- Comment on The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026 1 week ago:
It doesn’t. The knife is actually really, really cool. I’d heard about it a few months ago and if I had the disposable cash, I’d by one.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Machine learning is not viable for anything other than simpler 2d games or small segments of more complex games. The training required to get good results on that is intense already.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Also, this isn’t possible with current or even next gen tech, unless they literally script the “AI” responses to all available situations which would be infeasible.
LLMs can’t reason or handle complex situations. They are text auto complete programs or image generation programs.
- Comment on When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires. 2 weeks ago:
AI isn’t the only thing you can use a computer for now. If you ignore AI and corporate software, there’s loads of mind expanding activities in computing.
Take a look at what you can self host with commodity hardware (barring the insane RAM prices right now).
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 2 weeks ago:
It’s always amusing when the most hysterical person in the room tells you you’re overacting.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
The Wikipedia page has a brief description of the unpaid labor scandal. I also remember there being some sexual abuse allegations.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.
I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 3 weeks ago:
This is one of the coolest things about Universal Blue OSs like Bazzite. You can very easily roll your own custom OS based off of one of their images. And it’s all automated.
I feel like that’s the best of both worlds. Extreme customizability and standardization.

Need For Speed: Modern Warfare?

Give me a new Mega Man X, please.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, you did pull it out of thin air.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 1 month ago:
95%+ of you would be leaving massive, massive performance on the table by using Linux
Pulling numbers out of thin air.
Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.
Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.
But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 1 month ago:
Linux will be significantly worse
Is the significance in the room with us? All I’m seeing is marginal difference at this point.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 month ago:
Steam has a lot more demos these days than it used to, and it’s great. I do not like buying, trying, and refunding games. But demos? Hell yeah. I’ll try those on a whim.

- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 1 month ago:
I guarantee I will never use this information. But thank you anyway.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
I only got Steam when HL2 released because I had no need for it before then. I don’t remember having any real negative feelings about it.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 2 months ago:
I love the vertical task bar in KDE. It does exactly what I want it to, and that’s so refreshing.
- Comment on What does Oracle actually do? | Good Work [11:47] 2 months ago:
Sadly I’m in this boat. We use Oracle database and have stored procedures all over the place. For us, the cost to convert everything would probably be huge.
I’d love to switch to PostgreSQL.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 months ago:
Bazzite already fills this niche. It just doesn’t have the Steam name on it.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 2 months ago:
TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 months ago:
I love just driving around doing nothing in Cyberpunk 2077.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 3 months ago:
I would suggest against self driving cars for this very reason. The kind of thing in the article is not a hazard while driving.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 3 months ago:
The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive. Software has gotten a lot more complex over the past couple decades. And just because it came on physical media and could not easily be patched doesn’t mean that it didn’t have bugs. Far from it.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 3 months ago:
I have a used 2017 Chevy Bolt that I absolutely adore. I bet I could pretty easily disable the OnStar if I was so inclined and paranoid about it somehow getting updates. But I doubt I need to do that.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 months ago:
And take years to learn how to use well
Heaven fucking forbid that a person dedicates themself to learning a perfecting a craft. Meanwhile, you sloppers are out here thinking you’re gonna take over the entertainment industry with your, “Yo Sora, make me a movie that’s like Pulp Fiction crossed with Fight Club with supernatural elements.”
Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?
Because that’s all that it’s good for. Every year it’s, “Oh this is going to be so much better in 6 months, bro. It’ll be able to generate full movies by then, for sure, bro.” And every year it does get better, but it’s still complete and utter garbage. It’s still slop.
And even if it’s not slop, LLM tech is basically just a repackaged soulless slurry of existing media. Unless there is a fundamental breakthrough in AI tech, it will always be that. LLMs just work that way. It is a limitation of the technology.
If you can’t see that, then you truly don’t understand what this tech is.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 months ago:
Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.
People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.
Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 months ago:
People don’t need AI slop at all. At least meat provides sustenance.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 months ago:
You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.
People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 3 months ago:
And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.
Meat, whether you think it’s moral or ethical or not, serves a need. People need to eat. People don’t need AI slop.
It’s kind of like saying, “Well yeah I leave this 50kw diesel generator running 24/7. It’s way less environmentally damaging than meat. No, I’m not using the power it generates for any real purpose, but who cares, it’s environmentally friendly!”
