- Comment on Is capitalism or consumerism at fault? 18 hours ago:
Is it really that simple? That we should just stop consuming? I honestly don’t know much about sociology, but it’s really not that simple.
- Comment on Is capitalism or consumerism at fault? 23 hours ago:
Can one exist without the other? Can capitalism thrive without the relentless senseless consumption? Honestly, I don’t know.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 days ago:
This exactly what happens when you rely on rhetoric, instead of you know, making games that people like.
- Comment on If you truly love your girlfriend, then you need to buy her an expensive engagement ring. If you don’t have the money, then you don’t deserve to be in a relationship. 3 days ago:
I feel like that is the point of relationship. Intimacy: physical and more importantly, emotional.

Dude, why are you so annoying? Just shitting your shitty opinions across Lemmy. Why?
- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 1 week ago:
Assassin’s Creed is about equivalent to Colgate, I guess.
- Comment on EA insists it will "maintain creative control" and "creative freedom" if sale to consortium goes ahead 1 week ago:
That’s not exactly a good thing, considering that EA has been creatively bankrupt for more than a decade now.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 week ago:
I strongly agree. Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City feels amazing to explore.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 week ago:
As deep as Elden Ring is, I hate how hopeless The Lands Between feels.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 weeks ago:
Exactly.
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 5 weeks ago:
More expensive hardware for shittier graphics. Got it.
- Comment on Elon Musk reveals 2026 launch for his AI game alongside Grok-made garbage 5 weeks ago:
Musk is known for promising the world and delivering the turd. So, I pass.
- Comment on Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about. 5 weeks ago:
I am a 35-year old virgin. And I am probably going to die lonely and virgin. I did ask to be brought up as a mentally fucked up dude, who is so scared of rejection that it is much better to not try at all.
Your ‘shower thought’ lacks basic empathy and understanding about people. But, then again, most people do.
- Comment on Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations) 1 month ago:
Relaxed mod. Sorry.
- Comment on In space, nobody can hear your construction noise. 1 month ago:
Or your farts.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 1 month ago:
It is precisely why I had to add the description because when I checked out the game upon reading this original post, I loved the idea of the game.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 1 month ago:
The game is about stealing African artifacts from the Western museums, set in the future. Of course, racists hate it and are going to call it ‘woke’. I am personally very intrigued by the concept.
- Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions 1 month ago:
“Pro-life” is just a marketing term.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
Please try optimizing your pc before purchasing BL4. \s
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
I guess I will stick to my “non-premium” games made by devs who actually care about providing experiences worth experiencing, instead of a checklist-driven, committee designed and overpriced games that are most AAA games.
- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 2 months ago:
The aesthetics of your game look great. I think people will appreciate a demo, to give them a feel for the game. You can have demo on your steam page or maybe on itch.io .
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 2 months ago:
Same. Hollow Knight’s combat and platforming simply didn’t click. But, the atmosphere of that game is simply impeccable. That, to me, makes Hollow Knight an amazing video game, just one not for me.

Heat it with your fire bending.
- Comment on Tea is basically just salad water. 2 months ago:
So basically tea is just a “Hot Leaf Juice”.
Iroh: How can a member of my own say something like this?
- Comment on AI was a common theme at Gamescom 2025, and while some indie teams say it's invaluable, it remains an ethical nightmare 2 months ago:
I am not implying that transformers-based models have to be huge to be useful. I am only talking about LLMs. I am questioning the purported goal of LLMs, i.e., to replace all humans in as many creative fields as possible, in the context of it’s cost, both environmental and social.

Not horse.

Where is the idea that LLMs will ever to curing diseases coming from? What is the possible mechanism? LLMs generate text from probability distributions. There is no reason to trust their output because they don’t have built-in concept of true or false. When one cannot judge the quality of the output, how can one reliably use it as a tool for any purpose, let alone scientific research?

All I ask is in what way are LLMs progress. Ability to generate a lot of slop is pretty much only thing LLMs are good for. Even that is not really cheap, especially factoring the environmental costs.

Eurogamer is shit. You can serve ads without tracking. But, they don’t care.
- Comment on An alien invasion 2 months ago:
Steven Erikson wrote a novel called Rejoice: A Knife in the Dark, which follows a similar premise, where politicians and billionaires are rendered completely impotent by aliens or more precisely alien AI. It is a fascinating read, imo.
