Can’t say if this post is full of shit or not because it’s been years now since the last time I saw an ad.

- Comment on Level 5 boss admits using AI for Professor Layton, Yo-Kai Watch reveals 2 weeks ago:
So let me get this straight: The most important part of a game while in development; the trailer, which is basically the “game seller” thing, the element that might make me decide if I want the game or not, it’s AI slop. But somehow, you are telling me the rest of the game won’t be? I mean, even the damn presentation itself, not just trailers, was AI slop. How the hell do you expect me to believe that you are not using it for the game if you used it (and poorly so) for the event in which you were supposed to show me why should I buy the game?

- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 2 weeks ago:
And not only. I can make a voice or video call to my family abroad with any IM app (whatsapp, telegram, signal, discord… pick your poison) for free because I have tons of gb of data in my cell plan. Meanwhile, making a phone call will cost me dearly.
- Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games! 2 weeks ago:
Looks to me like malicious compliance. Make the gamers pissed so they protest to who can change the law.
Also, at least they are not asking for a photo of your ID, so here’s that.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 2 weeks ago:
Because when Whatsapp was born, SMS were paid (and not cheaply). In my country, sending one SMS cost 0.19€ at the time and didn’t allow pics to be send. Meanwhile, with 10€ I could have 1-2GB of data that allowed for tens of thousands of messages to be sent while on mobile data and unlimited messages while I was on a wifi connection.

- Comment on Languages have rules and follow predictable patterns. French: 2 weeks ago:
Lo so, ma è “singolare” nel senso che la maggior parte dei sostantivi italiani finiti in -a o in -o sono singolari. Quando uno impara la lingua venendo da altre, risulta abbastanza confusionario perche una delle prime cose che si capiscono è che in base alla vocale con la cui finisce il sostantivo o l’aggettivo, si può evincere se questo è singolare, plurale, maschile o femminile ma con le parti del corpo questo non si applica.
- Comment on Languages have rules and follow predictable patterns. French: 2 weeks ago:
Italian: many body parts are male gendered in singular, like arm: “braccio” and use the relative article; so “the arm” is “il braccio”. However, to make the plural, you use the female gendered SINGULAR version of the word and the female plural article. So “the arms” become “le braccia”. But that only works for some body parts, as others work differently!
Eg: with foot and feet, we use the normal rule: foot (piede) is male so uses the male singular article (il piede). And feet (piedi) remains male and uses the male plural article (i piedi). However, hand (mano) is considered a female gendered word (although it ends with -o which generally means it’s male gendered) and uses female articles.
Also: we don’t talk about accents.

Italy, socialized healthcare:
Last year I got involved in a crazy car accident that left me with serious injuries.
1 hour after the accident I already had the first MRI done, a specialist surgeon saw me, determined that my injuries needed a second MRI and a CT scan but that they were not life threatening. A couple of hours later I had all the required tests done and assigned a bed in a room to start recovering. 3 days later I had back surgery and some more days in the hospital to rest. My injuries were not life threatening but the OR was ready for me from the moment they called the hospital saying they were bringing a multi-trauma patient.
In a few months from now, I’ll have to go back to remove the bars they put in my back to keep the vertebrae in place.
The total cost of the whole ordeal was exactly 0€ (unless we want to count the book I asked for to read something during my stay).
Fuck the US healthcare vigorously with a spiked stick. If this happened there, I’d be better death because the debt I’d have now would be insane.

In my job, the philosophy is: if you can’t end it bè the end of your shift, you are understaffed, and if so, then the problem is not yours, so go home and finish it tomorrow.
Unless it’s a real emergency, obviously, but those are so rare that I rarely end up a year with more than 10 hours of overtime at the end of december.

- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 1 month ago:
Indie doesn’t mean “small and pixel art game”. It means the studio is independent. Kingdom Come and BG3 were made by independent studios with little to no help from pubblishers (if any at all).
The rest you mentioned at max could be considered AA or simply A games IF there was a pubblisher behind them helping with development. What you said was a world of AAA games aside those mentioned is actually a world out there aside AAA games.

- Comment on What's going on with Tesseract and why are people upset? 2 months ago:
Long story short:
A snowflake created a frontend for lemmy in which they added a hidden blacklist of communities, people and even words that were shadowbanned for everyone using it without informing first, so if you used it, you’d be seeing a censored version of the fediverse based solely on one person’s opinion about what you should be seeing there.
Some smart people discovered this and the community didn’t take it too well for how it was made (in particular, how it was not optional but forced on the user).
The dev of the frontend wasn’t happy about it and ragequitted with a letter in which they basically say that we are all mad here (except them) and that the fediverse can’t be saved because we are all pissed about this (as if they were our one and only saviour or some crap).

- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 2 months ago:
Nintendo is not your friend. It has no interest in passing any of its potential savings onto you, and the only reason it’s ever interested in your bank account is when it’s thinking about how much money it can get out of it.
Some (too many) people fail to understand this extremely basic concept.
