- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 2 days ago:
It’s not ruining my day or anything, but the gacha game basically bribing their players to vote for them feels pretty lame.
And I mentioned it in another TGA thread, but for a 4.5 hour runtime, presenting roughly 10 out of 30 awards on stage with the rest being rapid fire announcements between walls of ads/trailers doesn’t feel great for an awards show.
Those two gripes aside, I did enjoy it overall. All the winners’ speeches were very sweet and nice to see, though clearly a rough year for most games not named Clair Obscur.

Cursed thought - Quentin Tarantino “Feet Cut” of a movie that’s just an ultra-ultra wide camera on the floor the whole time.

That’s not how movies work.

If there were something in the elements indicating it, it could, but that seems unlikely.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 1 week ago:
Llms will never become sentient. It would take an entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology (probably more than one) making use of something like llms to even approach that possibility. Don’t let techbros fool you.

If only they had it explicitly laid out who is allowed to comment.
…oh wait, they do. So your “transphobia” strawman is entirely baseless.

lol, fuck off. Better late than never, but this shit turned me away from consoles a long, long time ago.

I’ve seen two videos by this guy (that I can recall) and both heavily focus on the speed of light, hah. Both quite good, too!

Pointing out who is likely to be a fan of hers isn’t “blaming the victim”. It’s being realistic about what she has to deal with. It shouldn’t happen, but bad people exist. Can’t ignore that.

Yeah, so “boring” to just not say shitty, denigrating things out loud. Poor you. 🙄

So you get it’s a shitty thing to say, but you’re saying it anyway. Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting. I was wondering why there wasn’t the usual “Most Popular Demos” button on the main page.

They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.

That certainly was the intent. I just hated it. It felt like every run was doomed from the start until I managed to get through the seemingly endless number of runs that would be needed to suss out not just what every item did, but how they interacted. There were parts I really liked, but I kept putting it down because it just wasn’t fun. Once that daunting requirement was removed, I had a blast and played it a ton. I haven’t gone back to it in a long time and it still remains one of my most played games on Steam.
- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 2 months ago:
It is incredibly rare to see an Album anymore because people don’t listen to music as albums.
…what? This claim is so incredibly wrong, it slants your entire comment. Artists as small as you can get to those as big as Swift are still releasing albums. Just because you don’t interact with them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

I strugglebused on BoI for a while, trying to force myself to experience it the “right” way and just hating it the whole time. Legitimately thought I didn’t like the game for a long time. Then I finally gave in and just looked up the items as I found them and that made it so much better. I played enough to get every ending, and I stopped worrying about “ruining” games by looking things up after that. Baring legit spoilers, I look up everything now. Turns out that knowing how the game functions is pretty important for enjoying it. Glad they finally got around to addressing that.

but I also feel kind of bad for the devs
Why? They chose the price. They obviously think this is better than a $60+ price tag for a reason.

Ah, yeah, I totally misread those screenshots. My mistake. Still not good, though. I take back that YDI, but yeah, not surprised they’re getting ghosted after all that.

I know nothing about manufacturing, but I wonder if/how it’s cheaper to do this rather than just printing on both sides.

Lol, YDI. When asked to provide the identifiable information, you just say “Stop and do the thing I want.” You seriously expect them to just hand over an account to someone who can’t provide basic information about it? You owned yourself, pal.
