- Comment on EU Commission meets behind closed doors with Ubisoft, other corporations, and exhibits blatant corruption. 20 hours ago:
I don’t find your examples particularly relevant and convincing, but that’s off-topic. You’re totally right that communicating with involved parties is normal and does not ‘exhibit blatant corruption.’ To be fair, the original article doesn’t claim that it is. OP just wanted to rage bait everyone.
- Comment on Rough date 1 day ago:
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to that last part. The story is either fake or it is exaggerated to make it funny. In either case, vodka isn’t something a normal person would drink, let alone right before a date.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
What a waste of time it was. A game about nothing where nothing happens. How the mighty have fallen.
Vampyr and Banishers were interesting though. Rough, but interesting.

There is this game developer who was working on his game for 2 years. He was planning to release his game soon, but somebody stole the name and the idea. Crazy stuff.

- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t use the The Schutzstaffel Nazi symbol in the German mailers because they thought it would violate hate speech laws.
That doesn’t contradict what I wrote, though. I can see how some manager who didn’t care enough or didn’t understand the implications would accept this half‑assed measure somebody suggested on slack.
I mean, they should be criticized and shamed for what’s happened, but I see no evidence of malicious intent.
- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 2 weeks ago:
After nearly two decades working in IT companies, I can see how someone could discover this issue and notify someone else, but it was never properly escalated and addressed due to ineffective internal organization. I don’t mean to defend them, but I don’t see any reasonable explanation for why they would have done this intentionally.

It’s rather Apple who is incompatible with the rest of the world. Any other bluetooth device can transfer files with other bluetooth devices.

The happiest thing about Steve Irwin’s demise is that he didn’t live long enough to see Margot Robbie’s extremely hairy armpits.

Is UE5 still being maintained? If not, I can imagine that it’s easier for the team to migrate to UE6 than to keep it UE5 running. Just trying to find a reasonable explanation.

You either pay or you don’t play. It’s not like console players have a choice.
- Comment on Just say no 4 weeks ago:
I have figured out where my intense dislike of using AI comes from. My need for control/understanding stuff I create.
AI doesn’t take that away from you though. You don’t have to outsource your job to an LLM, but you can use it to supplement your skills. People choose how to use AI, and while it’s true that many take the easy path - that’s totally on them.

- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 5 weeks ago:
I can’t say xbox series x disappointed me, but compared to playstation it felt meh - probably due to as unenthusiastic UI as a gaming console can get. I guess I was lucky with consoles if this is the biggest issue.

Yep. All this outrage, but 100 is a lot of time. I’d consider it if the picture quality wasn’t terribly bad in my region.
