They ultimately lost out to silicon
Fuckin computers taking birds’ jobs.
- Comment on Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s 2 days ago:
I dunno how you’d use check digits with a bird, but this seems the obvious way to deal with corruption. Or maybe give the bird more treats.

I can do that with a fart.

- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 1 week ago:
I don’t understand why they would want to build in the US? There’s plenty of places with cheaper labour.

Yep that’s it. Really enjoyed it, just starting Echopraxia.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 1 week ago:
I just finished a book called Blindsight, and as near as I can tell it hypothesises that consciousness isn’t necessarily part of intelligence, and that something can learn, solve problems, and even be superior to human intellect without being conscious.
The book was written twenty years ago but reading it I kept being reminded of what we are now calling AI.
Great book btw, highly recommended.
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 1 week ago:
I’m my day that wasn’t far from the truth. We don’t need quality games machines but they’re a very nice luxury.
- Comment on A Fistful Of Yankees, an RTS x tactics hybrid with base building, with a spaghetti western setting, released on steam. 2 weeks ago:
IMO the score for the good the bad and the ugly is one of the all time classics and Ecstasy of Gold is incredible.
- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I feel the same way. I grew up with 8 bit graphics and every time I pick up my steam deck I’m amazed at how things look today, how far we’ve come. I have no desire to go back to the way things were. I know this means I may miss out on some cool experiences, but there’s so much other stuff to play and so little time. It’s great that people enjoy the retro look but it’s not for me.

If you don’t care, don’t comment.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 weeks ago:
I don’t need chatGPT etc for work, but I’ve used it a few times. It is indeed a very useful product. But most of the time I can get by without it and I kinda try to avoid using it for environmental reasons. We’re boiling the oceans fast enough as it is.
- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 3 weeks ago:
Yeah Judas looks interesting.
- Comment on Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way. 3 weeks ago:
Seems like someone is worried about tariffs on iPhones. Sadly, this will probably work too.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 weeks ago:
It may be natural to eat animals, but in modern society it is definitely not necessary. I eat some meat, but I respect those who don’t.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 weeks ago:
Imo vegan shouldn’t be seen as derogatory. I’m not one, but got a lot of respect for most of em.

- Comment on Day 381 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Hey mate I’m enjoying your posts and I’m happy to see you’re playing prey - because I am too. I’m old, only started playing games again after a twenty year gap when I got a steam deck last year, and I’m pretty crap at them all!
So help me out here - how the fuck do I deal with phantoms?

I’ve got a mate who’s a delivery driver, his employer has a cab cam watching him all the time. We are employing these MPs, same principle.

How many turds can you buy for a billion dollars. . ?
- Comment on I'm impressed by Rambo III for DOS 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure that was the year I was mostly playing Populous, on the Amiga IIRC, or maybe spectrum. I think my little brother may have had a copy of this though. There were some good games back then, the late 80s were when they really started to branch out into genres that we still see today.
- Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing. 1 month ago:
I kinda feel like I should finish the games that I start, but I often don’t. I don’t get a lot of screen time so if a game becomes hard work or I lose interest - I move on to something else. Feel a bit bad about leaving it unfinished tho.

The RoboCop game is actually supposed to be quite good. I recently picked it up on sale, haven’t played it yet.

Aren’t there already laws against making child porn?
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 months ago:
WTF did I just read? Fuckin weirdos. That is uncomfortable on so many levels. Poor kid. I remain traumatised from the time I had to remove all the malware from my dad’s computer. That was twenty years ago, he’s dead now, but I still carry the abominable image of him in his wheelchair, pulling his decrepit knob to Thai ladyboys, with the dogs lined up on the sofa watching. Ignorance is bliss. Ho hum, conservatives eh?
