Hey that looks good actually. Wishlisted it for when I have more time.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 week ago:
No, really it was a large slug. And TBF Mortimer is a great name for a slug.

Yeah, the steam deck does this, it’s a great feature.
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, pencil and paper is back!

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.

I didn’t know ‘abomination evolver’ was a game category but it sounds great!
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2025 Showreel 5 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.

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 5 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 5 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
So everyone who has enough money to rent, but not enough to own, should be homeless?
Who said that? Other than you?

It’s gotta be said, Zaphod kind of had a point there.
