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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s official: EA is selling to private equity in $55 billion deal⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been boycotting EA for over a decade. I can’t boycott any harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  So there are not too many games. That seems like a personal handicap than a real problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It tracks everything you do, look at, click, open, close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney and the Decline of America’s Middle Class⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.

  “It’s just a joke bro”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric vehicle sales grew 25% worldwide but just 6% in North America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  American auto companies want to sell less cars at high prices than lots of cars at affordable prices.

  Also, GOP tariffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Netflix was cheap until all the content owners decided to start their own streaming sites.

  Enshitification and price hikes would have kicked in the second Netflix didn’t increase subscribers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cuphead is a throwback in every sense. Making it easy would just make it a throwaway game that is seen once and never again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $110 per months or 10 gameplay hours whichever come first.

  “This is what you will play today”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There very little chance that there will be faster game cards. I don’t think it has ever happened before on any system.

  it would likely be a lot of work

  This is the key point. The amount of work they would need to do goes against the amount of profit the way want to make.

  CDPR actually put in the work to adapt the game to Switch 2. Not every publisher is willing to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  CDPR can do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨007 First Light – Gameplay Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  James Bond would make a great CRPG but most people just want another shooter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blizzard’s Diablo Game Developers Has Unionized⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Diablo with Destiny multiplayer 🤮

  Giant advertisements within the game’s UI. It’s not F2P🤮

  I was bored pretty quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best Co-Op Games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of great options here already. I don’t see Larian’s Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 here.

  The screen gets a bit cramped in co-op but it’s perfectly playable and loads of fun playing these masterpiece RPGs on a couch with a significant other or a friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blizzard’s Diablo Game Developers Has Unionized⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I enjoyed Diablo 4 more so I could buy some DLC but it didn’t do it for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta might be secretly scanning your phone's camera roll - how to check and turn it off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The last meta app I used was instagram to keep track of restaurants. It was pretty much worthless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Decades of corporate consolidation only leads to higher consumer costs and record corporate profits.

  Corporations should not be allowed to exist above a certain market cap. Break them up. Make them compete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomb Raider developers Crystal Dynamics lay off more staff, say the series' future is "unaffected"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tomb Raider needs to go back to exploration focused gameplay.

  Once it became more action focused, it took away Lara’s fun vibe. Now she’s a grizzled mercenary with PTSD.

  They should look at Death Stranding for exploration based gameplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you folks want to have a really hard time find a way to play the NES version of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out on original hardware with a CRT monitor and then play it on any emulator on a modern monitor. You will feel like you’ve aged 80 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally )⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope MS has the ability to release the console priced APU hardware to consumers in an unlocked system that allows consumers to install their own OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII Worth Playing in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every game is worth playing to see if its fun.

  This one sucks and is the beginning of the FF7 cow being milked. It hasn’t gotten much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do new Silent Hill entries attract so much negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SH2 is good but is suffers greatly with performance and visuals because it uses UE5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto is full of scammers that are not allowed to trade securities because of criminal activities.
