- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 15 hours ago:
Who’s blaming the victim?
I’m blaming the one-way relationship celebrity culture. It seems like a breeding ground for people with serious social issues.

I can imagine that this type of celebrity attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans with borderline personality disorder and/or other potentially dangerous and antisocial behaviors.

My buddy keeps trying to get me into shooters. Most are boring as hell with almost zero gameplay innovation from games I played 20 years ago.

This just proves that highly processed food addiction turns the brain and taste receptors to useless trash.
I know people that are literally addicted to processed trash. They literally hate the taste of everything that is remotely natural.

I’m just an old fart. There are dozens of us.

Try playing any fighting game on PS4. 50%-60% is loading screens.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 6 days ago:
The hardware potential was reached on day one. Everything looks a little bit nicer than PS4 but games need to push ray tracing which is beyond what the system was designed for.

The one thing that the PS5 brings to this generation is blazing fast loading times. PS3 and PS4 games that load often are unbearable.
The UI is complete shit.
XBM is the best for a TV media box like a game console but corporate trends dictate mandatory enshitification because customers are stupid shit-for-brains idiots that must be advertised to at every possible opportunity or they will read The Communist Manifesto and start a consumer revolt. /s

Nvidia is not going to give a crap until the ~~money laundering ~~ AI bubble pops.

Sony spent this entire generation making live service games are were DOA or failed after years of development.
People generally buy Sony consoles for their single player exclusives. It seems like that is not a factor to consider for their next console.
I’m not interested in PS6. I’m more interested in building a Steambox to avoid Windows 11.

Activision should not have been allowed to merge with Blizzard.
MS should not have been allowed to purchase then.

they’re stuck in their version of the Geocities / dot-com boom era
That’s before everything became total shit.

Consolidation is always bad for consumers.
- Comment on Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop 2 weeks ago:
Sport games sell very well every year and have tons of predatory monetization. The target audience is not very discerning.

Tesla “full self driving” is an illusion that works on idiots.

- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
So there are not too many games. That seems like a personal handicap than a real problem.
- Comment on Anon makes games 3 weeks ago:
What if money was just called hours?
Difficult jobs are worth more hours than easy jobs and require more specialized skills. If the specific skill is not part of the repertoire then the job will be exceptionally difficult and/or impossible.
- Comment on Electronic Arts nears roughly $50 billion deal to go private, WSJ reports 3 weeks ago:
Private investors are just as greedy as publicly traded companies. They’re just trying to change from visible scumbags to hidden ones.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
This doesn’t make sense. Nobody is supposed to ingest all media. It is impossible.
You can’t hear every song. You can’t watch every movie. You can’t see every painting.
It should be celebrated that we have so much accessible art and entertainment.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 3 weeks ago:
This generation is plagued by AAA studios wasting years of work making live-service games that very few people want. Big money is chasing risky trends.

It tracks everything you do, look at, click, open, close.
- Comment on Disney and the Decline of America’s Middle Class 4 weeks ago:
Middle class = working class that isn’t poor
Propaganda has been really good at dividing the working class into three separate supposedly segments. All three segments (upper, middle, lower) are just a sickness away from being discarded by society.
