I wonder if this will boost sales of Stories Untold, the game
- Comment on Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI 1 week ago:
Placeholder assets that appear final will slip through and make it to release, it keeps happening. Can see the slideshow uses but some of it feels like it could be dangerous for fan goodwill.
Also, lol:
Schreier also paraphrases Vincke as saying that there have been no “big gains in efficiency” as a result of the AI push.

- Comment on PlayerUnknown wants to listen to your Prologue: Go Wayback feedback, just not all of it 3 weeks ago:
Anyway, forget about all that hogwash I just said, Brendan, if you’re reading this change the game’s name it really is an odd one.
At least the community can agree on one thing 😂
- Comment on Reddit’s CEO says r/popular ‘sucks,’ and it’s going away 3 weeks ago:
Namely, we’re limiting the number of high-traffic communities any single person can moderate.
Good change, long needed
we updated how we display community size. We switched from Subscribers—which was really just a measure of age—to Weekly Visitors to reflect actual activity.
Also a good change for the larger subs, but small communities could suffer
- Comment on Bungie admit to Destiny 2 having an audience problem, as they try to figure out how to not make a "dead live game" 4 weeks ago:
Part of the issue, Green thinks, is that Destiny 2’s expansion The Final Shape, which essentially wrapped up the main story Bungie had been working on nigh on a decade. They found that those that played it felt satisfied, but “the big [downwards] spike in population [came after]. That happened because we ended the saga. So you get what you pay for, right?”
I played a lot when 2 released on Steam and even completed the first few raids. Years later, my partner and I were casual players for a few months up to this expansion’s release. It came out, the menus shifted around, then it was… just over.
We played the free stuff but didn’t buy the dlc since we mostly did PvP. Apparently a raid happened and some epic story shit went on, but we never saw any of it and dropped the game soon after. It was a very whelming completion of a 10 year arc.

- Comment on Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2 1 month ago:
It does seem likely, especially with FEX
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows' backlash reportedly corporately canonised by Ubisoft as a victory for being "more of a video game than a message" 1 month ago:
They’re pointing out the objective fact that a large portion of the “influencers” that peddle this rage bait are just in it because right wing chuds still need something to be angry about after the mainstream realized that gamergate was actually just a targeted harassment campaign.
No, it doesn’t mean that all of their criticisms are invalid, but their function as a pipeline into the radical right shouldn’t be ignored.
- Comment on OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week 1 month ago:
It’s extrapolated from their own user count:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said earlier this month that ChatGPT now has 800 million weekly active users. The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis. About 2.4 million more are possibly expressing suicidal ideations or prioritizing talking to ChatGPT over their loved ones, school, or work.

- Comment on Meta won’t allow users to opt out of targeted ads based on AI chats 2 months ago:
The next step is the AI generated avatar interacting with the product in the ad 🤢 so you and your clanker can chat about how much you each love your newly purchased [insert product here]

- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 2 months ago:
Its origin is actually related to the “30 year old boomer” meme. Etymology is fun!
