You’re saying I should take the jumper cables off the - uh, the guests in my basement? TBF the screams are aggravating, and my electricity bills don’t seem any lower.

Didn’t he buy a massive yacht on the same day steam announced these products? It can’t be easy to sneak a superyacht under the publicity radar, but he seems to have pretty much managed it.

Yeah I have a gaming laptop and I haven’t used it since I got a steam deck.

I didn’t know ‘abomination evolver’ was a game category but it sounds great!
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2025 Showreel 2 weeks ago:
That looks pretty versatile. I guess people are still wary of unity after they shit the bed a couple of years back? This seems like a plausible alternative.
- Comment on Breakthrough gel can regenerate tooth enamel within weeks 2 weeks ago:
Given the state of my teeth, I’m not far from that anyway.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 2 weeks ago:
Market gardening isn’t so bad, people gotta eat. But yeah, if you’re cutting lawns you’re going to suffer when the economy shits the bed.

GTA Bangkok you’d be stuck in traffic the whole time. The tuk tuks would be cool though.
- Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had several times a cat has run out in the road in front of my car, and would have gone under if I hadn’t stopped quickly. Happily I’ve not hit one, few close calls though.

Are there enough users here to make that worthwhile?
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, we aren’t all crouching naked in a muddy puddle, weeping and eating worms while the rich fly high above us in luxurious jets. Not yet, anyway.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, some of the things AI can do really is very impressive. Whether that justifies the billions upon billions that are being spent is another matter - and probably explains why it’s being shoved in our faces. It needs to become essential so it can be made expensive, that’s the only way it’ll make the money back.
It does piss me off too - I recently bought a new phone and it’s infested with AI stuff I don’t need or want.

Ah gotcha thanks.
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 4 weeks ago:
Amazon eliminated side loading? I’ve been using calibre to convert books to azw and transfer to my Kindle. Always worked fine for me. Unless they pushed out an update to break this?
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 weeks ago:
I live in England, but maybe twenty years ago I’d go to my regular pub most days, have a couple of pints and maybe some food, socialise with people I’d got to know there.
Obviously that doesn’t happen anymore, it’s way too expensive now. Going to the pub or out for a meal is a rare treat these days.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 5 weeks ago:
I had a song intermittently stuck in my head for over a decade, couldn’t remember the artist, song name, or any of the lyrics. I only had the genre, language it was in, and a vague, memory-degraded description of a music video. Over the years I’d tried to find it on search engines a bunch of times to no avail, using every prompt I could think of. ChatGPT got it in one. So yeah, it’s very useful for stuff like that. Was a great feeling to scratch that itch after so long. But I wouldn’t trust an LLM with anything important.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 5 weeks ago:
I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

TBF it requires minimum effort from the ai. Efficient.

Nah, nothing’s enough.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 1 month ago:
Yeah, ppl say ‘if it’s free, you’re the product.’ and that sentiment feels like it applies here.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 1 month ago:
Not just who you are as a consumer, who you are as a person.
- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 1 month ago:
So everyone who has enough money to rent, but not enough to own, should be homeless?
Who said that? Other than you?

Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group.
Yeah, it’s fucked.

They want to stop us controlling anything.

It’s gotta be said, Zaphod kind of had a point there.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 month ago:
Yeah. I might break my rule for phantom liberty, it’s reduced to £17 at the mo. I’m enjoying cyberpunk so much I might make an exception here! But I’ve still got plenty in my backlog.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m in a similar situation. Don’t get a lot of game time and I’ve got a pretty large backlog of stuff I want to play. If I like the look of something I wishlist it and buy it on sale for less than £10.
I think the gamepass model is going to be struggling with economic factors - many of us are working more and have less playtime, and money is tighter.

Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.
- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 1 month ago:
I don’t mind paying for good games especially from indie studios. I wanna support that creativity. Although TBF I do usually wishlist them and buy them on sale. Just got some good stuff in the steam autumn sale for less than £10
