They… Do.

- Comment on Sony's Naughty Dog Studio Orders Employee Overtime on ‘Intergalactic’ 1 week ago:
For short periods, like a few days, you can get a small boost in productivity. But if it goes on too long, you actually see a decrease in productivity overall.
And most companies aren’t paying for this, as lobbyists managed to get “computer workers” onto the list of allowed overtime exempt employees.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is now live 1 week ago:
It’s a civ game, so no. It’s still horrendously overrated
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
A can many using hand tools is producing less, and would require more people to have the same output as a company using power tools …
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
I’m not avoiding the spirit at all. I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of the no-AI-at-all brigrade slapping the AI label on a game that “uses AI during it’s development even if it’s not in the end product”, because it would absolutely count this exact scenario.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Bad analogy. Communication is part of team development. If you’re pitching ideas, redefining requirements or requesting additional assets, you’re developing the game…
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
If you’re sending emails related to the development of the game you’re developing to other people developing that same game, you’re NOT developing the game? What kind of bullshit mental gymnastics is this?
- Comment on Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder [TWIV] 1 week ago:
I mean, I can understand the desire to cobble together the ideas you have instead of saying you want certain pieces of 18 different reference photos, but with the vibe of a few others…
Like: I want something like this, but more cohesive.

It’s common in the US. Our priorities are… Misaligned.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I dunno if a year is enough to connect this singular dot.
1869 is also the year the US intercontinental resolution was completed, which would seem to be a much bigger connection to an element allowing travel than the guy who made the periodic table.
- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, do you use any Microsoft products at all (like 98% of corporate software development does)? Everything from teams to word to visual studio has copilot sitting there. It would just take one employee asking it a question to render a no-AI pledge a lie.

No one [intelligent] is using an LLm for workflow organization. Despite what the media will try to convince you, Not every AI is an LLM or even and LLM trained on all the copyrighted shit you can find in the Internet.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 2 weeks ago:
Your state may have had stricter standards than federal
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 2 weeks ago:
No one said otherwise. The ACA bill lowered the amount of hours that qualified as full time, which lead to the shittier employers cutting hours again.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 2 weeks ago:
Employers definitely used it as an excuse to cut a lot of people’s hours. It was a big deal at the time
- Comment on I get junk mail from T-Mobile & Verizon offering services that when I call them they say my address is not available for service. Both offer those services to my neighbors. How do I deal with this ? 2 weeks ago:
Often the people who decide to take on such an annoying unpaid position do so because they want to abuse the power.,

I’m ready to sleep half the time at 5mg. Holy shit.
- Comment on How a Manosphere Star Accused of Rape and Trafficking Was Freed 3 weeks ago:
Caught*, not just accused. Because he did it. They found trafficked women in his home. There’s no “alleged” bullshit to hide behind
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 3 weeks ago:
Purposely misreading someone else’s comment is not the way to proclaim you’re among the educated…
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
The AI investment craze wasn’t going on the whole time even LLMs have been around. There will be people calling out doomsday financial scenarios every day for years that never happen.
Some have been proclaiming daily we’re overdue for another recession ever since we hit the bottom of the 2008 one. Hasn’t happened yet, 17 years later.

It’s pretty rad.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
TF2 completely abandoned their whole design philosophy to cater to the gambling crowd…
They made multiple design documentary videos on their whole “recognizable unique sillouette” class design. Then they created loot boxes…
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
A long time? It’s only been in full swing for like ~2 years now. That is not a long time for financial bubbles.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
You have to log into steam to be able to launch any game you own on steam. As opposed to launching the game standalone.
This is the gateway you have to cross to access what you paid for.
That’s the management of digital rights, right there. It’s not complicated.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
At a certain point, making some functionality only available to part of your audience is more costly than just allowing it for everyone. Also the PR would have been horrible.
Now, being sued into doing it at all somehow made everyone in this thread fawn over them…
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 3 weeks ago:
And I have an anecdote that counters your anecdote. I’ve been refused a refund. It was at their discretion. Game crashing withing 10 minutes of playing every time isn’t always enough to get them to deign to give you your money back…
So, yes, it IS true. Them occasionally making a PR friendly move and going against their own policy doesn’t change that

This is not at all how this meme works.

- Comment on Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs 4 weeks ago:
Is… “Physical location of the store your currently standing in” considered personal data? Because that’s what is determining the price difference. Real estate prices are not the same in these two places. That changes the costs the store is offsetting.
There’s no way this author didn’t know that was what caused the difference in prices in this example.
What a terrible Way to try to back up your point.
