What’s your opinion on using 8K TV as a monitor?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 4 days ago:
Yeah. Similar sentiment here. For me, spending $20 is my special way of flipping the bird at Nintendo and every other greedy AAA studios for wanting to jack up the price of games.
- Comment on ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks 4 days ago:
Extraction shooter market is getting crowded quick. It’s probably wise move by Tarkov devs to bank some money before Arc Raiders comes out on October 30th. I have a feeling Arc Raiders just might dominate the extraction shooter market for broad general audience. I’m sure more hardcore extraction shooter fans will stick with Tarkov but I don’t see Tarkov will appeal to the masses. I hear developers of The Division might be working on an extraction shooter too. It’s quite ironic since they accidentally stumbled onto the extraction shooter idea and just now figured out there may be a demand for the genre. There is Marathon but I have no idea what’s going on with that game. I’m not sure if Bungie or Sony knows what will happen to that game.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 1 week ago:
What a disappointing week. I was looking to replace my five year old iPhone with an android phone and now I’m just stumped. Pixel 10 looked pretty good but then this sudden verification requirement news hit. Both platform are now equally crap. The hell with both of these shitty companies. Maybe I’ll go full retro and get a dumb phone instead.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards not eligible for preservation by Japan’s National Diet Library, officials say 1 week ago:
If game developers don’t think their product is valuable enough to be preserved, why should I think it’s worth money and buy it?
- Comment on Change your profile to Clippy (call to action) 2 weeks ago:
This sort of thing is reason why I stopped paying attention to Louis Rossman. I guess when someone lives inside a social media bubble for so long their reality gets warped enough to think changing a profile picture is the way to make a difference in the world.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 3 weeks ago:
Sam Altman has gone into PR and hype overdrive lately. He is practically everywhere trying to distract the media from seeing the truth about LLM. GPT-5 has basically proved that we’ve hit a wall and the belief that LLM will just scale linearly with amount of training data is false. He knows AI bubble is bursting and he is scared.
- Comment on To land Meta’s massive $10 billion data center, Louisiana pulled out all the stops. Will it be worth it? 1 month ago:
Louisiana has been doing this for decades. It’s the same old story of large corporations getting massive tax breaks while little guys gets screwed over.
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 2 months ago:
I remember the exact moment when death of XBOX console basically started. It was XBOX One announcement where Don Mattrick messed up the rollout so bad no one knew how their always online DRM system worked. Sony made this video in response. Also there is this disaster of an interview where he said you should buy XBOX 360 if you can’t be online 24/7. Microsoft basically took it for granted that gamers were in their pocket and they could focus on dominating the livingroom by adding tv related features that gamers didn’t care about. Also Kinect was initially mandatory which made the console $100 more than PS4. XBOX lost console marketshare and they never recovered since then.

This could be the first sign of AI bubble bursting.
- Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets 3 months ago:
This is fourth time a confirmed plagiarism happened at Bungie in recent years. There is also an ongoing lawsuit over accusation of Red War story theft. This isn’t some lone rogue employee issue. It’s a company culture issue originating from the top. I think Sony needs to step in and clean house to address the systemic problem.

Looks like GOG servers are struggling at the moment. Claiming the game isn’t working at right now.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 5 months ago:
Gaming market as a whole seems to be going through a correction of sort and this is the time when Nintendo decides to raise the price? Good luck with that Nintendo.
I along with just about everyone here probably have a massive back catalogue of games on Steam to ride out whatever is currently happening in the gaming industry. Maybe I’ll just chill over by the corner and watch the gaming market craters itself into the ground.

What about telecom? I still don’t see consumers benefiting from this.

What about foreign companies? Will they be even allowed to buy Chrome? I’m not sure.

- Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek 5 months ago:
Here is a guy explaining the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure to have a large distance between my car and one of these shitty truck on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 5 months ago:
From what I’ve heard this game is very CPU demanding title. To get a decent performance you have to be on platform with DDR5 and lots of CPU cores. Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on. If you are trying to run the game on RTX 3000 series card, you should try turning on FSR frame gen. I suppose one can argue that game is not very well optimized and therefore it needs all that much hardware to run well and you’re not entirely wrong there. I think devs were too ambitious with all the graphical bells and whistles and found themselves in this situation.
- Comment on Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025 6 months ago:
Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I’ve been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don’t even have to bother. RIP
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
GrayJay is an app associated with Louis Rossmann and lot of people seems to like him and therefore has gotten lot of traction lately but there is something you should know. This app is not open source even though source may be available. The app is not licensed in any existing open source license such as GPL, BSD, or MIT, etc. The source license is basically does not allow freedom of redistribution of modified code so therefore it fails the minimal definition of open source. Louis Rossmann has gone on the record on video saying he will sue people if someone were to do something with code he does not approve of whatever that means. Number of people have tried to tell him not to call GrayJay an open source app but he simply ignored them. It’s pretty clear he is now just calling this app open source for marketing purposes which I think is purposely misleading and deceptive.
If you want to buy the app because you find it useful and you don’t care about open source, that’s perfectly fine. However if you believe that supporting an open source ecosystem is part of the reason for supporting GrayJay, then you should know what’s really happening here.
