- Comment on Following the nightmare footage of AI-loy, Horizon actor Ashly Burch shares her stance on the whole debacle 1 week ago:
Honest question. Why does the whole internet seem to be coalescing around the relatively small number if artists who might lose work over AI when there’s probably millions of people, if not more, who stand to lose their jobs in other sectors? AI powered voices could add a lot to a game, it could be great having completely dynamic speech.

I just hit 230 on my phone.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 1 month ago:
A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 1 month ago:
Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 1 month ago:
I don’t know why people don’t want to work in the office. I spent a week working from home and it felt like a prison.
- Comment on James Cameron on 'Avatar 3' Potentially Sparking Fan Backlash 2 months ago:
Avatar 2 was like a 50 minute movie and 2 hours of swimming.
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 2 months ago:
I have paid full price for a game in 10 years. GTA6 will be late to the PX party anyway. Looks like I won’t be playing it until 2035.
- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 2 months ago:
It’s not clear, am I going to lose games if I don’t do this?
- Comment on Day 183 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
I actually think this is somewhere that AI could help out, just cranking out loads of mundane little features to give a place depth. I’m looking forward to the possibility of games where you can walk around a whole building because it’s all being generated on the fly by AI.
- Comment on How do I realistically get out of the US? 2 months ago:
Look up “working holiday visas” if you’re under 30. It’s a process to encourage people to get world experience while they’re young. I’m sure if you found somewhere you liked you could then try and get something more permanent.
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 2 months ago:
I was alive during the dot com bubble and I don’t think normal people even noticed it. The web was a lot less centralised back in those days and stayed that way for a while. The websites that people were actually using didn’t go anywhere when the bubble burst but there was a lot more website turnover in those days anyway. People were always moving to a better newer service and there were multiple search engines that people used. Then AltaVista turned up and that was the engine to use, until Google turned up and everyone started using that. I still remember when Google was this cool new thing that most people hadn’t heard of.

Not op but I’m using Fedora. I installed NVIDIA drivers from the “app store” then downloaded protonqtup, Steam, and Heroic. I’ve only had one game not work, and that’s Deathloop. Everything else is fine.
- Comment on Day 183 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
I’m enjoying the game but it suffers from that problem where the world feels so hollow, like a museum piece and all you can do is observe. It all looks great from a distance and I always want to go places I see far away but when you get there it’s just dead. Buildings you can’t go in, shops you can’t buy from, vendors you can’t talk to. You walk down these bustling side streets with loads of activity and all you can do I buy a taco from a vending machine.
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 2 months ago:
I hope it’s all compatible with the old one. I don’t really want to upgrade.
- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 2 months ago:
Bow tie. Needs a waistcoat.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s not impossible to do at all. Until you’re 30 there’s lots of countries that will let you have a working visa. There’s some cultural exposure program to encourage young people to travel the world and experience different cultures. I’m pretty sure Canada’s on it. I’m not interested in going to the States myself, I like how much room there is but the culture isn’t for me and I find the towns and cities dull.
I like travelling myself and I’m always looking to move somewhere else, being at home is just boring to me and I find it hard to settle.
If you want to make a life of it you need to look at getting some kind of job which will enable that kind of lifestyle like the military or some kind of diplomatic service.
I’ve lived overseas myself and you need to be aware that every country has good points and bad points. Something that seems like a quirk will be fucking annoying after a few years. It’s all good fun though.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 2 months ago:
I can’t believe this is real. I’ve just bought a relatively cheap Samsung smart TV and it’s got nothing close to this. I would hardly even say it’s got adverts since it’s mostly just recommendations from my apps in the same way they all do now, I don’t think I’ve actually seen it try to sell me anything or get me to watch something that wasn’t free.
Who the fuck would buy a TV like this? If a company was going to introduce on-screen ads like this they’d start really small.

Why are people saying this poster’s okay? It’s so corny.
- Comment on running windows... sorry :\ 3 months ago:
Vista was fine. It got a bad rep because it introduced a lot of changes that are normal now, like UAC. It took a bullet for 7.

Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?

I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?
- Comment on Let's discuss: Uplifting Games 5 months ago:
What do you find uplifting about Doom? Is it the bit where demons enslave the Earth?
- Comment on [Official Art] Tourniquet Promo Art - Tomb Raider 5 months ago:
This one was much better than the sequels and I think it was because in the sequels I found Lara unbearable. In this one she was scrappy and there was lighthearted chitchat to just make everyone feel a bit human. In the sequels everything was just so melodramatic and it all took itself way too seriously, especially considering how silly the stories were.
- Comment on Ahoy me hearties 5 months ago:
It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
