- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 2 days ago:
It can never be too big, but it’s a problem if it’s a big city with nothing to do (Cyberpunk).
- Comment on Happy American import day 1 week ago:
I don’t care that Halloween’s an American import, it’s still the best day of the year.
- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 1 week ago:
Sounds kinda like MS could tell the account wasn’t being used anymore and decided to kill it off rather than leave it to get hacked again. Still, it’s scary to think that MA might delete my account and I’d lose all my online backups. My daily photos are backed up on there.
- Comment on Good Halloween Games 1 week ago:
I want to get Luigi’s Mansion as I remember really enjoying the first one. It’s just so expensive though.
- Comment on Take-Two’s CEO doesn’t think a Grand Theft Auto built with AI would be very good [VGC] 1 week ago:
Personally I think AI generated content could be great when it’s used to create content that otherwise wouldn’t be present. Like when you have a game where all the buildings are just static models with all the doors closed and the curtains shut, imagine resolving all that with buildings you could go in. Basically I want Cyberpunk where all the lights and movement actually mean something.

- Comment on I have no idea what this is about 2 weeks ago:
Everyone keeps blaming the aliens but I didn’t that they were that bad a fit. But the movie was terrible and at that but where LeBouf started swinging through the trees I was ready to walk out.
The newer one’s not too bad though.
- Comment on Google Chrome to revoke notification access for inactive sites 3 weeks ago:
Has anyone ever let a website send them notifications?
- Comment on Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth 4 weeks ago:
Can’t they just reduce the tax on drinking in a pub so they can take more profit from what’s spent? Most alcoholics drink at home now anyway.
- Comment on Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme 1 month ago:
Labour tried to introduce it about 20 years ago but it got killed.
- Comment on Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme 1 month ago:
I’ve just been reading the BBC article on it and it says that every other party is against them being compulsory. I don’t think this’ll make it through.
- Comment on Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme 1 month ago:
Now Reform will start piping up about how they will block this and they’ll get even more votes. Between this and the age verification stuff I’m almost considering voting for them but I can’t stand the idea of Nigel Farage being PM and they keep trying to emulate Trump.
- Comment on The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era 1 month ago:
Between the ugly lump on the back of these and the horrid Liquid Ass interface this is possibly the ugliest iPhone they’ve ever released.
- Comment on This game is fantastic. 1 month ago:
This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.
I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.
- Comment on All I Want for Christmas Is You 1 month ago:
I was in France the other day and a restaurant on the beach started playing it. Not sure they understood English around there. You’d think they’d know the word Christmas though.

Someone else just bought Celeste on sale.
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 2 months ago:
How do these sites even know ads are being blocked? What’s to stop the ad blocker just downloading the ads and simply not showing them?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Giving birth is the easier part. At least you’re surrounded by doctors. When you get home and you don’t have a clue, that’s relentless.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 2 months ago:
How does this even work? It’s like they don’t realise they don’t own the car once it’s been sold. What’s to stop someone just hacking it and unlocking it?
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 2 months ago:
I expect we’re eventually going to start seeing AI in more sensible places and these NPUs will prove useful. Hopefully soon the bubble will burst and we’ll stop seeing it crammed in everywhere, then it’ll start being used where it actually improves a product rather than wherever an LLM will fit.
- Comment on It's the dream 2 months ago:
I never have dressing on my salad, I think a lot of people don’t. Salads are healthy, dressings are not.

Thank God we’ve got the government here to protect us.

- Comment on What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop? 2 months ago:
Reaction videos I guess, but a lot of people are doing that.
- Comment on The end of the road? What The Salt Path scandal means for the nature memoir 2 months ago:
The couple claimed that their house got repossessed by the bank and that’s what inspired them to do this big walk that the book’s about. Turns out that when the author was unemployed a friend helped her out by getting her a job at the company run by her husband. The author then went on to steal loads of money over the next few years and nearly drive the company bankrupt; causing loads of grief for the company’s owners and causing lots of mental problems like depression, etc. The author eventually got busted and had to agree to a payment plan which they didn’t keep up with, and that was the point their house got repossessed.
- Comment on Day 381 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
I liked this game but the combat really killed it for me. The enemies just move too quickly and in a game about conserving ammo it was way too hard to reliably hit them.

This sounds amazing.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games' proposals would make online-only games "prohibitively expensive to create", argue EU lobby group 3 months ago:
Aren’t they only being asked to open source the servers at the end of a a game’s life?
- Comment on 11 Bit confirm that they used generative AI for The Alters "in a very limited manner" 4 months ago:
I don’t really care that much. I’m quite happy for AI to be used to create more content in my games wherever it’s appropriate. If a company can use AI to create all the mundane background content that nobody really wants to make then who cares? It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to fire people, it might just be the same people making more content.
