- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable 1 day ago:
People without money are replaceable. People with money are not. What a stupid statement. MONEY IS WORTH. You could be the most talented engineer in the world, the modern Einstein in science. Unless you have capital or create capital, you’re an insect who will be squashed. I love the idea but AI and automation are about to make 90% of the world’s population obsolete. And NOBODY is training LLMs on UBS or universal healthcare LMAO we’re cooked and reporters know it, but there’s no money in saying it, so even now the media is trying to milk the last possible money from this dying system.

Less weed? If not that, you’re probably staying up too late at night. Go to bed earlier than you have been. Get off the screens at least an hour before you want to to go sleep.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 2 weeks ago:
You need to get passed the first story arc, then it gets really good. It doesn’t really feel Star Trek™ at first, but that changes and it’s worth the journey.

That’s really a shame. Deus Ex deserves a full ground up remake.

There was alcohol involved. Alliances were made, alliances were broken, butts got hurt. It’s a hell of a game. TBF the friendship was already rocky. This was the coffin nail. Him spilling red wine on my new white cloth couch and blaming me for having a white couch didn’t help.

I lost a friendship over that fucking game.

I wasn’t too keen on that $70 basic version price tag in the first place, so thanks Randy. Can’t wait for it to be $39.99

That’s an option, but there were a lot of people involved in making the game. I’m not a fan of collective punishment. They most probably did their best, he’s just a shit spokesperson.

I’m not going to punish the entire development team just because he’s a tool.

I have a 3090 in a 7800x3d box with 64 gb ram and I had to drop from 7680x2160 to 3840x1080 to get decent framerates. I get better performance in Star Citizen. After a few CTD’s I just went ahead and got a refund.

I honestly don’t know what this “trainwreck” talk is. BL3 was passable. I didn’t like the antagonists, but the game played fine if purples dropped way too much and the new guns weren’t great. People make it seem like it was the Worst Game Ever and I don’t get it. The pre-sequel was hot garbage, but 3 was fine.

Welp, that’s what I did. Got my money back. I’ll buy it when it’s $19.99.
- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 4 weeks ago:
Funny thing, that. It’s not a well-optimised game. That’s the problem.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 4 weeks ago:
I run a 7800X3D on and X870 mobo, 64gb ram and an RTX3090, and couldn’t run it at my native 7680x2160 resolution and have a playable framerate. It was fine at 3840x1080, but randomly crashed to desktop (at 1/4 my normal resolution, that I can even play Star Citizen at.)
I refunded it after 3 hours. This was before Randy’s ridiculous response to the criticism. I was planning on buying again later when it’s fixed, but now I’m not so sure. The man is his own worst enemy.
- Comment on Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing? 5 weeks ago:
Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?
No disrespect but nurses weren’t in the towers evacuating people and trying to get them to safety. Nurses weren’t crushed by the collapses, or burnt to death by the fires. Nurses didn’t die of horrendous diseases due to inhalation of unknown toxins and asbestos. Were the nurses heroes who saved uncounted lives? Undoubtedly. But they were not first responders, and didn’t suffer the same outcomes.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 5 weeks ago:
I’m not dismissing the criticism of BL3, I honestly don’t know what it is beyond my personal experience. I wasn’t a big fan of the antagonists or the weapon changes, but It didn’t ruin the game for me. I really didn’t know that the game was so widely disliked - I never even looked into it. It came out, I played it, lost interest, and moved on with my life.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 5 weeks ago:
So, BL3 wasn’t great. the pre-sequel was out of house and doesn’t really count. It was made in an entirely other culture. It’s not like there have been a lot of games since BL2.
I honestly don’t understand the hate.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I’d like to say that while the game feels great, the engine does not. I had to drop from 7680x2160 to 3840x1080 to make it playable on an RTX-3090. For context, I can play Star Citizen at full resolution just fine (7800X3D, X870 mobo and plenty of RAM.) I think it’s a UE5 issue. I also CTD a few minutes ago.
Gameplay wise it feels like an updated BL game. motion is vastly improved with double-jumping, climbing and dashing mechanics. I can’t say much about the guns or skills, since I’m currently only lvl 5, but the auto-gathering of ammo and the addition of a medkit mechanic (hit T to use the med gun on yourself which is itself a loot item) is a welcome improvement.
That’s about as much as I can say so far. I hate that it was $70, but we all knew that was going to be the new normal for AAA games.

Honestly from the reviews I’ve seen I don’t think I’d ever expect end game. More “you win… here’s the credits” and now I realize it’s been a long time since I’ve played a game that did that.
