- Comment on Fourth Most Populous Country in the World Bans Most Social Media for Kids 15 hours ago:
I think that the person you replied to is suggesting that by arguing on the authorities terms (that it’s about kids) you’re legitimising them.
- Comment on New report claims Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 studio fired translator to replace them with AI and "save finances" 1 day ago:
Nah, AI is fucking sentient bro. Any day now it’ll magically start understanding context, tone and sarcasm etc
^/s^
- Comment on Horizon Chase Turbo is getting delisted after the Epic Games layoffs 3 days ago:
Thankfully I know a fit girl who’s really into game preservation and probably wouldn’t mind lending me a copy if I want to play it.
- Comment on Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says that while there are legit types of AI content on the platform, the company is considering Face ID and other passkey verification methods to ensure there's human behind 4 days ago:
I assume the why of this is because they need to prove to advertisers that the clicks come from real humans. That’s possibly also the motivation for Meta lobbying for age verification.
- Comment on EverQuest Legends is the 1999 MMO you know and love born again with more respect for your time 5 days ago:
Aye, I learned this the hard way after about 30k hours in various MMOs (but mostly WoW).
I’m 3 years clean now though!

MMO
respect for your time

- Comment on OpenTTD devs clarify store changes with Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release as Atari contribute server funding 1 week ago:
TLDR is they got in bed with Atari to the detriment of their users because Atari gave them money. But they’re still grateful for user donations lol.
They then tried to justify it by saying they owe everything to TTD and Chris Sawyer hoping that nobody will notice neither Chris Sawyer or anyone who developed TTD works for Atari (Atari in fact bought the rights from Chris Sawyer). Atari itself is of course just a hollow brand name that’s been passed around corporate entities to empty customer wallets based on nostalgia for over 25 years now.

lmao even
- Comment on Transport Tycoon Deluxe returns from Atari - now a requirement for OpenTTD via Steam and GOG 2 weeks ago:
If you want to use the graphics, sound and music from the original TTD in OpenTTD when you’ll need it.
- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 2 weeks ago:
Makes sense. Being an ISP doesn’t really fit with being an advertising company masquerading as a tech company.
- Comment on Transport Tycoon Deluxe returns from Atari - now a requirement for OpenTTD via Steam and GOG 2 weeks ago:
It sure would be a shame if people got OpenTTD from their website then pirated TTD.
I would never do anything like that though.

- Comment on Marathon's credits include the artist whose work Bungie used without permission 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure they’re super duper sorry and they’ll never do it again!
- Comment on Many more US states are planning or already have operating system age verification laws 3 weeks ago:
It’s easier for them to impose their will on a small amount of people (OS devs) who will in turn impose that will on everyone else thus tightening their control.
In short, hierarchy.
- Comment on Microsoft's next console will play PC games too, and it's currently codenamed Project Helix 3 weeks ago:
Project Helix
In lieu of a final name I’m just gonna call it the Slopbox.
- Comment on Bungie ask Marathon critics to delay "full reviews" till the release of an endgame zone, and I am wistfully reminded of Vault of Glass 3 weeks ago:
Big “it gets good 20 hours in” vibes here!
- Comment on Banning children from VPNs and social media will erode adults' privacy 4 weeks ago:
Yep, and “age verification” is just a euphemism for identity verification.
- Comment on UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully 4 weeks ago:
Yep, it’s essentially “give us some pocket change to stop us really doing something about it”.

I thought you were reciting the lyrics to Destroy Rock & Roll by Mylo lol

Welcome to the dystopian future… except it’s now :(
- Comment on An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me 1 month ago:
Surely that should be “A Person using an AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me”?
This smells like PR bait trying to legitimise AI.
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 1 month ago:
Oh no, won’t someone think of the billion dollar company and their cultists! lmao
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 1 month ago:
If that’s the case I’d bet it’s because the 3rd party launcher is embedded which is what Ubisoft did with Assassin’s Creed.
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 1 month ago:
Haha yeah. At least for online ARPGs. No such problem with Grim Dawn, Chronicon, Wolcen etc

Hey! Buy our 25 year old game for £36!
It comes with a free always online requirement! Also included is the opportunity of a lifetime to open an exclusive Battle.net account to use the mandatory 3rd party launcher!
Don’t forget the new QoL additions we’ve locked behind a new class DLC!
- Comment on MindsEye studio reportedly installed monitoring software on staff PCs without their knowledge, as execs continue alleging sabotage 1 month ago:
Perhaps I’m too cynical these days but what chance did they have with a name like Build A Rocket Boy?
Every time I see it I think is it “Build A Rocket, Boy” a la GoW or “Build A Rocket Boy” a la Astroboy… like WTF does it mean!!!
