• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on the humble bundle this month?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  When the two flagship titles are sports scamware, and a largely discontinued set of expansions for a dying mmo, i dont even know what to say

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay the Spire 2 early access delayed to March 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Can also try Shroom and Gloom when that comes out. Played the demo, loved it. Clearly very strongly inspired by StS, but in a way that none of the clones are. This one is very unique in many ways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay the Spire 2 early access delayed to March 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would always much rather take a delayed game, than a bad/unfinished one. I love StS1 so I’m glad they are giving the sequel the attention it deserves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Silksong is my main entertainment for now. Other than that, I’m playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 + its expansion again, and also getting through Factorio Space Age with a friend. A lot of fun to be had

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am so fucking exhausted of EVERYTHING in this society being treated like a statistic.

  But what pisses me off even more, is when a gigantic corporation makes a bold claim, pretending they aren’t a major contributor to what’s happening in the said claim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He will look for answers literally anywhere, except for within.

  The tech scene is just not as interesting anymore, and the stuff he specifically covers is even less interesting. But the bigger issue is that everything LMG do is just corporate jank. It was fun when it was home garage jank, with 2 employees, but now it’s just miserable and frustrating. And thats not even taking any of the interpersonal issues, or legal drama from recent history

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI startup Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5bn to settle book piracy lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t doubt it for a second. They create a product they can easily gaslight all the corporate chumps into buying, and by the time they realize there’s 0 roi on it, it’s already too late

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like NFTs, this will be remembered as the biggest grift of our generation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dia and Arc maker The Browser Company is being acquired by Atlassian for $610 million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What a colossal waste of money. The only other company i’d wish this upon would be HP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google told to pay $425m in privacy lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice, that’s like 2 days of operational profits. I’m sure that’ll teach them a lesson

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What the fuck are we even doing at this point, as a society?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World Of Warcraft Turtle WoW Servers Hit With Blizzard Lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While you are correct, I understand what they’re trying to say.

  WoW suffers massively from adding new systems every patch, that feel like a full-time job. That never made any sense to me, given that an average WoW player already spends an abnormal amount of time playing the game, but they’re trying to fomo you into logging in even more.

  It all probably just comes out to corporate metrics, because the people in Microsoft/Blizzard leadership don’t play their own games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla? The same company, that was revealed to delete sensitive data out of the crashed vehicles, after it was remotely downloaded, and pretend it was “mysteriously” unavailable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t understand what all those people are doing there. Not just in Blizzard, but any other corporate studio

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot summoned to appear before French court in relation to harassment trial⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would love to hear about how he’ll weasel his way out if this one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve evolved towards a software-managed autotagged library of lossless audio now, but yeah, pretty much.

  I just had a chat with my friends about how the family plan price went up 30% while the basic functionality doesnt fucking work half the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox faces scrutiny after banning YouTuber ‘Schlep' amid ongoing controversy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its actually insane that they’ve got literal predator pedos on their platform, and they’re worried about a dude, who faked his profile age, while submitting them to the police

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The atmosphere. The fluidity yet sharpness of combat. The emotional attachment to the story. The absolutely gorgeous level designs.

  No game will be for everyone, and it’s okay if this one isn’t for you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No-no, see. When an AI-first company does it, it’s actually called courageous innovation. Crimes are for poor people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has agreed to pay $36 million fine for signing anticompetitive deals with Australia’s two largest telcos that banned the installation of competing search engines⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice, another slap on the wrist. Rounding error type of money will never change their behavior

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Famous VPN company Mullvald says it will no longer use OpenVPN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had an active iVPN sub for almost 8 years now. Cannot say anything bad about them whatsoever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE NVIDIA AI GPU BLACK MARKET | Investigating Smuggling, Corruption, & Governments⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a really good watch. I’ve put it on while playing some Factorio, so time went by quite quickly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 Design Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never mentioned anything about how much it was 10 years ago. I’m talking about how much it costs now. To me, there are better alternatives in the same price range

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.

  Don’t participate in the fascist echochamber

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Duh. Every company like this “suddenly” starts withholding public progress reports, once their progress fucking goes downhill. Stop giving these parasites handouts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 Design Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really love what the watch offers, but the price is quite damn steep

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point, I doubt this will happen, because they’ve purposefully sunk Dreadwolf/Veilguard into the abyss, and probably wrote the entire DA series off, as a loss, all together

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The World Will Enter a 15-Year AI Dystopia in 2027, Former Google Exec Says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most honest Google exec

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • Gothic 2, and by extension, Chronicles of Myrtana
  • The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
  • Both are equally as monumental, so it’s shared between Obra Dinn, and Outer Wilds

  That being said, i’ve excluded any mmos out of this list, purely because sometimes i struggle to call them my favorite games, despite having playing several thousand hours of each. Some of them have been unbelievably impactful at certain times in my life, but i’m afraid the embers are getting cold now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone from Take-two leadership said that? Are they ill with something? That’s the most sensible statement i’ve heard from them in ages
