This is also very true. OP may have picked up a few “Hate Followers” too, I know I have picked up a few along my time on the internet. They just can’t be bothered to use the block feature, I guess. Or they think they are getting back at them.for some reason, which is pretty sad if someone thinks fake internet points matter that much.
I remember when I used to have a Reddit account that had Hate Followers, I would make a post or comment that would almost always end in a high positive vote count, but in less than 60 seconds of posting it the vote count would be zero for like an hour before the vote count turned positive lol. Always had one or two comments from the same accounts that werent even related to whatever I was talking about. I used to get a good chuckle out of it.

Wait… You didn’t know off-shore bank accounts are only for the rich and powerful?
- Comment on Generative AI Use Among Game Developers Falls to 29% in 2026, Survey Shows | Outlook Respawn 2 days ago:
Literal judging a book by its cover mention.
But I do agree that generative software proliferation can certainly lead to a flood of low-quality trash.

True, but you wouldn’t know if it was generated text first and then edited/altered manually by a person.

Generative AI as in image generation, text generation, predictive text, Code Intellisense, AutoComplete, etc?
This is too vague. Not only is “Generative AI” not qualified/specified as to what actually counts under that label according to the article, this would realistically also rely on people voluntarily responding and being honest. This particular survey is probably going to attract more responses from people that hate “AI” in its current general sense than from people that actually use it.
Also, most people that currently work in the games industry are in art (digital painting, texture painting, 3d modeling, etc), so obviously most of them are going to say it will negatively effect games as a whole. Regardless of whether that is true or not, the impact of perceived “job security” by trying to influence executives/management by negatively responding to “Generative AI” surveys is enough to skew the data to the paint that I believe it does not actually reflect reality. In other words, I believe that negative responses are being given for reasons other than “the tool is not helpful or useful,” but instead “I hate the tool.” Much like how animation artists first responded to the computer replacing cel animation technique. The people that hated computers animation talked down on the computers not because it would make their job easier, but because they thought they would lose their job if they talked positively about it. The sad fact is that people will lose their job regardless, especially in the current game industry where you can make a huge hit successful game and still get fired.
Generative AI is a tool, just like PhotoShop or Visual Studio. Its not a particularly useful tool for most of the stuff it is marketed to do, but it does have some use cases where I find it is a helpful tool. Asking “In which file is XYZ struct defined?” or “Explain to me ZYX function and what it returns” when working with a codebase you didn’t write yourself or have a team of others working on can be genuinely helpful (especially if the actual people that wrote the code are not available to do that). However, asking it to write specialized code for you is going to be a bad time because it will almost certainly not work correctly.

- Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself 4 days ago:
Okay, I know a lot about this issue, and it was one guy that doxxed him and a handful of users berating him. Its not “the community.” Its not acceptable. But neither is Arrowheads response, TBH. They should get Sony to get private investigators to catch the doxxer and make an example out of him, otherwise the doxxer wins. He gets what he wanted. This incident reflects on Arrowhead whether they want it or not, so they need to respond to it swiftly, not their “doxxing bad” public announcement.

Including Nintendo. Especially Nintendo.
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 1 week ago:
Morrowind. Its older (should easily runnwell on your rig), and its combat mechanics are more similar to table-talk rpgs (an attack might look like it should hit, but the game internally rolls dice to see if it beats enemy armor etc.), but its an immensely better RPG experience compared to Skyrim.
OpenMW is the most recommended way to play since its a reimplementation of the game engine, fixing various bugs and improving compatibility with modern computer systems while adding some modern features like shadows for terrain and more optimized lighting.

And don’t even get me started on gaming news and influencers, who seem like they love to hate.

Disappointed RE1 is getting a remake to turn it into modern Action Shooter Slop.
RE1 was already remade, and it was literally the perfect remake too.

Even if Concord was free, it still would have had less players than Highguard. Nobody wanted to play Concord, at least some people wanted to play Highguard.

Such a shame this game fell off so hard. Previous team didnt do enough for the game. Should have made it ReP, probably would spike the playerbase

It is a free demo, so its not that crazy. Will be interesting to see the number when people have to buy the game.

Meanwhile Marathon’s server slam is down by more than 50% from yesterday, dropping from ~150k to ~55k.
“Dont worry, its a Thursday, just wait until the weekend.”
Nah bro, it dropped to its lowest concurrent player count on a Friday. That bodes horrendously badly for its future. And I mean, good. Its a skinwalker anyway (though I really love the artstyle, Graphic Brutalism has always been a favorite of mine since it started popping up in the late 2000s, its not a Marathon game, and my love of its art style isnt enough to carry it alone).
- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 week ago:
So are they going to do the same thing against EA, ActiBlizz, Epic Games, etc etc? Or is this just “Valve has the most money and we want money and dont actually care about this issue” yet again?

- Comment on Games with friends 2 weeks ago:
In that case, you got a lot of options.
Helldivers 2 would probably be a good fit. It doesn’t have a lot to learn for a player to do well, and if one player is a min-maxing nuisance it won’t really effect the rest of the player’s experience. It’s a cooperative third person shooter.
- Comment on Games with friends 2 weeks ago:
How many people are in your group? If its 4 people then you guys have tons of options, but if its 5 or more, your options are extremely limited (I know this because I play in a group of 5).
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 2 weeks ago:
If you are asleep and your house catches fire, the idea is that the smoke detector will wake you up with enough time hopefully to escape the fire. That is really their primary purpose.
Some European countries do require them. Germany and Britain require smoke detectors in all residential buildings, for example.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 2 weeks ago:
If your smoke detectors go off when you are cooking, then the smoke detectors are too close to the kitchen. At least where I live, building code mandates one smoke detector in each bedroom, one in each hallway leading to a bedroom, and at least one smoke detector on each floor of the home. Generally, avoid placing smoke detectors near kitchens or exterior windows which, when open, are right next to a grill or other cooking appliance. Otherwise you’re going to be getting a lot of false positives.
