- Comment on AI Energy Demand Can Keep Fossil Fuels Alive, Tech Backers Promise World’s Two Biggest Oil Producers 22 hours ago:
Who is going to actually pay for all this AI junk once all the investors decide it’s time to stop “disrupting the market and gaining share” and time to start charging people what it actually costs to run (plus margins)?
Like, I use ChatGPT and Copilot and shit because it’s free, but if it were $5/month I’d happily walk away.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 5 days ago:
Still gonna skip this and hope for a 3DS-like price drop around the holidays. I’m really hoping Nintendo misses their sales targets big time because fuck these prices.
- Comment on Amazon’s Chinese sellers to raise prices or quit US market as tariffs hit 145% 1 week ago:
Yes, this is what tariffs do.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 2 weeks ago:
So basically $450+ to play Nintendo IP games at a current-gen caliber level.
This pricing just sucks. Unless you’re a Mario Kart or DK fanboy, you’re probably better off with PS5 or XSX.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 3 weeks ago:
For real. EA spent north of $10M on streamer sponsorships for the Apex Legends launch and that was like 7 years ago.
- Comment on 'X' Marks xAI's Spot: xAI has acquired X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. 3 weeks ago:
These are some stupid company names.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
LOL what kinda bullshit comment is this?
The people in the White House are idiots. They choose Signal because they’re either dumb/negligent -or- because they have been intentionally avoiding record preservation requirements.
Signal is a solid app for sure, but there dipshits didn’t choose it for being the right tool for the job here, as it certainly is not.
- Comment on Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates 4 weeks ago:
What kind of first-world county would let it slip?
Glances nervously in US
- Comment on People say they prefer stories written by humans over AI-generated works, yet new study suggests that’s not quite true 4 weeks ago:
AI-generated stories are stories written by humans, but watered-down and plagiarized. AI would not be able to write stories without
stealingtraining from human-made stories. - Comment on Day 243 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 5 weeks ago:
The newly added Firefight Classic is a good time as well.

Good luck with that
- Comment on Turok - Next-Gen Update 1 month ago:
What in the world even is this?? Was there ever a prior release on the last gen??
Also, pretty sure XSX/PS5 isn’t “next gen” anymore. They’re solidly current gen, and getting a little long in the tooth.
- Comment on Balatro: Friends of Jimbo (Pack 4) - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
The addition to Game Pass is huge!
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 1 month ago:
No horizontal tab grouping. Tab groups on Chrome are perfect, and the Firefox tab extensions all suck in comparison.
That said, I’m still using Firefox today because the internet is unusable without a good ad blocker.
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 2 months ago:
How would that help here? The only thing Amazon is removing is the ability to download your purchased eBooks to your PC.

Line must go up
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 2 months ago:
Am I an idiot for enjoying my Kindle Paperwhite as an eReader, while at the same time never actually buying books from Amazon?

By my read, this spider is a bro.
- Comment on Has Bluesky’s moment arrived? 5 months ago:
For real. I use Boost and I set it to block “trump” and “musk”, which instantly made Lemmy 100x better. Probably time to add “bluesky” to that list.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
This article is from like 2 years ago. Why is it being posted?
The actual new COD game is Black Ops 6.
- Comment on Balatro - Friends of Jimbo (Pack 2) | Reveal Trailer 5 months ago:
Touch controls are better on the phone.
Personally, I prefer playing with buttons, but I’m old like that.
- Comment on Day 100 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 5 months ago:
This game is great. Every new content drop is big, and they all get my to fire it back up for a couple of weeks.
- Comment on Tinkerers Are Taking Old Redbox Kiosks Home and Reverse Engineering Them 5 months ago:
Most likely, they simply thought the machines would live long enough to be the next guy’s problem.

Well, that’s it, boys. We’ve gone full Blade Runner.
