- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 weeks ago:
Yep - they briefly led in video gen but quickly were overtaken by other groups. There are even open source local models that perform really well now.
They could conceivably catch back up but how does that help them when their priority is chasing the AGI/ASI dragon?
- Comment on Death Stranding 2 looks amazing in the 21:9 ultra-wide 2 weeks ago:
100%. The only gripes I have:
Not all games support it. Looking directly at Fromsoft specifically. It’s 2026 and ultrawide monitors are here to stay.
Baked in black bars on the top and bottom of videos to force them to be 16:9. Utterly useless for everyone, even 16:9 users, and ruins the native ultrawide experience you might have had with that trailer or whatnot.
- Comment on Behaviour Interactive have acquired 7 Days to Die developers The Fun Pimps 2 weeks ago:
Ha no and it probably explains the sudden recent push to finally get out of early access
- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 2 weeks ago:
Sony has gotten so good at developing excellent gaming devices and then letting them languish. Speaking as a PSVR early adopter.

Huh new subgenre? I always considered it already part of the well-established genre of narrative driven walking simulators.
- Comment on Meirl 4 weeks ago:
Yeah where I live there is this funny obsession with waiting for the walk light and soo many people just step out without looking. Meanwhile you will often literally get people grumbling at you if you walk on a red no matter how clear the street is.
- Comment on Giving credit to the people who maintain our roads 4 weeks ago:
Yeah and maybe put it a bit further out so people would have a little more of a heads up
- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 4 weeks ago:
Pretty much all the games made by Nintendo themselves. Mario Odyssey is great too.

Ah you beat me to it
- Comment on We all forget that for a time they were out of style. This 1940 magazine proudly announced that they were back 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure you are right - it was probably the fashion scene that was a slave to these trends and everyone else was like ‘pretty happy with them either way’.

True! I love the retro look but the hair thing isn’t ideal

Yep Yaxi, between that and the built in comfort slider in the headphones it’s comfortable enough

I did get aftermarket pads for them but they are not made for long term listening. But that is beside the point - they show you don’t need to spend $1000 to get great sound and they are only one example of that.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 1 month ago:
The eye opening moments for me were
-
Listening to $35 Porta Pro headphones and realizing you don’t need a lot of money for great sound
-
ABX testing and realizing I couldn’t tell the difference AT ALL and certainly couldn’t remember the last sound bite well enough to make a real comparison anyway.

- Comment on Mods recommendation for elden rings 1 month ago:
Most important things to know:
- Level vigor
- Iframes - understand and get used to the dodge roll mechanic
- Upgrade the weapon with your favorite moveset once you have the base stats to use it
The rest has been said here. No need for mods, just try something else and/or go somewhere else if you hit a wall. There are a few difficulty spikes but they are overcome with additional leveling

Looking forward to trying this! Just the kind of game I like that expands on the art form and show they can be more than just games.

Ha damn there was a tiny voice inside telling me I was getting the quote wrong while I typed too. Should have listened to it.

- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 2 months ago:
Yeah combat aged very poorly but it does a host of other things someone should take and expand on.
- Comment on Day 559 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
I really had fun with it though the city building aspect starts to feel too loading bar heavy. I wish they had a more clever way to disguise that aspect of it.

Is that true? I haven’t heard MS say anything about enabling local LLMs. Genuinely curious and would like to know more.
- Comment on OpenXcom Extended takes over from OpenXcom for the classic X-COM / UFO: Enemy Unknown 2 months ago:
Do any of the new Xcom games capture the same magic? I tried to get into on of them and I wasn’t sure if they had lost something or if I was remembering a childhood game too fondly.
