- Comment on The Unlikely Development Of The First Splinter Cell 1 day ago:
It always surprises me when I read about people getting hired with no experience. That seems unheard of today. You need the perfect combination of educated enough, but not too much, and maybe giving up your firstborn child to secure a job, lol.
- Comment on Major AWS outage takes down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, and more 2 days ago:
I feel like the internet should probably be hosted in as many different servers and physical locations as possible. It seems alarming that these things happen as often as they do
- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable 5 days ago:
Lol that could be the newest horror movie for Halloween. “Education on Elm Street”.
- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable 5 days ago:
I think that’s the scariest part. The idea that people will stop learning.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 1 week ago:
I’ve heard of it and seen that people enjoy it, but outside of that, I don’t really know much about the game. I’ll have to maybe give it a try one day. I do really appreciate when games have a carefully crafted gameplay systems
- Comment on Battlefield 6 hits EA’s highest ever concurrent player count on Steam, beating Apex Legends | VGC 1 week ago:
Bf3 definitely had a buggy launch but was fixed decently quick if I recall correctly? Faster than bf4 was
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 1 week ago:
Hmm insane depressed failure you say? Maybe he’s closer to me than I thought lol!
In that case maybe I just need to lean into him being a much more defined stereotype like being dumb and strong or something haha
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 1 week ago:
I feel like I’ll need to try it again sometime. I found it annoying that I couldn’t seem to self insert lol. Might have been how my character was set up.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 1 week ago:
Hmm I think most rogue likes. But that’s probably a me issue. I just don’t enjoy having to restart and play the same gameplay loop again. Hades was the closest one that I seemed to enjoy more as I liked the story bits between each run. I recently started cult of the lamb and I enjoy the base building so that might help too.
It’s interesting that you mention DS3. I quite enjoyed my time with it(once I got my bearings. I had to restart a number of times) but I’m super curious if I would enjoy it as much if I went back and played DS1 again to compare.
I can completely understand the environment complaint. I really liked sekiro for all the varied environments and themes.
- Comment on Why Conservatives Are Attacking ‘Wokepedia’ 1 week ago:
I find it reassuring that Wikipedia is doing it’s best to try and maintain truth and accountability. I agree they should be hosted in a different place.
Side thought/my own ramblings here: Has there ever been hosting where the information is scattered across the world rather than one localized spot? That seems like it might be helpful, but I honestly don’t know enough about site hosting
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 1 week ago:
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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
- Comment on Image site Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine 3 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on Trump Makes It Very Clear They’re Going To Turn TikTok Into A Right Wing Propaganda Machine 3 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on Logitech’s new light-powered keyboard doesn’t even need the sun 3 weeks ago:
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 3 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 3 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 4 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 4 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 4 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 5 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 5 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? 1 month 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
- Comment on Meta might be secretly scanning your phone's camera roll - how to check and turn it off 1 month ago:
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.
