That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 1 week ago:
I often have to kill it because it refuses to load things on new tabs.
I do use a VPN extension with it, so it could be that, but the result is the same.
- Comment on We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened 1 week ago:
You mean the slopomatic made up looking article that ran everywhere despite looking as genuine as a three pound note? The one with real “it’s true my uncle works for Bill Gates” energy? That article?
- Comment on NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel 1 week ago:
They’re doubling down. It’s a special CPU for more AI slop.

- Comment on Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file 1 week ago:
In any case it sounds like a reason to actually read what the oauth login screens are actually telling you…
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
Because MS will throw any amount of losses at this to keep themselves in the game.
Plus making games deliberately incompatible with the GabeCube will be trivial if it comes to that.
Valve can throw a lot of resources behind what they’re doing, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what MS can spend. At the end of the day Valve can only really match current consumer pricing, and even with 16GB RAM and 8GB GPU, that isn’t cheap.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
Yeah, if the Series S could have run my Steam library, I’d have got one years ago when it was cheap.

You think the average person will buy a more expensive box that doesn’t play COD, FIFA, etc?
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 1 week ago:
Does 10/10 mean it’s got RAM and drives accessible without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing?
Nice to see both aren’t soldered onto the motherboard, but we’ve still gone backwards in the last 20 years.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 1 week ago:
They’re clearly going for the same thing on all devices at some point. There’s a lot of money to be made locking shit down and keeping your users hostage.

Flipping between Tomb Raider Chronicles and Spiderman 2.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 1 week ago:
Sure, but I don’t really want to share a reality with people who do.
It’s making them not right.
- Comment on oh fuck 😨 1 week ago:
He certainly liked the N word.
Although most of it was probably his schizophrenia talking. I figure somebody who made an entire OS because he though God told him to, can’t be held 100% responsible for his actions…
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 1 week ago:
Well there is a plan, it’s just “make them in countries where you can still have slaves”.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
They do that anyway, but usually prices going down.
e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.
You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 week ago:
Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.
A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.
And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.
We just want games.

The UK was constantly bribing car makers to stay, and most of them still fucked off.

- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
I know that. You know that. Antonio Banderas knows that. But Americans are funny about race. They didn’t count Italians as white. They didn’t even count the Irish as white.
But a line gets drawn somewhere I guess, and without exception it gets drawn where the wealth disparities arise.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
Hispanic are like Spanish but poor.

They’ll arrest the jury.
I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?
