  the cloud services are probably fine, their willingness to actually use the resources for a game may not be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I think it’s fair to argue there are bigger problems that steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  who said steam forums are “the” problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  exactly, it’s well known the original scope was actually TOO big and they had to scale down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  easter eggs don’t make a game deep or replayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve ever played a game more than 200 or 300 hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was with you up until the shift away from multiplayer part. I do not see that happening at all, and I don’t even like multiplayer games myself. There’s no denying that more multiplayer has been the trend for the last 30 years, spanning multiple (people) generations, and I don’t see AI changing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I would like to leverage AI for stuff like RPG NPCs. instead of hearing the same filler lines for 200 hours of gameplay you could have a vibrant array of endless dialog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas release 20 years ago today.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the golden age of gaming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We NEED to hear others, if not just for the fact that others may NEED to hear our voices too.

  We have tried engaging in good faith, but they don’t WANT to hear us. For example, the mods of !worldnews@lemmy.ml for people for simply disagreeing with them. Happened to me and I’ve seen multiple others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the fair thing to do, is to respond in the same scale (i. e. blocking specific users) instead of going all ballistic with instance blocks.

  it’s not just random users, the mods of larger communities like world news will delete your comments and ban you simply for disagreeing with their world view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yep I got banned from there for simply stating that ukraine has a right to defend themselves after Modi called for “peace”. Apparently absolute pacifism is only required from one side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that is a different feature than what the article is talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  or just automatically load my last save please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this is also likely explicitly outside their jurisdiction since it involves a federal election

  states run federal elections though, plus there are probably local issues on the ballot too. why are police even there if it’s outside their jurisdiction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah and I’ve done a lot of chatting about amazon products online at reddit, forums, etc over the last 15 years or whatever and never once have heard of people getting two different prices on the same amazon link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it doesn’t swing both ways. They are claiming the position of being “pro life” which is clearly hypocritical. You are not claiming to be “pro death” or “anti life”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tinkerers Are Taking Old Redbox Kiosks Home and Reverse Engineering Them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I’m sure there is a contract and/or standard legal processes that covers this situation. I’m just saying I wouldn’t rely on a casual interaction with a store manager to cover my ass legally, all for the benefit of putting Doom on a computer kiosk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tinkerers Are Taking Old Redbox Kiosks Home and Reverse Engineering Them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also not sure “just ask the store manager if you can have it” is a good idea. It’s not theirs, and even though Redbox is going through bankruptcy it’s still an asset of the company that can be liquidated to pay debts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  true but also old reddit is awful to navigate on mobile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  then there are companies like yelp who make their mobile site as shitty as possible to force you to the app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Utah’s first floating solar farm is complete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  what a great idea. roll that shit out at every artificial water processing plant and reservoir.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  even without the loading screens it would still be terrible. get a quest, go to your ship, take off, travel to other system, land, exit your ship, walk to destination… it’s just a tedious experience.

  the best part of Bethesda games is just being able to wander around aimlessly in a pretty environment, likely stumbling upon little easter eggs or side quests along the way. none of that exists in Starfield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cyberpunk was buggy, unoptimized, and kind of unfinished, but the fundamental game design was sound.

  Starfield on the other hand is broken at its core. The Bethesda RPG experience just does not translate to the open worlds space map they built the game on. So they can’t take the cyberpunk approach because they’d have to build an entirely different game from scratch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Extreme” Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I’m sure that is their long term goal now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  are you sure about ^that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Extreme” Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  my previous employer was at work scripting their own workarounds for stuff like DRS and distributed switches so they could drop down to the standard licenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollywood should invest more R&D into fake barf technology⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  dunno, i feel like half the humor of barf scenes is how utterly unrealistic they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major outage: Verizon confirms it’s working to restore service after widespread complaints⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah same with me, except it’s just me and my wife. i think i just got service back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major outage: Verizon confirms it’s working to restore service after widespread complaints⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  might just be an inaccurate headline, I don’t think we know the exact order of things or when Verizon identified the issue.
