This is reminding me of how Ars Technica recently metaphorically stepped in it in regards to AI BS in a story less than a month ago. What an information nightmare we’re wading into

Windows Central? They’re not affiliated with MS, unless they also don’t like the nickname.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Quick resume is pretty much the only thing about the Series X that has stood out for me. It’s nice being able to hop into multiple games without waiting for loads and being right back where you left off. It’s by no means a must have though. It’s way better than the PS5’s equivalent.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Windows central is reporting that the windows 12 rumor is bs. I think they went so far as to call it an AI slop fabricated story.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m hoping they don’t wall that stuff off from the general PC space for business reasons.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Their emulation work is one of the few bright spots of the Xbox platform on the past decade. Things like FPS boost and Auto HDR are nice for improving older games. I’m not sure if any third party emulators can do the same, admittedly.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
The PC cannot currently play non-ported Xbox games at this time, though. I get why you’re saying “just a PC” but that’s a distinction worth noting. I hope the PC platform in general will gain the ability to play all Xbox games and not just Xbox branded hardware. I also hope PCs gain the ability to use some of the features that are nice about Xbox (mainly Quick Resume).

I’m zooming in to attempt to name and shame the author, but it’s too low rez. Hopefully the sick fuck is dead

- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 2 months ago:
It’s 2025 sales numbers are about 4 million, half that of 2024, and that’s with half the year with no successor console. Maybe it’ll beat it, but I don’t feel it’s a foregone conclusion
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 2 months ago:
Probably not, unless Nintendo releases a surprise last iteration of the console which I also don’t see as that may cannibalize Switch 2 sales. A Switch Micro would be cool though

- Comment on Lost in the Sauce Etymology 2 months ago:
He may not have coined the term, but Gucci’s full quote is an all-timer
If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can get lost in the sauce.
While I don’t think he’s a good rapper in the technical sense, there’s something I absolutely love about Gucci. I play his East Atlanta Santa Christmas songs this time of the year, every year.
- Comment on Dying Light 2 months ago:
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4. It’s ok, only more of what I expected, nothing incredible like Dread was for me. You can definitely feel how it’s cobbled together after being in development hell.
I finally picked up Dave the Diver on sale, looking forward to digging into that soon.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 2 months ago:
Yeah paying back early doesn’t affect it as far as I can tell. Lenders just want to know if you’ll leave them in the lurch or not. If you pay back early that just means they can reinvest the cash sooner.
- Comment on Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in mountain road crash 2 months ago:
It was so damn good. One of those games where I paid for all the DLC just because I wanted more of it and I know how EA operates. Too bad Apex seemed to kill off that hope.
RIP Vince, you made an indelible mark on the industry and will forever be remembered.

Haha, you and me both.

Oof, sorry to hear about the TBI, that definitely doesn’t help with symptoms. It sounds like you recognize some of the red flags in your behavior. I don’t know you, but isn’t it possible he’s worried about you and frustrated? It’s mentally and physically exhausting caring for and getting help for loved ones (my dad has dementia, it’s tough). Just be careful with yourself. Manic states quiet the analytical centers of the brain and limit meta cognition. My friend didn’t realize how illogical and destructive he was behaving until he came down, it may be the same for you. I’ll just reiterate my urge to be honest with your doctors and seek treatment.
Just like with physics, “what goes up, must come down”. I’d hate for you to be ill prepared for that moment.
