- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 1 week ago:
It’s just as shitty and funny as the one where Sony had a similar-looking mechanism where the viewer of their TVs is disrupted by an ad, then has to shout the name of the product to banish it away.
- Comment on Over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI in game development, 2026 CESA survey shows. An increase from last year’s 51% 1 week ago:
Japanese creatives are now heavily split on LLMs. What with half taken to defend their work with watermarks and proofs of manual processes. While others are churning out thirst traps by the dozen, and still others “enhancing” game screenshots of their player characters in poses and skimpy clothing.

I once used to watch TMNT as a kid and sometimes the show mentions what were then considered the strangest pizza toppings ever sold.
There do exist Nutella “pizza” but I consider them to be more pastry than pizza.

I remember there was an awful computer game decades ago which had the player torture and kill some prisoners in a concentration camp.
Now the motherfucker is going full double down, God knows who the disgusting fuck is making this fascist Kluxer garbage.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 4 weeks ago:
These are mostly on ship. They’re at that stage relying on whatever is left in the large fridges, having to ration their stock. Which can only mean they’re not being resupplied, especially at such a prolonged operation that the shit leadership bragged they’ll finish Iran in a week.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The unfortunate reality of it now, like having to keep your CV constantly updated and ready if ever to be laid off at any time. And it’s worse than ever.
- Comment on We all know that Mr Beast, Logan Paul, and KSI are all horrible people. Why do they still have subscribers? 4 weeks ago:
Why do they still have subscribers?
Mostly kids or teens who are unsupervised and so horribly impressionable. Moreso if a percentage of those bastards’ viewership also come from developing countries whose young populations have access to smartphones and cheap internet but are lacking credible role models, and so instead Youtube becomes the substitute.

- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
In my country, this is about 15-20 cents per sachet, imported from Indonesia. It is cheap and processed, but hot and available at any roadside stand to go along with a bread roll, crackers, or a cigarette.

the sheer volume
Picking through hundreds or even thousands of shots and choosing about a few dozen good ones is, yeah, equally difficult.

The old is new again with same bastards in suits. Just like the 19th century railroad craze which had some hedging their money but then lost the investment game.

Once again, this demonstrates just how volatile and uncertain it is to be having game development as a career path.

Unsurprisingly a flaming asshole to anyone he fears and hates.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 month ago:
Their own brand of capitalism is one tied to a penultimate patriotic goal, where all enterprises are convinced by the Party they are working to achieve supremacy by 2049 where by that time, the Mainland topples and humiliates what they see as American hegemony and exceptionalism, while expecting the rest of the world – including developing countries who are now tied to the Mainland through heavy imports – to acknowledge its being figuratively the Middle Kingdom.
This is the China that can say “no”, and a book that once vigorously supported the idea of destroying American hegemony through capitalism and was banned briefly, is now cashing in on the winnings.

People will well paying jobs and money for fun stuff are less likely to start a civil war
Depends on what part of Mainland China, as there’s glaring class struggle within. Of course, anyone says otherwise will have Xi quietly sending in riot police.
- Comment on The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more? 1 month ago:
Pure disinformation.

One of my nephews is this. Cooks something but in the process used a lot of pots and pans and utensils, and didn’t bother washing up afterwards.

“Don’t unionize, just get a better job.”
What an ass statement fitting the appropriate snark reply: “Thanks, I’m fucking cured.”>
- Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic. 1 month ago:
Seems you got downvoted because some are fanatical about cracking open a book, rather than going online.
- Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic. 1 month ago:
Yeah, that bookstore is pretty upscale. Not unlike others where browsers are free to read almost anything.
Asides from the protection from humidity and dirt, I feel they also don’t want to sell a frayed damaged book or magazine – I feel that would count for them as a loss – unless the customer paid for it, so they put limits on casual browsing. Otherwise and in some places they put out a selection of open unwrapped publications and let anyone, provided they also pay for the coffee or hang around and pay by the hour, to read at their leisure in a dedicated cafe.
Yeah, only sure way for you to know a new book is to scope out the copy online if it has an ebook equivalent.
- Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic. 1 month ago:
National could barely able to sell publications as by 2010s nearly everyone went to spend more time online – ebooks, social media, etc. – and even the browsers have disappeared as magazines started to end publication, so leaving the stationery business the only thing keeping it afloat.
Strangely, asides from Fully Booked and that small Japanese bookstore in an uppity part of Manila, the Big Bad Wolf book festival draws a large crowd of bookworms.

When it was increasingly clear to Christian extremists in the 70s there won’t be any forthcoming event at the end of the millennium, instead the bastards have to artificially force the second coming, so they created the scheme to destabilize the world.

This is one of my issues with pop music in general. The egomania involved and the inauthenticity.
