- Comment on Romero Games reportedly met with Microsoft just a day before the publisher pulled funding for the studio, and there was 'no mention' of the decision that put over 100 people out of work 6 days ago:
They took a huge bet on consolidation and it didn’t really pay off. Now they’re writing it off.
- Comment on Game Pass will "either kill everyone else, or give up", says Dishonored and Prey dev Arkane founder 6 days ago:
I tried GamePass PC until a whole bunch of my favourite games disappeared. So I had to buy them in the end l, which, given steam’s usual deals, was about the same as keeping my subscription. It’s not a great deal for discerning customers and people will notice.

Amen!

I get a feeling MS doesn’t want to be in the game production/publishing space anymore. They see bigger growth opportunities elsewhere. I personally believe that it’s a big mistake and the ai bubble will cost them dearly, but chasing very short term profitability has never hurt an executive.
- Comment on Robotaxis VS Reddit: Users Collect 11+ Videos of Tesla Robotaxi Incidents in First 36 Hours 2 weeks ago:
Either these “safety drivers” are staying, making the whole operation ridiculously expensive or they go, plunging the service into abject chaos. This is fun to watch from far away.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 3 weeks ago:
People keep trying to attribute planning to what can be much more plausibly explained by idiocy. Trump is not “strategically” dozing the rose garden to distract from the real news, he’s just a tasteless brutish moron.
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? Google says a new AI tool on its search engine will rejuvenate the internet. Others predict an apocalypse for websites. 4 weeks ago:
I agree with the above but would like to add that the results are hilariously bad and error-prone. I got results for a simple query about public holidays that were so wrong it was unusable. Once people get to experience the abysmal AI search regularly, they will just stop using it. Whether Google quietly kills it quick enough before people start using alternatives is the billion dollar question.
- Comment on Can we defederate hilariouschaos yet? 4 weeks ago:
As far as I’m aware hilariouschaos is already quite widely defederated. If they keep their right-wing idiocy up, more defederation will follow. OP directly along for it is fine.
- Comment on Can we defederate hilariouschaos yet? 4 weeks ago:
They will get defederated eventually, that’s the beauty of the fediverse. It might take a while, though.

Thanks I hate it.
- Comment on Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship Entertainment 1 month ago:
Another publicly listed entity, the path for Coffee Stain is now set. Expect extreme monetization and dwindling quality. It’s not their fault, it’s what the stock market demands. Rip Coffee Stain Studios, I’ll remember the good times fondly.
- Comment on Microsoft set to pull the plug on Bing Search APIs in favor of AI alternative 1 month ago:
Ai search is the worst.

Fernando approves.
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 1 month ago:
Fedora bluefin is a much bigger project and a much larger paradigm shift in how Linux distros can be understood than what you make out to be. Tweaking system files might be a good choice for users who need to go beyond what comes with the standard, but it’s not something a wide majority of users will or should need.

I’ve seen it on my personal big screen and I doubt the experience would have been better in a theater.

Oh cool! Seeing meta about my own memes is a new emotion.

Not every director is also a great writer and editor. There’s a reason making movies is a team effort.
- Comment on Predator: Badlands (2025, dir Dan Trachtenberg) 2 months ago:
Wait, Predator movies are teen/YA fantasy now? Didn’t see that one coming.

I was a big fan back in the day, but this trailer does nothing for me.

The US went straight for Nero it seems.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The Trump administration had made it abundantly clear that foreigners have no rights in the US anymore, and increasingly American citizens don’t either. Enter at your own risk.
- Comment on The Ghost in the Shell (2026, dir Moko-chan) 2 months ago:
GitS was the seminal manga of my formative years. We had many good and some not so great adoptions over the years, but I am pretty excited for this version. It looks quite close to the manga which is, imho, the best rendition of the concept.

This is hands down the best scene of the whole series. I come back to it every so often.

It looked better than expected, I’m still cautious, though.
