How’s the GPU drivers though? Especially to me for Linux. These should be used in PC gaming handhelds but Qualcomm support is mediocre
- Comment on Helldivers 2 was almost a free-to-play game, could've changed Sony's live service trajectory 1 week ago:
That’s pretty much the whole of the article. It was a free to play title until it became a $40 game that would also still operate as a live service game

Going to need a global wave of union organization to at least get royalties on sales determined for contribution levels. That’s unlikely to be incredible money but anything is better than nothing as you age towards their elder years
Besides that, no real solution. It’s happened to every art industry. It turns out there’s probably been an incredible amount of artistic talent every year throughout the millenniums but it’s just the last couple decades where it didn’t require super levels of luck and financial backing to make it

- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 2 weeks ago:
5 years of higher than usual inflation and tariffs. The prices actually aren’t far off inflation adjustment from 2020. Xbox as a console brand is done. Switch 2 for party games. PlayStation is you really need a high end console. Everyone else should be trying to embrace 1920x1080 or 2560x1080 PC gaming. GTX 1060 6gb still solid for most new games at 1080p. Low settings rarely look bad these days when you have to go low
If you really want 4k, embrace medium settings

- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 2 weeks ago:
Shout-out to every dumbass that thought just because that bill to give the president to unilaterally designate companies as foreign companies national security threats and ban them was being passed during a democratic party Presidency, that meant the ACLU and EFF were wrong and this was actually a good thing. The most popular easily abusable legislation of the past ten years.
Don’t support government powers that you wouldn’t want your opposition to possess. They will be in power someday, bet on that no matter what. Especially stupid stupid after 2020 Portland federal law enforcement disappearing people it should have been clear that the powers of the executive should have been limited before it was going to inevitably be in the power of opposition again but nope, Tiktok bad because China makes us feel insecure.
Stupid bill and stupid people that were, I know ACLU and EFF are against it but TikTok needs to be banned, dumbasses - a bill can be written that targets a single company rather than a blanket power to block out any company from that selection of countries. Of course now that it is law, a willing congress - an inevitability - can remove the country specifics or add any and for some reason dumbasses after 2020 were like - it won’t be abused

- Comment on Huawei unveils new trifold smartphone before Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal 4 weeks ago:
It’d be good for comic ebooks, PDFs, documents. Pretty much stuff you’d use with a tablet. I see the appeal of a one device covers it all. Phone, tablet, if it had a solid desktop mode, office productivity. Don’t have faith in these mobile first OSs to do it all well though
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 4 weeks ago:
I’m hoping for an ARM based standalone Linux VR headset. Both VR and Linux ARM gaming would get a major boost from a major company putting out hardware with software support. A PlayStation sized gaming PC eventually someday too. Just an ARM VR headset is a bigger leap for Linux gaming from where ARM/VR Linux is today than an x86 gaming PC
- Comment on Over 50% of the job cuts in video games are in California 4 weeks ago:
It’s specific to that degree, it’s a kind of long article. Here’s one of the quotes from the interview
“Over 70%, and in some years 75%, of the layoffs have been in North America,” Satvat shared. “North America used to have 30%, 35%, 40% of the open roles, and that number is now down to 25%. Overall employment in the industry has actually increased since pre-COVID. But if you’re in North America in a AAA studio, you’re like, ‘what are you talking about? The workforce is cut by 15% to 20%’. Versus if you’re in a studio in Asia you’re like, ‘What are you talking about? We’ve seen an increase in jobs’.”
“And here’s another stat, over 50% of the cuts globally have been in California. California AAA is like the epicenter of the difficulty.”
- Comment on Over 50% of the job cuts in video games are in California 4 weeks ago:
Ya. I think it’s a provocative headline for US and Canadian users but the more full thing is that it’s a AAA problem primarily in the US and US AAA development is in California. AAA employment is bad in the western aligned world but fine in Asia so some recommendations for workers in the industry that want to do AAA is that they may need to be willing to relocate around the world as AAA game studios boom and bust around the world

- Comment on The frightening world without the dollar 5 weeks ago:
Read the article and it doesn’t sound that scary. It’s just more trade using local currencies which may mean less liquidity because of the complexity of trade with a lot more trading pairs than just ones with USD always on one side. For Americans, ya it means less demand for the dollar so the rest of the world isn’t backstopping the US dollars value regardless of US economic state but that is traded for other countries not being dragged down as bad with the US when it does bad economics. Also sanctions lose their bite even further but I doubt many people find that scary. Like why sanction Iran so heavily compared to Saudi Arabia? Why is Cuba so heavily sanctioned to this day? Venezuela? What has Venezuela done that the US threatens them so heavily for nearly 30 year’s now? Regardless of USD dominance, domestically I think Americans and Europeans are starting to question the justification for these sanctions that they used to give the benefit of the doubt as moralistic in reason. Western backed Palestinian genocide may have accelerated foreign policy skepticism though regardless I think internet resources compared to eurocentric takes on colonial/imperial history have led to foreign policy skepticism that would make USD sanction diplomacy lose its support from younger generations across the western aligned world
