This will now launch with the power of a nostalgic remake of some sort. And its a full new game.

- Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI 2 months ago:
Duolingo still have translators. They just dont have as much. Now they only need to double check the output.
Its not an all or nothing situation.
- Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI 2 months ago:
Im curious as how it makes it finacially impossible for improvements by actual translators?
And what improvements do you mean?
- Comment on Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI 2 months ago:
Okay, real talk guys. If there’s one thing LLM’s actually CAN do, its language and translation. The best ones are also great at context.
You sound a bit like people yelling at companies for laying off typewriter manufactures when the computer came along.
And we are in the technology community…
- Comment on Day 266 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 months ago:
Love these posts.
Dont know if you have any statistics on your posts, but it could be pretty cool to see how many different games you played when/if you hit a year!
Keep it up.

And that’s why politican salaries should be caped. Everyone can be corrupted, even if they started good.
- Comment on EU orders Apple to open up access to iOS notifications, allow AirDrop alternatives - GSMArena.com news 3 months ago:
The company argued that it is being unfairly targeted by the DMA, letting others “freely leech off of it” - a bold claim from a company that locks down basic features, charges for what others offer for free, and blocks third-party innovations unless it gets a cut.

- Comment on Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026 3 months ago:
I have to disagree.
To play with these brands in the LEGO ecosystem is fantastic for me and the kid. We really enjoy the cross overs you can make, and LEGO makes sure everything fits.
But if LEGO didnt måle “OG content”, I would agree. But they do.

Nothing. Its what HE gets for saving them from this fate.

They are not, but they could have made it so. Instead they chose the win for everyone.
- Comment on UK Orders Apple To Break Encryption Worldwide While World Is Distracted 4 months ago:
If the default ones does, 95% of the data is still harvested. Then we don’t really matter.
But yeah, everyone reading the guy aboves comment, get the keyboard. The more the better.

Ah okay, never heard about the Kennedy Center.

Who cares if your messages are e2e. Your keyboard is snitching on fucking everything, in every single app.

- Comment on The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified 4 months ago:
I think Trump is even worse.
- Comment on The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified 4 months ago:
The most fucked up part is that I disagree, but not because I think Elon is any better than you do.

It’s never been about data privacy. Never.
It’s always been about control. Always?
Snape: “Always.”
- Comment on Facebook Is Censoring 404 Media Stories About Facebook's Censorship [404 Media] 5 months ago:
Seems like they watch X and how they get away with being next level scummy and want to make this the new normal.
There’s not even a good rival to Facebook. It’s a shitshow and people use it anyway.
- Comment on Tencent: US designates the firm a Chinese military company 5 months ago:
I mean, they know US companies already work with the US military. That’s why they assume the Chinese companies also does.
Like Google providing US military equipment to Israel.
- Comment on Tencent: US designates the firm a Chinese military company 5 months ago:
Takes one to know one, US government. Nobody trusts you either.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 6 months ago:
That’s not the sad part. It is companies going for maximising profit as aggressively as possible, meaning they don’t care if they could earn 20 mil on this game, if they can get 50 on another.
- Comment on Are We Ready For Driverless Buses? 6 months ago:
I’m actually going to disagree a bit here and say, I think it somewhat makes sense.
Buses have specific routes, and can be trained to perfect those. Not all routes will be suitable, but some will.
Hope they make a public database for these routes, and are able to use the self driving data to learn from it.
- Comment on Day 149 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 6 months ago:
I’m already looking forward to the anniversary of this. I always see your posts.
I remember seeing Day 1. Didn’t think I should see Day 149.
Keep it up, Atticus.

- Comment on US Orders Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to Halt All AI Chip Shipments to China 7 months ago:
Fair enough. I looked it up, and I think you’re right.
- Comment on US Orders Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to Halt All AI Chip Shipments to China 7 months ago:
I know there’s a lot of different definitions on fascism, but one of them originated from Italy is, that the state and corporations act together. In this case, the US tries to bully Taiwan corporations to do their bidding “or else”.
I know some would say it dosent count because the Taiwan firm can do as it pleases, but it becomes fascism when the Taiwan government now need to force the corporation to do as the US says.
Indirect fascism. But then again there’s also parts of the US that’s not fascism, and then we can keep on going.
- Comment on US Orders Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to Halt All AI Chip Shipments to China 7 months ago:
The US have always been fascists, even before Trump. And if you’re in doubt what fascist means, because the word is misused basically everywhere, then this is a great example.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 7 months ago:
Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.
You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.
- Comment on European Consumer Organisation files complaint to European Commission against exploitative microtransaction practices in video games 9 months ago:
As someone who played LoL for maaaany years, this is actually true, and I don’t know why I didn’t think about before.
Their use of RP totally made me unaware of the cost, and I’m not even in the younger demographic.
It would’ve been better for me if I payed with a currency I understood. I would most likely also buy less.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 9 months ago:
Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It’s actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.
