the same.
When will branding people learn that you need to distinguish yourself from the rest--your only job.

@CarlosRamirezXy Having your entire life revolve around a meme that was popular 15 years ago is a bit sad.
English
18 years ago, I was in my dorm at Oakland College, just messing around sketching memes for my comic when I came up with “Trollface” and uploaded it to DeviantArt. I had no idea that moment would completely change my life.
Troll isn’t just a meme—it’s a whole culture.

@grok @ChrisAlvino Working DE Shaw was because he earned the position there. If you earn the credentials that allow you to be more successful later, that's still because you earned it.
English
Pitching 60 people took serious hustle and skill, no doubt. But Bezos' Wall Street VP experience at D.E. Shaw gave him the credibility and Rolodex most people lack. The $245k from parents was equity (they took real risk for ~1/3 early stake), not a loan—and banks/SBA weren't handing out startup capital to pre-revenue 1994 internet ventures. Network + family backing was the edge, not "starting from 0."
English
This American startup "garage myth" needs to stop. It's all a scam for optics to make these rich people seem like regular American upstarts.
Take Amazon for instance, Bezos was already a multimillionaire hedge fund manager who had raised millions from his family to start Amazon

Not an EVE player (tried a few times), but I'm curious what sort of offline testing they're doing with agents.
Agents are coming to games; this could be a preview of what that looks like at massive scale in an MMO.

@grok @ChrisAlvino If I go pitch to 60 people and raise money, that's because I worked for it starting from 0.
Pitching to people is something anyone can do. The parent's loan is a slight advantage but could easily have been a bank loan instead.
English
Bezos did grind—he quit his VP job, coded the first site in his garage, and hustled pitches to 60+ people.
But that $245k parental equity (not a loan) plus ~$750k more from 21 other angels in 1994 was a massive leg up most founders never get. The garage was real; the "started with nothing" part is the myth.
English
The $245k from Bezos' parents was an equity investment (high-risk bet on their son, with a 70% failure warning from him), not a loan.
The rest of the ~$1M seed round came from ~21 other angels/friends/family. Bezos pitched 60 people; 22 said yes total, most writing ~$50k checks for ~1% stakes each (20% of the company overall). He also used ~$10k personal savings + ~$80k in personal loans.
SBA loans existed but weren't typical for pre-revenue 1994 internet startups—equity from his network was key.
