“Functional machine” is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as “functional” :)

This was bound to happen. No way would Musk let an AI contradict his views.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 day ago:
I know. I like online content as well. Some of the games I spent the most hours in (Warframe, Helldivers 2) are these kinds of games. But if a corpo lobbying group is forcing the choice between “Enshittified always online” or “never any online content ever anymore” I’ll choose the latter.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 2 days ago:
… as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist…
There are third party options for this.
… and would leave rights holders liable.
Liable for what? A service everyone knows they’re no longer providing? Are car manufacturers still liable for 50 year old rusty cars people still drive? Can Apple today be held liable for a software vulnerability in the Lisa or the Mac II?
In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.
Then don’t design games that way. Don’t make games like these. This is good news, actually.

They’re called “chocolate sandwich biscuits” in the UK? Huh, I always call them “overrated”.
- Comment on Anon likes a thing 2 days ago:
I’ll be honest here; anime has always been a large sea of mediocrity, with the few sprinklings of stuff that is occasionally actually good, and some incredibly rare few things that are consistently good.

Very unlikely. He hasn’t made any content covering the initiative yet.

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

Let’s be real here; arrogant twats don’t off themselves. Too much ego.

This is not a change.org petition. This is a European initiative. Meaning if this gets the necessary number of signatures this could get brought forth to the European Parliament, where laws on the subject can get negotiated over.

I dunno, man. I’ve heard it being referred to as “aqua-cola”. I’ve also heard it’s incredibly addictive, which makes sense because not a lot of time has to pass at all before I start to crave more of it. It’s practically impossible to resist.
Should’ve never been started on that shit. I dunno why it’s so normalised in society…

In my case that’d be a small, mostly empty house with very few rooms.

Joe’s on you; I believe poetry is just pretentious writing.
- Comment on Mina the Hollower: Release Date Announcement Trailer (October 31) 4 weeks ago:
You’re… Not exactly disproving what I said or making a real case why it’s beneficial. On the contrary, you’ve only reinforced exactly what I’m talking about:
For quite a period, and still today, the indie scene is dominated by pixel art, because those people grew up with games that looked that way, and are still stuck there. But now the people who grew up with the PS1 are also capable of completing game projects, and they themselves are stuck in their past.
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Summer Game Fest Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like the kind of game I want to avoid like a contagious cancer.
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Summer Game Fest Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Yep. I’ve heard good things about All Star Racing several times now. Probably should get it…
- Comment on Mina the Hollower: Release Date Announcement Trailer (October 31) 4 weeks ago:
I know it’s not. It’s about a sizable portion of indie developers and gamers being stuck in past nostalgia.

I doubt the explosion resistance will be as high as a dedicated resistance armour.

Does this update fixe the horrible graphical artefacting I’m experiencing? Probably not, huh…
- Comment on Chronicles: Medieval - Announcement Trailer 4 weeks ago:
“Chronicles: Medieval” sounds like the intention is to create a game series set in different time periods.
Considering the UI of the game, it looks to me it might be a kind of battle sim-esque thing kinda like Mount and Blade.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 4 weeks ago:
This trailer is entirely cinematic. I don’t know what to expect from the game, what kind of RTS it will be (does it feature base building? Is it more tactical or grand scale? Is it MOBA-like with hero units being the main feature? Is it war-game-like?). This trailer literally tells me nothing.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Something about it reacting to metal? I don’t remember anything of wood shattering when Whitewalkers touched it…
- Comment on Atomic Heart 2 - Announcement Trailer 4 weeks ago:
This game looks so hoorrrnyyy.
Goodness gracious, the developers saw the Internet’s reaction to those twin bots from the first game and decided “yes! More of that!” XD
- Comment on LEGO VOYAGERS | Reveal Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Nice to see this game finally being completed.
I used to go to Lightbrick Studio here in Copenhagen to alpha-test the various features and mechanics they were developing for this game. That was a few years ago by now, where the environments looked a lot more bland (it was literally just a raw test of the puzzle mechanics).
Nice to recognise all the things I tested in the trailer.

Bionicle Masks of Power. And I highly doubt it. Something else is going with that…
