So insane that people have to go back to the primitive workflows of… 2021 🤣
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Yes, like we went over before, it’s literally OK to use AI if the studios that I support use it to generate things that I like.

His grammarly.ai subscription must have ran out.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
What AI does here is allowing small teams to get art done what otherwise would eat up their budget, aka they literally couldn’t afford. No artists were harmed in these cases because if AI didn’t exist they simply wouldn’t have been hired.
That excuse can be used by big publishers as well, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Right, so the barrier was that they had to pay for this “outsourced bulk art”, and now with AI they don’t have to. It looks like we are in agreement when I say “I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art”?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
And little tools like that give studios like this an edge over AAAs. It’s the start of negating their massive manpower advantage.
The implication here is that you can gain manpower without hiring more men, no?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
100% agree. I’m glad AI is democratizing the ability for the little guys like you and me to not pay artists for art.

I can’t wait for this to finally come out.

I’m trying to understand, since it’s DRM-free, can I buy it and share with many people so they can play it on their PC?
You are not supposed to
Or there’s something that prevent me to do that?
Nothing technically
Does it mean that pirating GOG games is easy as transferring to other machine?
Yes
If so, I wonder why pirate sites like FitGirl still use cracked Steam version of games, why don’t just share GOG version?
Repacks are smaller in size
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 months ago:
Idk his render pipeline breakdown videos seem fairly in-depth. Is it just mumbo-jumbo?
Not especially, but it’s deceivingly surface level and doesn’t (and can’t) get into why those decisions might have been made by the programmers. The big issue is that because of his lack of experience and insight into why certain decisions were made, he somehow comes to the bizarre conclusion that there is a set of rendering techniques that are either:
- Being hidden from us by “them” to sell hardware
- Have become lost arcane knowledge because modern renderer architectures are by and large incompetent
Frankly though I think in practice the difference between graphics in 2015 and 2025 is negligible compared to the difference between TAA (or DLAA/FSR/XeSS/FXAA/SMAA) and x4 MSAA. The only that comes even close is Path Tracing in CP2077.
“Modern rendering features are expensive and not worth it” is a reasonable take, but it’s not what he’s pushing.
I agree he seems like a sketchy af grifter, but I’ve not seen a single good rebuttal of his actual points, and even if he was a grifter, that doesn’t invalidate what he’s saying.
The examples he demonstrates in some of his videos are “not false”, at least to the extent that he does click on some buttons on unreal engines and it does behave the way he says he does. So in this way it appears to a casual viewer that his “actual points” can not be refuted. But the grift isn’t in what he shows, it’s in the massive gap between what he shows and what he says afterwards.
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 months ago:
That’s the guy who’s asking for a million dollars to “fix” unreal engine 5 despite having 0 programming experience and sends out dcma strikes for any videos that call him out on it, lol

They got a forge like level editor this time around
- Comment on After stretching the definition of 'beta' for 8 years, Escape From Tarkov is finally hitting 1.0 4 months ago:
Although personally I suspect people are going to come up with a better version of the game in battlefield via portal.
every year they come out with a game to dethrone tarkov, and every year the game to dethrone tarkov flops while tarkov keeps going strong, lol.

I did not say that kernel level anti cheats makes cheating impossible. The improvement in the experience is not nothing. You would not understand unless you played both for yourself.

Yep yep yep, the devs of the FPS game with endemic cheating so horrible the competitive scene had to introduce their own matchmaking system with kernel AC.

When the point is that the Nintendo company charges gamers too much money, the accuracy of the amount of money being charged is relevant, no?
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Controller Announced with Swappable Buttons, Available for Preorder 5 months ago:
I have 1 of their controller, the Pro 2, and I never had issues with the battery, and will never have issues with the battery, because it takes standard rechargeable AA batteries. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the Pro 3.
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Controller Announced with Swappable Buttons, Available for Preorder 5 months ago:
The Pro 2 was notable for having an easily replaceable battery pack which was also compatible with standard AA batteries, and now the Pro 3 will be removing this feature in favor of an internal battery. I was implying that although the Pro 3 includes a new hall effect sensor for the triggers which would marginally increase its lifespan, the Pro 3 will likely need to be thrown away sooner than a Pro 2 because of its new irreplaceable battery design.
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Controller Announced with Swappable Buttons, Available for Preorder 5 months ago:
Very nice of them to add hall effect triggers for improved longevity so that you can trash it even sooner than the Pro 2 once the non-replaceable battery dies out.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 7 months ago:
Denuvo’s whole schtick is that your unique system environment gets used as a part of the “unlocking key” of sorts, so it would definitely not be simple. For example windows users face the same issue with denuvo whenever windows updates, although obviously that doesn’t happen often enough to be an actual issue.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 7 months ago:
maybe delays cracked version by a few days
Denuvo has not been cracked since 2023. The only pirated copies of Doom Eternal were using a leaked denuvo-free build until Bethesda removed denuvo entirely 3 years after release, and unfortunately they didn’t leak a denuvo-free build this time, so you are probably going to have to wait a couple of years or so.

- Comment on Is there really a difference between my understanding the phrase "go for a walk" and my dog understanding the phrase "go for a walk"? 10 months ago:
human is undoubtedly making connections and associations far more complex and expressive, but at bottom it’s all just “sound = thing”, no? 🤔
The understanding of this complex and expressive structure is significant because it allows you to convey novel or abstract information. You will not be able to explain what a walk is to a dog without a demonstration, while you will be able to do so (to some degree) to the unfortunate hypothetical person who have never taken one before.

I believe the academic label for your concern is the mind-body problem, which, going against the grain of the OP picture, is definitely still firmly within the realms of philosophy, not at all a settled science.

Yes I have forgotten to cover my sneeze more than once in the last thirty five years. Yes I still think it is not a good thing to do. What kind of a question is this man. Do you think that as soon as you break any social norm you relinquish your right to object to any normalization of this stuff for the rest of your life 😔
