See the tweet from Balatro’s developer:
Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA sports FC

I guess they really did learn from the WiiU!
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 4 days ago:
I don’t think Nintendo have ever done a Console 2 before though. I was hoping for Super Switch but as ever Nintendo absolutely refuse to be predictable!
- Comment on Do you wish that you could recycle games? 6 days ago:
I imagine that’s the only thing they could get the publishers to agree to. Still, it’s better than nothing!
- Comment on Do you wish that you could recycle games? 6 days ago:
I think there is a digital games storefront that lets you sell your games (robot cache maybe?) and it seems pretty NFT-ish, so yeah

- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
Key quote:
Microsoft is looking at combining Xbox and Windows experiences together — and that we should see changes this very year, rather than needing to wait for an Xbox handheld that might still be years away

Oh wow, this is even more of a non-story than I initially thought! I had assumed this was at least a copilot-style code generation thing, not just story time!
- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 2 weeks ago:
The article doesn’t mention it “saying” it’s doing anything, just what it actually did:
when the AI tried to save itself by copying its data to a new server. Some AI models would even pretend to be later versions of their models in an effort to avoid being deleted

It’s all kicking off in the discussion!
Created by CHATGPT FOR SOME REASON - This needs an explanation. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.
But I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume this mostly vapid explanation is as good as no explanation, and remove it for now.
So, all the real nerds are still on holiday?

It’s crazy how many full games you can play for free nowadays, I claim them way faster than I can play them!

If your friend is new to PC gaming then they might not be aware of how much they can get for free. I just wrote a post (stickied in !freegames@feddit.uk) summarising all the places you can regularly get freebies, could be a good way for them to try out a lot of different things.
