- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 week ago:
My favorite last week was 2 dead support numbers and a third that let to AI which happily told me it has a solution that will fix the problem. The link it sent brought me to the bing search page.
I was so happy to finally talk to indian support a day later.

This is for the best. As someone who is forced to work with a lot of Microsoft infrastructure let me tell you things have never been this broken before. They keep doubling down on AI and it simply doesn’t work.
- Comment on Average GPA of a billionaire as per the research by University of Boston is 2.9 Why Valedictorians rarely reach this stage? 1 week ago:
As a selfmade billionaire I can tell you it’s all about your grind mind. I started my company in the kitchen and continued in the garage. When my mom initially said I can’t have 10 million in starting capital I asked her again and she said ok. Grind mind. Then she told me not to take the lambo but guess what? I took it anyway. Grind mind.

Same. My 360 controller must be 20 years old now. It yearns for a peaceful life in the dusty old tech box in the basement but I can’t let it go yet.

I think they roll dice to figure that out. In general they’re essentially playing a D&D campaign.

- Comment on Dragon Age veteran defends studio's attempt to make something different with Anthem: "BioWare's always been changing" 1 month ago:
Ah it’s a <make up weird quotes that don’t reflect the general feedback and then react to that> episode. I too remember people in the street shouting “you never should’ve tried something new BioWare!” after making that memory up.
In truth the biggest criticism they got was when they released it unfinished, promised a bunch of content and then let it die because they smashed the numbers into a calculator and came to the conclusion it’ll not be worth it. No fucking shit. Fixing the mess you sold people for full price won’t make you a lot of profit, it’s something you do to make up for delivering unfinished crap in the first place.
Imagine a plumber who does pipe work in your house and when you call them because they did a shoddy job and it’s leaking they say “Nah, wouldn’t be worth it to fix this. I’ll rather go do a different project for more money.”
Fuck right off.
- Comment on It's easy 1 month ago:
While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.
There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.
So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.

- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 3 months ago:
It’s the 24h news cycle. Most news sources are battling for your attention/clicks every day and if they keep digging into a story that people already know, they’ll get less clicks. It has to be new or it just gets scrolled past. This isn’t unique to america. It’s everywhere. Even here on lemmy.
Steve Bannon has recognized this and weaponized it for Trump with his ‘flood the zone’ approach. Keep blasting new headlines and nothing will really stick.
