- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
If I had to guess, it’s probably because most gamers aren’t programmers.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
He removed the authorship specifically because he was attacked for using AI.
People were already going after him for using AI.
I have no problem with him using AI personally, because I trust that he is a competent enough dev if he has built and maintained this program thus far. If you don’t trust him specifically because he’s using AI now, and you don’t trust him to review the code the AI produces, then that’s your choice.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
I’m excusing the technology because it’s specifically not useless, I have found uses for it. I’m not going to demonize the technology when the companies that are abusing it are nearly the entire problem. It’s about the scope of resources required and the job loss produced by this tech.
Do you really think running LLMs locally on your GPU is causing irreversible societal harm?
I know, it’s not popular to say AI isn’t the problem, but honestly, the companies abusing it are the problem.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
It’s similar, but it’s not the same thing.
Anyone can have an AI “write code”, but ultimately, you’re still responsible for the output of the AI and ensuring that the end result is good. If you are a competent developer, you know things like testing, storage, security and safety (especially when dealing with sensitive data like user data), backups, monitoring, etc along with understanding each line of code. AI will never be perfect because humans aren’t perfect either, AI requires code review just like humans require code review. If you aren’t a programmer, you won’t be able to review the code AI writes, and mistakes will be missed because humans make mistakes too. I don’t see that ever changing because no software is perfect, there will always be bugs no matter what (once the software is complex/sophisticated enough).

Honestly, unfortunately, I agree. It IS unfortunately helpful, and if you’re a competent developer using AI tooling, you can make sure it doesn’t generate slop.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 1 week ago:
Yeah, my manager replaced the team with his friends that he hired. It was just a case of nepotism, nothing I did wrong.
At least I have a 30% higher paying job now than I did back then, and this one actually has bonuses that they pay out too.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 1 week ago:
You know, a few months before I was laid off at my previous job, they did announce record-breaking year-over-year profits.
Then again, I’ve been at my current company for a few years now, and they have been announcing record-breaking year-over-year profits over the past 3 years and it’s been fine, so I guess it depends lol
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 3 weeks ago:
I hate that Xbox is a joke now and that it’s going to die out. I hate that there is going to be less competition in the console space. I hate that Microsoft have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 3 weeks ago:
I love my AI future.
Fuck.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Well it was Black Friday when I went, it was absolutely packed with people.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Well yeah, it’s expensive and they didn’t put it on sale. This was obvious.
When I picked mine up (I knew I’d get one eventually and didn’t want to risk the prices going up like they did for other consoles), I saw 5 people walking out of BestBuy with a PS5 for every Switch 2 that sold, and the numbers seem to support that the PS5 outsold the Switch 2 over the holiday period.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 2 months ago:
Actually, I have bad news for you… prices are likely going to go up from the AI bubble plus the upcoming RAM shortage.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 2 months ago:
Meanwhile I bought an Xbox Series S and PS5 and a Switch 2 plus a bunch of SSDs all in November lol
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 months ago:
Sure, I should have clarified not surprised by the power or the price.
It makes sense that as more and more power becomes available, the price doesn’t necessarily have to increase.
Computers (especially CPUs/GPUs/SOCs etc) are becoming more and more powerful all the time, and more and more efficient all the time. It doesn’t mean that the price of them has to rise.
The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful doesn’t mean it should be more expensive than the most expensive version of the Steam Deck. The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful should be entirely expected.
Hopefully this is a detailed enough comment to clearly explain my thoughts on this.

True, I’d imagine most default settings for most systems would allow a ransomware to happen anyway, since wine can likely access the home folder (and possibly other folders) by default.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 months ago:
It’s newer hardware in a bigger form factor.
It should be 6x as powerful, that shouldn’t be a surprise.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 months ago:
True, but it’s also nowhere near $1000.
- Comment on Not impressed 4 months ago:
I believe some people consider elves demons, but they aren’t really “people” or demons, they are their own classification of beings. I believe they are considered a type of humanoid.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
That’s rather unfortunate, and probably should be illegal that they won’t patch it (although they’d never be held accountable) although I think the fact that I’m using Linux would likely make an RCE less severe anyway.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Technically there is Call of Duty, just the older ones, which do still have people playing, and you can get bots for them, etc.
- Comment on Not impressed 4 months ago:
Lots of people think that animal means mammal. They are animals, but they are not mammals.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 months ago:
According to statcounter, Linux desktop was over 4% marketshare in April 2025, damn that’s impressive.
We really are getting there.
- Comment on Over 47% of Stop Killing Games Signatures Have Already Been Verified 4 months ago:
Well clearly you’re lying or you haven’t been looking, because this is NOT the most popular initiative on ECI.
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 5 months ago:
Right but if she asks in the first place, it’s a red flag.
Imagine if the genders were reversed. It’s not a normal question to ask.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 5 months ago:
Every single one of those games is excellent, but tbh I’d recommend starting with Underground 1 and then going onto Underground 2, they’re both fantastic IMO.
- Comment on They have a right to feel smug 5 months ago:
30 days of paid holiday per year is unfathomable to me.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 5 months ago:
So business as usual, then.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
It’s like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say “I’d have to look it up” or “I’d have to check the documentation” etc.

Calling it a plastic toywheel probably doesn’t help lol
