- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 3 hours ago:
Yeah but research shows that even TV isn’t great for young kids. Especially if it isn’t supervised and time limited.
- Comment on Capcom aims to enhance its propriety RE Engine with AI to accelerate efficiency in QA, debugging, and data processing 16 hours ago:
AI can mean so many things. Like I’ve seen research couple of years ago where they used Machine Learning to let the computer control a player character to find holes in the level colliders or to find the fastest route. Like the AI found glitches to skip parts of the level. Basically the end goal of the research was to train an AI with Machine Learning so it could play the game 24/7 for days with thousands of agents that would take an QA team hundreds of people for weeks. There is a reason why bugs are often found at release, because a million players will of course find bugs quicker than a thousand QA testers. Ai could maybe replicate a million players, sure not perfectly but it will probably find bugs that the QA team missed.

The hippie to fascist pipeline is real. Their tendency to distrust the establishment means they also fall for typical fascists tactics where they blame the establishment and people in power for all their problems. Like in my country during Covid lockdowns these so called “spiritual” people voted for the blatantly fascist party.

I remember I had to use an adapter to play US games on my PAL SNES to bypass the security chip. So the adapter has two slots one for the PAL Snes game for the security check and the other for the US or JP game you want to play.

This is the Japanese only version Switch 2 hence why it’s so much cheaper.

You can just use a proxy shopping service or a mail forwarding service, if you can’t buy them directly from the website.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
Though if the game supports language switching inside the game options then you can play the game in any language even on the Japanese only Switch 2. But many Nintendo games do not expose language options inside the game.

Funny thing is here in the Netherlands some people use pounds and ounces ( pond and ons in Dutch ) when they buy meat at the butcher. 1 pond = 500 gram, 1 ons = 100 gram

the bean > the meat
- Comment on EU citizens on here, Ross Scott is warning about a draconian law in the European Unio. 4 days ago:
The companies that are going to provide the verification services to the businesses probably.
- Comment on EU citizens on here, Ross Scott is warning about a draconian law in the European Unio. 5 days ago:
It’s the EU Commission under Von Der Leyen. The European People’s Party got 13 seats out of 27 in the Commission. It’s the Christian Democratic /conservative /center right liberal party of the EU. No wonder they are for this law.
The EU Parliament has people in it that are actually fighting for us.
- Comment on EU citizens on here, Ross Scott is warning about a draconian law in the European Unio. 5 days ago:
This law will literally end indie game studios in the EU. Or at least prevent them from selling in the continent they are based in.
- Comment on Upcoming Changes to the Discounts & Events Section on Steam 6 days ago:
The personalized release calendar improved exposure of many games. Makes sense that they also want to capitalize on it and move to a personalized discount program.
- Comment on The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is obvious: they don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everyone would want it everywhere. 6 days ago:

- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 1 week ago:
You didn’t build your full grown adult organs cell by cell in a vat. Like if they ever able to make organs they are more like constructing them cell by cell then growing them. Growing them would be probably too slow anyway. Not everyone can wait 15 years for a new heart.
- Comment on flat housing 1 week ago:
flat(n.)
1801, “a story of a house,” from Scottish flat “floor or story of a house,” from Old English flett “a dwelling, hall; floor, ground,” from >Proto-Germanic *flatja-, from suffixed form of PIE root *plat- “to spread.”
The meaning “floor or part of a floor set up as an apartment” is from 1824. Directly from flat (adj.) come the senses “level ground >near water” (late 13c.; late 12c. in place-names); “a flat surface, the flat part of anything” (a sword, etc., late 14c.), and “low shoe” >(1834).
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 1 week ago:
There are resources on the moon. Like helium which the sources on Earth are slowly depleting because helium that gets released in to the air is basically gone, it floats up to the upper layers of the atmosphere and some atoms will eventually get knocked into space and leave Earth’s gravity. Also some scientific experiments require low gravity. Currently they are doing them on the ISS or in a reduced-gravity aircraft. In a moon base you can do a lot more science with more people.
Also some people that are researching lab grown organs think that in order to grow an entire organ that it has to be done in low gravity. So imagine in the future we could have a moon base that grows organs for thousands of people at a time.

- Comment on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input 2 weeks ago:
This is what happens when you design games by quantifying everything into a number for a spreadsheet so a manager can read a report. Bet they did a playtest with their “target” audience aka non-gamers Sony wants to convince to buy a PlayStation for this game remember execs and shareholders only care about growing the player base. And some manager looked at the playstest numbers, noticed that many people couldn’t finish the section. And then ordered the team to make sure 90% of non-gamer playtesters can finish the game.
- Comment on Are Nintendo first party games first developed in JP before EN? 2 weeks ago:
What’s interesting is that the North American studio as are actually managed by Nintendo Japan and not NoA. There are interviews with ex Retro Studio employees where they talk about how producers from Japan and Shigeru Miyamoto come into the studio and start telling the Retro Studio staff what minute things they should change in the game they are working on.

Concord and Marathon is probably why they are changing course and are cutting these money bleeding projects.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 weeks ago:
But veganism at the core isn’t even about refusing to eat animal product. It’s about living a lifestyle that causes the least amount of suffering possible. Like some people would consider cocaine not vegan even though it’s not an animal product since an inconceivable amount of suffering is in the production and distribution of the product.
