It’d be nice if the Democrats actually did the things Republicans were worried about.

This is literally how all types of insurance works. How is it fraud to pay for insurance and never take advantage of the benefits?

It’s amazing how much money and publicity assholes like Tucker Carlson get even when they come out and say they were wrong, meanwhile your average leftist who’s been saying the same things about Trump for a decade are written off entirely.

I would check out RE 2 remake and RE 7 to start. Each are top-tier games and require no knowledge of the others, and they each represent the two main types of RE games (third vs first person).

Hey Hegseth, my guy, you have officers almost starting WWIII because they’re relying on AI, maybe you should be worrying a little less about how many of your troops get morning wood.

It’s very clear that Trump recently found out he didn’t know how to spell dumb and that it was one of the most impactful moments of his presidency.

Yeah, to me it reads like they actually are only eking out incremental improvements so they want a convenient reason to blame for why their newer models are getting less and less impressive.

Imagine if Obama had asked his supporters to pledge that they would find a way to cheat to vote for Dems if they had to. He would have been impeached the next day.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

Yeah, imagine a non-AI company created a tool that hacked another company. They would immediately be held liable. Why should it be any different just because these AI companies didn’t intentionally set out to hack someone?

Most of the other arcs are better, but the pacing is still grueling for a lot of it. The real problem is the anime went from adapting 2ish chapters an episode down to 1 or less.

Yes, as we all know, prescription drugs are now not only free, but the pharmacist hands you a bag of cash equaling 5 times the cost of the drug’s original price.

Our stockpiles are depleted because of Biden, but no actually they aren’t depleted, but the people who leaked that they are indeed depleted (something I myself just said 5 seconds ago) should go to jail.

Top story on Fox right now is comparing Olive Garden’s Pasta Pass to US election integrity. We certainly live in the dumbest timeline.

Trump says the voting system in the U.S. and more broken and corrupt than any other country despite him and Republicans sweeping in the most recent major elections.

All good points. I play a lot of indie and smaller titles that never get physical releases anyway, so of the games I buy physical is probably only an option 10% of the time anyway, so I just decided for myself I’d rather have my entire library digital for convenience.

Matt Farley, Writer @mattfarley.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
This is why I mostly switched to digital games despite otherwise buying physical media. Unlike a book or a movie, a game on a disc is rarely the full or best version of the product. If I have to download portions of it and future patches, just having it on a disc feels less future-proof anyway.

Ah okay, didn’t realize that.

Matt Farley, Writer @mattfarley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Another reason they won’t do that is I think last I checked Switch cartridges cost around $15 to produce vs. $1-2 for discs. I believe this is one of the reasons N64 games often cost $80-90 when PS1 games were $40-50

Matt Farley, Writer @mattfarley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Doesn’t seem tenable either since those cards hold 64 GB max and most new games on PS5 (other than smaller titles and indies) already surpass that file size.

Matt Farley, Writer @mattfarley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
And if that’s not already baked into the hardware, second best option would be the disc to digital method that Xbox is rumored to be working on. If they aren’t already, having this feature on Xbox might force their hand to develop something similar which could be added any time via firmware.

Simplest option would be just to have a slot on the console that’s compatible with the PS5 drive. People with physical PS4/5 libraries are already livid, so giving no option to play those games on 6 seems like it will only further hurt what’s undoubtedly going to be an already slow adoption rate.

Matt Farley, Writer @mattfarley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I assume this means for existing PS4/5 games to use on those consoles. Also we don’t know for sure whether there will be a disc drive add-on option for PS6 or if the PS5 disc drive might work on it.

This is true but it was also sort of a soft admission by JD that the Trump administration is generating Watergate-level news stories on a daily basis.

Great point that AI is the only product in history being sold by hyping up the idea that it might kill us. I wonder if people who are being asked to use AI at work should start pointing this out to their HR departments and complain they feel unsafe at work?

Rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and we have become exceedingly inefficient at it.

This is where all the rhetoric changes. When the costs are no longer subsidized by investment, people will see what the real value of Ai is. And we're also going to start hearing how bad the free, ad-based models are. Gonna be an interesting June.

I’m also sick of people saying, “I have amazing ideas but I don’t know how to write well.” An idea, even a great one, in and of itself is not what makes a story special. It’s the way a human uses those ideas (which are likely not unique) to explore something in a way that’s unique to them.

People who have fallen in love with GenAI are in their own sort of bubble where they can’t even fathom that other people not only don’t use it but actually find it repulsive.
