  all I’m sayin’ is it’s kinda silly to call the Steam Controller a new product like the other two

  Valve can indeed count to three.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. We’re already bootstrapping, re-tooling, and improving the entire process of development to the best of our collective ability. Constantly. All through good, old fashioned, classical system design.

  Like you said, a lot of people don’t even put that to use, and they remain very effective. Yet a tiny speck of AI tech and its marketing is convincing people we’re about to either become gods or be usurped.

  It’s like we took decades of technical knowledge and abstraction from our Computing Canon and said “What if we didn’t use that anymore?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn’t true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun yet unknown gameplay MECHANICS? (POLL)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.

  I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I’d like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.

  There’s a lot of uncanny movement for sure. It looks almost like it’s stabilized sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think neoliberals would do that?

  Of course it’s just bad writing, but I kind of wouldn’t put it past management to try shoving their multitude of codebases through an LLM at this point.
