- Comment on OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us [404 Media] 2 days ago:
The only thing I don’t like it stolen artwork/voices/identities being used.
I also don’t like how I have to now hyper analyze everything I see and hear as an additional step to confirm if I’m seeing something legitimate or if it’s someone trying to mislead people.
I think my favorite parts of these tools are translation and simple word editing. Being able to prompt it to assist with various logic problems can also be nice.
So I feel conflicted. I guess like with any tool, it can be used properly or improperly

Yea totally! I actually really like when developers can do that. I think when artificial (or genuine) limitations are placed on art, projects or whatever, it can make them turn out to be better than if you had full freedom.
There’s a fine line between creativity and laziness that shouldn’t be crossed. But when it’s done really well I think it’s super cool
- Comment on Let's discuss: Like a Dragon / Yakuza 3 days ago:
I’ve been trying to work my way through them. I’ve currently finished 0, 1, and 2. I played 0 twice, though, and will likely end up playing it again, lol.
I’ve been finding it difficult to get through longer games recently. Mainly because I only play them on the weekends. They keep releasing one every year or so which is also crazy. It feels like they are just pumping them out now, so I’ll likely take another 3-5 years before I get through them all.
I really enjoyed how zero let’s you explore. It feels like they took their time to model each area as close to real life as possible. I don’t know how true that is, but from the photos I’ve seen, it seems that way. I really liked shenmue 1 and 2, and these games feel like the closest thing I’ll ever get to that experience again.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th 1 week ago:
I have been playing fortnite. And I’m kinda digging it. I completely despise their monetization, but I’ve been enjoying the gameplay loop. It’s a solid Battle Royale game. I find the pacing is pretty good in terms of how long you wait to engage other players.
I also like that they update it semi frequently. Usually, I don’t* like when games do that. But the core fundamentals stay the same while the extras (like the map and weapon/tools) change.
I didn’t think I would ever enjoy it.
I’ve also been playing Persona 3 Reload, and sniper elite 5. Both of those are pretty solid too. Sniper elite 5 felt weird at first because the game felt extra punishing until you unlock more options for stealth. I might have been playing it wrong.
Persona 3 reload is fun, but I feel like the two styles of gameplay don’t exactly mesh perfectly? They just don’t feel like they’re as robust as I want them to be (but the game has a decent amount of depth so idk how they would do that without overwhelming the player). I realize the game is a remake of an older title, though, so I’m assuming it’ll just get better as the series progressed.
- Comment on TikTok users particularly susceptible to Russian and Chinese misinformation, study finds 1 week ago:
This seems like a fundamental failure in education systems. People need to be taught how to research and find accurate information for themselves. I know when I was in school, we did that, but I have doubts that it’s being done globally or properly overall.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
This just seems like weird censorship/control to me. Unless they can come forward with hard evidence that TikTok is working for the Chinese government.
I just think of all of the actual hateful and concerning websites out there that stay up and nobody blinks an eye.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 week ago:
That’s very interesting. I’m not sure, to be honest.
I had assumed it was the weight as it feels heavy after a while. But it could be due to the lack of a secure grip with the joycons. I know the 3ds had similar issues where, after a while, it didn’t feel comfortable either. But I felt like I could use it much longer.
I didn’t realize valve went through so many iterations. That’s a really cool image. I’ll have to see if I can find better shaped joycons when the switch 2 releases and see it that helps
- Comment on First Look at Switch 2 2 weeks ago:
It looks pretty cool! It might be too big for handheld. I get sore from the regular switch. But I’m excited for new games. Just gotta wait a lil longer
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 2 weeks ago:
Dude high five. I have big hands, but even the regular switch feels uncomfortable after an hour or so. I have no idea how people are managing with the steam deck.
I was sad to see the new switch is larger lol. I’ll never use it handheld. It really makes me wish they just made a lighter NEW 3dsXL with better hand grips. They could call it the NEW NEW 3DSXL.
- Comment on First Look at Switch 2 2 weeks ago:
Usually, when it comes to these kinds of upgrades, I either do one of two things. If the two consoles can play together, I usually will keep the second. With Nintendo consoles, I will keep one and sit on it (usually until the next generation) and then mod it.
Or alternatively I’ll once in a blue moon, sell it to someone else for a fair price. It can help offset the cost of the new thing, and you know that your old device is still going to get used by someone else who can appreciate it.

