- Comment on The Pentagon wants AI to enhance the capabilities of US nuclear weapons systems 2 weeks ago:
“AI” cannot make rational choices.
It is a giant word association machine.
For the love of god this should never be involved in military applications.

I stl don’t understand how this is better/different than EmuDeck, a project I heard much more about.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 6 months ago:
If you’re banned on steam for shitting up the game, they don’t want you making a new account to shit it up on PSN. And vice versa. Currently you can get banned in game on steam and just pack up and move to PSN.
It means to be an incessant troll you would have to limit your account spam to the PSN side, which requires 2 factor, or make more steam accounts as well.
So halving the troll problem for Arrowhead by not having them chase two separate account systems.
It is likely also so that matchmaking and player counts on the PSN side can be accurate. If there are 300k people playing, but the PSN only reports half of that, it makes the game population seem much smaller for new users.
Honestly i treat it like Origin or EPIC. I don’t love having to have it, but the benefits out weight the demerits, and I have the account anyways.
- Comment on Microsoft Wants Game Pass On PlayStation, Nintendo, And "Every Screen" Possible 11 months ago:
“Microsoft wants to charge rent on all games on all platforms.”
Gamepass is like early Netflix. It’s a good value now. But once it reaches a large enough subscriber base, it fundamentally takes over publishing. Everyone copies the model because consumers are trained not to buy, and you wind up literally unable to buy things outright anymore.
Don’t think it happens? Try watching the Willow TV series on Disney Plus.
I hate paying perpetual rent in items I should own. I recognize gamepass is a good value, but still would rather own a game forever than see Nintendo and Sony take this same approach.

What does “the politically correct line” mean to you though? That’s a very loaded phrase and you seem to be indicating that you want to say stuff that is “controversial” without expressing any of it.
Like, Gender Dysphoria is a nuanced topic and can be felt in cis people, but there is a strong, STRONG anti-Trans effort to point at that and say “ah hah! See!” as if it somehow invalidates trans experiences.
That’s why moderation is so harsh, because often the nuance becomes a tiny crack that actual bigots will pounce on, and argue in bad faith. I mean this sincerely, I’m an audience of one but if you are sincerely just having questions I’d be happy to speak via DM.
But if the “politically incorrect” feeling is “I don’t think my kid is really dysphoric just confused”, that is a large part why spaces stop such discussion. Note i am not saying this is you, but as an example. This example focuses on invalidating how the child feels and dismissing it as something else. Which can be very dangerous.
Anyways, my offer to talk stands.
- Comment on PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough? 11 months ago:
Honestly when it drops to $150 or so, I’m in. Mostly for these same reasons. I use the PS5 on the good TV, but if I wanna be in the room with my partner while they watch a trash reality show, and keep working on my game, this is perfect. At $200, I’ll stick with remote play on Android and a Bluetooth controller, but the Portal seems better for this use case. So when the price is low enough… Sure.
- Comment on [Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam 1 year ago:
Seasons and battle passes and an upfront cost.
You get to pay in so many different ways!
