And like the worst plagues, it is everywhere. I cannot use a digital medium without it being shoved down my throat. YT summarising my Videos and wanting to write my comments? All advertising being built generated slop? Who in their right mind even wants that future? I see no benefit, just detriment.

Instead of making robots that reduce our society's need to have back breaking labour and exploit the weakest, these big LLMs keep trying to take away the few moments we have at communal expression: Our writing, our art. That is the opposite direction that it should be going in.

As it is right now huge LLMs have been a massive drain on our society: threatening livelihoods, driving up prices, and strengthening fascists via misinformation machines. ML for cancer detection, anti-aliasing? Sounds great. Gigawatts of power and petabytes of RAM for massive LLMs? No.

This is just getting ridiculous. Affordable personal computing is looking to become even more challenging. RAM - for the longest time - was one of the more price relaxed categories of a PC purchase. Not anymore for the foreseeable future. I have no idea how the world keeps on this trajectory.

Fun fact, 25+ years ago for GDC 2000, NVIDIA worked with Quake 3 map designer "Casey", to build a super high polygon map called Area 15 - NVIDIA Bunker, which was a showpiece for the GeForce 2 GTS and id Tech 3 capabilities!

Apart from the fact that this is very obviously a ploy for the Russians to regroup and invade again - because thatโ€™s what they did last time! - that 30-50km strip of land is Ukraineโ€™s land. Why SHOULD they give it to a bully that has been murdering their people and kidnapping their children?

So @mikerose.bsky.social & I decided to do a silly podcast comparing notes about indie games & their history & also about suddenly being middle-aged & tired

As anyone who knows both of us could have guessed, shenanigans ensued immediately

One of the great failures of modern gaming is convincing players they can play for an unlimited amount of time and not get bored

Mate, you played the same game for SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING HOURS

Do literally anything for 75 hours and see how fun it stays...

Why is a game's language tied to windows display language even? On steam you can choose this typically per game in the management properties of the game.

Another Day, another Windows 11 blunder!
Game on the Xbox App runs in German, even though Windows is set to English display language, and the xbox app is set to English. What does a person have to do to make Xbox games run in a desired language? This is not working.
