I may be unable to shower and the Nation’s crops may be dying of drought but thank god we can use our Yankee chatbots as the good lord intended

But what is “boner misinformation”? 😂
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 3 days 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 3 days 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 3 days 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.

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
- Comment on what would it take for you to take back a partner who cheated on you ? 4 days ago:
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!

Oh I see, you meant from the supplier side. I thought you meant it was unsustainable from the consumer side, thanks for clarifying ✌️

- 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' 3 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' 3 weeks ago:
Interesting!
What kind of system would allow for that? Would queueing help?

Way too late, what a fucking dork loser. Hope the business crashes and burns (although we all know it won’t)!

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?

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t Marvel Rivals free? And uses very recognisable, well known and beloved characters? I agree that sex sells, I just think this particular comparison might have other factors when it comes to how active the game is lol
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 month ago:
They won’t get any kind of reckoning that we’ll understand. They’re rich, powerful, and insulated from pain. They’ve all got golden parachutes via their weaselly networks. There will be no karma.
