- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 6 months ago:
Got mine basically as soon as they released, and I still use it plenty. I have it set up to be usable as a controller for my PC, and it is by far my favorite controller to use. It’s a dream come true for my controller to become its own console whenever I want.

Making people do something they don’t wanna do is actually fairly difficult. I personally don’t drive or own a gun, but the people who do either tend to be pretty serious about it.

If the images are generated and held by a single person, it may as well be a thought crime. If I draw a picture of a man killing an animal, which is an image depicting a heinous crime spawned by my imagination, and I go to prison over this image, I would consider this a crime of incorrect thought. There are no victims, no animals are harmed, but my will spawned an image of a harmed animal. Authorities dictated I am not allowed to imagine this scenario. I am punished for it. I understand that the expression of said thought is what’s being punished, but that is very literally the only way to punish a thought to begin with (for now), hence freedom of expression being a protected right.
The reason this is a hard issue to discuss in this context is because the topic at hand is visceral and charged. No one wants to be caught dead defending the rights of a monster, lest they be labeled a monster themselves. I see this as a failure of society to know what to do about people like this, opting instead to throw them into a box and hope they die there. If our justice system wasn’t so broken, I might give less of a shit, but as it stands I see this response as shortsighted and inhumane.

Hey man, I’m not the one. I’m literally just saying that the images that AI creates are not real. If you’re going to argue that they are, you’re simply wrong. Should these ones be generated? Obviously I’d prefer that they not be. But they’re still effectively fabrications that I’m better off simply not knowing about.
If you want to get into the weeds and discuss the logistics of enforcing what is essentially thought crime, that is a different discussion I’m frankly not savvy enough to have here. I have no control over the ultimate outcome, but for what it’s worth, my money says thought crime will in fact become a punishable offense within our lifetimes, and this may well be an easy catalyst to use to that end. This should put your mind at ease.
- Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives 6 months ago:
It’s insane to me that the competition can’t compete with the blueprint. I was really hoping that the deck would cause better products to follow, not worse.

I see the gun issue in America in the same light as the car issue. We’re in way too fucking deep, and it’s a part of our culture now. I hate both, but I acknowledge how difficult it is to do something about it.

There’s something to be said about making it as difficult as possible to enable the behavior. Though that does run the risk of a particularly frustrated individual doing something despicable to an actual child. I don’t exactly have the data on how all this plays out, and frankly I don’t want to be the one to look into it. Society isn’t particularly equipped to handle an issue like this though, focusing on stigma alone to kinda try to shove it under the rug.

It’s a picture of a hallucination of a tree. Distinguishing real from unreal ought to be taken more seriously given the direction technology is moving.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Announced for Next Week 1 year ago:
It was modded in by fans well before now, so it’s definitely a wanted feature. People like immersing themselves in the city ambiance, and with good reason. I personally rarely fast travel, or even drive, because there’s usually a lot more to see by just walking around. Convenience isn’t a big priority in a game like this.
