  Most games being released aren’t even worth my time, let alone my money.

  I dont think you are in their target group then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Malaysia says it will ban social media for under-16s from next year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was me, I would suggest that everything where you can post stuff to a feed is considered Social Media.

  Direct messaging is not. But if they implement other features into the app, like stories, it’s Social Media again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because these rules are not about you and me, but are important on a much larger scale.

  Everything is for sale in capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.

  They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale announces a return⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Going up against Minecraft. About time someone makes a serious contender. I’ll watch this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Machine is also bigger. Small costs money if you want powerfull.

  Also, it’s newer hardware.

  I also think it will be priced at least a 100€ above the Deck, but I would also be willing to pay that for a console/living room computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it’s not game development, but bugfixes and quality testing.

  I dont know, but it does makes sense, when there’s still 30% work being done by human eyes. There will still be people checking everything through.

  Even if they hit 50-50, they could put more money into the development.

  The argument that they will just save the money only works as long as another company doesnt use it for game devs. Otherwise you naturally fall behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  /s right? Because it’s obvious people wont age verify for porn, when there’s a thousands alternatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grokipedia launches with AI-cloned pages from Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice change. But it’s probably because of the EU making it mandatory more than Sony being good guys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Confirmed - Electronic Arts (EA) sold off to investors including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I think it’s too nice to call them facists only. It’s literally a dictatorship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Poor innocent guns being used for evil, good thing someone stands up for them. :')

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China is about to launch SSDs so small you insert them like a SIM card⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it will always be more expensive at the start. Like any new technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cant you sideload on iPhone now after EU regulations? Or is it only 3rd party app stores?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You did it, legend.

  Congrats, it has been a fun ride so far! Halo 3 is an excellent choice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta shareholders vs Mark Zuckerberg in $8 billion lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EFF and 80 Organizations Call on EU Policymakers to Preserve Net Neutrality in the Digital Networks Act⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good on them. Nice that they speak up about bad proposals and call them out.

  But it would never had gone through anyway. Still nice they tell the world who is trying to act in bad faith, this case the ISPs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 363 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'A game, once sold, belongs to the customer': Prominent EU politician stands up for Stop Killing Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the option for buying movies exist. You can do it on Apple Store. You can download offline, but only into their own ecosystem.

  That would be a case, where you are forced to let them download.

  But it’s more realistic, that they just remove that option, than letting people download it out of their shop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'A game, once sold, belongs to the customer': Prominent EU politician stands up for Stop Killing Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice. The movie industry must be shitting themselves if this goes through. They are next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨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.

  Based.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨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.
