This was a good fun Friday! I was wondering what was up with the boxes
- Comment on PlayerUnknown wants to listen to your Prologue: Go Wayback feedback, just not all of it 2 days ago:
Anyway, forget about all that hogwash I just said, Brendan, if you’re reading this change the game’s name it really is an odd one.
At least the community can agree on one thing 😂
- Comment on Reddit’s CEO says r/popular ‘sucks,’ and it’s going away 2 days ago:
Namely, we’re limiting the number of high-traffic communities any single person can moderate.
Good change, long needed
we updated how we display community size. We switched from Subscribers—which was really just a measure of age—to Weekly Visitors to reflect actual activity.
Also a good change for the larger subs, but small communities could suffer
- Comment on Bungie admit to Destiny 2 having an audience problem, as they try to figure out how to not make a "dead live game" 1 week ago:
Part of the issue, Green thinks, is that Destiny 2’s expansion The Final Shape, which essentially wrapped up the main story Bungie had been working on nigh on a decade. They found that those that played it felt satisfied, but “the big [downwards] spike in population [came after]. That happened because we ended the saga. So you get what you pay for, right?”
I played a lot when 2 released on Steam and even completed the first few raids. Years later, my partner and I were casual players for a few months up to this expansion’s release. It came out, the menus shifted around, then it was… just over.
We played the free stuff but didn’t buy the dlc since we mostly did PvP. Apparently a raid happened and some epic story shit went on, but we never saw any of it and dropped the game soon after. It was a very whelming completion of a 10 year arc.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 2 weeks ago:
Honestly I haven’t ever had a complaint against them, I don’t really pay attention to names and appreciate their effort to grow coms ml.
I do notice the constant complaining though, that’s annoying!

You can do a few of those on anbernic (and other) handhelds with portmaster
But what if give for a mini clamshell deck 🤩

It does seem likely, especially with FEX
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows' backlash reportedly corporately canonised by Ubisoft as a victory for being "more of a video game than a message" 4 weeks ago:
They’re pointing out the objective fact that a large portion of the “influencers” that peddle this rage bait are just in it because right wing chuds still need something to be angry about after the mainstream realized that gamergate was actually just a targeted harassment campaign.
No, it doesn’t mean that all of their criticisms are invalid, but their function as a pipeline into the radical right shouldn’t be ignored.
- Comment on OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week 5 weeks 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.

- Comment on Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system 1 month 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 Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 2 months ago:
Its origin is actually related to the “30 year old boomer” meme. Etymology is fun!

When he sent the kaiju through the building I was hoping he’d be headed to prison for S3, I forgot about the whole paranormal pocket dimension 😆 I agree and hope he doesn’t stick around
But… where’s that ball!
