- Comment on 'Every country can be at least 80% renewable' - Ramón Galain, the man who decarbonized Uruguay. 16 hours ago:
Unfortunately that’s not how the other 20% works. Cleaning up the grid and eliminating wasteful energy are both important things to do but don’t always overlap in terms of outcomes.
When dealing with grids with lots of renewable energy, that first 80% is the easiest because you aren’t nearly as concerned with seasonal variations in availability.
Eliminating waste doesnt change the fact that you might see a week or more of clouds and low winds in the winter making it hard (not impossible, but exponentially more expensive) to close the gap.
And eliminating wasteful energy use in times of relative excess availability doesnt change the fact that you may still need to power your fridge or a heater in the winter.
- Comment on Sony are rebooting their live service Horizon game as a more traditional co-op affair, claim sources, with a proper Horizon Forbidden West sequel still years away 1 week ago:
I give it 2 months post-release before they introduce loot boxes, P2W mechanics, or Sims-style never-ending DLC.

Just a bunch of executives trying to extract the last drop of cash out of a dying brand
- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 1 month ago:
You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does.
Which is it? AI kills games or makes them beat the competition? What an insane level of doublespeak.
- Comment on EA are making another round of layoffs as they seek "to better meet fans’ changing needs", according to reports 2 months ago:
How about instead of layoffs we just train the teams in charge of Origin Launcher, denuvo integration, and microtransactions to do something useful for a change?

Respectfully, this software could solve all my problems in life, and I would still struggle to ask my friends to “federate with my continuwuity server so we can chat”
