Some of these series are alright if you skip every other game. After two-three releases they will have accumulated some innovation.
- Comment on bad board games 2 weeks ago:
It’s about landlordism specifically, not capitalism. Used to be called “The Landlord’s Game”.
- Comment on The low-cost creative revolution: How technology is making art accessible to everyone 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, there’s a lot of “art” in video games that no other industry would recognize as such. Brick textures. That kind of thing. I’m perfectly okay with using AI for these necessary but unimportant tasks. Same with using stock assets. These assets just have to be good enough for nobody to notice they’re there.

And tbf they’d be correct. Best you can hope for is a laugh.
- Comment on Valve opening pre-orders for new hardware 3 weeks ago:
Damn. Thought they launched something new.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 4 weeks ago:
Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?
- Comment on We live wasted lives 5 weeks ago:
Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you’ve specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It’s safe and all, but so so boring
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 5 weeks ago:
I think the kind of plastic used in bottles is one of very few that actually are profitable to recycle. PET, I think. This is actually something recycling companies want. Most other plastic is just burned or shipped somewhere.
- Comment on MrBeast scraps AI YouTube thumbnail generator days after announcing it: 'If creators don't want the tools, no worries' 5 weeks ago:
If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

The tusks know where they are because they know where they are not

You didn’t have to write this.
- Comment on I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking) 1 month ago:
Would love to block .ml. The stuff coming out of there is just too dumb.
- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 1 month ago:
I’d be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 month ago:
Tge principal is not necessarily any smarter than the teachers. Often it’s the opposite.
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 2 months ago:
Kinda agree, but the consoles already are alternatives to Windows. Don’t really see what’s super special about the Steam Deck, tbh.
Surprised Microsoft hasn’t made some sort of DRM to prevent Xbox studio games from being played on Proton, though.

That’s vile

- Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet 2 months ago:
Try using Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time. Bluesky is a twitter clone and perfect replacement. Mastodon is an excellent micro-blogging platform, but has none of the features people actually liked about twitter. People love recommendation algorithms and quote tweet dunking. That’s the core of what it’s all about. Mastodon is glorified RSS, which is great if you miss those days.
- Comment on When you see danger coming 2 months ago:
This is so great and so bad at the same time. We’re gonna have to go back to using tar and shit for things we actually want to last. That’s not going to be cheap…
- Comment on Every post in Ye Power Tripping Bastards 2 months ago:
Worth noting that the y in “ye” is not actually a y: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles
Tldr: “Ye” is pronounced identically to “the”. The “th” sound used to have its own letter.
- Comment on doctors 2 months ago:
Now we have weight loss drugs, though. Those are apparently unbelievably effective
- Comment on Please choose one 3 months ago:
This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping
- Comment on Racism nas gone too woke! 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t say that the ruling class loves racism, but when the people are looking for someone to blame they’d understandably rather throw minorities under the bus than lie down themselves.

All modern motherboards support ReBAR. Not sure why you’d be against it.
- Comment on Joe 3:16 8 months ago:
Yeah, the moral high ground of Biden vs Trump is still immense, but it’s just a bit less steep than it used to be.
- Comment on Bluesky under EU scrutiny for missing user data • The Register 8 months ago:
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
