wouldn’t be possible without the said class.

This is complete and utter bullshit. Like technology and infrastructure is impossible without billionaires. They are leeches and are not structurally significant for any reason than that we let them be.

This isn’t new information to the majority of people who care. The trick is mobilizing society to do something about it (like general strike). You may be newly awakened, but the majority still are not.

LLM code generation is the ultimate dunning Kruger enhancer. They think they’re 10x ninja wizards because they can generate unmaintainable demos.

I’m interested in movim. They are a mature project that has been around for ~15 years and are working adding some discordy features. With those coming it seems more promising to me than the alternatives that haven’t even hit a stable state yet https://piaille.fr/@movim

I’ve never played dragon quest, but as a long time final fantasy enjoyer, final fantasy 15 sucked so much I put it down and I never went out of my way to play 16 because of that.

FF7Remake was amazing. FF7Rebirth was good in many ways but also had way too much garbage and goofy removed so I have very mixed feelings about it. Also like the post said it’s a very long wait for a complete story. It also is not really an entry point because FF7 is a huge franchise in itself.

If you take those out of the equation, the last FF games were 13 lightning returns in 2013 which I think is probably good but very different (I didn’t end up finishing but not because I didn’t like it) and 13-2 which in my opinion is one of the best in the series but gets slept on because it’s gated by 13 (2009) which I like but I wouldn’t call amazing or transformative.

I think FF12 might would qualify as a worthy childhood formative game, which means (excluding 16 since I just don’t know) the last good FF that is also an entry point came out in 2006. 20 years ago.

Tldr; I don’t know if FF16 is a worthy childhood formative experience, but if it’s not, the last candidate is TWENTY years ago, so ofc young people aren’t getting attached to the franchise. They’re probably playing jrpgs that are actually good instead.

They won’t kill side loading (the fact we even call it side loading instead of simply installing software is a problem). They’ll just shoot it in the knees a little. No big deal.
