- Comment on 'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 2 days ago:
Video Game Jounalism missed the step to professional, independent work. Either by work ethic or by an industry playing the consumer and being outside of legislatives eye.
Like how can a honest, self-paying journalist compete in marketing and access to sources, when companies can blacklist them and at the same time allow exclusive time and content access to willful pawns? - and google and consumers support it.

- Comment on In psychotherapists vs. ChatGPT showdown, the latter wins, new study finds 1 month ago:
Patients explaining they liked what they heared - not if it is correct or relevant to the cause. There is not even a pipeline for escalation, because AIs don’t think.

- Comment on Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens 6 months ago:
Holding forward during the loading screen is not better than being free to do anything.
Noone is against background loading. This is a given. People are against pseudo interaction.
- Comment on Telegram is exposing their users privacy. 6 months ago:
Guys like you see privacy as a monolith, that it never is. Unusable privacy is meanigless as email had shown. Privacy of communications does not mean privacy of communicators and usable authentication can be more important then anonymity.

- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 6 months ago:
Maybe look out for single player games?
Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.
Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.
Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.
