In 10 years these copilot buttons on keyboards are going to look like Blockbuster buttons on older Roku remotes


Yeah this is my take as well. AI can be a useful tool but putting people out of work so you can save money to create soulless art is just wrong.


I’m not sure that’s possible with multiplayer games, at least the central server part. They could release the central server code as an open source project… that would be very useful. But MMOs need that central communication to even work. I mean I guess you could engineer some sort of peer to peer but I’ve dealt with weird firewall rules in various DCs I’ve had servers located in or god forbid the lack of incoming connectivity in peoples homes. Outbound traffic is usually fairly unrestricted so a publicly available server is the way to go architecturally.


Well if it’s “written off” of their taxes that means it’s taxes they don’t pay which is essentially paid by the rest of us in taxes we do pay. So yeah it should be public domain since we “bought” it.


My brother and ex-wife were both psych majors so I’ve heard lot about this experiment. I’ll give it a shot. Mac, windows or Linux. I’m pan-OS-ual 😀



How dare you have a reasonable response when we all just wanna be pissed. /s

But seriously some people should just not interact with the public. It’s a thankless job and you have to have very thick skin and the patience of a saint. I also have a theory that a large percentage of CEOs are sociopaths/psychopaths so …


The USPTO is notorious for granting insane patents knowing they are invalid or too vague and expect the court system to be the final arbiter. It’s almost as if they like stirring shit up for there own amusement.


I don’t even like Hollow Knight that much but I’ll buy it because it’s $20.


Oh that Centipede… at first I was like “I don’t really want that simulated…”


Death Stranding 1 & 2. I mean they are walking simulators anyway. I’m not dissing the game at all. Probably have 500 hours plus in both of them combined.


I am so ready to just cancel my game pass. This shit just pisses me off.


What exactly is the point of buying these game studios to just shut them down?





But what they don’t take into account is that 75% all at once creates an excitement buzz around the game that ends up causing even more sales then would ever happen otherwise. Look at games like Pokémon go or PalWorld that generated so much buzz. I tried both of them because of the hype and I normally wouldn’t have bothered otherwise.


Holy shit, this is a VR game?!?? Some of these images would cause me to literally shit my pants. It’s creepy as fuck.

But I want to play this SO bad.


And even then it’s sometimes impossible because how much can you keep in your head at once. Everybody specializes on these large projects. I may have 30000 ft view of how things operate but getting down into specifics can be hard. I have some intimate knowledge of the learning management system we develop for, which is way less complex than most games, and there are always little gotchas when you make code or architecture changes.


Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.



Yeah that’s what I thought too. Until you try it. It’s like meth after that.



I’m wondering. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.


I only have the one ps5. I did have a ps4 if that matters. Tried to play like 5 games this afternoon. All of them had a lock on the icon and when I tried to play it complained about PSN.


And 99% of the games I “own”. So much for a relaxing Saturday playing games. Fuck you Sony.



And then they die when the servers are no longer maintained. Make more standalone games that don’t require servers.




Best I’ve done is 17052. This is a fun little time waster



  1. Entry Level Option: GeForce RTX 4060

  5. High-End Option: GeForce RTX 4080 Super





Yeah their stupid naming convention is exactly what was going through my mind reading that.



Fallout is proof you can make a video game show good and still be true to the original game. Halo was a completely different story they tried to throw the Halo brand on and didn’t give two shits about the game. Bungie should have sued them for slander…. or whoever owns the brand now.
