Crazy how he manipulated people into fucking kids like that.

If it helps, chaos theory still slaps really hard. Highly recommend a replay if it’s been a while.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 6 days ago:
Every time someone uses lumen the frame rate drops by roughly 2/3rds, it’s nuts.
- Comment on Sony Patents Buttonless Adaptive Controller With Customizable Layouts 1 week ago:
Yeah nah, steam controllers were doing similar shit for dpads a decade ago. Even with indentations, it just wasn’t enough to actually feel where you were on the controller.
- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 1 week ago:
Oh actually are they? I admit I assumed they were doing the standard bullshit of everything is free to get you integrated, then they start charging. Actually maybe that already happened and this is the result of that.
- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 1 week ago:
How would that even work as well? The ads will be in the website, doesn’t most stuff run through API calls? If you force everyone to start paying per call, the business model falls apart instantly.

Make it less shit dumbass
- Comment on Pope Leo XIV brings not peace but a sword to AI oligarchs and a slop-mad world in new address, says it's 'Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts' 1 week ago:
Dude I think at this point you’re medically required to write that fanfiction.
- Comment on Grok floods X with sexualized images of women and children: Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images, including 23,000 of children in 11 days 2 weeks ago:
Hey so question, how come we have to push so hard for a child porn machine to be called a child porn machine?
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
Like a president but good?

Feels like most trending tech these days. I’m so tired.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 2 weeks ago:
Which city? I’ve been keeping an eye on her news and I still feel like I miss shit
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. People keep going on and on about how democrats would never get away with this shit, it’s because that’s the role they play. They tall poppy the actual good people out of the system, and present themselves as the good option when the only other choice is a rampaging fascism.
Like, I get the frustration, but at this point if feels too in the nose to miss anymore. Like people are getting gunned down randomly in the streets, it’s not that complicated.

You are speaking my language
- Comment on Choosing to live fucking sucks sometimes 3 weeks ago:
I feel that, in theory I’m mostly the same, but it’s the traumatic events that really deliver the haymaker and get under my defences unfortunately. Things slowly taking away my ability to function won’t kill me, but they do make the big events more powerful over me.

This is the best article I’ve seen in a while
- Comment on One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference 3 weeks ago:
That’s kind of how I feel lately. I’ve always tried to act well, be kind, etc, but sometimes all I feel like is I’ve exhausted myself for no reason. Society is too big to see the consequences of your actions I think.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 3 weeks ago:
Yep, that was exactly the reason.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 4 weeks ago:
There’s a problem in movies that I keep thinking about in relation to this.
Movies often use music from other movies in early cuts to get something rough together. They time the scenes around the music, they work with it for ages, and finally it’s time to make an original track to replace the rough copy.
But they have to use something that’s the same tempo, because of how the scenes were timed around the old music. And it has to fit in the same vibe, because that’s what the old music felt like.
So you end up with a piece of music that’s usually pretty close to what they made, and a lot of Hollywood osts sound almost identical. When I see people talk about using gen ai for placeholders and concept art, I see that same problem turning up.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 4 weeks ago:
God that sounds nice actually, I miss it terribly

- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 4 weeks ago:
Oh absolutely, the strategy has always been to secure the market, make it difficult to leave the service, and jack up the profit. The only thing we can do is recognise it happening and work to make alternatives available, work on our own skillsets instead of relying on their tools.
Which is a shame, but the mask is off as of late, and we can’t do much about that.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 5 weeks ago:
I believe they get weird about local accounts on recent versions of 11, even ones that already existed. I’m not going to verify, but yeah I think the point is they’re moving towards them basically not existing.

I mean you joke, but the earth does bulge in the center a little
- Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users 2 months ago:
Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 2 months ago:
Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?
- Comment on UZDoom the successor to GZDoom has a first proper release out now 2 months ago:
Doom still has a massive community for custom maps and mods, entire games have been made using gzdoom as an engine. Myhouse.wad made the goty list on IGN back in 2023. Safe to say yes, people do play these a lot.
I have to say I take issue with the idea of something being objectively worse, that’s not how objectively works. Objective is a statement like “doom came out over 30 years ago”.
