- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 1 week ago:
Then it seems that Nintendo is also in the extreme minority by claiming this guy’s efforts have done them any harm. How they won this is beyond me.
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 1 week ago:
Nintendo’s asinine anti-consumer anti-piracy measures are probably causing more harm to the company than this guy ever did.
I might have actually bought a Switch 2 if Nintendo hadn’t pissed me off with their pricing and game cart shenanigans.

The question is still valid, even if the meaning changes.

They never specified who’s security…
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 1 week ago:
But it’s not hard to find examples of similar games that don’t reach server-crashing levels of popularity. Axiom Verge, for one. Beautiful art, runs on anything, affordable, no modern fuckery. It’s also a metroidvania. Not to imply it’s a better game, but I personally enjoyed it way more than Hollow Knight.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 3 weeks ago:
I sometimes approach this like I do with students. Using your example, I’d ask it to restate the source, then ask it to read the title of that source directly. If it’s correct, I might ask it to briefly summarize what the source article covers. Then I would ask it to restate what it told me about the source earlier, and to explain where the inconsistency lies. Usually by this time, the AI is accurately pointing out flaws in its prior logic. At that point I ask again if it is 100% sure it didn’t make a mistake, and it might actually concede to having been wrong. Then I tell it to remember how and why it was wrong to avoid similar errors in the future. I don’t know if it actually works, but it makes me feel better about it.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s gotten better at being convincing.

And you can tell clients that it’s just made up and not actual confidence, but they will insist that they need it anyways…
That doesn’t justify flat out making shit up to everyone else, though. If a client is told information is made up but they use it anyway, that’s on the client. Although I’d argue that an LLM shouldn’t be in the business of making shit up unless specifically instructed to do so by the client.

It annoys me that Chat GPT flat out lies to you when it doesn’t know the answer, and doesn’t have any system in place to admit it isn’t sure about something. It just makes it up and tells you like it’s fact.

- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 2 months ago:
Clearly the Japanese shouldn’t be making all our Japanese games! We need American businesses making Japanese games!
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 months ago:
No one’s silencing him, though right? They’re just reacting to what he said, which is consequence. Is this somehow challenging gods right to make his voice heard?
- Comment on Google is launching Offerwall, A new tool for publishers /websites to paywall their content. 2 months ago:
The cost of consuming media doesn’t match its worth.
I never used ad blockers until they became invasive and disruptive.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 2 months ago:
I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 2 months ago:
I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.
There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.
- Comment on MindsEye - Official Launch Trailer | 2025 3 months ago:
NGL, this trailer made me more interested in the game than the original unveiling trailer. It’s still not really on my list of games to play, but I’ll pay attention if I see it brought up in the news now.
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 3 months ago:
It’s the Wild West days of AI, just like the internet in the 90s. Do what you can with it now, because it’ll eventually turn into a marketing platform. You’ll get a handy free AI model that occasionally tries to convince you to buy stuff. The paid premium models will start doing it too.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 3 months ago:
I wouldn’t hold it against them. You and I are in a place where we know the value in looking this stuff up, and we know the industry. There are a lot more people out there who don’t, and others who still haven’t made the mistake they need to in order to learn it.
- Comment on Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans 3 months ago:
Nobody says it, but Trump literally stole the election. He did it by having his goons involved with every step of the process, scrutinizing workers until they quit, challenging confidence in the mail-in voting system, removing mail-in ballot boxes, reducing the number of voting stations, and of course the gerrymandering already in place. There’s probably more. It was a landslide victory for people who didn’t vote, and I think that had as much, if not more, to do with access than disinterest. Trump won by a narrow margin among those leftover. He would not have won otherwise.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 3 months ago:
Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 3 months ago:
- It’s $80
- It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
- It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
- It’s $80

Hadn’t thought of it like that. I wish I could at least donate my digital library, though.

Just think. At least you can sell off those nick-nacks. What value is there in digital goods you don’t want?
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 months ago:
I wouldn’t go so far as to say my opinion is better than anyone else’s, it just an experience that suits the context of the life I’m living now. There are definitely schools out there where the learning culture probably couldn’t handle it.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 months ago:
Again, if they’re doing individual work with headphones in, and they’re clearly being productive, I don’t see a problem with it. If they’re doing it while in trying to teach, that would be a problem.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 months ago:
I actually sometimes as my students to use their phones to produce presentations and such (AI permitted). I just think the rule needs to be no phones in sight otherwise, and the phone stays if you go to the bathroom.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 months ago:
Yep. I totally agree. Hopefully I’ll find a school that does pay me for planning time eventually,
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 months ago:
Thanks. It’s motivating to hear that.

I think she learned the lesson on her own on that one. No need to rub salt on the wound.
Furthermore, at their level, they already assume that they’re hopeless. I don’t want to reinforce that idea and discourage them from reproaching the subject later on. I’m there to expose them to a subject I love, not be their life coach.
