- Comment on European Union finds PornHub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos in breach of the Digital Services Act for allowing minors to access their services 1 week ago:
I’m reading and odd headline about the EU and wonder if it’s the Commission again. Then I‘m reading EU Commission and think lobbyist groups, foreign think tanks and the filthy rich.
- Comment on List of 3rd person shooter-3D platformer hybrids I know of (and looking for more) 1 week ago:
I really enjoyed Sunset Overdrive. The platforming mostly consists of skateboard-esque rail jumping that I actually enjoyed a lot.
- Comment on It's an unlimited plan 1 week ago:
No country is far away. Especially not on the internet. Like, from my perspective America is further away than China and there‘s a huge ocean between us. Still feel their influence in daily life. Distance doesn‘t matter.
- Comment on Capcom says it 'will not implement assets generated by AI into our game content,' but still plans to use AI to 'enhance efficiency and boost productivity' in game development 2 weeks ago:
They will use placeholders but none of these things will male them considerably more productive, I think. They use LLMs because managers got FOMO.
- Comment on To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic 2 weeks ago:
Sure but „GenZ!!!111oneleven“ in the title generates more clicks.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
We‘re getting Minecraft Dungeons II before we‘re getting Minecraft 2.
- Comment on Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations 2 weeks ago:
Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 2 weeks ago:
Playing Minecraft multiplayer in 2010 blew me off my socks and I will never experience anything as intense as that, video game wise.
- Comment on ShitpostID: 4185519047 2 weeks ago:
Paying $14.99/month to Zucciberg corp isn‘t that much different than paying it to Edolph.
- Comment on So what's your take on Pokopia? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe I‘ll wait for the PC release to go on sale. Yeah, I know.
- Comment on Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise after evidence outrage drove engagement, say whistleblowers 2 weeks ago:
They‘re made in two different countries but you‘re basically still right I guess.
- Comment on ShitpostID: 4185519047 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but you still bought the blue checkmark, though.
- Comment on NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus 2 weeks ago:
There‘s also the concept of swarm intelligence in that a lot of people can beat for example a chess grandmaster by democratically voting for each move. This isn‘t super consistent but it happens. Of course tech CEOs claim AI is exactly that but it isn‘t. It doesn‘t make choices like a thousand people in a chess match do. It just rolls a dice and then does some math.
What I‘m trying to say is if 99% of potential costumers says it‘s crap, then it‘s a really really tough sell. To put it mildly. And the backlash from DLSS5 has been huge across the internet.
- Comment on NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus 2 weeks ago:
For me the silver lining is that only devs who are absolute hacks and produce overpriced crap would use this. I don‘t buy their games now and I won‘t buy their slop tomorrow. Personally I don‘t think it will be hard to dodge this for a very, very long time. The hardware to run this is unaffordable and development cycles are huge. This tech could be retro before I have to actually start maneuvering around it.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 2 weeks ago:
Data centers and wasting massive amounts of resources. Name a more iconic duo.
- Comment on Meta is having trouble with rogue AI agents 2 weeks ago:
AI has no agency. It can‘t go rogue. It just does what it‘s made to do, not necessarily what it‘s supposed to do.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 3 weeks ago:
Right? Todd couldn‘t make a decent game anymore, let alone a decent looking game if his life depended on it. It‘s no surprise he embraces slop. He‘s exactly the type of guy to believe the hype.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 3 weeks ago:
To be fair who has two 5090s laying around to use this crap? This isn‘t so much a „generation behind“ thing and more of a „overpriced luxury toy for the top .01%“. There is no market for this. It‘s all smoke and mirrors.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 3 weeks ago:
„No, no! You‘re wrong because…“
And then this charlatan goes on to explain why we‘re right. It‘s exhausting to listen to these gilded clowns.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
It will be cloud subscription based too but you will need a 6090 anyway. 🤑
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
The chud tax. If they have to drop $15k to enjoy games then that‘s fine by me. LOL
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
Nvidia would probably tell you to let your two 5090s constantly run the tool so it can change the Steam storefront and every trailer on Youtube too! In fact let it change how you watch movies with DLSS6! Coming soon™️. I wish I was exaggerating but I can totally imagine them saying this.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
The absolute tone deafness of the AI industry man. Everything about this is terrible. From destroying artistic intent, over making everything look slop to being insanely resource hungry in this economy. There is everything to hate about this. The house of cards can‘t collapse soon enough.
- Comment on "Palworld is going to be the survival crafting game everyone always wanted" and "people will be shocked" at how big 1.0 is, says Pocketpair publishing lead 3 weeks ago:
I was planning on starting a new world once 1.0 drops and was worried how big this update will be. This gives me some confidence. I really like what they have done so far and can‘t wait to see how they‘ll wrap it up.
- Comment on China approves launch of world first brain-computer interface device 3 weeks ago:
Oh I know a good one too! A tankie goes into a bar, does a little whataboutism.
Seriously you people are in desperate need of new material. You won‘t win anyone over with „US bad too!“ We know, but it‘s off topic here.
- Comment on The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games 3 weeks ago:
Could? Should. This is obvious. Only AAA execs don‘t realize it yet because they think cloud gaming will come to the rescue and be adapted on a major scale any minute. I am less optimistic. For AAA that is. This is the year of indie games… again.
- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 3 weeks ago:
Studios like Fromsoft are known for recycling assets to a very noticeable degree. It‘s just part of the game and another reason why AI makes so little sense in the creative world. Studios already have their asset libraries. They don‘t need to prompt something that already exists because they already have it. What they need are new ideas and AI is terrible at delivering that.
- Comment on 'Icky and heartbreaking': The $2 per hour worker behind the OnlyFans boom 3 weeks ago:
There was a media company in Switzerland that advertised chatrooms with your favorite influencers and many many german Influencers advertised it and told people how happy they would be just to have 1on1 chats with their fans.
Of course it turned out it was a huge scam and even though a lot of the advertised influencers were female, the overwhelming majority of paid chatters from the media company were of course guys. Some of those chats got steamy too and the company briefed their staff to love bomb and exploit their customers as much as possible. They even went as far as to fake soft porn images of the influencers they officially worked with.
There was a lot of drama, pointing fingers between influencers and the media company and legal prosecution. But most exploited fans will never see their money back or get damages for being systematically emotionally abused.
- Comment on 'Icky and heartbreaking': The $2 per hour worker behind the OnlyFans boom 3 weeks ago:
This seems to be the business model of our times. It‘s only more obvious with OF but there are parallels to many booming industries.
- Comment on China approves launch of world first brain-computer interface device 3 weeks ago:
It‘s standard „China is 50 years ahead of us!!!“ type media coverage and a core part of Chinese propaganda. They always make these spectacular claims and by the time experts and peer reviews chime in to debunk it or at least express serious doubts there‘s already another wild technology breakthrough claim from China. They know it takes a magnitude of effort to debunk fake news so they‘re always faster than people who actually have to read through their often AI generated slop studies. Even when the tech is technically real it‘s usually blown out of proportions. Even when they accomplish impressive tasks they coat it in lies. That‘s just how Chinese propaganda operates. You have to doubt everything.
