Is he still carrying his little human shield around with him everywhere or can someone Luigi this fucker already?
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 week ago:
It also had some big gameplay departures from 1 & 2. I’m not talking about being an FPS (although no longer having to worry about accuracy was pretty significant) but the fact that putting on different clothing magically made you more intelligent, and that it was a lot easier to do everything.
In FO3 you can pick all the locks, hack all the computers, pass all the conversation checks, and take on hordes of enemies all by yourself. In FO1+2 you had to pick the couple of things you were good at and not be able to do the other things until your next run. - Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 1 week ago:

- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 2 weeks ago:
why don’t they program them to look up math programs and outsource chess to other programs when they’re asked for that stuff?
Because the AI doesn’t know what it’s being asked, it’s just a algorithm guessing what the next word in a reply is. It has no understanding of what the words mean.
“Why doesn’t the man in the Chinese room just use a calculator for math questions?”

Kinda of actually

I’m reminded of an early model that was trained to find if tanks were hiding pictures of forests / jungles. Was doing great with the training data then was given new images and seemed to be guessing wildly.
Turns out it in the training data all the pictures with tanks were taken on cloudy days.
- Comment on Who did this 😂😂😂 2 weeks ago:
I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we’d turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn’t wear out the switch on the computer.
People actually thought you’d have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

Invest in the future? But how will that affect today’s profits?

How long before people get complaints about something said in the summary which is incorrect?
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 3 weeks ago:
The business model isn’t terrible, it makes money, but it is terrible for the consumer
I am aggressively opposed to anything that is profitable at the expense of the consumer. That is a terrible business model.

I also don’t want to be looking at the dirty dishes throughout the week as I’m waiting for the machine to be full enough to run.

You are not entitled to get things the way you want them.
“You want to purchase something and use it the way you want to? How entitled can you get?”
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 4 weeks ago:
How DARE you suggest things should be better for me, the consumer, instead of the way our corporate overlords feel is more profitable!
Well, that’s certainly an… Interesting take on someone saying things should be better…
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 4 weeks ago:
This is my personal machine that I own, there is no reason for my operating system to “hide” options from me. If I want to never update my system or delete core operating files that’s my fucking problem to deal with.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 4 weeks ago:
When you pull out “software I didn’t start for six months wants to update”
Did the software “want” to update or “force” an update? There’s a meaningful difference there and windows often doesn’t give you a choice or do anything else while it’s updating.

- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 1 month ago:
You haven’t met a pre teen. You’re also ignoring the problem of false positives.
“It doesn’t matter how strict the punishment is, only criminals will be punished” only works if only criminals are punished. There’s plenty of stories of accounts being banned when no rules were broken.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 1 month ago:
Right, children are known for being well behaved and following the rules…
I remember as a child playing 2 player Tetris on the original Gameboy, which required a cable connecting the two devices. I figured out if I watched my opponent’s height indicator on my screen and saw it drop suddenly I could unplug the cable from my device and not get sent the extra lines. It was a cheat and an exploit that I stumbled upon because I was curious what would happen. That “I wonder what would happen” attitude can now apparently cause Nintendo to purposely brick the device.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 month ago:
patenting, copyrighting, or trademarking concepts or mechanics in video games shouldn’t be allowed at all
It’s not allowed at all in board games. There’s a known issue that someone could completly copy the mechanics of a board game, and as long as they don’t copy the art or the exact text of the rulebook there is no legal means to stop it.
Boardgamers are aware of this, and agree that it is better for development of future games than if someone could own the idea of “rolling a dice”, so if knockoffs do come around they tend to quickly get called out and not purchased.
I don’t know how videogames managed to get different rules.

If my tool sucks, I will tell it so

I open my door, the warning goes off, and I say “thank you car.” It’s better for me mental well being than saying “oh fuck.”

I thank my car when it alerts me that I left the lights on or my keys in the ignition. I’m not anthropomorphizing my car, I’m practicing appreciation for the benefits my tools provide.

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food.
And these rules are for asthetic reasons, not safety, because the processes used kills any bacteria on them already.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 months ago:
Men on the left are capable of empathy, and caring about people other than themselves. As such they are willing to do something for the benefit of their partner because they are capable of getting joy from their partner’s pleasure.
These men literally can’t comprehend why someone would care about making their partner happy if they don’t directly benefit from it.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 months ago:
As someone who played Fallout 2 as a teen it’s not your age, the first 2 have a lot of little things that end up having a big effect, and they are difficult. They do not pull their punches and will happily smack you around.
I restarted Fallout 2 many times when I was first playing it trying to figure out a build I liked.
