- Comment on Break privacy to make privacy? Age verification isn’t the answer 1 day ago:
They track everyone who visits a site that has a “share on Facebook” button, so they want this info for way more people than are visiting their actual sites.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 days ago:
Well, according Nvidia, they’re all wrong, so who are you going to believe?
- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 5 days ago:
Except reusing the same model/texture can be very good for performance. It doesn’t matter if there’s 1 instance or 1000 of a model in the game, it takes up the same amount of memory. Even transforming it/scaling it barely changes that.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 1 week ago:
What does that even mean?
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 1 week ago:
Ok… Most of those are probably American made games. And even if it’s 3 devs, that’s not enough to keep most studios open, even tiny ones.
The point was it’s not a lot.
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 1 week ago:
Enough for one dev for a year …such success.
- Comment on ‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI 1 week ago:
LLMs do a really good job interpreting natural language inputs and deciphering the meaning behind it. The issue is they’re being presented as a fully fleshed out analytical machine that can replace entire job roles instead of the interpretation layer towards other processing they should be used as. The grifters are selling something as someone it very much is not

- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
There are people that buy awful games just to 100% them and get the achievements. They actively search out things which give easy achievements. Not because the game might be fun, just to see number go up.
Not everything is addictive in the same way to everyone. So I don’t really care what you “buy”, it’s a behavior that exists in the real world.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
Most people do not look up all the achievements before they play. So, to them, it appears random, as they just pop up spontaneously as they play. And they usually start of with a bunch and get further apart as time goes on and the harder achievements take longer, so the time varies in much the same way as all those mobile games that have some sort of action economy
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
Variable timed “rewards” which trick your brain into performing repetitive tasks for longer than you normally would? Achievements definitely count.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
They were never relevant. It’s a Skinner box mechanic that really triggers certain people’s dopamine production in an addictive manner.

Seeing up Catch-22’s seem to be in character for Yahweh, though.
- Comment on Can AI do 40% of your job? Block’s Jack Dorsey thinks so. 2 weeks ago:
No he doesn’t. This is a sales pitch for a trash product he’s trying to unload after investing too heavily in it.
Stop promoting their bullshit marketing.

Most flat earthers don’t believe space exists, so talking about orbits is already a step beyond them.

Microsoft owns King. The candy crush franchise creator.

Yes, please stop asking for remakes or reboots or rereleases. There hasn’t been a AAA game I’ve cared about in years. It’s all derivative shit.
