- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 1 hour ago:
I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.
By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.
It’s not hard.

I don’t believe Alberto or Bungie.
He’s a thief.

I wonder if it’s even worth it now.
Might be better to try and wing it on your own if you want reliability.
Gov and corpos will keep using it since it absolves them of responsibility.

The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 days ago:
No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.
Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

The Verge
oh boy, here we go.
I’ve got my swiss army screwdriver ready.
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 1 week ago:
PCGamer’s advertisers care.
How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.
PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 1 week ago:
It’s 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 for the GPU.
24GB total, non-unified.

- Comment on PlayStation State of Play Japan airs this Tuesday, November 11 1 week ago:
I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.
Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
HR is great.
MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.
The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.
But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.
It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.

turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.
What does this mean?
I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.
- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 1 week ago:
No, Chamberlain was spineless, against the Royal Family.
Czechia gave him a plan to crush the Nazis at the first stop, they baulked, since the prince loved Nazis.
- Comment on Game of my childhood, Windows xp, best windows 1 week ago:
990Pro here (once had 770 80ohm, got nicked at work!!) - you can get some really nice memory foam+leather pads on ebay for them, makes a world of difference since they conform nicer and you get a slightly better seal for bass.
- Comment on GTA 6 dev Rockstar says recent firings were due to leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" 1 week ago:
I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.
I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)

- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
To add to this-
One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.
For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.
Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.
Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)
*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money" 3 weeks ago:
They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.
