... They're fucking stupid.

Everyone knows that cyberbullying is bad, and there have been a not insignificant number of young people commiting suicides happening due to it. Personally I've only experienced physical bullying where it was completely one sided and I could not fight back in fear of physical retaliation. However I'm not really a social person and so I never used social media when I was younger and therefore I've never been bullied online either. Not to underestimate cyberbullying, but from my perspective it just seems like pathetic people who hide in the shadows insulting others and even if they make the occasional threat, they're most likely empty because if they really had the guts to do something to you, they'd just come up to you and do it instead of using such a roundabout method. Indirect verbal attacks have no actual physical damage value at all and it's all in how you perceive it. All it takes is one phrase to banish them and that is "I don't care". Surely you'd develop an immunity to such insults after a while.
If you disagree, please enlighten me as to why you think so.

Not out of personal experience by knowing the armor but of picking on pure sight.

So it's already a pretty actual topic and I think it will be even more involved into our world in the future. Computers drive cars, build houses, are able to talk and to think meanwhile and I guess it's only the beginning. What do you think about this?
Are you maybe scared Terminator could become real or are you afraid that a computer could take over your job? Or are you happy about the evolution of the AI?

I have a powerful workstation for all kinds of purposes from simple document work to high end gaming and working with scientific programs inside virtual machines (to spare my primary workstation from such programs and it's accompanied changes).

Earlier I expected future games to be all awesome, fun, great graphics and made with love (like made by gamers for gamers).

However looking back today I have an opinion, that the modern games seem just really awful. For example CS:GO is a skin gambling simulator with a mostly really toxic community. For me COD died as soon as Adv. Warfare came out (mainly because of the lack of support, unoptimized game and the jetpacks) and it takes around 50 GB of space. Speaking of 50 Gigabytes, it is the reason why I'm not even considering GTA 5. Minecraft and Terraria is just not for me (I prefer Garry's mod instead).
And since Steam introduced a mistake called Greenlight, many devs try to make cheap ass games for something like a haha simulator. It may not be for me but I'm expecting quality games rather than mass production of cheap games for my money. Assassins Creed while started out great eventually turned into what COD did: a terrible money making factory.

That is not to say, that all modern video games suck (in my opinion anyways). I enjoyed Hatred, Bioshock Infinite, Mirrors Edge and Killing Floor 2. Payday 2 is meh since it's unoptimized, pay-2-win, infested with DLCs and weighs a lot.

However the games, that I liked the most are the good old ones like Heroes 3, Unreal Tournament 2k4, The Gothic games, Warcraft 3 TFT. I find myself having the most fun with the old games, where the developers actually put effort into making games fun, balanced, optimized and cared about the content to make sure, that the customers get the best experience out of it (and often for a low price).

What do you think?
