  I don't entirely hate AI.

  I like AI for when I want to personally use it for art ideas because I'm not an artist and honestly, paying someone to draw for you can be expensive as it is a luxury. I just don't run anything like a DA account to show it off.

  I don't like AI when it has been used to lazily write scripts for movies/shows, to draft essays and be used as a shortcut for someone's work.

  I like AI when it can be used as a companion tool.

  I don't like AI when it tries being a therapist for serious mental issues.

  I don't like AI when it is used as a poor excuse of troubleshooting.

  I don't like AI for the damage it is causing to the market of PC memory.

  I don't like AI being shoved down my throat and for the companies you least expect it to use it, suddenly start using it.

  So with a score of 2-5, if AI was just erased right now, I wouldn't really miss it. But I don't entirely hate it. It is a completely misused and abused kind of tool that's shoved into everyone's lives and marketed as a catch-all solution to nearly all problems, when there is a mountain of evidence and recorded studies saying otherwise.

  Yeah and that's a jointly created protag too, because Square Enix helped make him.

  People don't even write honest reviews anymore anyways on steam. It's just cheap catering to get awarded points for shitty memes and jokes.

  None of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evo Japan and Las Vegas 2026 lineups announced⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That isn't my point. I don't even like Mortal Kombat.

  EVO events should be reserved for games that are demanding of skill and has mechanical depth. Mortal Kombat is neither, despite the pros of that game trying to say otherwise.

  Fuck you, iFixit.

  Lol and Mortal Kombat is not one of them. How embarrassing for a fighting game series that has long fallen from grace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The real problem is that Call of Duty is completely drained from any replay value. Why is this series still going? Why?

  It isn't even a joke anymore.

  OP, if people have to do the work for you in posting sources, consider this a learning lesson as to what not to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. A lot of it is just happenstances and inconvenient coincidences.

  I do have some themes going in my life though that could make it seem that way.

  • Anytime I get something good or things are looking too good to be true, there's always something horrible or bad waiting around the corner to ruin that momentum.

  • Anytime I am randomly crying or completely angry, it sometimes can mean someone I know is either dead or suffering as proven from the times I got emotional to eventually find an obituary of someone I knew who died.

  • Irony loves to rear its head in my life now and then. In the past whenever I've said I never wanted to work at a fast food company, I ended up working at one.

  • Anytime I am out to get one thing or do one thing such as a single errand, it always turns out to be the most frustrating experience ever. For example, if I needed to go out and grab one product I forgot to get or needed to get, I'll end up having to store-hop several stores before finally getting it and during that whole trip, I'm dealing with dumbass drivers and even dumber pedestrians. As well as dealing with idiotic shoppers too.

  • Anytime I needed something for emergency situations or to double-check something to be sure of it, suddenly the services I use are not available or down for maintenance.

  • Currently, I'm dealing with a series of matters that consist of things requiring me to put more effort into them. Like having to double-click things for buttons that are usually one-click or fighting with things that appear to be broken when they worked flawlessly before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They were looking to have another Postal III on their hands anyways. Looking at the profile of the studio on Steam, they haven't really made any solid games. What made RWS think 'yeah we trust these guys' with that kind of portfolio?

  Not really that impressed with that lineup. Yogscast has some poor curation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How will the Military be after this mess with Trump?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What options do they really have?

  Do you even know what kind of punishments a soldier would endure if they refuse orders? Quite a lot. You sign up with the military, you are signing your life over to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who shops at small businesses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only small businesses I care of is when it comes to lawyers, psychologists, doctors, car repair shops and other professions similar to them.

  Call me a capitalist or whatever, but almost any other small business I go to shop in, their prices are absurd and somehow worse than the big-chain stores is. Their staff could either be some of the nicest people you meet, operated by a family or they can be the opposite where the family don't know what the hell they're doing and they try ripping you off and getting involved in their drama.

  Shovel Knight was responsible for kicking off the second renaissance wave of indie games, as Cave Story was the first wave. It's quite a bit saddening that they've put themselves in this corner.

  I don't care, really.

  It is said by people who truly only peaked in high school and think still saying that is the cool thing to do.

  Like if my mom died and someone said that, I'd probably be like "oh so you're into necrophilia? good to know, champ"

  Sega being Sega...they haven't really learned much, haven't they? Makes me kind of wish sometimes that they're truly knocked out of the video game industry.

  Why are they delisting Kiwami 1 and 2? They're remakes of the Y1 and Y2. I didn't know that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With all of the attempts to dismantle voting booths and artificially mess with the results every freaking election, why even bother voting anymore?

  It's like we tell the naysayers about voting as to why voting at all in America is pointless. But they still cling to some hope that they're heard. Well guess what? When a candidate can still win by Electoral College despite the popular majority, that alone tells you how little your little voices mean. When an election can be won by stupid points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven't felt very patriotic or proud of my country in over 25 years, since I began to slowly understand politics and how things worked within my country. I feel that after everything I've read, everything I've heard about, everything I verified myself by researching and everything everyone has gone through in it with the bads. You can say my control stick has been snapped off and I'm permanently unpatriotic and ashamed to represent my country, knowing the damage that has been done internally as a country and externally everywhere else in the world.

  I know it's not my fault, I just do what I can, I pay my taxes knowing it's being pissed away, I work jobs I didn't like doing to feel like I'm contributing despite it not being ultimately worth it because I am helping sustain the motion of this unworthy country. I have voted Sanders, Sanders, Harris in my voting record. And still, the assholes won in the end. But then I feel like, that shit doesn't matter because our track record as a country has shown that the system is in favor of said assholes if they're cunning enough to take advantage of them and that's what we've witnessed many times.

  All the while knowing that half of the population in this country, is dead set in taking the rest of us down with them in every negative decision made. While still trying to tell us it is our fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He got away with more murders on the American people than the 9/11 hijackers, at least 120 fold. All because he mishandled, deliberately, an active pandemic.

  And he disregarded advice and the playbook by people like Obama but he didn't want that because he believed that Obama was inferior to him.

  Tim's strategy seems to be "Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It'll make US look great!"

  And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.
