- Comment on ChatGPT’s latest stylistic quirk is sinister, infuriating – and absolutely everywhere 2 days ago:
But do you not see how redundant the construction is in the given examples? You’re right that it has a place, but that place is not literally every paragraph you write.
An LLM doesn’t understand the rules of when certain linguistic constructions enhance the communication of the writing, it just repeats a pattern that existed in the training data in places where it’s not necessary. That’s why it is so jarring and inhuman to read.

Try emailing Gabe directly. Historically he has been quite receptive to well written personal emails asking for his intervention, and maybe you’ll prompt a policy change that makes things easier for everyone who’s Steam account is 18+. Worth a try.

- Comment on I wish videogame culture would take more cues from readers 2 weeks ago:
In that vein is a podcast that I listen to: New Game Plus. They pick one retro (15+ years old) game and play it for a week and then discuss at the end of the week.
You can find them on their official site, over at YouTube or whichever podcast app you use.

Your weak reading comprehension is your problem
People in glass houses shouldn’t
endeavours [SIC]
imply that British English spelling is some kind of aberration that needs an editor’s note.
It’s rich to start your critique like this because you have completely missed the point that I’m making.
Enjoy being an arsehole [SIC] on the internet.
- Comment on Console Commands and Mods Shouldn’t Disable Achievements — Consoles Are Holding Players Back for No Good Reason 3 weeks ago:
I can’t parse your second clause so no idea what point you’re making.
Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours is your own. Who cares if someone else plays their game the way they want to? I don’t use cheats in any of my games and I like to try to get achievements. But I don’t look at other people’s achievements or care if they got them legitimately. Why should anyone care?

Heaven forbid someone illegitimately obtains imaginary game points in a single player offline game that they bought.
- Comment on [Video] Group of racist teenagers attack lone black man in Manchester 4 weeks ago:
Why are you posting this? Yes, hate crimes happen regularly and it’s disgraceful. But when someone posts outrage-bait on social media we all have to raise a collective eyebrow and ask what their agenda is. This isn’t news nor is it informative.
No surprises that your comment and post history is full of politically-charged subjects.
- Comment on Day 602 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
Make sure you get the soundtrack to play along with the game. It makes a huge difference to the atmosphere.
I haven’t played the re-release so I don’t know if they made that work but originally Quake would only load the music from the CD in the drive. With the various Quake source port engines you can use now, there are ways to configure them to look for MP3s in the folder if you’ve downloaded them.
