  Yeah, often learning anything more than the meme itself is that way, if only because you often find out about the rather sad route many of those early viral meme people went down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect they don’t even believe in this themselves, this is just a last ditch attempt at squeezing a little more cash out of dumb investors before declaring bankruptcy eventually. Seeing how one of their investors was Square Enix, that might even work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony shows off conceptual immersive gaming tech that lets you stand in a TV box and sniff The Last of Us⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Headlines. This is literally just a marketing thing, just like every other instance of the tech before it. No one is ever actually going to build this for home use

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah galaxy is sadly a bit of a mess. Back when i was still running windows it just broke its own update capabilities once or twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “For a moment, there was hope.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey Sony, Can You Not⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why’d Sony Interactive take them over? If anything it’d be the Sony group, which is japanese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Unknown 9: Awakening’ Arrives To 200 Steam Players, Poor Reviews⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An Ubisoft exec described Skull & Bones as the first AAAA game. Given the generally unfavorable reception this game got, “AAAA game” has become an expression of mockery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, you could, but given beths track record in that regard, why would they? They have been perfectly happy shipping Skyrim to new platforms with the same bugs for nearly a decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's incredibly ironic that ChatGPT constantly asks me to verify that I'm not a bot⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am convinced they use the data from that for AI training
