slaacaa , to Games in Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Things like these make might heart warm. They remind me of a time when video most games where about making a good experience for the users, not about endless MTX and soulless always online games that all try to be the same thing. Good to see that there are still some people in the industry, who carry own these principles.

You say you don’t go on reddit out of principle. Now can’t you understand someone not wanting users sit through a 2 second pointless marketing animation, out of a similar principle?

slaacaa , to World News in Russia lacks 'numbers for strategic breakthrough' in Ukraine: NATO

I really hope this is true. The delay in US funding gave a huge advantage to Russia

slaacaa , to Technology in Is This the End of Plastic? Visa's New Technology Could Replace Physical Cards

Is there an AI technology that would help me not roll my eyes every time I hear AI? Can’t wait to add this to the garbage pile of popped bubbles next to NFT, blockchain and metaverse.

And I’m saying that as somebody who uses LLMs for work regularly, it is a useful tool, but the absolute delusional bullshit hype that imagines uses beyond its capabilities is exhausting.

slaacaa , (edited ) to World News in As Russia Advances, NATO Considers Sending Trainers Into Ukraine

Seems like Putin made a really good investment with funneling money into some Republican politicians’ pockets, the delay in the US funding might actually turn the war in his favor. I’m disgusted by the traitors in the West cheering for Russia, the literal evil empire from the pages of a comic book, trying destroy our way of life in Europe.

Also, homeless is far from a slur in my opinion, and a similar term is used in many language. Using unhoused doesn’t change anything, the people you talk about still don’t have a place to live, but now you can feel better about yourself by using a different word.

Good article on the topic, highlighting the origin of the word, and the reasons many try to use it: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/20/homeless-unhoused-houseless-term-history

slaacaa , to Games in Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

But they can, because it seems like most gamers have goldfish memory, and they forgot/forgave the shitty launch and first years

Right to the point, good summary mate!

slaacaa , to Games in Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue

This is a very good point. It also shows the delusion of the executives, thinking that their next shitty looter shooter will become the new Fortnite, not understanding the oversaturation of the market. People have limited hours to play per day, the only way they can play your game is if they stop playing something else.

slaacaa , (edited ) to Games in Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue

Good demonstration of the current quality of journalism. “Cost X in revenue” doesn’t make any sense, as cost and revenue are the exact opposite things, the difference of which (if I simplify) make up the EBITDA that the quote from the company actually referenced for the 200 M USD negative impact.

I’m not expecting a game journalist be an ACCA certified accountant, but should be at least able to write an accurate title based on the available quotes and information.

Yes, unfortunately this is the case. In an article I read the guy was able to pay chess and Age of Empires with his thoughts and the chip, quite impressive tech indeed, it’s just that you absolutely cannot trust anything near Musk

slaacaa , to Technology in After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year

I got a few months of Apple Music with some device, was happy to ditch Spotify. Not very good, preferred Spotify’s UI and logic, but still a better alternative, and at least not pushing podcasts in my face (which I have zero interest in). I will never use Spotify again

Damn, I read some of their other comments. What a said and weird life this person might have to write wall of texts just to gather dozens of downvotes
