- Comment on GTA VI developer accused of union busting in mass firings 5 days ago:
Most gamers won’t even hear about it. Just seeing the article already puts you in the “highly informed” bucket
- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 1 week ago:
From another comment it sounds like there is pushback from users when someone behaves poorly, which is good, but I don’t see why anyone would want that to be the norm. Just libertarian things I guess
- Comment on Take-Two’s CEO doesn’t think a Grand Theft Auto built with AI would be very good [VGC] 1 week ago:
You don’t need ai for that store.steampowered.com/app/2859220/Vuntra_City/
- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 1 week ago:
Yup, seems like they want to run a nazi bar. I took a glance at their wiki:
nothing that a player can type in public chat (aside from the exceptions given below) can result in a ban or any form of official reprimand. You will not be banned for anything you say, aside from spamming. This includes but is not limited to:
- Swearing;
- Personal attacks;
- Racial or cultural insults;
- Asking to be banned.

Apologies for replying so strongly 👍
- Comment on Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide 1 week ago:
I did, it was full of speculation based on something you admitted you had no idea about
- Comment on Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide 1 week ago:
Drop the wild speculation, there is zero reason to play devil’s advocate in this situation. If you cared to do any reading there are a myriad of examples of this company’s llms pushing harmful behavior.
- Comment on OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week 1 week ago:
It’s extrapolated from their own user count:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said earlier this month that ChatGPT now has 800 million weekly active users. The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis. About 2.4 million more are possibly expressing suicidal ideations or prioritizing talking to ChatGPT over their loved ones, school, or work.

The biggest improvement for me, even viewing at a distance, is that I can disable anti aliasing. If it’s rendered at a high enough resolution jaggies aren’t an issue

Yeah it kinda balanced out the economy, and probably raised market prices overall so they still make more money

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 19th 2 weeks ago:
I still wanted the new Sniper Elite game but didn’t want to $20… so I got 5 for $5! I haven’t done story mode, just the invasion mode where you invade other people’s story missions. Since it’s a 2022 game most of the people still playing are very good, but after a day I’m at 8 kills!
We’re also about halfway up the mountain in Baby Steps, it’s slow going with many falls
- Comment on Name a game that you found SO FUN, but no one talks about it anymore. 2 weeks ago:
Whacked! It was a third person party combat game for original xbox, my brother and I played it SO MUCH growing up. We still sometimes play and have fun, but anyone else that tries to play with us hates it
- Comment on Anyone else disappointed by Steam's current Next Fest? 3 weeks ago:
That’s always how it is at the start, there’s no real sorting the first few days. By Thursday and Friday the slop will start to fall off
- Comment on Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system 4 weeks ago:
The beta for this was excellent for players that got into the series at 3 or 4. Unfortunately EA got bought by some shady private equity so I will not be supporting it
- Comment on Hyper Light Breaker's development is ending, and devs Heart Machine are laying off staff 4 weeks ago:
Dang that’s sad, that first game was really special
- Comment on More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC 4 weeks ago:
You’re right! The guy that published the info had a funny disclaimer:
Pro-tip, before replying, know that even seeing this post likely puts you into that hyper enthusiast bucket, so the actions of you and your immediate cohort likely do not match those of the general gaming audience.

Ah that makes sense 😆

What is coop like? I didn’t know it was a feature, I’m watching my partner play and it looks fun!
- Comment on More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC 4 weeks ago:
A majority! Some players buy a few but it’s mostly supported by whales that buy everything
- Comment on More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC 4 weeks ago:
This isn’t surprising to me, with so many free to play games and the fact that this survey included mobile gamers
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 5th 4 weeks ago:
Ah I looked it up, Don’t Starve’s local coop is only on consoles. For some reason.
Cult of the Lamb isn’t though! Might have to pick it up, thank you!
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 5th 4 weeks ago:
Is that split screen? I was looking to play Don’t Starve Together with my partner but Don’t Starve didn’t say it was local, only online or LAN
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 5th 4 weeks ago:
Is it still mostly melee combat? Games with good melee are tough to come by, and I remember the first being pretty good with all the running and jumping!
