• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox faces scrutiny after banning YouTuber ‘Schlep' amid ongoing controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most honest Google exec

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the most upsetting part. If you’re a solo artist without a label, you need what’s essentially a million listens to break minimum wage. For bands, and anyone with a label, even that’s practically out of question. This shit is why everyone sells 75$ t-shirts at shows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If something’s finally going to force the industry to curb its bullshit, this might just be it. Once you annoy normal people, it’s all over. They seriously underestimate how many people would just stop using Spotify, or Youtube, or whatever other platform it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg writes a manifesto on bringing "personal superintelligence" to everyone to improve humanity, but doesn't even define what superintelligence means.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It means whatever the shareholders wanna hear, because they slobber each others knob for literally fucking anything, that sounds like it’ll make money from a pump and dump

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they would gaslight half the 6a owners into upgrading their phone this way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubislop need to be reminded that if you make a shit product, with a legally abusive EULA, no one owes you anything. You will go out of business, and we’ll applaud as your headquarters are repossessed by the real estate company

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would understand forcibly banning/removing something, if it poses a real existential threat to the majority of people.

  But religion fueled bigotry, in a place where you can CHOOSE to buy and play something, or completely ignore and hide if you’d like? Come on. Adults can decide if they want to have access to this content on their own, without a completely unrelated third party constantly trying to fucking inject themselves in between

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it really fascinating, how these people think everything is a complete non-issue, unless money is involved. The society can fuck itself, but if their bank account is at risk, then it’s scorched earth time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire complaint was based on nothing too. They claimed he’s orchestrating some crazy financial scheme, and getting paid 6 digits from it, when he’s not only doing it for free, but can’t even participate in the initiative to begin with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Japanese corporations overwork people to literal death, but at least you’re not going to be laid off 2 months into a new job. Not as big of a flex as they think it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the live-service dream crashed back down to earth? | Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  x as a service has always been a net negative for the consumer, and a net positive for the seller.

  It strips them away from responsibility, because you can sell incomplete dogshit under a promise of future patches, or push something out for a price, and then continue raising the price, as you pump out more stuff into the system.

  In the case of games specifically, we’ve all seen the typical outcomes. Low effort slop, with a flood of “micro” transactions at a later date, or complete abandonment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The connector itself is perfectly fine, which is incredible, and exactly what people wanted. Plus there’s a ton of room for technological improvement under the hood, if needed. USB/Thunderbolt standards spread for a whole range of specs now, all under the Type-C connector

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Against the Storm - Nightwatchers DLC Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: OpenAI to release web browser in challenge to Google Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When does Trump finally start taking accountability?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.

  Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving
