- Comment on Why console makers can legally brick your game console 8 hours ago:
If you live in a shit hole like the US, yes.
It’s totally illegal over here.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 11 hours ago:
Exactly - the platform owner usually can do everything. Can a third party crawler? I don’t know
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 16 hours ago:
an impossible encounter
That’s kinda the point of Souls games though. The encounter isn’t impossible, and once your skills and attitude change, you get through it - even though the encounter itself didn’t change a bit.

Dark Souls II fans will love it!
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 16 hours ago:
We do have fairly precise numbers of how much energy it takes to train the models using the best GPUs available, and slightly less precise but also reasonable estimates on how much it costs to run servers for users to toy around with.
It’s extremely high, but not different from what it would be like if these were cloud gaming or 3D rendering servers.
The main point is usually is it worth it and that’s highly subjective.

It’s also very hard to keep track of licenses for text based content on the internet. Do most users know what’s the default licence for their comments on Reddit? How about Facebook? How about the comments section of a random blog? How about the title of their Medium post? And so on
- Comment on Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship Entertainment 1 day ago:
Every. Single. Time. I read “Embracer” as “Embraer” and spend 30 seconds trying to parse why an airplane company is investing into entertainment.

Do you tend to write down a list of bullet points every time a loved one needs help?
- Comment on Who will win? 2 days ago:
And we would soon follow.
There’s a difference between “okay, Aedes and Anopheles do not belong here and can be exterminated from this local environment because we inadvertently introduced them here” versus “let’s just exterminate all mosquitos, you know, some of the most important biomass that feeds uncountable species in a deeply interconnected network of ecological interactions that directly affects us”
It’s a significantly better idea to come up with solutions to the actual diseases.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 5 days ago:
I mean… Do you support the recent proposal to ban online porn? How about alcohol?
Valve provides a game, an appropriate age rating, a description of the monetization scheme, and a way for users to freely trade items.
If minors transform that into a gambling addiction, it’s certainly a big problem, but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

Counter Strike is a M rated game

Oh thankfully you included the ® for every single mention of your game’s title. Otherwise I was totally going to steal it!

Why do
LinkedIn users write their essays
In this format? Many other platforms
Have the same limitations for character count
Or even lack of rich text formatting
Yet people don’t write like this.
Where did this
Culture come from?

Runs perfectly on YoinkyDonk LTS
- Comment on After saying negative reviews 'might just cause our death' and 'we've got a few months left in the oven', No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in 'immediate financial danger' 1 week ago:
It was an obvious content bait piece, and it worked. Got shared everywhere, people kept saying “no the game is actually amazing now guys trust me buy three copies” and all it took was a Discord message, way cheaper than hiring a link building service or outreach campaign.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
and floating point isn’t a precision
Floating point precision does not mean I’m saying “floating point is a precision”, whatever that sentence means.
The PlayStation can’t use anything but integers to place points in 3D space.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
The PlayStation hardware is barely capable of 3D at all.
Sure, it can accelerate some polygon math, but that’s about it. No texture mapping, no Z depth, no floating point precision, no anti-aliasing, no shading.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 1 week ago:
Sorry 😞
- Comment on The Original Gears of War Is Being Remastered For PS5, Xbox & PC 1 week ago:
Gears of War is a fantastic game, and it looks surprisingly good even to this day, if you can get past that specific “Xbox 360 grey and sepia” colour filter that every game seemed to use.
- Comment on doctors 1 week ago:
You’re confusing solid food in my mouth with calories ingested.
If for whatever physiological reason your claim is correct, and your digestive system is indeed so fast food goes through unprocessed, you didn’t actually eat. You’ve eaten in the social, pleasurable or psychological sense, but these are not ingested calories, and therefore also completely irrelevant to your metabolism or diet.
If you could take a 1000 calorie burguer, cover it in plastic, swallow it and have it pass through intact… You just ingested zero calories. So you can’t later say “oh I regularly eat 1000 calories per meal and lose weight, but my partner chews a 300 calorie steak and gains weight!”
If you see what I mean.
- Comment on doctors 1 week ago:
It’s important to notice that while an underlying medical issue is certainly likely in your situation, and that’s hard to work against… There’s no physical way you were actually ingesting 200 daily calories and didn’t lose weight.
This is beyond biology, it’s physical. You were either consuming way more than that, or you were actually losing weight and just didn’t notice. There’s no alternative.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 1 week ago:
They can “reserve the right” all they want, that’s illegal where I live, and they sell their devices officially here. I’d love to see them trying to hold this stance in court - even Apple lost here over a similar issue, so go right ahead and try.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 weeks ago:
While what you said is true, you’re neglecting that it’s not entirely based on selfish ideations.
There are people selling courses and profiting heavily from tricking those people into thinking that these strategies work. They pretend they’ve won cases like this, that the loopholes are real, that many people are singing them praises. The failed attempts are just “the loud minority that screwed up the process”.
- Comment on Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC 2 weeks ago:
Around the same as the Steam Deck when portable, but with access to significantly better upscaling.
Such a shame FSR looks so terrible, the Steam Deck would otherwise hold up much better against it.
I’m still not going to buy one and only use my Deck though.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
I mean, the game is in early access so if you bought it and are now complaining it changed… It’s a you problem, not something that should be refundable.
