- Comment on A story-rich open-world FPS with Max Payne and Cyberpunk 2077 vibes? All right, you have my attention, No Law 16 hours ago:
If it’s an indie game, there’s a 95% chance you’ve never heard of the developer.
- Comment on Disney says Google AI infringes copyright “on a massive scale” 16 hours ago:
Further proof that copyrights, like patents, only benefit the rich.
Also, AI-generated material still falls into the monkey selfie legal realm, so they are going to have a helluva time trying to copyright what comes out.

Postal was a 90s edgelord game. It doesn’t really fit in this era. Even if they managed to make it, I doubt it would have sold well.
- Comment on BigStationW/ComfyUi-ConditioningNoiseInjection 6 days ago:
Some models such as Z-Image Turbo exhibit low seed variance
Honestly, that seems like a problem with the model. If you want similar images, that’s really the point of the seed.
- Comment on "Fewer people are playing Call of Duty this year than they have been before" Why has Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 seemingly sold below expectations? Is it simply not good enough? [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
- Comment on Ron Gilbert cancels RPG project due to lack of support and funding 1 week ago:
It’s a shame, but also, there’s billions of games and RPGs out already. The game industry is so oversaturated, it’s not even funny.
- Comment on Google is experimentally replacing news headlines with AI clickbait nonsense 1 week ago:
Did you know that BG3 players exploit children? Are you aware that Qi2 slows older Pixels? If we wrote those misleading headlines, readers would rip us a new one
No, they wouldn’t. Those are the types of clickbait garbage headlines you use already.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 1 week ago:
Because if fucking Apple of all companies starts taking gaming seriously, maybe Microsoft will again, too.
You can’t expect large megacorps to “do the right thing”, no matter how you define that. Linux is the only path towards open-source software and promotion.

- Comment on Cities: Skylines upheaval: Developer and publisher announce “mutual” breakup 3 weeks ago:
The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.
Neither sides of that look good.

Posts article on social media. How ironic!
- Comment on We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one 5 weeks ago:
I feel like this would be as batshit crazy as handing the beloved Dune series to a madman like Alejandro Jodorowsky.
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 5 weeks ago:
Or torrents. If piracy’s on the rise (again) as a replacement for streaming, you can sure as hell bet that it was already replacing sites like PornHub way before that.
- Comment on We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one 5 weeks ago:
Enter The Matrix was one of the rare exceptions. That game genuinely slapped.
The game was glued together with duct tape. And not the good kind.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 month ago:
I’ve been playing around with bazzite a bit, and for sure, i can run a lot of games on it, but you often end up googling which launcher to use, which settings to use, … And then even if you find something, it doesn’t always work.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Launch Steam.
- Install game.
- Hit Play.
Zero issues.

So, ban itself? You can’t hire corruption to clean out corruption.

I’m glad this effort finally has the support it needs, compared to six months ago when it was practically on life support.
- Comment on 'Points, clicks, and misery' - Civvie11 plays I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream 1 month ago:
PushingUpRoses and Grimbeard both did good reviews on this game. Glad to see a boomer shooter tuber like Civvie 11 trying it out.
- Comment on Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice 1 month ago:
I don’t want to use LLMs. I feel the majority of use cases for LLMs are inauthentic, lazy, unhelpful, and uncreative.
Well, that’s just your opinion. Don’t accuse everybody else who are using it as evil psychopaths, under some “LLM psychosis”.
- Comment on Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice 1 month ago:
It’s foolish to think this will just blow over, and the tech will magically disappear, no matter how you think about its ethics.
It’s better to take control of the technology directly, promote open-source models, push local usage, use it as a tool for the people, not as a tool for corporations. If you don’t take control of the situation, the world will take control of it for you.

So, not heroin?
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 1 month ago:
That only helps some, but not enough. I would bitch and report this article to the moderators, but the moderator is the one who posted the goddamn article!
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 1 month ago:
It wasn’t. It was on a “Family Medicine” subreddit, which the name alone gives off red flags.
Don’t get medical advice from Reddit. Don’t even have “medical advice” subreddits. The bot was probably doing the best it could with the information available. But, of course, I can’t get the full context, because OP linked to a paid article.

Ahhh, yes, the “stick your head in the sand until it blows over” strategy. Because that’s always worked, right?
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 months ago:
Comment: The intent is to highlight the stupidity of the tariffs.
Your Reply: I don’t get it (as in, “I don’t get the intent… I don’t understand why tariffs are bad”)
Me: Explaining why tariffs are bad.
Your Reply: Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.
Me: <not sure if stupid, asshole, troll, or all three>
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 months ago:
People dislike having to educate the same basic lessons over and over again, when it is very easy to search why tariffs are bad. It is not a community where people are going to spoonfeed you information that you didn’t even directly ask for.
The simple answer is because we live in a global economy and you can’t possible make everything that needs to be made in a single country. The more complex answer can be found by reading articles about it. Take this one, which was the first hit I found on a web search:
The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine.

This is a falsehood, because they are relying on an unreliable source: Statcounter.

What the hell is this website? Why isn’t this a news link?
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 2 months ago:
Going private could have been a net positive. But, not from venture capitalists, and certainly not from the Saudis.
Also, taking on this much debt as part of the buyout is just asking to be gutted and carved out, complete with record-breaking layoffs.
