Assuming you’re not just trying to be cheeky, I think it’s safe to assume they meant relative to the average pet.

I didn’t say the average pet was either of those things. What I basically said was that they probably meant when compared to the average pet, ferrets are much more maintenance and less sanitary than usual.

Once again, that’s a single video of one example of an old computer booting up. It’s hardly irrefutable, like anything anecdotal. I’m not even disagreeing on the consensus of newer computers being undeniably faster, this is just a flimsy evidence regardless.

And frankly I don’t care about “contributing” as you describe it. That just amounts to adhering to everyone’s idea of contribution on social media, and I’m not Sisyphus, so…

Anecdotes ≠ proof

I think being crazy as an ‘elite’ pretty much comes with the turf

That’s the implication is it not?

”Hey I have a question, but it might be kind of stupid so I don’t know if it’s worth asking…”

”Hey, there’s no such thing as a stupid question! Go ahead, what is it?”

”Hey, thanks! So, is America a plutocracy-“

”What are you, stupid? Yeah, you’re definitely an idiot. Stupid idiot. Get out of here.”

JRR Tolkien would like to have a word with you

Similarly, If I shit and take a shower after, I’m still not clean!

Sarcasm aside, this sentiment is oozing subjective interpretation mistaken for objective fact. Political views (like more or less any other opinions) are far more complicated than just: “if you are this one thing, you cannot be this other thing.”

You can be fiscally right-leaning and socially left-leaning, as well as the other way around. Likewise, as painful as it may be to hear, capitalism is not mutually exclusive with leftism. By the logic of your opinion, Mamdani isn’t left-leaning either, because he’s still participating in and thereby protecting the capitalist systems of the US. It’s just a silly way of thinking.

I have no doubt it is with the way the prices have been with memory and gas for a while now at this point. Not necessarily Valve’s fault, but it’s gonna suck ass regardless.

I imagine by “AI” they mean strictly LLMs from OpenAI and other related sources. It’s more or less a consequence of the term being used as a catch-all by marketing teams even if it’s misleading.

They’ve for sure used machine learning tools in their development process, I have no doubt about that. I mean, that’s literally what code completion is. That’s been a thing for much longer than LLMs though, and it’s really only a supplement to the actual intentions & efforts of the devs using it. Stuff like that is useless if you don’t have any game development expertise.

If I get to witness the complete and utter fall of Microslop from sheer incompetence and stupidity within my lifetime, I will be very, very happy. Until then, watching them drown above water like this will suffice.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem like the interviewee was ever asked about tools like code completion. The article focuses almost exclusively on ‘generative AI’ and PocketPair’s attitude towards its usage in game development. I don’t think it’s fair to consider it a dodging of questions if said questions seemingly weren’t brought up to begin with.

Besides, I doubt non-devs even really know about/understand machine learning tools in game development aside from the standard AI slop machines. For them code completion probably seems more like a standard programming tool as opposed to something more akin to an LLM, especially since most people already know about things like autocorrect through their phones and the like which is pretty similar.

Ok Mr. Gates

Regardless it’s in poor taste to immediately blame the masses when something so widespread doesn’t go well. I think history and current events has proven more than enough how little that works, if ever. People really aren’t capable of truly acting as part of a perfect whole.

That’s the thing, voters didn’t vote for a Liberal majority. Last year’s election gave the Liberals a minority. There’ve been multiple floor-crossers from the Conservatives post-election, and then they had the majority.

The problem Stop Killing Games is targeting is the DRM for these games that require a server ran by the publisher to always be accessible when you play the game. Pirated or not, all you’ll be greeted with after said servers are shut off is at best a large majority of the game being inaccessible, and at worst a perpetual error screen.

I find it very strange that we hate cops so much only to immediately turn around and revere people who’ve served in the military.

They both serve the state, the only difference (and a relatively arbitrary one at that) is the police suppresses internally whereas the military suppresses externally. They’re both geared toward the exact same end of controlling the opposition.

You can say that “they’re just following orders” but I don’t think I should have to go into detail about the pitfalls of that argument.

Again, that’s only from your (biased) viewpoint. I’m sure you or I can say that with relatively little consideration from our cushy positions in wealthy countries, but try and get, say, the average Sudanese citizen to agree with that. It’s really not gonna work.

Plus to agree with your sentiment is to say that capitalism is worth the suffering it causes. I’m gonna have to disagree with that on principle.
