  I was just thinking how useful that would be in the Steam Next Fest thing. So much slop to filter out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite boss hopes to take on Roblox's massive everythingverse with a "very different" massive everythingverse, as Epic unveil genAI-infused Unreal Engine 6⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Roblox CEO is also part of Peter Thiel’s accelerationist cult

  Girl, it means it’s gonna be full of AI slop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We have found ourselves over extended", new Xbox CEO says amid reports of plans for major job cuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft has no idea what it means to make good games. They’re just making decisions based on budget numbers and trying to come up with the words after to justify it.

  These two hardly sound human in the quotes. How can they make games for people? They forgot how to be people!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant you didn’t recognize the symbols.

  I totally get skimming a marketing email and missing something in the subject line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s wild to me, this is something that was covered in my American history class. Not nazi symbology specifically, but we were shown plenty of images that featured the SS bolts. They’re also commonplace in movies and media set then.

  …weird concept for a Trek game.

  Dunno about this one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, lemme be clear, I don’t. Especially together, it’s absurd to claim ignorance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a way, I can understand not being familiar with the black sun, but the SS bolts is really fucking well known

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis studio have used "AI-assisted tools" during development, but swear "any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Or refined” doing some heavy lifting heir

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Unofficial builds of Subnautica 2 are currently circulating online," Unknown Worlds confirm, just days before the ocean survival game's early access release⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been really interested in this game, but I think I’m gonna wait a few days to see how complete it is at release and consider buying after that.

  There’s enough to play right now and while I’d love to explore another underwater adventure like Subnautica, I don’t want to restart later to get a more complete experience.

  Honey, if you wanna pay that for me, I ain’t opposed, but I got rent and cars and food to pay for, I’ll wait for a price I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's first birthday is here, cue an anniversary patch giving everyone in the J'RPG special hairdos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking of picking this up when it’s on sale, but I have so many games to play currently and I figure this one will only get cheaper with time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death Stranding 2 patch 1.4 should make it look better on lower settings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool news for us Steam Deck players. The first one runs just fine but the second chugs a bit on settings medium or higher.

  Huh???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller shows signs of life, as leaker suggests that Valve has received its "first large quantity" shipments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh snap it’s got the Playstation joystick config… I kinda want this to replace my dying DS4 I’ve repaired a few times now. I wonder how easy it’ll be to reach over those pads and touch the sticks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Slay The Spire 2 PvP mod lets you battle friends mid-run to see who's made the better deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never wanted that but gosh it does sound fun!

  Might be a bit rough if someone is playing The Silent and others are playing anything else 🤭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold Subnautica 2's fancy fresh windows that come as part of its new procedural base building system⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that window system does look really cool.

  Looks like a nice mix of prefab pieces and voxel building

  But, like, why? Why not say “here’s a link to a discussion about just that”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …why did you reply like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No communications platform lasts forever. Time to get “discord alternatives” trending

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t they say similar shit about tracking, too? Then they backtracked that with later updates?

  It sucks to see, but I think Firefox is going down the shitter.
