- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 17 hours ago:
Now, the fans has taken over on Metacritic by starting a review bomb, the user score of Mario Kart World has dropped from 8.3 to 7.7 in just a few days and that is definitely big. We can see tons of negative reviews, and it truly looks like the players aren’t happy at all.
The message is clear, the new update has ruined the entire online gaming experience. We saw many reviews using the word “ruined” which clearly shows how upset these fans are.
Is it possible that this is ESL instead of LLM? Or maybe a mix of both? I’m getting way more ESL vibes from the first paragraph, but the generally meandering nature of the piece does point to an LLM too.

- Comment on Royal Fuckup 1 day ago:
Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g “Who do you think you are, the Queen?” when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).
Largely, at least in Britain, they’re pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I’m of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I’ve spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).
Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.

I don’t think OP is talking about mainstream music. I think OP is talking about mainstream music streaming services (i.e. Spotify)

Can we grow a pair and tell this nutcase to get fucked instead? It’s eternally frustrating to watch our politicians rush to rim this fascist.

But what is “boner misinformation”? 😂
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 weeks ago:
I do! I see okay, so it’s like the private key is stored within the ROM somewhere, and that activation code is like a public key that just decrypts based on the locally stored private key, making anti-piracy software work whether online or offline. Quite clever, really! Thanks 😊

Does DRM work without an internet connection? I always assumed that sort of thing needed to be able to communicate with a server somewhere to check… Something? 😅
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 weeks ago:
I’m a total dullard when it comes to these things but like, if you disconnect your machine from the internet so no outside checks can be made… Wouldn’t it just run as usual?
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it terrified me too! It was also just one of those things that kind of made it seem like games were magic, in a way? Like, it was so unexpected and it expanded what a game could do in my child mind to such an extent that suddenly they could do almost anything! I miss that.
Ugh, sucks to hear it’s unlisted due to some legal technicalities. That’s a shame.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 weeks ago:
Black and White 2 is SUCH a great game! I didn’t realise you couldn’t get it on any storefront!!
Is it B&W2 or B&W1 where the game whispers your name if you play it at night?

“spewing boner misinformation” is absolutely hilarious

What does your last sentence mean? What data are you seeing?
I know I wouldn’t take back a partner who broke the trust in our relationship, and I’d hope other people would have enough self respect not to either!

- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 5 weeks ago:
Fair! I’m in web so wouldn’t know either. What kind of software do you work in? I’ve been thinking about jumping careers lately after realising that I quite like architecting a more complex system, and sort of hate working with front end web dev😂
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 5 weeks ago:
Interesting!
What kind of system would allow for that? Would queueing help?

Ah yeah that’s a tricky one. I guess as developers we’d all like to be ambitious and plan for millions of users but that sort of hardware and architecture takes time and money that might not be realistically in the budget/scope.
I’ve also not really got insight as to who would have a say on that kind of architecture, whether that’s PMs or devs. Probably higher-ups, right?

I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t know Helldivers 2 – what basic launch features were/are missing?
