- Comment on What does Peter Thiel mean when he says the USA is the last iteration of the Roman Empire? 1 day ago:
He thinks that a single global technological authoritarian system will grow that he considers the antichrist. He considers the alternative to be some cataclysmic war that will wipe out humanity. He says he wants “a narrow path through them.”
What he wants is a future of neofuedalist technocratic states because he believes that somehow if you have a few fascist kingdoms run by billionaire dictators, rather than a single one, that’s the optimal state.
In practice it means that he wants the fall of global civilization, and he wants those multiple states run by billionaires simply because he’s not wealthy or powerful to control every other billionaire who also in his mind would have their own state, but he doesn’t want them controlling his slave-kingdom.
He thinks that by carefully destroying anything democratic and rebuilding it with a combation of fascist dictatorship, something better will survive.
So, he’s Caesar from fallout new Vegas, who wants the same thing, has an intelligence stat of 4, and is dumber than a mole rat.

- Comment on Skyblivion team says former volunteer is threatening to sue over code dispute 1 week ago:
As far as I can tell there is no public source code beyond a few tools they use, and many those repos have no license. So while his actions are shitty, he didn’t legally give them code. From what it sounds like, he gave them a compiled asset with access to his source code, then revoked access to his source code repository, so they decompiled the asset and he’s suing them for that. Which he may have legal grounds to do,because I’m guessing this was occurring in the “let’s all make a mod together!” and there likely isn’t a formal contract signed that says “anything you contribute to the project is ours.”
- Comment on Layoffs Hit Ghost Of Yotei Developer Sucker Punch 2 weeks ago:
Sorry my comment wasn’t super well written, but what I meant was: Sony stops PC sales for super popular game thinking they’ll sell more playstations. Playstation prices go up because of ram so now they’re neither selling playstations or the pc port. In order to recoup their losses from their shit business decision they go after whatever they can to suck the marrow, and sucker punch is next on the list. I was implying that if they had let the studio work on the PC port they likely would have made far more money of its sales and perhaps this wouldn’t have happened to the studio.

- Comment on Layoffs Hit Ghost Of Yotei Developer Sucker Punch 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure this had nothing to do with the expected sales of the PC Port which they then cancelled because daddy sony told them to because sony was worried that pc gamers meant people would buy less playstations and then sony raised the prices of all their consoles because there’s no memory so they’re now even more fucked and the executives are going to suck out the marrow and move onto the next thing to drain and eat.

- Comment on He saved the world. 2 weeks ago:
Also Robert Patrick did so well in the role for the T-1000. He nailed like uncanny valley of the machine being so close to human and then completely inhuman at a moments notice, and his practice on sprinting and firing a weapon without blinking, and only breathing through his nose is something that you don’t notice because it’s what you’d expect a machine to do, and then only looking back do you realize that yeah, he’s sprinting full speed at a car with his mouth closed without blinking.

- Comment on Will the proliferation of AI slop lead to the renaissance of craftsmanship? 3 weeks ago:
Were we? Perhaps in certain indie gaming projects, but the vast majority of things pre-ai in the tech world were like open source SaaS self hostable crippleware “community editions” with some very specific exclusions, and the majority of physical products that were popular were short lived influencer powered e-commerce dropships that lived through podcast sponsorships. Unless I’m missing something, outside of those there were a few diamond in the rough, but certainly not a renaissance
- Comment on AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. 3 weeks ago:
Additionally the bigger thing is once AI has the feel for understanding how an engine works, it can pretty easily be applied to another game with the same engine. That’s why nobody here gives a shit about unreal or cryengine games, but rather is reacting to RAGE or Nintendo games. The proprietary studio owned engines are the ones people care about

- Comment on Fact Check: **TRUE** 1 month ago:
The thing is, is that the reasoning is sound. If someone was forced into bestiality because they were a victim of trafficking or something they shouldn’t be disqualified from working somewhere.
But voluntary bestiality should just be a felony, and then the fbi should not hire convicted felons rather than there being an entire senate hearing to discuss the nuances of bestiality in relation to FBI employment when there’s 1000 more pressing issues these fucks should be talking about.

Sorry, meant microsoft/xbox store, not specifically a game pass subscription, comment updated
- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 1 month ago:
Game pass exclusives? Yes. Xbox/game pass cloud only games? Not that I’m aware of, but never say never. If they announced gta vi was game pass cloud early access for a release only they’d get millions of sales. Game pass cloud vastly limiting what you get? Yes.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 1 month ago:
Yes but only if you pay for game pass super premium plus cloud enhanced edition. You get 7 hours a month to play it for $100 a month
