- Comment on "AI is bad, game will be deleted" concludes developer behind sloppy Steam card battler, before setting the self-destruct timer 4 days ago:
“Towards the end of the post, the dev credits “the girl I’ve been dating for a month” as having helped them come to this conclusion.”
Perhaps all the AI boosters just need to get laid…

God I forgot about the Kirby Air Ride boxart. I love the idea that the US would respond better to ANGY KIRBY.

You’re probably right. I noticed the feature, but haven’t personally tried it.

FYI if you’re ham licensed, you can boost the output power of your mesh radio. There’s a setting in most firmwares.

Think of how much people whine about printer ink without A) looking for alternatives and B) questioning why their printer was fucking free (with rebate).

Nor are a man and a woman.
- Comment on 'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic? 1 week ago:
My take has more to do with how accessible the methods of violence are. Most kids playing GTA aren’t (dog willing) going to have access to an arsenal of fully automatic weapons or sporty cars. At that point, they might as well be using wizard magic. I think even a young kid can recognize that it’s fantasy.
But I remember in GTA3 (or maybe Vice City?), you could use a screwdriver as a stabbing weapon. That’s kinda fucked.
I personally remember trying a move from Mortal Kombat on one of my friends when we were rough housing when I was like 7. While he was on his back, I jumped (off his bed I think?) and landed with my full body weight on my knee on his sternum. Probably could have cracked a rib. Certainly knocked the wind out of him. Learned that day that even the non-stabby bits of MK should stay in the pretend realm.
To some degree, I know kids will try to emulate what they see. If what they see is fantasy, nobody gets hurt.

I remember one review commenting on how the controls were mapped to only need one hand.

- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 1 week ago:
The ad was people doing generic AI stuff. I think it was even showing Copilot.
Either way, the marketing for AI is far to nebulous for it to matter. Just looking for the ad, I found plenty (like this one) that explicitly mention “on-device AI,” but show people just searching for shit or doing nebulous office work. This ad even shows generating images in MS Paint which offloads the AI shit to the cloud.

I’m talking about an ad I saw on broadcast television during a football game. I don’t think the broad market of people are downloading models from huggingface or whatever.

What kind of consumer-facing software runs on that NPU?
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 1 week ago:
WTF even is an “AI PC”? I saw an ad for some AI laptop. To my knowledge, nobody is running LLMs on their personal hardware, so do these computers have like…a web browser?

Back in college, we had “Random Standard Time” where midnight was midnight, but it won’t “tomorrow” until 5am.

Assuming that’s not a typo, the phrase is “resting on its laurels”.

IDK what OP is even going on about. This just seemed relevant.

- Comment on Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, I buy stuff off eBay a lot, and it’s often from small mom-and-pop shops. I needed new ribbon for my typewriter recently and ended up getting it from a store that just sells ink ribbons. They have an off-eBay presence too.

Maggots can be used to clean wounds as they can discern between living and dead tissue. Pretty fucking metal.
