- Comment on Tekken 8 replaces their entire balance team after disastrous Season 2 update 1 day ago:
I wish game developers would stop with this live service bullshit already.
Make a game. Balance it. It’s good. Release it. Gamers buy it and enjoy it. This is how it used to be.
But I guess the appeal of potentially scoring a massive cashcow unicorn title is too hard to resist.

- Comment on Brooklyn electronics company Adafruit hit with surprise $36K tariff bill: "pay in one week" 4 days ago:
Needless to say, most companies aren’t Apple. They don’t have cash reserves, can’t reroute shipping, can’t lawyer/bribe up, can’t afford to lose money for even a month. We’re going to see the first bankruptcies and/or layoffs soon. Shit.
- Comment on Usernames using randomized nonsense 4 days ago:
That’s probably just mail that lands in your spam folder without being entirely blocked. According to Microsoft and Google approximately 99% of incoming spam (of the ~160 billion spam emails sent per day) never even reaches their users mailboxes. I assume that’s roughly standard across email providers. I am concerned comparably sophisticated filtering may become necessary on the Fediverse eventually.
- Comment on Usernames using randomized nonsense 4 days ago:
I’ve been using Fedi for a long time and from the very beginning I’ve been afraid of spam and bots ruining it, at least temporarily. Spam is still a problem with e-mail, and it’s been around for 40 years and for it’s developed very sophisticated anti-spam mitigations.

- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 week ago:
“The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year.”
A key part of Moore’s law which is often omitted is that Moore was not just talking about transistor density but about cost. When people say we’ve reached the end of Moore’s law this is not because we’re no longer able to increase semiconductor transistor density (just look at TSMC’s roadmap) but that the “complexity for minimum component costs” is no longer increasing. Chips are still getting faster but they’re now also more expensive.
- Comment on A Brutal message to Americans who are whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it's ''unfair'' 1 week ago:
I visited Europe recently and used a rideshare service, the guy was driving a new BYD compact SUV. I was surprised at how nice it was. The interior styling was still a little eccentric, which is something I noticed before with Chinese cars, but the build quality appeared to be very good. It was definitely a vehicle I would consider if they were for sale here in the US. American car manufacturers must be relieved to be protected by arbitrary trade barriers.
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 1 week ago:
The same with Lightroom sadly. The open source alternatives are either too buggy or have UX designed by very “opinionated” people, making them painful and frustrating to use. I currently want to get rid of Lightroom but can’t.
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 2 weeks ago:
Perhaps that’s because Steam doesn’t seem to be trying very hard to “lock in” developers to their platform. Devs are free to sell their PC games on Gog or Epic or whatever. Steam is popular because it’s a good platform. This freedom for developers or customers mostly does not exist on mobile or on consoles, except for the EUs efforts here.
- Comment on Frostpunk 1886 | New Game Announcement 2 weeks ago:
Judging from the video description this seems to be a remake of the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine. Not sure why they’re doing it. The original is still just fine.