Something tells me with a name like Flashes, there’s going to be a lot of flashing on it

All the more reason to leave anything Facebook related.
- Comment on After almost a decade, cult classic car building sim hits 1.0, and it's soaring on Steam 3 weeks ago:
Was this the game where the developer made the game less fun a few years ago? I can’t trmember what the issue was but it was something to do with a car crashing into you or something?
- Comment on People Think AI Images of Hollywood Sign Burning Are Real [404 Media] 3 weeks ago:
This kinda thing bothers me. As someone who isn’t familiar with the area, I could easily take a quick glance at that photo and think it was real too.

- Comment on Reliable tech leaker posts a ‘360-degree render’ of Nintendo’s new console [VGC] 3 weeks ago:
It was some weird stuff with the screen and audio issues. Probably weird software issues that were fixed with a patch.
This video isn’t the best example as it cherry picks and nitpicks a bit. But there’s some examples of the weird issues too.
youtu.be/Cb-srOfRqNc?si=1FlkmbL-LjXZp9aV
I actually don’t know how widespread the issues were or if they were overblown, but I remember seeing them pop up for the first couple of months after release. I didn’t really hear about any problems after that, so I don’t really know.
My assumption is that the likelihood of these issues repeating is very slim. They probably based the software and hardware off of the existing switch, so I would think it would be less buggy and more refined, but I guess we’ll have to see.
- Comment on Reliable tech leaker posts a ‘360-degree render’ of Nintendo’s new console [VGC] 3 weeks ago:
I’m actually super curious how easy/hard it’ll be to grab a console at launch. I’m also very curious if the switch 2 will have a stable launch without any weird launchday bugs like the original had.
- Comment on The Gentrification of Video Game History 3 weeks ago:
I’m curious once translation technology advances if one day we’ll get some kind of cultural bubble “pop” where suddenly everyone can enjoy global media without the language barriers.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Assassin's Creed 3 weeks ago:
I played up to AC3 and then felt like I had my fill with the series. I haven’t played Black Flag, but I always hear that’s the best one.
I remember wanting them to go the whole ninjas route as it seemed like the obvious choice. So I’m kind of interested in trying the latest game at some point. I feel like we don’t really get ninja games anymore, so I’m hoping it’ll be good
- Comment on After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare 5 weeks ago:
The interesting thing about BFV was that Dice got spread thin during development of the updates.
Battlefront 2 was not in good shape and started recieving a ton of fixes, and during that time is when BFV development slowed to a crawl.
I’m assuming disney was not happy with the negative press? But I have no real clue
- Comment on After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare 5 weeks ago:
So, one thing that’s funny is the one instance that popped into my head was when an EA exec actually recommended a feature that ended up making Anthem better (but also possibly worse?). There’s a famous story of how they were requested to add flying to the game, which added tons and tons of work and a good portion of dev time. But arguably was the best part of anthem. Unfortunately, they were unable to salvage it as we saw.

Once EA came into the picture, things went downhill quick.

What 2FA do you prefer? I’ve been thinking of looking for an alternative

Farcry and farcry 2 were my map editors of choice
- Comment on Far cry 5, where are the mods? 1 month ago:
Far cry 2 had the best fire and foliage. It lives rent free in my head lol. Only downside was the constant patrols trying to mess you up.

- Comment on CIA Is Openly Recruiting Informants on Social Media 1 month ago:
I never understood that. Nobody is going to want to work with America again in the future. They proved they can’t be trusted. Seemed pretty short-sighted when they’ll eventually need assistance again in the future

I’m surprised they kept going. I thought they would have stopped a while ago
