  The straight-up lies are what really get to me. Bullshots and fake-ass trailers for almost a decade. Hype for shit that was never going in. And now people just say “it’s great, what’s your problem?” like they want it to happen again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So excited for the Cybertruck⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally saw one and was shocked at how stupid it looks. It’s like Elon had a grudge with babyproofed corners.

  People have been remarking that numerous countries are unable to join PSN and this will lock them out of the game. But can someone explain to me how that could be true? Are they literally not on the drop-down menu for selecting your country?

  I just got “done” (i.e. bored) with my last colony, this timing is perfect.

  If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

  This game has like ten difficulty modes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside from TF2–and even that I got a bit bored with–most all of my interest in multiplayer FPS died along with Unreal Tournament. Doesn’t feel like having fun is the goal anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn’t feel like you were just being presented for “dateable” you were if you didn’t want to be.

  I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99… to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

  If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There’s lots of essence to EQ that you just don’t get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I’ve had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.

  I refuse to touch anything related to Facebook. I’m shocked that people would use Threads or Instagram for that matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cofounder of Google's AI division DeepMind says everybody will have their own AI-powered 'chief of staff' over the next five years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This sentiment in the current climate is stupid, but I do think the concept is inevitable. We didn’t always have phones on us 24/7, phones are already somewhat powered by AI. So what will everyone having their own AI look like in a way that doesn’t just sound like a chatGPT joke? What would make it a desirable future?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am potentially okay with this. The entertainment industry has been creatively bankrupt for too long. Actors will move to more independent work, more interesting and experimental content will get made, corporate will advance AI technology. Win-win?

  This is the exact thing that I expected them to implement, and the dealbreaker for me.
