- Comment on Arc Raiders review - a smartly designed extraction shooter marred by one inexcusable decision 1 day ago:
They also make the game “The finals” which also uses AI voices. If I recall correctly, they paid some people to offer their voices to be used for AI generated voice lines.
I wish they didn’t though because the rest of the game is really good. It’s like they took the look of mirrors edge and combined it with battlefield gameplay in a smaller map design and no vehicles.
- Comment on [RANT] Why is so much coverage of "AI" devoted to this belief that we've never had automation before (and that management even really wants it)? 1 week ago:
Amazon just laid off 14,000 workers, and they’re claiming they can do their jobs with AI.
They’re already making AI commercials for TV and AI images for advertising, and there was a post here about AI music that hit the top 100 played on Spotify or something. Now, how cost-effective and efficient these all are? I have no idea.
I think there’s both overhype and reality. I think it’s a bit of both. Companies want people to believe AI is the way forward. But I also think part of this is smoke and mirrors. I actually don’t know how much of it is truth and until we start hearing more first-hand accounts, I feel like it’s very up in the air.

The one thing I’ve personally found, is that buying devices with less points of failure has been helpful when possible.

Lol I’ve often heard the other movies weren’t as good but I’ve only seen the first. Are they that bad?
- Comment on 10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea. 2 weeks ago:
Yup exactly. They stop crimes of opportunity
- Comment on Cooperative indie darling RV There Yet cruises past 1.3 million sales [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
I have been enjoying these multiplayer games. They’re pretty silly. Also, I really appreciate that these indie titles have a much lower price point.
Only problem is I don’t have time to enjoy them all. Too many games!

I love this guy. His videos have shown me to never trust locks
- Comment on Halo community lead wears PlayStation t-shirt to announce: ‘Halo is on PlayStation going forward’ [VGC] 2 weeks ago:
I’m really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If “everything” is indeed becoming an xbox, then I’m hoping this becomes a reality. I’m disappointed they’re moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.
- Comment on [Epilepsy issue] YouTube AI Filter Is Making My Videos Dangerous To Watch by Anton Petrov - Oct 26, 2025 (Video, 6:09 min) 2 weeks ago:
My personal guess was to get people “used” to AI video. If you slap a smear over everything, it makes it look similar
Alternatively, it could have been an attempt to clean up video to make it look better. However, the implementation and where I’ve seen it seems to make little sense. It generally makes everything look worse, so I have no clue.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years [VGC] 2 weeks ago:
Whenever these massive tech companies started laying people off during 2020 was when I went “well shit”. I was only a year into my job and struggled to find something even somewhat relevant. Tech workers have become a dime a dozen now it seems. Heck all workers seem to have. Now with the whole AI thing I’m trying to think of what I can pivot to.
Tech is ruined for me personally. I don’t want to touch AI. I’ve been considering some kind of business i can start myself or like…I don’t know really. I’m just burnt out and don’t know what the future will look like. There’s so much uncertainty

- Comment on Counter Strike 2 update wipes nearly $2 billion off skin market value by making fancy knives and gloves easier to get [Eurogamer] 2 weeks ago:
Oooh I feel like that might be a bad idea for valve, but might be good for everyone else. I don’t personally play, but I would assume some of their player base is invested in the gambling. If they feel discouraged, it might be enough for them to stop.
- Comment on The Unlikely Development Of The First Splinter Cell 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Lol that could be the newest horror movie for Halloween. “Education on Elm Street”.

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? 4 weeks 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

Bf3 definitely had a buggy launch but was fixed decently quick if I recall correctly? Faster than bf4 was

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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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’ 4 weeks 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

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 5 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 5 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 5 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.
