- Comment on Clone-generating game The Alters may have used AI to generate some writing, despite the lack of a Steam disclosure 1 day ago:
Welp, glad i wasn’t interested to begin with.
- Comment on Hytale studio founder says he'll reach out to Riot in an effort to buy back and revive the game 1 day ago:
The best hope he has for getting people to support him again is probably having ex devs none the vintage story guy tear into him. Until someone who actually does do something tells me he is an idiot but does actually care about releasing a game I’m gonna assume he’s grifting or treating the game the as a hobby he plans on dying without finishing.
- Comment on NGO loses bid to block UK export of military equipment to Israel 1 day ago:
There is just so much bullshit here it’s hard to decide what i want to talk about. A friendly state? Israel? Bullshit. And the idea that a country just doesn’t need to follow laws means law isn’t real in that country.
- Comment on This bill opens the door to scandal, abuse and injustice, disabled activists say after assisted dying bill vote (UK) 2 days ago:
… Man, you ml guys really live up to the rumors.
- Comment on Trump says 'not going to stand' for Netanyahu's continued prosecution 2 days ago:
How long until he tries to pardon bibi? You know he doesn’t understand how it works.
- Comment on US Supreme Court upholds Texas age-check for porn sites 4 days ago:
This is a horrible breach of privacy and I’d like to point out it’s easily bypassed by a VPN and many sites don’t even acknowledge these laws.
- Comment on Abiotic Factor is all set to launch into version 1.0 next month 4 days ago:
Oh man I’ve been waiting to rejoin the science team
- Comment on [Opinion] Why Are Americans Letting Israel Starve Us to Death in Gaza? 1 week ago:
Not really. Most Americans are horrible people. Savages, what we used to think animals were like. We thrive off of self interested cruelty, but don’t even have the intelligence to be self interested about it.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 1 week ago:
It could probably be worth it to keep an active eye on your data even if it remains roughly the same. To keep an established base line, to keep an eye out for changes in environment in specific areas, to monitor the effects of aging, to sell you shit when your eye gets damaged. Probably other evil shit too, or just the paranoid urge to surveil people for no damn reason.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 1 week ago:
Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.
- Comment on Multiplayer stealing sim Thick As Thieves lets you leave snide calling cards when you beat people to the loot 1 week ago:
Cannot wait, thievery is the coolest crime
- Comment on Australian trial says tech for social media teen ban can work 1 week ago:
… Did this just imply that the blocking measures are effective on children who comply with blocking measures? No shit Sherlock, the systems already in place of politely asking you to give your age are effective on people who accurately give their age. Not that that is the main issue, but still.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 won't be "making jokes every minute", because it's set in a totalitarian world 1 week ago:
I think it’s a bit too late to move away from stupid. Sure it didn’t start there but it’s kinda there now.
- Comment on Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests 1 week ago:
My first response was ‘that’s bad’ but it makes sense with the oldmedia being as captured as it is.
- Comment on Nexus Mods is under new ownership 2 weeks ago:
It’s wild that the cishet conservatives think they can just claim to be queer and that we’ll have to believe them.
- Comment on Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report 2 weeks ago:
Even if your brain tricks you into caring with a chemical cocktail to rival any drug being fear mongered about, if you aren’t already high the entire prospect of parenthood seems awful. From destroying your body to forcing you to entirely reorientate your life around a burden that can’t even sleep without dying. Especially in an era kids can’t even walk down the street alone without some Karen calling the cops, you can’t even catch a break after they are old enough to exist independently.
- Comment on Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report 2 weeks ago:
Better yet, offer no strings attached income. For everyone. We have a lot of jobs that don’t really need to exist and it’s entirely senseless to force people to do bullshit work. We gotta escape this nonsense cultural dead end that says work is some noble purpose.
Now that is an objectively true position that will never get traction in our hellworld.
- Comment on Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report 2 weeks ago:
A plateauing population is a good thing! Growth is not a good thing! I don’t get how people don’t understand this. If something is going up forever it will eventually collapse spectacularly, if it’s stable instead it’ll stay stable.
- Comment on Wizards of the Coast will make "CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3", and their D&D action game wants to be the stuff of gelatinous cube dreams 3 weeks ago:
Uh huh. Sure.
- Comment on UK police roll out armoured cars 'tried and tested on Palestinians' 3 weeks ago:
It’s real disheartening to see other places following America’s lead.
- Comment on Dandelion Void from Project Zomboid modders will offer up plant-based horrors 3 weeks ago:
Ooh, i wonder if there will be a giant baby to fight! Either way I’m in
- Comment on Greenpeace steals Macron wax figure for anti-Moscow protest 4 weeks ago:
Okay, hold on, there is no way in hell that figure is work 40k euros.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate IP overlords Wizards of the Coast reveal a new Dungeons & Dragons single-player action adventure 4 weeks ago:
Who really cares, tho? BG3 was good in spite of dnd, not because of it, and frankly i don’t think most developers can make anything good out of that trainwreck of a game.
- Comment on Persona 4 Remake Is Apparently Happening, As Voice Actor Confirms He's Not Coming Back For It 4 weeks ago:
Huh, that makes me wonder if p5 has any actual translation errors. Most of the stuff i saw when it released was bitter localizer complaining about good choices, so i just assumed there was nothing real to complain about.
- Comment on Now I think SOA was not even that bad. 4 weeks ago:
SAO was bad, but it’s copycats are terrible.
- Comment on EA shut down studio they opened less than two years ago, cancel Black Panther game 4 weeks ago:
Very strong success strategy right there
- Comment on Woodside boss says young people ‘ideological’ on fossil fuels while ‘happily ordering from Temu’ 5 weeks ago:
… Wouldn’t online shopping be vastly better for the environment? Getting cheap Chinese junk into a market probably has the same climate impact no matter how it was bought, but a single delivery driver going to a few dozen houses is better than a few dozen cars on the road. Although i guess that’s from my experience in a demon country that makes it impossible to go places on foot.
- Comment on Pakistan sends ‘important signal’ of hope in a gloomy world of pushbacks on women’s rights 5 weeks ago:
Is this really where we’re at right now? god damn
- Comment on Palestine to raise flag at World Health Organization for first time after vote 5 weeks ago:
Being better than modern nazis isn’t a high bar to clear
- Comment on Hey Randy, I'm not sure if saying that a "real fan" will figure out how to pay $80 for Borderlands 4 is a good look 1 month ago:
Lol borderlands absolutely doesn’t have the clout for that. Even a real price tag like $60 is a bit much for BL.
