Yeah thats fair. Slop is more appropriate.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 days ago:
Yeah I don’t know. The knee jerk reaction Is “hey make Xbox have more AI”. She at least has the sense to have her first press release say “we’ll have no AI slop in our games” but we’ll see if that lasts.
CoD has been caught using AI art already.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 days ago:
I’d be surprised if Xbox is a thing in 5 years after this news. The way things are right now Microsoft can’t make an Xbox console that will succeed by any metric. Maybe it’ll stick around as software.
Phil had to salvage the brand after the fucking disaster that was Xbox One and I don’t think he was terrible but it clearly wasn’t working out.
Replacing him with the head of Core AI is a fucking joke though.
With the cost of hardware skyrocketing and Sony closing studios gaming is in a really dark place right now.
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 5 days ago:
Most of these are popular and achievable by someone who has the fucking guts.

You’re not wrong. I think there’s very achievable goals in that list it’s just whether we get another feckless centrist Dem or someone with some actual balls.

Things the Executive can do alone:
- Executive order rescinding all Trumps EOs
- Abolish ICE and dissolve DHS. Trump did it with USAID so I don’t want to hear “Congress has to approve it”.
- Instruct the DOJ to prosecute ICE agents and investigate anyone on the Epstein Files.
- Instruct the DOJ to prosecute all Trump Admin officials. (Put Steven Miller in a pillory on the national mall)
- End all govt contracts with Palantir and Elon Musk’s companies.
- Hand Pete Hegeseth and Marco Rubio over to the ICC for boat bombings.
- Stop the White House ballroom and all other vanity projects.
Things they need Congress to do:
- End/Reverse Citizens United
- Expand the Supreme Court
- Impeach all Trump judicial nominees. Especially Emile Bove and Aileen Cannon.
- Expand the House of Representatives.
Truthfully, Trump has done irreparable damage to the US both domestically and internationally. I don’t think most of us will live to see it fully rolled back. The most important thing the next Dem president can do is punish the Trump admin. Show that there are consequences and the rule of law matters.

It’s one bullet point on a long list that got us here. Installing a Christian nationalist dictatorship has been the right’s goal for 50+ years.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s part of the problem. I think it’s exacerbated by the fact that the US basically legalized bribery with Citizens United.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 month ago:
The Democrats are cowards and fucking terrible politicians. They’re also owned by big money as much as the Republicans.
The entire US Congress except like 4 people needs to fucking go. Not just Schumer.

I went there in March. I thought it was pretty good but I was also starving lol. They have a lot of beer on tap that we didn’t have time to try.
Iceland as a whole rules. Highly recommend visiting for a week if you can.

- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 7 months ago:
I love Star Wars and usually have a half decent time with Ubi games. You can usually pick them up for 50% off physical like a month after release.
I have never put down a game quicker than Outlaws. It’s Ubisoft open world map icon slop at its worst. The first 4 hours of story are boring and repetitive. Every mission was “sneak into an Imperial base, oh shit something went wrong! Now escape!” Progression and abilities might as well not be there.
Interest in SW isn’t waning. Companies keep making bad SW content.

- Comment on Marathon is delayed 8 months ago:
The stolen art is a much bigger problem for Bungie in a legal sense. They (and other studios) put out mediocre shit all the time and promise to fix it. I’m sure the poor play test contributed but the stolen art is likely the cause for this delay.
They now have to scan every single asset in the game to make sure the stolen art is no longer there and that’s just the stolen art they know about. There might be more stolen art in there, who knows.
Now that the controversy is public the original artist could easily find a lawyer to go against Bungie if more stolen art is found in the final release. If Bungie gets sued they might have to pull the game from storefronts.

- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 11 months ago:
Yes, the media is suppressing news of protests because most of the media companies are owned by billionaires who’ve kissed the ring.
The protests that are happening are also smaller and somewhat decentralized. The media likes a big show and these protests don’t get clicks or eyeballs on screens.
There are many smaller protests happening such as the ones outside Tesla dealerships literally everywhere. This is having an effect on Teslas stock but TBD if it’ll have a lasting effect.
People are also attending town halls with their congresspeople and getting confrontational. This has led to many representatives cancelling town halls or screening for only Republicans like fucking cowards. Chuck Schumer just canceled his book tour because he knows he’ll get run out of every city he shows up in after his capitulation.
Pro Palestine protests continue on campuses.
There’s a lot to dig into on why there isn’t a large mass protest like 2020 but my simple answer is that things aren’t bad enough yet.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I don’t think anyone should be posting this defeatist ass shit from Reddit. For all we know it could have been posted by AI. Yes, shit is bad. It’s probably going to get A LOT worse. But we shouldn’t take it lying down.
Posts like this that just point out how bad things are without offering ANY action are exactly what Trump and Musk want. They want us to look at this crap, feel overwhelmed, and give up. Instead those who want to resist fascism should be planning ahead.
Every single little act of resistance counts.
I know it’s hard. I’m fucking stressed out, anxious, overwhelmed, and just TIRED but I’m working out the little things I’m going to do to push back and it’s making me feel slightly better.

Get someone you know to quit Twitter and/or Facebook. Get the fuck off those apps if you’re not already.
Start saving books, papers, information, etc.
Go to a protest if you can.
Support independent journalism.
Limit your spending. Stop buying anything but the essentials.
Most importantly, talk with the people you care about and trust and build a support network.
- Comment on Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election 1 year ago:
They’re beating this drum now so they can claim the election was stolen by “illegals” voting in swing districts. They just need to (at a minimum) challenge a couple thousand votes in 2-3 states.
