- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 4 weeks ago:
Sorry, I’m confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we’d have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.
Do you think they don’t intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.
Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.
Why is this a scam?
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 4 weeks ago:
Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn’t have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?
… Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it’s weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren’t said. They say enough; if you can’t make complaints based on reality, that’s a bit lazy.
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 4 weeks ago:
Where does he say “have no plan of delivering”, out of interest? I’ve re read it a few times and can’t find that.

Fair enough!
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
Honestly, though - “method or mechanic”, do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

I missed this - what happened? (Searching now)
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 1 month ago:
If a bunch of people are intentionally buying the game, reviewing and refunding without playing it, isn’t that the same?
If they’re reviewing it negatively and then enjoying the game without refunding, I’ve gotta laugh.
- Comment on 10 years later, Apple Pay is amazing — and about to change 2 months ago:
I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.
Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
Certainly sounds more interesting than my original read of it! Sorry about that, I was grumpy.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
I don’t understand how you could understand how LLMs work, and then write this.
Machines can learn that…
Ah, nevermind.
If you’ll excuse me saying, I feel that you are the one who is looking at something and extrapolating.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.
If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”

Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!
- Comment on We finally know what caused the global tech outage - and how much it cost 3 months ago:
Yeah, what’s the jokey parable thing?
A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There’s been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button. “Damn, you going to fire that guy?” “Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?”
(</Blah>)
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.
I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.
- Comment on BioWare's Mark Darrah thinks Veilguard is the first Dragon Age where "the combat's actually fun" 5 months ago:
Mild uh-oh from me, though I had a great time in Origins and everything has been less good since then…

Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?
- Comment on MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies? 7 months ago:
Or, to use your example, reviews that don’t understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅

The “I” in “LLM” stands for intelligence.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I’m currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That’s not reconstruction.
Otherwise, yep, I’m with you there.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
I don’t think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don’t exist in the source.
Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?
- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 8 months ago:
From what the steam reviews say, it’s using Dosbox for the former.
- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 8 months ago:
Just FYI, it generally seems that none of these require origin or the EA app or any more than Steam as DRM.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 8 months ago:
But it’s a hellishly expensive thing that seems to not attract enjoyment from current Firefox users, and seems unlikely to bring new users, and (again) seems to be prioritised over other things that could better use the money, like developers, so…
Why.
- Comment on Some Beeper users say Apple banned their Macs from iMessage 10 months ago:
Really? Sent but not received, I guess? It seems like near any other method has things to show that you’ve sent it, that the server has received it, that the other user(s) received it, that they read it…
And images are… Well, very limited indeed. And costly, if we’re talking MMS!
To me, it’s definitely not the best choice - but I’m not in the states.

- Comment on Lies of P - Discussion 1 year ago:
I was really interested, but heard that they added Denuvo after the review window, which is somewhat offputting.
