- Comment on After laying off thousands, Ubisoft says losing "key talents and skills" is a big danger for the company 1 week ago:
The ability to make the same game 20 times and get people to buy it all 20 times.

others are against AI in all forms.
I remember when “AI” was what we called computer-controlled opponents, lol
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 week ago:
He’s not the reason why the civilised world sneers at 'Murica, but he’s a huge symptom of it
As a Canadian, I used to sneer at the US like one would sneer at an immature sibling.
Now, “Made in the USA” feels dirty. I don’t feel like the USA can recover its place of former global respect in my lifetime.
- Comment on With a lot of companies no longer doing physical games, then would that give rise to more Piracy? How will video game preservation work then? 1 week ago:
With a lot of companies no longer doing physical games, then would that give rise to more Piracy?
Probably about the same. People always find a way.
How will video game preservation work then?
Games are just data, whether physical or digital. What gets lost is the servers for online functionality an such.
- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 1 week ago:
“Potato is and noodles” of course.
- Comment on Is the Switch 2 a waste of money? 2 weeks ago:
I have a Switch 1 and really enjoyed it, but I don’t feel the need to upgrade. Better hardware would be nice, but I’m better off gaming on PC anyway.
- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, not having legacy ports taking up space is a feature.
This is the first time I’ve heard this in my entire life! Thank you for that.
HDMI is not a legacy port; it’s still a commonly-used display standard.
Also, a dongle takes up extra space compared to simply having a port built-in.
- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t say they did or didn’t have HDMI ports. The comment I replied to said it’s a feature that you can buy a dongle to get the ports you need
- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 2 weeks ago:
Did you just claim that not having ports is a feature? Lol
If you weren’t being facetious about that, I think you might’ve had too much of that Apple Kool-Aid.
…which is actually probably a flavour of Kool-Aid, lmao

And it’s usually to fix some absolutely game-breaking bug…that only happens if you do MissingNo-level oddities.
- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 3 weeks ago:
Every corporation has the freedom of speech (measured by profit).
Every corporation has the right to employ bearers of arms, including autonomous bearers of arms.
Every corporation has the right to the money of the consumers, be it through purchases, taxation, or some combination of both.
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve done full-time work and part-time college and still had time for leisure activities. My work weeks were about 60 hours, before getting into errands and such.
I’m not a parent myself, but my friends who are parents have hobbies and we have social interactions and meetups. Sometimes with their kids present, sometimes without.
I can’t speak to your situation. Maybe you are incredibly busy. Either way everyone on Earth gets the same 24 hours per day. And while I was lucky enough to be born in North America, I wasn’t born into any sort of extravagance.
Plenty of people have to plan and schedule leisure activity, including gaming. And there are plenty of options if you only have time for quick bursts here or there. Puzzle games and turn-based games are great for that.
- Comment on Why are sites like Reddit so prone to downvoting people for self-expression or vulnerability? 3 weeks ago:
I find Lemmy in particular to be very much into using the downvote button for “I disagree” or “That’s not my experience” or “I don’t like this” or “they disagreed with someone who I upvoted”
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, and you said…
If we prioritized gaming, we would not have any money for the games and hardware or the place to hook it up and use it.
Plenty of people find space in their schedules for gaming. And based on your more recent comment, you probably do have other hobbies or optional activities that you find more fulfilling than gaming…which is great!
Some people game with their families. Some people find time for gaming instead of consuming other media like TV, movies, books, or social media.
If you prioritize other hobbies beyond gaming, that’s great if it makes you happy.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
I guess I think the difference between being robbed and being killed is greater than you do.
I also don’t think “robbing” is the right word to talk about someone who made video games worse…
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 3 weeks ago:
“Prioritize” doesn’t mean putting it above everything else.
How do you think most gamers have money for games?
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
You’re accusing me of wishing death on someone?
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 4 weeks ago:
I don’t even know what you’re accusing me of doing, lol
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 4 weeks ago:
“actively robbing the poor” and “actively killing masses of poor people” are two different levels of evil.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 4 weeks ago:
Is it unhealthy to be gleeful for the death of someone who promotes and spreads violent and hateful rhetoric and got hoist by his own petard? This is different than being gleeful about the death of someone who is making a hobby worse in one specific company.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 4 weeks ago:
Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.
The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.
The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.
There’s a huge difference here.

certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars
Ok, so which of those examples was this guy most like? Lol

This is the first time I’ve heard “timezones aren’t fair”!
If those extra 15 hours matter, you could always move to New Zealand. Otherwise, it’s “safest” to play by the rules and wait until midnight. Or just wait until the next day. Playing exciting games after midnight can be bad for your health (assuming you’re not on a nocturnal schedule)!
- Comment on UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do. 4 weeks ago:
Thirdly, and I’m sure it’s just an oversight, but the description still lists your game name on his page.
Free advertising!
- Comment on How do I unrot my brain from AI, how do I start using ChatGPT less and less, and is improv a good enough way to fix an AI-rotted brain? 5 weeks ago:
I replaced Reddit scrolling with Lemmy scrolling. There isn’t as much content here, so I did add reading to the mix.
This also reduced the amount of time I spent writing comments on social media. That’s a great win, imo!

- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 5 weeks ago:
Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao
