- Comment on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand 1 day ago:
I kill people in GTA 5. I don’t kill people in Hentai Incest Generator 3000. Yet someone prefers to see my transaction only for the first one, citing damages to “the brand”.

…or to be thrown down.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 2 weeks ago:
We already have Steam Marketplace. You can buy stuff with your Steam Wallet.
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally 2 weeks ago:
A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.
- Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’ 3 weeks ago:
Online function is a very broad definition. User is basically left with a crippled version of what they had. No ability to update anything or download new games. Not much different from a brick.
- Comment on NVIDIA is full of shit 4 weeks ago:
They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 4 weeks ago:
Freelancer 2. Will not forget.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 5 weeks ago:
With “optimized for gaming” premise? That’s obviously nothing more than “hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play”.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 month ago:
I can’t call ethical an app that relies on Electron.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 month ago:
Wish they could use Gemini to generate ad clicks instead.
- Comment on WhatsApp is officially getting ads 1 month ago:
…Electron inside.

Schrodinger’s truth?
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 2 months ago:
I only mean that the requirements are high enough for someone to stop using it at some point, losing users of that server in the process. It might be different if it didn’t require running a server. Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

They probably couldn’t watch Netflix that time 😔

- Comment on Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue 2 months ago:
I’ll think about if they also somehow prohibit 3rd party clients from removing that AI garbage.

I really need some free time in my life to try those arrs with unraid, and telegram bots too…
- Comment on Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue 2 months ago:
Pretty much yes. It has channels so there are news channels, personal channels etc. At some point when I discovered Twitter for myself I hated it so much for not being able to simply read subscribed accounts just like telegram does it. It’s too convenient as a feeds app.

My biggest gripe with it is about electron. I refuse to keep it running on my PC. Even the damn Whatsapp converted to something better.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 2 months ago:
Seems like you have to keep something running for it to work. Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working. Though it would help so much if it would be p2p.
- Comment on I felt sorry for them 2 months ago:
Still, most of bad stuff happening to people are not because something was hacked, but because someone leaked something. One person in a group chat would be enough.

Yeah.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 2 months ago:
Nah, the ability works during the broadcast, without such delays.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 2 months ago:
Ability to teleport any words I want into the mind of someone who is broadcasting or streaming anything over internet or radio or tv, that I currently watch or listen, as long as the broadcast is going on. For them it would be like hearing me as if I was in the same room. They won’t know anything about me other than realize I’m one of their listeners or viewers. It works only for one person at a time - the streamer/broadcaster or one of them. They can choose to tell other listeners what they heard, or not.

Actually, 8.
No. Actually, you don’t even control which fingers you lose. You lose one big finger once and you can’t snap with that hand anymore.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 2 months ago:
Wait till you realize this project’s purpose IS to force AI to waste even more resources.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
another player to try an compete with Steam
Here is the mistake. It does not trying to compete. It only tries to catch as many fish in its bucket as possible, while leveraging (burning) Fortnite money.
It’s a wasted effort, and it will never come close to Steam like this. It may even die along with Fortnite, or degrade further.

Sharing a document in Google docs means sharing a link and in many cases with read-only access.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
They didn’t start the fight. They were sued. If you think “picking a fight with Nintendo” is something you can do any time, and on your own volition, you must be missing something.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
Getting popular to that point was not in their plans. You can’t judge their success.
And yes it can legally exist. See other creature collector games (that are just not that popular yet).
