  I’m not a fan. He looks weird

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Megathread⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I am very curious how they’re going to tackle regional pricing on games. $80 USD converts to $115 Canadian. No other console is pricing their games that way. At least not yet (thanks nintendo) But that would be a $25-35 increase compared to Ps5 and Xbox games.

  For being a family console, it seems like a very weird decision when we’ve been hit with such bad inflation and wage stagnation in the past 5 years. I cannot see as families springing for a switch 2 as they did for the switch 1.

  I don’t know what to expect. My expectations are kind of low, but I’m hoping they pull something out of their sleeve to surprise us

  I have visited reddit only a small number of times since I left. But holy shit it’s unbearable now. AI answers everywhere. What’s the point?

  I hadn’t tried it on mobile but I’m not seeing the settings for it either. I might be blind

  I didn’t realize Firefox could do that! Been using it for a year now lol. Very cool. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you very much!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a way around the pay wall?

  Can’t seem to catch a break, huh? Why can’t we just have nice things?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom horrified by Character.AI chatbots posing as son who died by suicide - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol yes, that was going to be the one downside I was going to mention. I wasn’t sure if it was just unique to my situation, but I found it would lead me down a logical path. It would ask me if I had tried various solutions.

  Eventually, I would hit a point where it wouldn’t know where to go any further, and it would land on “here’s some things you can do” but those options would be things I was actively trying and failing with.

  So that was fun. In a way, it was great at confirming that I had thought of all the logical options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom horrified by Character.AI chatbots posing as son who died by suicide - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used one called PI which I’m assuming is some kind of branch off of chat gpt or something.

  You don’t have to sign up or anything (for now) which is cool. But I assume they harvest all our data and information.

  I tested to see if I could break it once, and from my brief tests, it seemed to never break out of character or tell me something bad or negative, which I thought was interesting(and good!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if we can prevent it entirely. I suppose all it would take is one bad actor to get a bot set up, and it would be off to the races.

  I would hope that we would be able to figure out ways of identifying real people online. Surely, there’s gotta be some way we can alleviate the issue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My hope is that people will just start using social media that specifically tries to avoid AI generated content. Where they know they are directly interacting with real people. I think what’s frustrating for me is that we’re seeing this technology being used for bad reasons. I think AI has specific use cases where it could be extremely useful? But I think there’s far more ways it’s being used for garbage right now.

  I’ve noticed when I’m watching YouTube videos specifically. I’ve started to gravitate slightly towards videos that have lower production values. Or that seem a lot more casual and genuine.

  It’s supposed to be, but I think the console releases might have been delayed?

  This came at a great time. I was just thinking about setting this up the other day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That too! Makes very little sense to have a product that messes up as frequently as it does while also being so costly to the environment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only Gane where I thought AI was interesting was the one where you are a vampire, and you had to convince people to let you come into their houses so you could eat them.

  Additionally, I could see how it would work for a “Hey you, Pikachu!” Or “seaman” game. But otherwise, I’m fairly reluctant on any kind of AI stuff. It just seems…gross. idk how to describe it but it just makes me uncomfortable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christie's First-Ever AI Art Auction Earns $728,000, Plus Controversy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best part of artwork is when you can see an artists personality through their art. Because Ai art is just stolen from other people who have poured their energy into their craft, it completely ruins the point.

  It feels cheap. But because of this garbage, it’s also made me appreciate real art so much more.

  Ooooh I really hope we get the underground games at some point. I really liked those. I’ve never played the first 4 games. I should probably do that

  Is this office work? Please adopt me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Sergey Brin urges workers to the office ‘at least’ every weekday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You would have to be super human to work 60 hours a week and actually be productive.

  Like maybe if your work was actually legitimately your hobby. Something that you absolutely loved and were addicted to doing. But even then, I can’t even do my hobbies 60 hours a week. That’s legitimately insane.

  The only thing I can think of that I could do for 60 hours a week is sleep. But I haven’t been able to do that for years now because of work-life imbalance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of Feb 23rd⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried no man’s sky again. I think I’m just past the intro as I got to the space station trading place. It’s interesting.

  I have also been trying the new fortnite update and dirt rally 2

  I’m thinking I’ll probably get the new monster hunter this week? I’ve been saving a gift card for a while, so that seems like it would be a fun pick. I feel like I have so many games I wana play, but not nearly enough time in my day lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This kinda sucks to see. Less competition is a bad thing for everyone. Maybe it’s just me hanging onto every bit of nostalgia I have, but the Xbox generations were special.

  I know that it can’t like…physically remove any of the good times I had with the systems over the years. But these consoles have been part of my life since 2001. So many friends and memories were created with these systems. In a way, it feels like your friend is dying, LOL. I know that’s extremely over dramatic, but like damn.

  On a more serious note, I am extremely curious what this means going forward and how they will handle digital purchases a decade from now.

  Dang it. Why can’t more wealthy people just be chill and not psychopaths. I get that statistically, they are more likely to succeed due to lack of morality. But damn.

  It would be cool if somebody nice acquired the businesses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar has some of the most restrictive mission design I've ever experienced⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a lot of my creativity is stunted because I don’t generally notice these issues in rockstars games until someone points them out lol. I think it would be pretty cool if they gave people more choice and options

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I only recently experienced the luxury of higher frame rates.

  I’ll put up with 30. I usually don’t notice it after a while, especially if it’s steady.

  60 is preferred, and I always aim for performance if I can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Blames Google Algorithm Changes For Not Hitting User Growth.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Which one? I feel like there were multiple lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m very curious how this one will pan out. I tried Outer Worlds, and I dropped it after about 10 hours or so. It felt oddly empty to me. I figure I should give it another shot at some point.

  I hope this game is good!
