Google is a colossal waste of time, talent and resources.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 day ago:
You aren’t wrong, but it just feels right, is this what being an Apple fan is like?
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 day ago:
It is ok, your mom already told me about it.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 day ago:
Yeah it sucks but imagine spending a good chunk of that on a Nintendo Switch that has built in planned obsolencse and will be a brick in a couple of years.
Does the price difference matter as much when you see it in that light? You can always use your Steam Deck as a computer in any way you want to.
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 3 days ago:
Anyone who thinks age verification and claims to be a linux fan needs to get their head on straight, this is meant to consolidate control not protect kids. They don’t give a shit about kids.

- Comment on Valve just published two guides on how to get the most of the Trackpads on[ your Steam Controller or Deck 1 week ago:
They are CRITICAL, I can make control schemes for complex games like Cold Waters DotMod that I could never dream of doing with a normal gamepad.
- Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment? 1 week ago:
I would argue that the purpose of AI is to convince us that technology can actually give the wealthy access to the benefits of the talented. So long as everyone believes it does, it doesn’t matter if it isn’t actually true… until of course the bubble pops.
- Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment? 1 week ago:
AI will not pay off as a bet.
- Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment? 1 week ago:
They own infinite shovels and are too incompetent to figure out what use digging holes is to people.
- Comment on What is the aim of all the AI investment? 1 week ago:
To culturally associate tech workers as low skilled and low paid so that worker leverage can be reduced.
The strategy has succeeded spectacularly even though AI is mostly a scam and will never replace skilled human tech workers, just help rationalize dehumanizing them.

I am so tired of this empty vessel taking up headline space that could be focused on actual people of substance.
- Comment on The AI boom hasn’t stopped U.S. companies from hiring cheap offshore labor, and overseas call center employment is still skyrocketing 1 week ago:
The point of AI is to justify doing this to all tech work, it really doesn’t matter if the AI works so long as people believe it does out of fear.

I keep almost biting on this one.
- Comment on The original Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light Complete Edition enter the GOG Preservation Program 2 weeks ago:
These games have great atmosphere, they play like an interactive movie that is still 100% an action fps.
I prefer the Stalker series, but they don’t reach the “cinematic” world building heights the Metro series does in terms of environmental immersion.

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Based on my experience with how people respond to things I post I am not convinced at all this strategy even increases engagement.
Maybe you can show a number for a slightly higher click through rate, I don’t know and it doesn’t reslly matter since people so obviously tend to bounce off articles that fish for clicks in a condescending manipulative way that whatever the benefit is (if it exists which I am doubtful), it doesn’t remotely even make up for the greater number of people who just pass the article by because they felt they were being prodded by an emotionally manipulating headline.
I would rather 1 person genuinely read an article I post than 10 people vaguely interact with it, click through to read a sentence or two and then close out of it. Honestly I think the same holds for media entities like The Verge, they just have convinced themselves with bean counting the wrong things that they are optimizing instead of undermining.

They don’t work that way when you allow game companies to purposefully design their games to eventually break…?

- Comment on People Hate AI Art 2 weeks ago:
If it wasn’t I cannot stress to you enough that you are an outlier. Whenever you pick key art for a presentation or blog, your business, or whatever - if you use AI art you give a clear signal that you have low social literacy. You immediately associate yourself with a huge bundle of negative emotions because people, largely, hate this shit.
- Comment on Kash Patel claims AI has stopped school shootings: ‘I’m using it everywhere’ 3 weeks ago:
I think it may be safer for the next generation of kids if we just give them all machine guns and rpgs now rather than continue to let people like Kash Patel wield power.
