- Comment on The Pentagon wants AI to enhance the capabilities of US nuclear weapons systems 2 weeks ago:
Just teach them tic tac toe first.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 2 weeks ago:
Not having the touchpads is a big downside, but this still fills a huge niche that the others dont. My Xbox elite controller is cool and all, but has neither a gyro nor capacitive joysticks. My dualsense has a gyro, but no capacitive touch so I need to activate it with a button hold or leave it always on.
The Xbox and PS5 controller also don’t treat the paddles as independent buttons by default, so you need an extra layer of software on PC that allows mapping those buttons to arbitrary inputs. Steam Input can overwrite this sometimes, but it’s very inconsistent on a game + hardware basis. The companion app is a concerning “feature”. Hopefully it’s just marketing trying to make up a fancy phrase for “hardware driver”.
- Comment on Blizzard promise "something for everyone" in Warcraft's 30th Anniversary Direct next month 4 weeks ago:
They’re finally ending the official servers, releasing the source code, and allowing private servers?
- Comment on League of Legends’ anti-cheat won't brick your PC, Riot insist, after adding Valorant’s controversial system to the MOBA 6 months ago:
Time to switch to dota. Smite 2 also coming out soon…
- Comment on FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison 7 months ago:
Imagine being able to pay off a 10 billion dollar debt with just 25 years in prison. Proportionally, any normal person that defaults on a regular amount of debt should logically be able to rectify that with just a week in the county jail. 10 billion buckaroos for 25 years is dirt cheap.
Meanwhile, Vietnam is seeking the death penalty for multi-billion dollar fraud because of the untold damage done, and a lack of remorse by pleading not guilty and trying to get away with it. The US just can’t seem to beat 'nam when it matters.
