• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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.

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My bad. English is not my first language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like billion dollar Apple, Google, Microsoft stopped the Digital Market Act? /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to make it possible to host your own servers. Just like Counter Strike.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We are basically training their models/bots for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta tells court it won’t sue over Facebook feed-killing tool—yet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Closing accounts also means losing users. If the number is high enough, they want enforcement rather than banning.

  It’s always profits in the end.

  Ye it’s like the credit score system in the US, but with extra steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan forces Apple and Google to open their mobile platforms • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they didn’t open up to anyone else when EU implemented it back in March/April, they won’t do it now.

  uBlock might be out at some point, but modified APKs will probably live forever.
