- Comment on Microsoft quietly drops Copilot+ branding from its new laptops after two years — Surface CVP confirms new devices meet hardware requirements but lack controversial branding 2 weeks ago:
VR is an actual technology, AI is just a weapon the ruling class is using to encode a set of cultural norms that further dehumanize workers.

There is no reason a major percentage of people couldn’t one day find usefulness or enjoyment out of VR, the devices are simply an order of magnitude too expensive right now and inherently it isn’t an experience you can share easily.
AI on the otherhand is a cancerous process of stealing (legally or not) well curated large datasets, throwing them into a woodchipper, creating an extremely lossy compression of all that data that is fed to people through a device that constantly hallucinates and then using all of that to rationalize austerity for the humans and institutions that created the datasets and true value in the first place.
VR is an exciting new technology, AI is a process of self immolation of knowledge and the practices and values that safeguard and maintain it for the public benefit.

Imagine if all that money, time, resources and trust had been put in the control of actual game developers?

Everybody who defends the idea that capitalism is the natural and right order of things and cannot be improved upon with an alternate more socialist arrangement of societal resources?

So much money burned in the name of efficiency and wise investment of resources for absolutely fucking nothing but an eventual pathetic, quiet retreat from pushing a future that has already consumed incomprehensible amounts of money with even less to show for it than the VR bubble (though VR is actually cool and an actual technology that works so bad comparison).

- Comment on I'm not saying Bethesda are trolling me specifically, but Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are imminent just as I've modded up the latter for the first time in ages 1 month ago:
A cool indie open world rpg is Gedonia 2, it doesn’t have modding support at the moment like the first one though.

- Comment on Grand-scale FPS 'WARDOGS' should work on Linux / SteamOS, devs confirm working on Proton support 2 months ago:
For OHD? A paid community suppor version that the gives you access to occasional playtests and lets you try the indevelopment version. There is also some singleplayer DLC I haven’t tried.
99% of the time I play the free version, there are several modded servers that have consistent player numbers and the free version is obviously where the playerbase is so you really don’t have to spend money on OHD at all, the monetized parts are more presented as ways to support the developers and community if you love the game.
Idk, the developer wanted to make Project Reality but in a modern game engine and yeah… that is what it basically is and personally I love it.
