- Comment on "People were just not ready for" Starfield, says game's composer as he talks "visionary" Todd Howard 2 weeks ago:
It was, in many ways, all the worst parts of their previous games compiled in to one, with none of the redeeming elements. Like, it seems the internal decision makers have an extremely distorted view of why they have been successful in the past, and the actual production line seemed completely disorganized and dysfunctional. The design and goals were bad, and the execution was bad.
They should have learned from the criticism of oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, 4 and 76, but it seems like they discarded all criticism(genuine or otherwise) on the grounds that the games were successful. And only listened to praise (whether it was wide spread, or from a narrow audience).
Maybe because it wasn’t a success they’ll actually listen to criticism and take the time to sort through it, or maybe they’ll just assume the issue was the space theme and will continue down the procedural shooter looter slop path.
- Comment on Meta's AI display glasses reportedly share intimate videos with human moderators 4 weeks ago:
Display on my glasses? That would be neat. Camera and microphone on my glasses? Why the fuck would I want that.
It’s a devil’s bargain. Except that the benefit is pretty slim next to the obvious cost.

“I’m being helpful by supporting their development!”
doesn’t write a single line of code, just submits claude code without reviewing it or even testing
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video Ad Tier Sparks Class Action Lawsuit From Subscribers 2 years ago:
Hazbin hotel aired, used the free trial month to watch that, not going back to prime any time soon, same issue as most of the rest of the streaming services, too expensive for the content I actually want to watch on them.
