- Comment on TikTok's 'Addictive Design' Found to Be Illegal in Europe 10 hours ago:
Are you sure? They have been ignoring virtually everything with infinite scrolling. TikTok is the extremely rare exception where they actually address it.
- Comment on Amazon misses 4Q profit estimates despite better-than expected growth in cloud computing business 1 day ago:
So they invested like $100 billion in AI just for the stock price to slide down by 10%? And Jeff was already so excited for consumers and especially gamers to not own anything anymore.
- Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 1 day ago:
We‘re talking about running MP3s on them, you know? Something that has been done on mich smaller devices for well over 20 years.
- Comment on Steam Hardware: Launch timing and other FAQs - Steam News 1 day ago:
And here I was ready to finally give VR a real go this year with the Steam Frame. It‘s probably not going to happen anymore.
- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 1 day ago:
Oh so they will actually not focus on GPUs as end consumer products for you and me. They’re just like Nvidia and AMD. This news really just shows how cooked gaming is.
- Comment on Was there censorship on TikTok after the U.S. takeover? 1 day ago:
You mean it‘s still censored?
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 days ago:
The antithesis to what you and OP are describing would be The legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. But even fans of that formula are tired of it after 2 games in the series because as much freedom as it gives you, it‘s overwhelming.
I think what I‘m trying to say is that trends have cycles. They come and go. What you said is a valid opinion that I can kot possibly disagree with. However, these down sides become more apparent with time until we‘ve had enough and move on to the next thing. I am sure we‘ll remember most of those games fondly one day regardless. Nostalgia will kick in one day and we‘re able to look past the flaws again.
- Comment on Palantir declares itself the guardian of Americans' rights 2 days ago:
How very reassuring to hear for governments around the world using it. I am sure they‘re happy to hear this.
- Comment on Material's Printed Batteries Put Power in Every Nook and Cranny 2 days ago:
They‘ve been using oddly shaped batteries for phones for probably more than a decade now and no, they‘re not good for repairability at all.
- Comment on The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat 2 days ago:
I can‘t decide whether you‘re being way too optimistic about AI in the foreseeable future or about millennials.
- Comment on ChatGPT is down for many users in major OpenAI outage - 9to5Mac 2 days ago:
The reason is that‘s the place they‘re licking when visiting Washington or Florida.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Responds to Stock Price Drop Following Google Genie Announcement: 'I Think People Are Confusing Tools With Hits' - IGN 2 days ago:
Do AAA game CEOs even realize AI is the main reason sales are down? The very hardware to run your slop has become unaffordable, you clowns! Bloating about AI is about the most tone deaf thing you can do right now.
Besides, we don‘t want slop in our games. If you actually used your products you would know why.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 days ago:
I didn‘t like the first one so this was a hard pass for me. However I didn‘t even know the sequel was out yet. This thing completely drowned among better priced indie games.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 3 days ago:
I get the impression Ubisoft wants to lay off as many people as possible anyway. They don‘t care who so as long as they can meet some quota. I’m guessing they‘re trying to push operating costs down while they‘re looking for buyers of their IPs.
- Comment on "We don't use it, we have no interest in it" Romeo is a Dead Man's Suda 51 dismisses AI development tools, says AI images and videos "feel kinda 'off'" 3 days ago:
He is absolutely right about that.
I had yet another tiring conversation about AI usage with my boss at work the other day. Had to look at examples from competitors and how they use AI. What can I say? It was slop. Felt off. It wasn‘t the worst thing I have seen but god damn the shit people suddenly look past when AI is involved drives me up the walls. That sruff would not fly if I delivered results of similar quality. But when it‘s AI people half their expectations apparently.
So yeah props to Suda 51 for not conveniently starting a tangent about AI when discussing wages with his employees.

That‘s rare for small handhelds but it doesn‘t really change anything.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 days ago:
The people at SpaceX are poisoning landscapes that used to be neighborhoods with toxic waste because the company doesn‘t give a shit about the environment, people or the planet. Fuck whoever works at SpaceX and partakes in this. Oh, they‘re also making Musk even more powerful so that‘s a double L.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 days ago:
The stupid thing is that it‘s perfectly legal as long as nobody looks into it and because it‘s a US corporation nobody will look into it.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 days ago:
Time to break it up because it‘s a monopoly that spans over several industries for no good reason at all but oh wait the USA is a dysfunctional mess so nothing will be done about it.
- Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 days ago:
I mean they‘re little Android devices so I expect them to pull that off. Most of them can comfortably run games like Hollow Knight or N64 roms.
- Comment on Loops is Now on the App Store 4 days ago:
I do not understand the desire to have alternatives to the world‘s dumbest format. We had good video platforms that worked. Users had agency. Short form video stripped everything away that made the internet a great place ones. It‘s poison for society. It needs no alternatives. It just needs to implode.
- Comment on Game companies see share prices plummet following the launch of Google's very limited virtual world generator, Project Genie 4 days ago:
Pretty much, yeah. Markets have become a circus for clowns to prove each other how reckless they are. They haven‘t reflected growth in a while. Instead they have become tools to hollow out entire industries or serve as glorified Ponzi schemes.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 5 days ago:
Unfortunately this would be a gift for stupid liars because only honest people who seek the truth would use it. It‘s a good example for a way to hell that was paved with good intentions. Beautifully naive.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
No you didn‘t. This was an actual title in the largest game community the other day. I don‘t remember the title either, though.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
You didn‘t say the name either. 😭
- Comment on 6 days ago:
I wish I can upvote this 100 times.
That wouldn‘t be very democratic now, would it?
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 6 days ago:
The overly rich own most large news outlets so it‘s not surprising.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
I appreciate modding projects like this one and TF2 remains one of my most played games of all time. I‘m through with it but godspeed to them!
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 1 week ago:
Some games with Kernel level anti-cheat still have linux support, though. It‘s always worth checking because some game devs actually care about Linux when you would expect the don‘t.
- Comment on Tesla: 2024 was bad, 2025 was worse as profit falls 46 percent 1 week ago:
And now he lies about robot butlers in every household becoming a thing. I can not wait to see what Sci-fi novel he lazily copies next.
