Oh, I had a whole row about this in the comments of a review on NintendoLife. The worst people imaginable seem to appear the moment anyone criticises the guy.

Sometimes you succumb to the little voice in your head that says "yes, stay up until 3 am and draw pokémon on a weeknight", and you go with the flow. 😅 I'm quite happy with it though!!! 🎨

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

After an extended argument in a NintendoLife comments section about trans rights (I made the mistake of trying to make people aware that Jonathan Blow is a shit person) I really do wonder if it’s even possible to curate a good gaming community.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Just in case you didn't know ModRetro fucking sucks and "Automated War Initiative" is a disgusting title Also, War Crime Enthusiast Palmer Luckey is incredibly thin skinned and will chase you around various social media platforms if you talk sauce about him and his shitty M64. Worth it.

FB comment:

Palmer Luckey: Mike Fink the M64 is $230 not $320 and it is far more powerful than the Mister. We developed our own core and open sourceed all the hardware and software

And Aduril helps kill Russians, not children

Me: Palmer Free Luckey that's without the controller, not included, which is $90

And also fuck you

We still clown on you with memes
Palmer Luckey and is shit handheld emulator, along with other fascists that don't care about human life, like Elon Musk and JD Vance

The below is burned into my brain and it's about as appealing a pitch as if video games involved getting shot with an actual gun.

"The year is 2030. It's a rainy Saturday afternoon. You've just finished mining 30 obsidian ore playing Crypto Crush Saga, a match-3 mobile game.
You open up The Elder Chains Online and feel a rush of excitement. Your school buddy has spent years becoming a Master Blacksmith, and he has agreed to turn 10 obsidian into an Obsidian Battlestaff, a HUGE upgrade over the Mithril Mace you’ve been wielding for the last months.
It’ll take him an hour or so. In the meantime, you log into Clash of Guilds, and use the remaining obsidian to upgrade your town hall to the next level.
That should keep your village safe for now.
You wish you could fast forward time to tonight. Your Guild has plans to go for a deep run into the wilderness in Old School Rune Chains, and your prospects of a successful run (and great loot) have never been better.
All guild members have been spending the past 2 weeks grinding for better weapons, and you’ve agreed (through a vote) to use the Guild treasury to buy everyone a new full set of Red Dragonhide Armor.
Tonight’s objective is to kill the level 128 Frost Giant hiding in the Cave of Sorrow. He has a 5% chance of dropping an Immaculate Orb of Brilliance, of which there are currently only 4 in existence.
The Orb can be used as a power source in an upcoming space exploration game, and should give your guild a great advantage in reaching distant galaxies first. A 5% drop rate is low, but you’re feeling optimistic.
In the distance, you hear a faint 'BloCkChAIn doEsNT bRiNg AnYtHiNg nEW tO gAmES'. You shrug, and join your friends in the Discord voice channel.

Life is good."

Visually the game hasn’t aged a day, and the gameplay is still really solid. The writing has definitely aged from my perspective though. It doesn’t appeal to me anywhere near as much as it did when I was a fair bit younger…

Being told that the future of software engineering is facilitating AI agents. Defining requirements and letting them handle the code, review and QA. How the fuck cal you call yourself an engineer at that point? You’re a glorified middle manager for a robot. What a miserable existence.

I find No Man’s Sky on the Switch 2 really frustrating. I bought it so I could play with my boyfriend with cross-play and I’ve basically been able to do so exactly once because it’s consistently a patch behind. It doesn’t even have the current expedition yet.

Basically any piece of software you interact with has bugs. It’s pretty much guaranteed. I do acknowledge that frequent bugs can take you out of an immersive experience, but I’d still hesitate to say they ruin things for me.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Watching yugioh fans justify still being excited for their game by saying “this is actually what translators want, it helps them!” Just say you want to play the game, I’ll respect you more than if you just said shit that is entirely contrary to reality.

I think that there’s some likelihood of similarities in psychology. Under similar selection pressures different species often develop similar traits. While the environments will be different, competition for resources is likely to produce similar behaviour patterns to the ones we developed.
