- Comment on Epic Games calls out Apple for rejecting its Games Store in the EU 5 months ago:
That Apple has any say whatsoever over competing App Stores means they are shirking both the letter and intent of EU law.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 5 months ago:
Ah. Ok, that makes sense!
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 5 months ago:
I can’t imagine wanting to play a mobile game on Steam Deck… but having access to other native apps sure sounds like a win. Didn’t consider that.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 5 months ago:
Right. Okay.
But why?

- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 5 months ago:
Then every time their commercial AI outputs anything even remotely infringing, they should be on the hook for every. single. incident. by. every. user. every. time.
- Comment on Armello and Solium Infernum developers League Of Geeks are going "into hibernation" 6 months ago:
Aww. I guess that means no more Solium Infernum content/DLC. 😞
That game is fantastic. I’d happily buy anything they put out.
- Comment on Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ work 6 months ago:
That they would/could access my work for any reason whatsoever… that they even have that ability, that’s not just a line in the sand for me, it’s the Grand Canyon. I expect any kind of cloud storage to be private and protected (e.g. encrypted at rest)… no back doors, no exceptions.
This is beyond the pale, and AI was never part of the concern.
- Comment on Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck 6 months ago:
Let’s gooooo!!!
- Comment on OpenAI putting ‘shiny products’ above safety, says departing researcher 7 months ago:
I always narrow my eyes when I hear someone talk about “safety” in the context of AI, because they usually just mean that the AI doesn’t engage in enough moral grandstanding when you ask it sketchy or risqué questions. That’s the same level of pearl-clutching that Tipper Gore espoused over music in the 90s.
But there are legitimate concerns, like lying about real people and topics, reproducing training data (especially personal information) too closely with the right kind of prompting, etc. The problem is that I can’t tell what kind this person is. Are they upset because the AI can recommend marijuana strains… or because it can do something like leak peoples personal information? The article (and people involved in these efforts) too often lump it all together. See, for example: Anthropic
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 7 months ago:
Steam is currently granting refunds regardless of play time. Open a support ticket (the automated system is still subject to the default rules).
- Comment on Kerbal Space Program 2 feared cancelled as 70 layoffs reported at Take-Two's Seattle offices 7 months ago:
If that’s the case they had better refund literally every single purchase. That game is an unfinished early-access mess.
- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 1 year ago:
It released years and years ago. You realize that, right? That it’s playable… and people like it?
