- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 6 days ago:
so glad we have to give huge corporations tons of access to our private data just to play a game we paid for! so cool!
Real talk: Not all multiplayer games require kernal level anti cheat. Fortnite is a good example. If this type of anti-cheat, forced secure boot is so necessary to prevent cheating, why doesn’t Fortnite have problems with rampant cheating? Or do they and I just don’t notice because I’m losing either way? lol

meanwhile you still haven’t given a single example of something you are doing to prevent fascism in your own country. i don’t need your useless, negative energy. peace, loser.

You know that fascism is rising in Canada too, right? So if you want to go fight it, you could step out your front door and start today.
- Comment on Official Studio Launch Trailer • RedOctane Games 1 week ago:
Uhhhh what are we supposed to feel about a studio launch trailer? I kinda hate them acting like they were responsible for Guitar Hero and now it will magically come back because they are coming back. Music Rhythm games didn’t go away just because Red Octane went away. Red Octane died in 2010, and we still had many years of Rock Band and other games after that. Furthermore, Red Octane was never the studio that made the games. That was Harmonix, and Harmonix never stopped trying to keep the genre alive. They most recently released Fuser, which was wildly creative and cool but audiences didn’t really care. Then they got eaten up by Epic, and now they’re trying to keep the spirit alive by integrating it into Fortnite (see Fortnite Festival).
Seems kinda shitty and disingenuous for someone to come back with the Red Octane name and pretend like Harmonix hasn’t been out here doing the work for literal decades on end.

What are you doing to fight fascism in your country?
- Comment on Trump Is Launching an AI Search Engine Powered by Perplexity 1 week ago:
More assumptions about me and mine. The history is not so simple. My grandparents stormed beaches because that was what the president told them to do, and because the country itself was literally under attack by an outside enemy. It wasn’t a noble personal sacrifice in the same way - soldiers risked their lives and went through hell, but they also did so with a guarantee that they would get something in return if we won the war. I’m not going to get paid to protest, and I will be demonized by my employer and the federal government. And I don’t know my great grandparents’ exact views on racial politics, but I would estimate those same soldiers took no issue with the whites-only bathrooms they used on a daily basis before and after the war.
It’s very easy to tell people to do more when you have no similar obligation to act.
- Comment on Trump Is Launching an AI Search Engine Powered by Perplexity 1 week ago:
What makes you think that that is the only way to protest? And what makes you think we aren’t already doing that to our maximum ability? You are making a lot of assumptions about Americans (assuming you are Canadian from your choice of server). We all have careers to maintain, families and friends to support, homes to clean, debts to repay, meals to cook, laundry to fold, mental illnesses to manage, etc etc. We can’t just drop all that to go follow around ICE cars 24/7 and rotate in and out of jail, life doesn’t work like that. I’m not going to sit here and pretend i am doing the most that I can do, but there’s a reason I haven’t been maximally-engaged. Fighting fascism is exhausting, but so is daily life. The billionaires have successfully arranged our daily lives to ensure that simply existing in this hellhole is already exhausting without even adding in regular protesting.

the fat fuck
plz try to criticize our fascist leaders without body-shaming. it’s not a good look on you.
nobody did a fucking thing, so this is a bridge too far now or what ?
I mean, nobody in this community was happy about the Trumpcoin or any of the other previous self-promotion attempts, either. What were we supposed to do?
- Comment on Trump Is Launching an AI Search Engine Powered by Perplexity 1 week ago:
nothing to see here, just a sitting US president launching new companies and using the power of the office to promote his new companies.

- Comment on The PS4 version of Genshin Impact is being delisted and shut down | VGC 1 week ago:
While I understand it’s not a 1:1 comparison, Final Fantasy 14 dropped support for PS3 in 2017, and the console was only 11 years old at the time.
I don’t want to say too much bc you acknowledged the apples to oranges comparison, but I’ll say the quiet part out loud for others: technology advanced way more in those 11 years than it has in the last 12 since the PS4 launch. The only conceivable limiting factor at this phase is storage speed, and as others have pointed out, Genshin on PS4 is currently MISERABLE with load times. So like, it makes sense, but still feels wrong.

yeahhhh it makes sense, just kind of wild because live service games THRIVE on old hardware. Stuff like Fortnite and Overwatch has kept the PS4 platform pretty damn lively, and i’m sure it accounts for a significant chunk of sales, so seeing a live service game cut off that revenue stream is interesting. The hardware may be 12 years old, but the new hardware has sat in a pretty steep price point for its entire history so far, so somehow this still feels premature.

- Comment on Wikipedia Editors Adopt ‘Speedy Deletion’ Policy for AI Slop Articles | 404 Media 1 week ago:
I think the how is the most interesting part here.
The solution Wikipedians came up with is to allow the speedy deletion of clearly AI-generated articles that broadly meet two conditions. The first is if the article includes “communication intended for the user.” This refers to language in the article that is clearly an LLM responding to a user prompt, like "Here is your Wikipedia article on…,” “Up to my last training update …,” and "as a large language model.” This is a clear tell that the article was generated by an LLM, and a method we’ve previously used to identify AI-generated social media posts and scientific papers.
The other condition that would make an AI-generated article eligible for speedy deletion is if its citations are clearly wrong, another type of error LLMs are prone to. This can include both the inclusion of external links for books, articles, or scientific papers that don’t exist and don’t resolve, or links that lead to completely unrelated content. Wikipedia’s new policy gives the example of “a paper on a beetle species being cited for a computer science article.”

- Comment on Nintendo survey seeks feedback on controversial game-key cards, physical and digital purchases | VGC 1 week ago:
I find this interesting. Do you take this tack with ALL games? Do you play on anything besides Switch? Personally, I am mostly digital with all of my game purchases these days. I understand the desire to feel like the publisher can’t take the game away from you, but I also feel like it’s a bit pointless these days given how many games need Day 1 patches to run properly.

It looks really sick! I wish I could speak to the new expansion, I’ve never gotten far enough in the base game to attempt something like that. I always peter out after solving energy generation and finishing my first hydroponics farm.
