Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 06/10/2026of all the companies America allowed to have control over everything, Oracle was the one we had to pick, when my experience is that everything Oracle touches turns to absolute shit. have you seen PeopleSoft? 000

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 05/10/2026this makes more sense for the several base ps5 games using 720p framebuffers and fsr3 because that's the situation the industry allowed itself in 🙃 000

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026If you are caught up giving money to something like this, you can be debanked and blacklisted, or worse. The veracity of the claims doesn't matter. Please donate to reputable organizations, not individual accounts online. 0186
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026yeah regardless of anyone's feelings on the situation, unwittingly sending money to a sanctioned entity can still get you debanked... 070

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026I am as sad as anyone else that there is no way to go back to a pre-AI world. but people gotta start learning to pick their battles, or the fleeting joys you have left will be extinguished by aimless anger. 0112
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026- by-and-large LLMs are a net negative because most people *are* irresponsible, whatever benefits it has - reasonable people are using it to measurably good effect to make things you probably don't realize affect you - yelling at people on the internet does not solve the polycrisis of this moment 1121
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026- reasonable to not want to use software that was built with AI assistance - vibe coded slop is not the same as ai assisted engineering - parasites have exploited open source code before AI and are greatly empowered to do so by it - witch hunting doesn't fix anything 1140
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026these things can all be true at once: - demoralizing to working professionals to be forced to use - genuinely useful in the hands of an experienced SWE - slop code/documentation is noticeably garbage - people who don't make software professionally are speaking *very* confidently about my day job 1178

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 01/10/2026apple does this too but I am not aware of metal pipeline compilation having quite the same scale of problems, at least for apple arm gpus 010
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 01/10/2026nintendo and the rest of the industry learned years ago that monolithic pipeline state was a mistake. instead, Microsoft doubles down, taking Valve's workaround solution and turning it into a marketing point? just ridiculous 120
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 01/10/2026microsoft refusing to introduce a VK_EXT_shader_object - like graphics pipeline model to direct3d 12 and instead leaning on "advanced shader delivery" is an indictment of the priorities of that organization and its complete disinterest in the gaming segment imo 241

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 25/09/2026for the first time in a long time for me, extrinsic rewards became a nice bonus rather than the main reason to play, and the intrinsic fun of just playing well with what I had became everything to me again 010
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 25/09/2026big step for me was realizing that I enjoyed the thrill of an underdog fight and put progress secondary to my goal of staging good fights and playing smart despite odds. glory to Arachne but actually real 210
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 25/09/2026Onboarding had issues, but the game has high expectations of the player and I massively respect that after getting past the original misgivings I had. It's relatable. More games need to expect more from players, and Marathon really wasn't asking for that much. 110
Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 25/09/2026I am happy with Marathon surviving but also painfully aware that the reason the original for-sickos vision of Marathon wasn't working out was mostly the audience 130
