If Lemmy gets big, it’s going to be a problem. Same for mastodon.

Moderation and support teams are one of the most difficult and expensive problems in running social media platforms.
- Comment on What is a Lemmy user called? A lemming? 1 week ago:
Definitely not lemmitor.

Dead Rising Remaster Remade Re-cut.
- Comment on PlayStation To Require Age Verification For Certain Online Features 1 month ago:
Some companies already use this heuristic to skip asking.
- Comment on PlayStation To Require Age Verification For Certain Online Features 1 month ago:
Platforms should always have that be the first check before falling back to multiple other data sources.

That’s the MTG we know.
- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 1 month ago:
Free to play, and “ever games” or whatever you want to call them. Solid classics that are easy to return to for years. Left 4 Dead 2 is a great example.

- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
What attitude do I have? I’m into VR, I love Valve. I’m excited for the Steam Frame. I’ve met people who work there.
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
I’m just clarifying.
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
“Fault” isn’t an attack here. No need for the weird analogy.
- Comment on "Any update is a bonus not a right": Peak co-developer Landfall reminds impatient fans it's not a live-service studio 1 month ago:
Patches are also a tool to keep a game in the news cycle in more recent times.
So much comes out every single week. It’s quite a lot of noise.

I don’t think DS is first party? I might be wrong. It came to Macs and iPhones too.
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
Yeah, if anything, this is Valve’s fault. They upturned the playing field and proved a new path.
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
Neither the price increases or the fact that Microsoft is giving up on a pure console are Sony’s fault.
It’s still unfortunate that this is happening. PC is no longer neutral ground.
- Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time. 1 month ago:
See, this is a toxic attitude. They are not charging an outrageous price. It’s not a subscription. It’s not an unfinished game. It’s not locked to the Epic Games store. It’s being actively maintained. It’s not being sold by a toxic publisher like EA. It’s an indie developer. Etc. etc.
It’s just a simple product, with a simple price. And you insist you have the right to obtain a copy of it without paying because they don’t offer discounts. This just isn’t reasonable. You don’t have a right to a copy of this game. It’s entertainment. It’s a product that those who work on it derive their lively hood from. It’s not food. It’s not shelter. It’s not healthcare.
- Comment on Why do people call Michael's house from GTA 5 a mansion? 2 months ago:
Yes. This is either a bot farming account history, or someone reposting for internet attention/points.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Says He Gets Where The DLSS 5 Outrage Is Coming From: ‘I Don’t Love AI Slop Myself’ 2 months ago:
Everyone should be saying even more provocative and violent things. More often in more places. It gets upvotes and views and increases time on the platform.
Let it rip.
- Comment on NVIDIA confirms DLSS 5 uses a 2D frame plus motion vectors as input 2 months ago:
This was intuitive and obvious to anyone paying attention to AI and who knows video game engines.
Calculating each mesh or surface in the scene instead of one big collective pass would be even more demanding. And will likely beyond their capabilities for a very long time.
- Comment on NVIDIA Launches Nemotron Coalition of Leading Global AI Labs to Advance Open Frontier Models 2 months ago:
It’s like green washing.
Google does it with Android too.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 2 months ago:
They likely want to start collecting data. So the need to get something rushed out so that they can build up the pile of data they will need to build out and refine this feature in time for the launch of their next console.

- Comment on We've freed Cookie's Bustle from copyright hell | Video Game History Foundation 2 months ago:
Classics of Game [YT] appears to be working through the game right now. Their channel format is absurd clips from obscure games. So it’s a perfect fit.
I’m not familiar with the channel enough to know if they have been previously hit with a take down. (And I didn’t read the article link)
- Comment on Dubai's 'cringe' influencers have a new rule: Don't mention the war 2 months ago:
Traditional media is heavily regulated in the UAE, but these days everyone — not just journalists — has been put on notice.
After the war erupted, authorities announced that people who shared misinformation or even something that “results in inciting panic among people” could be prosecuted. Only officially verified information is safe to post.
This tough, arbitrary edict effectively means the country’s government gets to decide what is and is not true.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 3 months ago:
I really think that part of what is changing is that the hardware people run games on is becoming less and less differentiated in both power class and capability. And the hardware that does bring a large performance gap is very expensive.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 months ago:
Yeah, I’m glad I’m not alone in having that vibe about Phil.
- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 3 months ago:
It does, but not in the sense that it “repairs” them or whatever. There are plenty of natural fibers and styles of clothing that would be a wrinkled mess eventually if they were not ironed. You may be use to synthetic fabrics or blends of synthetic and cotton that don’t wrinkle in the same way. And by synthetic, I mean petroleum based fabrics.

Dude just drop a fucking link.
