This kind of tech is going to mislead people into wars. It’s going to ruin digital information
- Comment on RUMOR: 'The Future of Xbox is Software Publishing' as Next Console Generation Faces Doubts 3 days ago:
I just hope that if “everything becomes an xbox” like they have stated they want to accomplish, that I’ll have access to my full library of titles via pc.
They’ve destroyed their brand through a million cuts over the past decade
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 4 days ago:
This issue hasn’t affected me yet. But I worry that it could affect us if these payment processors keep escalating. Like sure, right now, it’s NSFW. But then it’ll be anything they want. LGBT+ content? Too much violence? Critical of religion? They’ll just keep going
- Comment on Game Pass Price Hike Announced, Will Cost $30/Month For Ultimate 1 week ago:
It was a great deal when you could convert for a dollar.
From those super cheap years, I played a good majority of the catalog. If I had to estimate a total amount, it’s probably close to 300+ games I at least tried or finished.
The issue is they didn’t add enough to keep up and what they did add was a lot of old titles I’ve already played. It doesn’t make sense to pay what they’re asking now. It’s crazy. I’m very curious if their asking price will actually pay off for them.

Blows my mind that this the UK is doing this. I hope it gets reverted at some point.

OH this is exciting. That’s one of my favorite parts about the Xbox controller

They’re trying to turn it into truth social. I want to say people won’t fall for it, but I’m sure some will

Haha glad I could help. ProZD was truly ahead of his time with Vine.

I looked at it, thought “it looks fairly average, I wonder what’s unique about it”
I saw the price and my eyes went wide lol
- Comment on If AI Was Really Used to Censor ‘Together’ in China, It Represents a Potentially Terrifying Future 2 weeks ago:
The dangerous thing that I think AI and censorship cause is a lack of trust and feeling of cooperation within a nation. I believe it causes people to close themselves off and become distrustful of their government.
This might just be me projecting my own bias, but the rise of rampant misinformation and the general breakdown of society and the social safety net(or rather the breakdown of what minimal safety nets were there to begin with) has caused me to distrust and question anything I see. It has caused me to just double down my thinking based around my own personal worldview rather than accept what I am told or directly see.
It makes me a lot more resistant to go with the flow. I’m not sure if that’s beneficial for a countries government or not. I can’t see it being helpful, though, when I’m likely not going to believe what they tell me or view things with such high skepticism
- Comment on Logitech’s new light-powered keyboard doesn’t even need the sun 2 weeks ago:
I think if I was going to get a new keyboard, i would want to go one of two routes. Either super customizable, or go super silly overpriced. Have you seen that flux keyboard? It looks bonkers but it’s like $500 - $600
- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 2 weeks ago:
People lacking empathy really messes with me. Stealing is obviously morally wrong, but to steal from someone who is obviously very sick is next level fucked up. I’m glad people helped this guy out in the end. Really sad story
- Comment on Palworld will leave Early Access in 2026 with a ‘massive update’ planned for version 1.0 | VGC 2 weeks ago:
My only issue with palworld is the gameplay loop. Your options seem to be collecting pals, exploring, building bases, and then fighting the arena bosses. It feels like it has solid fundamentals, but it just doesn’t feel like a fully fleshed out game
- Comment on Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI 3 weeks ago:
I work at a tech company, and I am finding the whole AI thing really tiresome. It’s infected our work. It makes me want out, but I honestly don’t even know what I would do. I’ve only been in this industry for 6 ish years, but the thought of starting from scratch again seems daunting.
Looking at other jobs in the same area, they all want some kind of AI involvement now. It seems almost mandatory
- Comment on ‘I love you too!’ My family’s creepy, unsettling week with an AI toy 3 weeks ago:
You can see how Curio’s website could be mistaken for satire. The “girl” in the promotional video is Grimes, who has prominent “alien scar” tattoos and is inexplicably kneeling next to a knife.
I had to reread that part
- Comment on Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk | 404 Media 3 weeks ago:
I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They’re also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.
He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.
People should also participate in good faith and shouldn’t be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.
I don’t feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.
Idk man. It’s dumb
- Comment on Who could have predicted this? 5 weeks ago:
I tried to rollback this update and either somehow did something incredibly wrong, or windows decided to bug out. It slowed the PC horribly, and I had to reinstall windows 11. Such a pain

I know on my last phone, Facebook was installed by default and could only be deactivated. It was super dumb

Ohh man i want a playdate! They’re kind of expensive, but they seem so cool.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly planning a Nintendo Switch-style PlayStation 6 portable | VGC 5 weeks ago:
I would really like to see a company go back and make unique handhelds. Handhelds have become portable consoles, which is cool, but I miss the unique games that were built around limitations or unique hardware like the DS and 3ds. Also I would really like a handheld that doesn’t hurt when you hold it for extended periods of time.

Least expensive employees? Does he mean salary wise? I was always under the impression software devs were paid well

There’s been some incredible indies the past few years. I’m loving that people are going back and making games that look and feel like they could’ve been on the n64, ps1 or SNES.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th 1 month ago:
Thank you for the heads up! I’ll have to go check when the cutscene comes up so I don’t get caught off guard.
I ended up having to watch the MGS2 cutscene before the last boss, and one of the really long MGS3 cutscenes on youtube because I fell asleep while they were playing lol
- Comment on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon 1 month ago:
I’ve heard of this kind of AI usage a few times now and it seems so smart. You’re learning by teaching, but also being trained in AI literacy and the downfalls of AI. It encourages critical thinking and genuine learning at the same time.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th 1 month ago:
Well, I was trying to complete my second playthrough of Metal gear solid 2. But a bad Windows 11 update seems to have corrupted something, and now my PC is crawling.
So, attempting to reinstall/repair. Thanks Microsoft :3
Other than that Metal Gear has been awesome. I finished 3 the other week and have also been playing 4 on the ps3. Not super keen on the bombardment of cutscenes so far in 4, but it’s still pretty neat

- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 month ago:
At this point I think the cat is out of the bag. The internet isn’t private anymore. At the same time I question what happens if we start to self censor. On one hand I think it keeps a person safe, on the other hand I think it could just start to let authoritarian or fascists take a stronger hold when they’re the loudest voices.
