- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
But piracy is a MUCH smaller issue than theft. Piracy doesn’t deprive the original owner of any material thing. Piracy might decrease sales and profits (research actually says the opposite 🤷♂️).
And we have no idea the actual material impact AI will have on the arts. From the reaction we’re seeing it might even make people turn more and more to physical hand crafted art.
We’re already seeing that social media is favoring videos of artists’ processes much more than the final results.
So yeah, no, I don’t see this situation as so much more terrible than theft. I really don’t understand how it could be.
To me it seems the main issue is not even AI, it’s capitalism. If artists didn’t need to sell their art to survive, we wouldn’t even have this discussion.

Still not theft? Things can be bad without being theft.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
No AI is the product of any theft. If we’re talking about piracy, piracy is NOT theft. I thought we all agreed on this already.

Idk man, if we had the drugs of the Victorian era but the worker rights of today, I think everybody would be happier 🤷♂️

For people confused about the price, just look up any clothes by Issey Miyake. That’s the costly part, Issey Miyake.
- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 2 months ago:
Seems like the only way companies can turn “AI” profitable is to do massive lay-offs to cut costs. Not because AI can actually take on those jobs that were cut, but because it’s a “good” excuse.
Awesome.
We like in the dumbest cyberpunk version of the future. Predatory capitalism but all the tech is vaporwave and it’s all just dumb dumb finance bros running the show.

🤷♂️ gayest is gayest idk man
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 3 months ago:
Sigh… yes. We’ve already been over this guys.
Frankie Grande is the gayest person. Freddie Mercury is the most bi person. Sabrina Carpenter is the most straight person.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 5 months ago:
While very famous, those cases represent a minuscule amount of total cases. You can say “it happens, see these dozens and dozens of examples”. But that won’t matter. We have statistics, data. And data says a negligible amount of SA accusations and testimonies given are false. Around 5%, or less.
Are you this skeptical of EVERYTHING, or just when women are involved?

You do know what a testimony is right? 😂
Would you be willing to say that in court, under threat of perjury?
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 5 months ago:
Why would you believe your media regarding a country they admit is “closed off”?
Do you seriously believe they execute ppl for having the same haircut as Kim? And then execute ppl for having a different haircut from him?
They execute generals all the time, then the generals appear alive a few months later. That’s that mystical Juche necromancy for ya.

Israel =/= the “Jews”.
Israel’s founders were actually very prejudiced against Jews that survived the holocaust. And much more against the ones that didn’t actually…
- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 6 months ago:
Performance-wise apple’s chips are way ahead of amd and any other arm based chip as well. Not sure what you’re talking about.
And compatibility ofc, that’s what I meant good software. Like optimizing steamOS to run on the m chips.
But that would never happen of course.
- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 6 months ago:
Apple does have the technology though… imagine a steam deck with the m series chip? An m4 pro could run basically all modern games on a small screen at 60+ fps with the right software…
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 6 months ago:
I feel like Outer Worlds at least tried to have a message. But they got scared and pulled away and gave up before the end. It starts way stronger than Fallout 3 imo. At least when it comes to writing and story. It’s of course not a SERIOUS game, but it tries to say something even if it does give up. In my experience Bethesda games are allergic to having a message or point.

That’s literally one of the first missions 😭
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 6 months ago:
I personally loved it. I finished it quicker than most games I’ve played the last few years. I was actually surprised. It’s not a long game by any means, but still.
I didn’t love that it started a bit more radical and became more lib over time, but I still enjoyed the writing and gameplay quite a bit. It’s silly fun, and it’s not pretending not to be. It does have a message, but it’s not overtly drab or serious.

- Comment on Pointless existence 11 months ago:
Depends on the school of Buddhism sure. That’s true. Some don’t have anything resembling what we call God or even gods tho.
- Comment on Pointless existence 11 months ago:
I know, but still, the oldest schools of Buddhism don’t have anything that would equate to what we in the west consider a god, or gods.
I know that in east asia, south-east Asia etc., there are schools of Buddhism that do have gods.
But Buddhism being in many ways a rejection of brahamical religion in north india/nepal, also rejected the idea of gods when it first started to develop. I think that’s pretty uncontroversial no?
- Comment on Pointless existence 11 months ago:
Not non-religious, but Buddhists don’t believe in god 🤷♂️ it’s something
