This seems interesting to me! I'll follow it for sure. I hope it exists kickstarter and then I'll get it on the regular store.

I'm kind of at a loss to how awful this product launch is. This seems like a MASSIVE swing and a miss from framework, and I adore them for their laptops. This is extremely disappointing to me. They made a really expensive NUC, but even shittier than an actual nuc.

- no gpu
- soldered on cpu (wtf!)
- soldered on ram (wtf!)
- REALLY expensive

This isn't even a desktop computer. If the major components are soldered on, and it's missing a gpu, this is just a shittier version of their laptops, but in bigger form.

HUGE wasted opportunity from them to create a maker kit level plug and play desktop computer than even children could play around with and swap parts in and out of willy nilly. Instead we get this ............... whatever this is.

I too am confused as to why this exists.

The original game still to this day looks gorgeous, so a visual "upgrade" is really a downgrade since it uses ue5. I absolutely loved the original game, and consider myself a huge fan, so theoretically I'm their direct target audience, and I don't even understand why this exists and have no interest in it. I can't possibly imagine they're going to make a large amount of income from this compared to just selling the original. Baffling.

The second game didn't have the magic the first one did, my friend and I gave up about halfway through. Maybe someday we'll get back to it.

GameOS... definitely one of the names of all time.
The more I hear about this totally-not-a-scam project, the less I wish I heard about it.

BUT ... BUT ... IT HAS CRYPTO BRO. Listen, this device is going to train state-of-the-art algorithms, build cognitive frameworks, predict algorithmic tensor transformations, and absolutely dominate the market with blockchain integration at the NFT level with gen ai frameworks.

If you'll excuse me, I have to return to my sewer, so I'll just leave you with our investment opportunities form and bertcoin payment link. See ya bro!

At some point, this whole "AI everything" thing will come crashing down. But until then, we will see more and more executives dreaming up things that won't happen. Game preservation is absolutely vital, and there's so many ways to do it correctly, but getting an AI to dream one up that it thinks is accurate is definitely not it.

You put it perfectly.

Also. Can the crash please happen, like, tomorrow? The whole deepseek thing is helping, but I'd love to just turbocharge the collapse so we can be through and done with all the absurdity.

don't forget cloud saves. I can't remember when that launched but that was titanic for us pc gamers. No longer having to dig through archaic folders and burn the saves to a dvd, or seperate hard drive, etc... Or worry that your backups might get lost or whatever. Cloud saves were HUGE, and as far as I can remember, steam was the only place doing that.

NetEase is controlled by the CCP. This could have to do with the political waters, but maybe not.

In October 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China ordered NetEase to undergo rectification and temporarily suspend certain comment functions, after censors found inappropriate comments on the news app.

Valve are a bunch of gamers who just want to do cool things and make the gaming ecosystem better. They use the Steam Store as a way to give people access to the stuff they are doing.

This has built up a lot of good will between gamers and Valve/Steam.

Amazon/Epic/Google et al are a bunch of corporate suites who want to milk gamers for as much money as possible, and are trying to set up stores to do so, and use those stores to push even more money grabbing ideas from the suites.

They have next to no good will with gamers. In fact, due to their other areas of business, they likely have negative good will, and people fully expect the rug to be pulled out from under them at any point no matter how many free games they give away. See: Amazon Kindle.

Nailed it right on the head! This is exactly right. Specifically the part about them having negative good will. It's true. I hate amazon/ms/google and will actively go out of my way never to use anything they make. Steam is the opposite.

So not only did this talking corpo swarm-of-rats-in-a-suit not even actually try, the rat swarm didn't even understand why the gaming community dislikes them.

I also find it hilarious this is a post on linkedin. LOL.
