• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It does not matter what media or if its interactive or not. My point was about people not talking about real issues and just pointing with the finger to the boo-man, like videogames and now Ai tools. Besides videogames are also interactive, but that was never the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is not just speculation, it is a warning not to just believe alleged accusations. We saw this a lot of times with politicians too too, while pointing to Ai to hide their real problems. So I ask you, have you prove that all of the accusations are true that the kid died because of the Ai and there the kid had no suicidal problems before?

  But yes, its easy to say “you have no clue” instead of coming up with facts. Its easy this way to point with the finger and believe what you want to believe. Plus I said if its true at all, then I am for regulation. You instead ignore all of my points and say “you have no clue”. I wonder if you have any clue what you are talking about.

  but you are saying that the companies selling these products should get off for free because they “would’ve done it anyway”

  I am not saying that. Did you not read the last part of my reply?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Last year, the company was sued by the family of 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III, who took his own life after allegedly developing an emotional attachment to a character he created on Character.AI. His family laid blame for his death at the feet of Character.AI and argued the technology was “dangerous and untested”.

  I wonder if the death is really connected to the Ai. It could be the person was already in a problematic situation with family and friends, and they just need to blame someone or something and don’t want to admit the real problems. Kind of what often happened back in the day with videogames getting blamed for killing humans.

  Now, I don’t know if this is what is happening, but it is good to have the mind open. Because we could end up in a society where everyone undermines real problems in physical world and blames Ai to sideload the question. Nontheless I think the outcome that the companies restrict access to adult only is a good thing. But the entire industry needs to do this, not select services AFTER deaths. Because if this is the root cause of death, then why should others be allowed to operate? This needs regulation! I am not for regulating every detail, but IF this is causing kids to die, then it NEEDS regulation worldwide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield's new battle royale is free-to-play and out now with 100-player matches⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many are running to play a new Battle Royale in 2025. I mean, I have nothing against competition and I wish more Battle Royale (like PUBG) and Team Shooter (like Overwatch) would release. And I’m not even joking. But I wonder how many are interested into Battle Royale right now.

  I watched the second one in theatre and don’t want to talk about it. Lot of people like it. But that is where I stopped. I don’t even know what happens after. :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Konami instantly shot down the Wachowskis’ request to have Hideo Kojima make a Matrix game, it’s claimed [VGC]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because Kojima didn’t have time when the request came in. I wouldn’t mind a new Matrix game with current tech, as Matrix is my favorite movie of all time. I’m so glad there is no successor to this perfect movie, because the story ends right with the phone call.

  I still play on the last (almost last) official build of Yuzu. I played Breath of the Wild last year and this year Tears of the Kingdom. In fact I still play it, as there is so much in the game. All on the forbidden Yuzu. :D And I’m proud of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is, I could do a study too and claim that 4K/8K TVs are much better than HD to your eyes. Its just the setup and source that makes the difference.

  Also I think that is what happens with Cloudflare. I mean I can imagine they have agencies to put load on popular websites, just to offer them the solution. At least it makes sense from business point, so I can’t be the only one coming up with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New image-generating AIs are being used for fake expense reports⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You ask too much from the normies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the source material, the distance you look and quality of the panel. 4k is just more resolution than HD. This does not really need a study.

  My thoughts were maybe this has something to do with somehow trying to interfere with SponsorBlock and Ad blockers. It might have gone wrong, or who knows what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox is more expensive for developers too, as Microsoft bumps up dev kit cost [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought the dev mode on each regular Xbox is used for development, that makes this thing easier to test. I know the specialized dev kits have more RAM capacity in example. I don’t know how much involved and features they provide. Probably some sort of debuggers and the like… now that you mention features, it makes sense. Especially larger games do not have spare RAM and other stuff left to add the development tools on top of it.

  Looks like my initial assumption is the entire opposite, this only affects AAA developers. lol.

  Combine that with VR tech to have an immersive visual representation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox is more expensive for developers too, as Microsoft bumps up dev kit cost [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you are right. I was under the assumption every developer needs it. But it makes sense they don’t as they can develop on the PC and just “export” it to Xbox. But why would a AAA developer need this then? They can develop (and I assume for the most part they do) on a PC as well and test the games on the regular console. Just curious.

  (Updated 2025/10/23) Mind that the title has an AI-generated content disclaimer, citing that “much of the graphics” were made by AI and then post-processed.

  To be honest, this is probably the only game were Ai generated content does not annoy anyone.
