  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 ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

  Ohh man i want a playdate! They’re kind of expensive, but they seem so cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is reportedly planning a Nintendo Switch-style PlayStation 6 portable | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would really like to see a company go back and make unique handhelds. Handhelds have become portable consoles, which is cool, but I miss the unique games that were built around limitations or unique hardware like the DS and 3ds. Also I would really like a handheld that doesn’t hurt when you hold it for extended periods of time.

  Least expensive employees? Does he mean salary wise? I was always under the impression software devs were paid well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I would like for us, when we fail, to fail early and cheaply’: PlayStation Studios head says Concord taught a big lesson | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s been some incredible indies the past few years. I’m loving that people are going back and making games that look and feel like they could’ve been on the n64, ps1 or SNES.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the heads up! I’ll have to go check when the cutscene comes up so I don’t get caught off guard.

  I ended up having to watch the MGS2 cutscene before the last boss, and one of the really long MGS3 cutscenes on youtube because I fell asleep while they were playing lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard of this kind of AI usage a few times now and it seems so smart. You’re learning by teaching, but also being trained in AI literacy and the downfalls of AI. It encourages critical thinking and genuine learning at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I was trying to complete my second playthrough of Metal gear solid 2. But a bad Windows 11 update seems to have corrupted something, and now my PC is crawling.

  So, attempting to reinstall/repair. Thanks Microsoft :3

  Other than that Metal Gear has been awesome. I finished 3 the other week and have also been playing 4 on the ps3. Not super keen on the bombardment of cutscenes so far in 4, but it’s still pretty neat

  I’m hesitant to ask…but what did her mom do that made her stop playing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Seat Advert⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see this has a joystick as well. I’m curious how this worked. It seems cool in theory, but I have a nagging feeling it was awful lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point I think the cat is out of the bag. The internet isn’t private anymore. At the same time I question what happens if we start to self censor. On one hand I think it keeps a person safe, on the other hand I think it could just start to let authoritarian or fascists take a stronger hold when they’re the loudest voices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘They stole my face’: Streamer claims The First Descendant ads used AI to make it look like he’s promoting it | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anyone does unless the ads are on a smaller site or service. Anything larger like YouTube, tiktok etc just do some automated checks and send it. That’s why so many scams/propaganda get advertised. Nobody checks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your CV is not fit for the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the information! Yeah, I don’t really trust them. They feel flimsy and unreliable for most things. Sometimes, they have their moments where they seem actually helpful.

  I hate their usage overall, I just figure if I need it to help me land a job at some point, I should probably just have some extra options ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your CV is not fit for the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a good place to figure out how to run LLM’s locally? Seems safer than entering personal data onto a server somewhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would | Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on when I hit that difficulty spike and how changing the difficulty works.

  I was playing the evil within 1. I was at the end of the game right before the final boss. The game up to that point was balanced on hard. It gave a good survival horror experience. Every boss fight or mini boss felt reasonable.

  At the end of the game, they suddenly throw you into an arena with a ton of enemy waves that wouldn’t drop enough ammo to deal with them all. Suddenly, the game went from being fun to frustrating. I didn’t wana have to replay the level so at that point I hung up the towel and moved on.

  Great game otherwise! Might replay it on normal one day lol

  The Patriot Act wasn’t enough already?

  Good grief. It makes me sad that the internet is becoming a major source for data harvesting. It goes against what I think it should be about. Free, open, knowledge sharing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, while this is going on, does anyone know of must-have games that could get targeted soon? My wishlist is pretty big, and I usually sit on stuff until I feel the need to play it, but if an indie dev is going to be unfairly targeted, I might as well grab stuff now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, there’s bad guys no matter where you go in the world. Fortunately, there are also good guys, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xAI workers balked over training request to help “give Grok a face,” docs show⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone else find it ironic that the employees were hesitant to do this? I’m sure many of them have their reasons for working that job. But it seems funny when AI is built off of stolen data, and then the employees are like “hey wait a minute, though. Don’t use my data.”

  From needs to slow their roll a bit. People might get tired. That’s a crazy release schedule. That being said I am curious as to what it’ll be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Friendslop' Isn't Real, But People Love Posting About It Anyway | Aftermath⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m digging indie titles taking some risks and trying new stuff. They’re usually decently cheap and fun with some friends. As AAA titles begin to adopt the new $80-85 price tags, indies have a time to shine.
