  Good. I mean good riddance o7

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My teachers taught me to never ever give my personal data away to strangers for my own safety. Now politicians want to force everyone to do just that. For safety reasons…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why the hell would you use an AI tool for giant data sets of sensible data? Someone needs to go to jail and that company shouldn‘t exist any longer.

  The em-dashes in the title don‘t fill me with confidence for this article about slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Soulless corps and political parties love to put women and especially women of color in positions of power when things go sour. They don‘t expect her to be there for long. She‘s essentially a scapegoat hire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You have that alternative already so when you‘re in that boat nothing really changed. But yes indie games will see the largest growth in the game industry this year for sure. Mega corps can‘t help but shooting themselves in the foot in blind greed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the fundamental problem in the game industry. It became so profitable over the years it attracted the worst kind of people to lead creative endeavors.

  Of course I‘m talking about scum from the finance world and big tech that we‘ve all grown to despise over the years. They don‘t know the consumer or the product. They‘re in it for the money and we can see that in mass layoffs, predatory monetization practices that make other entertainment industries blush and insanely bloated budgets for projects with no vision.

  They‘re disgusting parasites. They‘re killing games and that‘s why I play so much more indie and retro games than AAA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Switches Full Self-Driving to Subscription Only⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Evil company does evil shit. Then again roads will be safer if fewer people have access to it and more annoyed drivers could potentially be a good advertisement for public transport. It‘s not all bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists face steep income decline due to AI, UNESCO finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A steep decline of artistic progress is ahead of us. Things will get reused by corporations even more and we‘ll have to get used to not seeing as many actually new things which I find pretty sad.

  It‘s exactly what happened to civilization in the Blade Runner universe. It may look futuristic but they‘re still seeing the same brands and hearing the same music and jingles from a century ago. There‘s very little actually new in a world where there‘s more content than anyone could consume in a lifetime and nostalgia is commodified to the absolute maximum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember plenty of GBA titles with language options. I used to buy them on flea markets abroad and didn‘t know a lick of english. I find it absurd that this one wouldn‘t have that option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am aware attention is the currency of the internet but games do exist outside of it. Unlike crypto. Their target group may overlap to some degree but games and unregulated gambling are still different things. Even when gambling is involved in games those markets are separated from the actual game like in CS2. That’s the extreme case and you can still play that game as normal without ever opening a crate. Games do not compete with crypto unless developers desperately try to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s funny. Because I was assured by this very community that it was when Tencent bought 30% of Larian Studios and they kept lying about having no share holders. They also have money in Fromsoft and Remedy by the way but I‘m eager to hear how Control and Elden Ring are shit because of Tencent alongside Baldur‘s Gate 3. You know’ since it‘s „never a nothingburger“.

  You know, dealing in absolutes and all that. To me this is a case of people warping reality to make sense of the world when they lack information. In reality you simply have no answers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know there are Nintendo fans and then there are Pokemon fans. They have a reputation of not really being into games but being into everything Pokemon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really wish media would differentiate between different TikSlops. It‘s like Americans adopted the metric system but what they call meter is just a foot with a new label.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto? Really? What data have they been looking at? I would say different people engage with these mediums for completely different reasons. Gaming being the more casual activity while crypto is for addicts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t really see a future where game consoles die but gaming PCs don‘t because of hardware shortages. It‘s either cloud all the way or this becomes the era of mobile gaming even for core gamers.

  Personally I hope we can somewhat return to normal in a few years. That is after the bubble popped and even the last investor realized most data centers won‘t get built anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tencent invests in everything. This in a nothingburger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 price, PS6 release could be impacted by memory shortage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m really not a fan of chinese hardware for several reasons and think their reputation of tech prowess is overblown but they will definitely step up their game out of necessity. The question is if they‘ll just supply their own data centers and let end consumers left in the rain as well. I‘m afraid there simply won‘t be any affordable hardware for us this decade anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 price, PS6 release could be impacted by memory shortage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And still taking my job because as it turns out our employers actually have very low standards and only kept yelling at us for the fun of the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 price, PS6 release could be impacted by memory shortage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But also you only get to have 4 hours of screen time a day because they can‘t afford or even build enough data centers in a timely manner. You suddenly get to meet up with friends and family much more often and doom scrolling is becoming a rare sight at the dinner table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess we could chalk it up to bad journalism because the example was purely anecdotal. It‘s frustrating for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla rolls first steering wheel-less Cybercab unit off the line before solving autonomy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily Tesla‘s firsts are always fabricated media spectacles so I don‘t expect this unit there to actually be used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That‘s what annoys me the most about all of this. The reasoning of the LLM doesn‘t matter because that‘s not actually why it happened. Once again bad journalism falls on it‘s face when talking about word salad as if it was a person.

  So you want a game where you can go… postal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s billionaires pour cash into elections as big tech seeks new allies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand to not see India as a real democracy right now but not in the context of framing the USA as the poster child of how democracy fails. In that instance India is far larger still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s billionaires pour cash into elections as big tech seeks new allies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US is hardly a good example for democracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So can we expect ChatGPT to become a shareholder hive mind then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.
