Then you’d better go catch it!
Shit fuck there it goes.

- Comment on Trump plans to dismantle Biden AI safeguards after victory 1 week ago:
What safeguards? Biden’s order was just that they had to report what they were doing. He didn’t restrict anything.
What the AI market is really going to feel is if Trump’s proposed tariffs affect the prices of all those chips they need to feed their models.
- Comment on Sony is trying to patent a 'universal' rewind button that could fix your worst gaming catastrophes 1 week ago:
Fuck no, it’ll barely work with any game, just like most of the new features they promote any time they announce a new console.
Every other game today is live service online only garbage which means they wouldn’t allow rewinds given the server-side dependencies that wouldn’t work with it, and games from other developers would probably support the feature for 2 launch titles before everyone stops caring about it because it’s extra work and no one uses it anyways.

- Comment on PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle 3 weeks ago:
But the Sony implementation wasn’t meant to take you back to where you were, it was meant to take you to specific predefined starting points. That’s all. Both meant to be “time savers” of a sort but different strategies were used. One clearly didn’t work as well as the other.
- Comment on PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle 3 weeks ago:
While I don’t believe the PS5 has any feature that is up to snuff with quick resume, just wanted to mention that I think this feature was a bit different in function. It was more like a shortcut to specific things within a game, such as if you wanted to just go straight into a multiplayer match or to a specific level of a game, you’d use one of these activity cards, the game boots up, and there’d be minimal to no menus to navigate through. Just launch direct to gameplay or as close to it as possible.
I don’t believe many games used it, though. Not even all of Sony’s own offerings.
- Comment on Technotopia, a city builder with card selection and roguelite mechanics and a Bioshockesque theme, released on Steam 3 weeks ago:
The BioShock logo (and the art of the game itself) uses an art deco style that was relatively commonplace around the early 1900’s.
Whether this game’s usage of that style is a deliberate move or if it’s just borrowing from a shared aesthetic, who can say.

- Comment on Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Quits YouTube With Final Video Teasing Mystery New Game 3 weeks ago:
You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.
You wouldn’t believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a “one more thing” at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn’t during the Nintendo Direct.

Sure, not arguing that. But there’s no ideology that can completely preclude violence.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Quakers are just an extension of Christian ideology. Jainism I don’t know enough about, but any religious identity will eventually develop the concept of justified violence when faced with the existential threat of a larger rival religion.

I don’t think any ideology has not had brutality committed in its name.

There are definitely some bad actors on here who are trying to manipulate the election in Trump’s favor. The sort that claim to be leftists and come to every US politics-related thread (or even ones that aren’t related to the US until they make it so) with their list of talking points about why no one should vote for Harris, but conveniently have no answers for who deserves votes more.

And only if the PS5 isn’t user 1’s home console, which if it is, the license extends to any other user on that console.

- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 1 month ago:
That’s the same conclusion I arrived at, but wasn’t 100% sure. Since the act of downloading a game and the act of obtaining/transferring licenses both require the console to be online, I couldn’t see what the user impact would be, even if the order it does them is switched.
- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 1 month ago:
I am trying to think of scenarios where this will screw with normal users because companies never do moves like this unless they’re after some sort of grift.
But I am not seeing it at present. Maybe I’m just too tired and my brain isn’t working, but if a game is downloaded digitally and the license comes with it, there’s effectively no difference. Take it offline, you still have the license, no issues.
The only potential impact I can think of is if you have two users on a console that is the home console for neither person, and both of them bought the same game digitally. User 1 downloads the game, the license comes with it, and they take the console offline. User 2 then uses the console, tries to play the game they own, and gets a license error because the console is offline and doesn’t know they own it and therefore it can only be played by the person who downloaded it. But I think that’s how it works already, since User 2 would still need the console to be online to import their licenses.

I feel like we’ll be having the same conversation about YouTube Shorts in 10 years as we are having about YouTube Gaming today.
Which is to say none.

That being said, that 20-hour postmortem video on Skyrim feels right given how long I’d guess the playtime is on most people’s savegames.

Hard to know if the patent is expired when they haven’t even officially announced which ones they plan to bring forward in the suit.
The only info I was aware of so far is that there were multiple claims they were making.

It really is like a feudal system. There’s a reason why the HBO series Succession is framed like the politics between a lord, his heirs, and his vassals.
