- Comment on Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo 19 hours ago:
LOL, people unsubscribing is working. I’m shocked it took them this long to react to this, though. The pricing is ridiculous. They would have to slash it in half or more to gain back the number of people lost. Additionally, they keep adding and removing the same games? The value proposition seems low if you have already played the existing catalog.
It seems funny to me that they put all their eggs in one basket and then decided to light the basket on fire and smash it with a hammer.

Thanks! I had no idea you could connect that controller to a PC thats really cool. My PC should be able to handle it find so I’ll have to check it out!

You ever play any GCN in your travels? Wondering if I’m better off hacking my wii (due to the GCN being natively built in) or if emulation through something like dolphin might be better.
Never got to experience the gamecube all that much so im open to ideas. I do have one of those nice wireless wavebird controllers which has me slightly gravitating to hacking the wii

Absolutely lol

I realized recently that I enjoy reading peoples janky personal messages online. You know it’s a real person. Or at least it probably is.

Can’t seem to win. Even if you own all the consoles and everything these companies are making everyone jump through hoops
- Comment on Pokémon Pokopia | Review Thread 5 weeks ago:
I swear I also heard this was only switch 2, but I could be wrong. I know tomadachi life will have a switch 1 version
- Comment on Keen bosses, strange mistakes and a looming threat: workers on training AI to do their jobs 1 month ago:
My job recently shifted me to a new task. The hired 4 or 5 people to do my old work.
What I’m trying to say is that they’ll fire as many people as they want and or say that even though the work is being done “more efficiently” they’ll just offload more and more work onto employees
- Comment on I'm going full time as a bus driver in a virtual version of Spain in this newly revealed simulator 1 month ago:
I swear this is like a ton of jobs. I would mind being a mailman or delivery driver. Except the quotas and hours would kill me.
- Comment on AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases 1 month ago:
This video has really interesting perspectives on this topic. It includes quotes from various military leaders at the time, with their consensus being that nuclear strikes were not needed to force the Japanese surrender.
- Comment on AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases 1 month ago:
I think the big issue is the personification of AI. They’re not people and dont have the same amount of reasoning as a person.
Ai should really just be used for specific use cases like a tool. A hammer is just for hammering.
I guess the main issue is at that point AI should specifically be used more like a computer application rather than a Swiss army knife. So the way it’s commonly used in its chatbot format isn’t necessarily a good or safe way to implement and use it.
- Comment on 12-hour days, no weekends: the anxiety driving AI’s brutal work culture is a warning for all of us 1 month ago:
Ahhh, my apologies. I completely missed your intended meaning. It seems a lot more obvious reading it the second time. Thanks for clarifying. I agree that it seems our governments have different priorities. I hope every day that people learn from countries that treat their citizens better.
- Comment on 12-hour days, no weekends: the anxiety driving AI’s brutal work culture is a warning for all of us 1 month ago:
It’s not even different priorities. I’m convinced it’s indoctrinated wage slavery. Some who live under it embrace it, and other endure it depending on their perspective. I suppose some reject it entirely, too, if they’re able.
- Comment on Amazon blames human employees for an AI coding agent’s mistake | Two minor AWS outages have reportedly occurred as a result of actions by Amazon’s AI tools 1 month ago:
It blows my mind that people are going forward with this AI nonsense and that it has infected key infrastructure. I feel like im taking crazy pills here. I could kind of understand if it actually worked. Like if it genuinely worked as well as they said? I could totally understand it. I would still question it, but it would make more sense.
- Comment on Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is boring and dangerous 1 month ago:
I would much rather read someone’s random janky ass writing than whatever chatgpt spits out.
- Comment on Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel 1 month ago:
Face ID technology should be illegal. Any negatives outweigh any potential positive
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 2 months ago:
Ima be honest here. The last messaging service I used was Facebook back in 2012 prior to discord. And prior to Facebook was MSN messenger lol I really just don’t know what’s available. I’ll have to go do some reading
- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 2 months ago:
This is going to be such a pain in the ass. They already have had issues with security. This is such a massive can of worms
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 2 months ago:
I suppose the next question is where will everyone go? If they wanted to keep kids safe this ain’t it because they’ll go somewhere else anyways. So it’s a lose/lose for everyone.
Possibly a win for companies if they want to harvest data/sell it.
- Comment on Next generation Xbox may launch in 2027 2 months ago:
Agreed. I forgot to mention too that with windows 11 microslop has been prioritizing imaginary gain rather than genuine human work. The whole company feels like it’s a mess, and a drastic shift has occurred. Even compared to a decade ago, it’s drastic. 10 years ago, I thought they were iffy on some of their choices, but they seemed to want to fix windows 10 and the Xbox brand. But it’s only gotten worse now it seems lol
- Comment on Next generation Xbox may launch in 2027 2 months ago:
I don’t really trust it, to be honest. I have had an xbox from the original to the series X. But for the past 5 or 6 years, they have been extremely radio silent on a future for the brand. They focused completely on gamepass and nothing else. They shut down so many studios. It just feels like its a gamble
- Comment on The Switch just surpassed the DS as Nintendo's best-selling console ever 2 months ago:
I feel like the DS and 3DS were much more innovative. People are missing out

- Comment on LG's new subscription program charges up to £277 per month to rent a TV 2 months ago:
Lol of course thats a thing. Welp there goes my big brain ideas
- Comment on LG's new subscription program charges up to £277 per month to rent a TV 2 months ago:
Okay at first I was wondering “who the hell would want to do this?” But then I thought maybe its like…if you need a TV for an event? Being able to rent out a large TV might be helpful? But like thats so absolutely niche.
But its the only way I could ever see it make sense. If you needed a very large flat screen only for a few days or something you could rent it instead of paying a few thousand.
- Comment on Some PCs are failing to boot after this month's Windows Update 2 months ago:
Microslop needs to figure their shit out. I think 11 has been worse than any previous “bad” windows version. I’ve never had such an unreliable experience with an OS before.
I would swap, but I’m forced/still have reason to use it for various programs/work.
