- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney blasts Steam for putting AI tags on games — says move is ‘irresponsible of Valve’ 2 weeks ago:
It has no effect on rankings it literally just shows a tag to the user. If a customers response to the presence of that tag is not to buy the product, doesn’t that represent some sort of cultural problem that should concern a CEO, rather than complaining about the presence of the feature?

Who said anything about eating less? Exercise is very good for many things including keeping fit, and some people say it helps with their mood although I can’t attest to that personally, but to be honest if you’re doing it to lose weight you’re better off just dieting (the right kind of diet, not just these fad ones that don’t work and just leave you hungry all the time).
I can eat one kit kat finger and basically waste an entire 60 minute workout session.
- Comment on The AI warning for Steam browser plugin adds Steam search filtering 3 weeks ago:
I’ll have to check it out. It’s never really occurred to me before that there could be plugins to add additional functionality.
What steam really needs is a “I found the game you’re searching for, but I’m pretty certain you actually mean this other game with a very similar name and that’s actually popular” feature. They can call it The Outer Wilds feature. I was trying to get my friends to download it so we could talk about it, and he kept telling me about this RPG it kept coming up with.

Do people actually browse steam via web browser? I just use the actual steam storefront app since I’m going to be in it anyway when I play the game.

You might as well just write it in Singlish. It’s not a real language so it would be difficult to write a technical paper. What is Esperanto for hydrodynamics?
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 4 weeks ago:
I’m just imagining the scammers losing their minds trying to get my parents to install steam so they can buy gift cards.
If my mother is not receiving a constant stream of instruction she’ll get bored and start clicking on random buttons. There’s a reason that all my text messages for her are full of random emojis and gifs that she’s accidentally added

Yeah when I worked at Apple I got so sick of trying to explain to people that the American IRS are not going to sue them for $100,000 if they don’t give them some Apple gift cards.
I also at the Apple gift cards were especially funny because they were for such low denominations

It’s getting as bad as picking a Linux kernel. No matter what you pick, there’s always something wrong with it.
