  I love this news, but I wish we revisited the Liberal Democrats’ efforts in 2010 to insulate the existing housing stock. My mum’s 1970s house got loft insulation for free from the coalition government and it’s now so good at retaining heat.

  I now live in a Victorian house that is extremely expensive to heat and I have to have windows/vents open to prevent damp. I wish we got free loft insulation…

  Day one patches have been the standard for over a decade, and they are as common on the PC as they are on consoles…

  The majority of games from the last 15 years that you install with a disc will require a patch to run. You could keep your pc or console off network and play the original buggy version on the disc if you want…

  I’ll simply not use social media that requires my real identity.

  It’s not like they can regulate them all, and as soon as they try to restrict the more aggregator-y ones like Reddit and Lemmy, other niche ones will pop up.

  The government doesn’t win this one.

  So a couple months ago when he needed to make noises like “USA! USA!” he moaned about NATO and claimed the UK never really helped in Afghanistan, and now that he actually wants help in his illegal war he is moaning about us not letting him use our resources?

  Piss off, you old fat paedophilic cunt.

  Yeah you wouldn’t rename bestiality pornography even though the animals in that can’t consent.

  Do you think the savings they make by letting staff go outweigh the occasional PR hit they get from AI hallucinations like this?

  I wonder if, as more companies do it, these sort of things just happen more and more and become standard operating procedure.

  Honestly glad this isn’t being forgotten about. When Reeves announced this I was certain they would only go for the small fry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Amazon Fresh stores in UK to close⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon did not confirm how many staff would be affected by the closures but it said it planned to offer workers new roles in other parts of the business.

  “You can’t work at the store anymore but how about breaking your back in one of our huge warehouses?”

  Sad for the people losing their jobs.

  I always thought the concept was cool, but wasn’t there a news piece a couple years back that the “sensitive cameras” were actually just outsourced humans watching the camera feeds and noting what they took?

  Agree with this - I wanted to love Hollow Knight so much, and there was a lot I did love about it, but I really struggle with that specific type of 2d platformer.

  The latest LLM’s are pretty damn good as a research assistant - that was its original purpose. Using chatgpt as your first go at researching a new subject (like self hosting) is perfectly valid.

  Good for you! For GTA VI, I definitely wanna play it as quickly as possible and £70 is a pretty reasonable price for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m responding to a comment assuming it’ll be nothing but a “pay to win” game, despite any real evidence of that - I’m pointing out the expectations of GTA VI.

  This sub is like Reddit on steroids. Just a bunch of contrarian kids trying to start arguments on the internet. Bizarre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The article you’re commenting on is literally about the game’s unsustainable hype and its impact on the industry.

  It won Most Anticipated at TGA.

  This is far from my favourite series, just enjoy shining a light on insane takes on Lemmy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh? For £70 I’m getting -

  • Huge open world
  • Very fun and emergent gameplay
  • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
  • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
  • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

  But you’ve decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

  I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird vibes in this comment section.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you seriously questioning whether there is any hype for GTA?

  GTAV Online may have hindered Rockstar’s goodwill for fans of the single player mode, but the Online mode rakes in cash.

  RDR2 released in 2018 and is widely considered one of the best single player games with one of the best open worlds.

  GTA VI is, unquestionably, the most anticipated game of the year. To suggest otherwise is to be insanely disingenuous on your part.

  I just don’t have the patience to wait even more. I have a PS5, so why wouldn’t I play it on release??
