Hah wouldn’t that be something.
Tbh they don’t need Niantic to do this. They can collect that info straight from phones. Back doors go brrrr (is that meme still relevant?)

Damn yeah that’ll do it. Kids can be ruthless!
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 1 day ago:
Yeah “uhms” and the dreaded “like” are also an issue for me too. I would like to eliminate it from my vocabulary entirely. I make videos and live stream, and I notice it a lot when I watch playback. It’s pretty terrible. Did you have a hard time ridding them from your speech? I should try fixing that.

Shit. My ignorance is showing lol.
Thanks for the correction. I’m about to go on a deep dive of reading now :)

Yeah I mean, idk what happened there. Brain wasn’t computing well I guess.
- Comment on Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die." 2 days ago:
This is why I think people need to understand that it’s not AI. These companies using AI as a buzzword are shooting themselves in the foot.
Guy wouldn’t have been freaked out if he understood how these systems work

I think the issue is possibly rooted deeper than just usage on steam. I mean I know steam could do more to fight it, but I mean…has said US senator looked at the newly elected government and the people that voted for said government? I mean damn dude.
The rot is deep and is very soon going to be considered “default” behavior.

Absolutely not, but let me dream lol

Oh, for sure. I’m curious if when we get to that point, we’ll need some kind of universal basic income or something.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I would love if I could get a LLM to do my work. Fortunately/unfortunately it won’t happen any time soon.
I thought with the rise of computers it would reduce the amount of work we would have to do. Haha
I’m curious how this might alter how we work 10-15 years from now.
- Comment on Suigi now holds the world record in each of the 5 main speed running categories of Super Mario 64 4 days ago:
Forgive my ignorance, but is Suigi new in the scene? I remember Puncayshun and Cheese, but it’s been a few years since I kept up with mario64 speedruns
- Comment on Fortnite OG is coming back permanently in December 1 week ago:
I wasn’t a fan of fortnite until recently. Now I’m kind of into it. I played last season, and now this season, and I’m not sure how to feel about this particular one.
I’m finding people are hiding more when you get down to the last handful of people, and that kinda causes the gameplay to flatline at the later stages of the round. I find the perfect spot is when there’s a bit of organized chaos when everyone is actively fighting it out.
In the last season, it was harder to hide because there was at least one person with a radar ping type buff that revealed player locations. It kept things at a faster pace
- Comment on Sockpuppet network impersonating Americans and Canadians amplifies pro-Israel narratives on X 1 week ago:
I assume everything is bots, so I only check out streamers, youtubers, and artists on Twitter. It was bad before the Musk takeover but now it’s borderline unusable lol
- Comment on What type of game do you want to see? 1 week ago:
I’ve recently noticed that the tactical shooter genre has kinda fallen out of favor. Games like ghost recon, socom navy seals etc. Aren’t being made anymore. I think it’s a shame that some genres go dormant for a while.
But more than that, I just want to see developers take more risks again. Indie games have been the exception here, but I remember there being so many unique games in the early 2000’s.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 1 week ago:
Brooo you can get the title of shithead? Why would you wana be labeled as straight when you could be shithead instead? lol. That’s what I would go for haha
- Comment on Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users 3 weeks ago:
Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent

I can’t find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’ve really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.
I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn’t take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It’ll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back
- Comment on need helpbuiltding a PC, not sure where to ask 4 weeks ago:
Hmm, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I guess for me, I don’t feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.
I know I want to get the end result, but it’s just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it’s just fun games when I’m learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested
- Comment on need helpbuiltding a PC, not sure where to ask 4 weeks ago:
Thank you so much! I’ll have to give it a go!
- Comment on The harsh truth of Forza Horizon players: ramming 4 weeks ago:
Oh! So this actually might be caused by bad net code. I remember years back during horizon 4, or early on when 5 released, people would play online races with friends, and a good portion of the time, the ramming wasn’t actually intentional. Both people would record the race and one friend would see the other randomly stop or go flying and the other person would see their friends’ car send them off course.
The game just thinks the other cars are in different locations than they should be. On the other players’ screen, it’s possible they didn’t even see you next to them. It can appear that you were behind them the whole time.
It’s why I wish they would offer a ghost mode where you can’t ram, but can just race each other. If they can’t make car interaction accurate, then I don’t think they should bother with that feature (or at least make modes where it’s optional)

I’ll have to take a look, thank you! I guess videos are more fun than just reading the information haha
- Comment on need helpbuiltding a PC, not sure where to ask 4 weeks ago:
Ohh thanks! I’ll have to check that out! I didn’t even think about checking for a game lol
I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I’ve done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

I feel like this has been the case for everything the past few years. Grocery prices seem to be following the same trend
- Comment on Can anyone help me identify this Xbox controller? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I was also surprised to hear ps5 controllers went up in price. It made me sad
- Comment on Can anyone help me identify this Xbox controller? 4 weeks ago:
100%! I love controllers that use AA’s. So much easier to replace the batteries. I’m dreading the day I need to go hunt down replacement batteries for things like my DS, 3ds, Playstation controllers, etc. It’s probably not hard to find replacements. But it requires more work than just whipping out some rechargeable AA’s and calling it a day lol
- Comment on need helpbuiltding a PC, not sure where to ask 4 weeks ago:
This seems like a dumb question, but ima ask it anyway. Is there a more interactive or “fun” way to learn the process of building a pc? I know there are certain compatibility issues parts can have with each other, and I want to learn how to do all this. But I feel like the info is really dry, and instead of just memorizing information, I want to make it fun, lol.
- Comment on Which unplayed game in your library are you most looking forward to playing eventually? 5 weeks ago:
I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I’ll definitely have to make some time to play it.
I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it’s like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, “That’ll take me 6 months to finish.” Haha maybe I’ll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time
- Comment on Recommend me your favorite linear games! 5 weeks ago:
People listed Mirrors Edge, and I would like to also recommend it. It might take some time to adjust to the controls but it’s fun! I replay it a lot. I’ve lost count but I’ve been replaying it since release.
Titanfall 2 was a fun campaign. Also cool movement mechanics.
One game that I think got average ish scores but I enjoyed was Pneuma: Breath of Life. Idk why but I thought the puzzles were kinda fun and it was pretty enough.
The Stanley Parable
Catherine
(Kinda visual novel ish) AI Somnium files was fun.
