Funny, I actually have good results, (400+mbit cable internet, (first) FireTV 4K stick) I can play like I'm just playing on a console/pc itself. It can only get better with improvements on streaming. And my brother and his boy also have no problems (200+mbit cable, (second) FireTV 4K Max stick). Of course it is never 100% without some streaming artifacts, but like 95% of the time its just good. And as I said it can only get better with improvements on streaming hardware.

Comment Already (Score 1) 17

On the FireTV sticks we already had a separate tab for luna, integrating it into the Prime app, which already gets more unresponsive with every new update is unnecessary. I'd rather have them spent a few days (or even just a few hours) of devtime on being able to set the position of the subtitles, and actually have the style settings work. Also provide original soundtrack on asian movies/animes instead of only the horrific english dubs.

These aren't real problems, most are easily fixed, but require adjustments to the cars. Automatically closing doors, many asian cars already have systems, hell, my car has it for the trunk, so why not build it for the sidedoor. Hard alarms. (Crude) Health detection systems. And as already suggested, let the car drive itself to the EMS, firedepartment or policestation when in doubt, or at least towards the closest ambulance, so it also minimizes the time for the ambulance. But all in all, let them pay dearly for people wasting time or trashing up the car, so full camera view of the car before the passenger enters, so you can see it was clean, and after.. It's not like many situations mentioned aren't happening with human drivers too.

It takes years to set up your own fabs, and you still need the blueprints and the raw materials to produce them, AND the machines. So you can bet your ass that countries which posses these things, will block you from obtaining those. And you probably will be even blackballed from obtaining the rest of the hardware AND software.

Oh please, layoffs like this have been rampant through the whole gaming industry, hell, every IT based industry. And MS certainly has a plan woth buying up all those studios, namely moving away from console production to game production, as consoles will go the way of the dodo, and the money had to come from selling games anyway. The current market is so full of games, people have more to choose from than time to actually play it all. The market has become oversaturated. But look at the past, it has always been like this, large studios going defunk. And studios aren't social institutions, money needs to come in to be able to support the development of a new game for many years and make a bit of profit, you need a lot of money to be able to support it, and if more money is going out, that means you have to do something to prevent that, or close up shop.

Oh what bullshit, the budgets for these new games are very high, and games need to be be very successful to make that budget back, and that's pretty hard these days. These big studio games need to be sold multiple millions times to make their money back, and then some to keep the studio afloat for the next game. Yeah, suits make the decision, but a studio needs to make money, it isn't a social institute, it's a business just like any other business, enough money needs to come in to survive the next game production.
