We have now had two U.S. elections in a row where incumbents got wrecked because of "the economy" even though, by most objective measures, the economy was doing incredibly well on the eve of *both* elections (and maybe even accelerating slightly).

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Steam is now turning into Youtube for games. This helps both AAA and indie devs, which means, make good games and Valve will show your game to millions. No marketing budget required.

"people who hate AI interacted with an LLM once in 2024 and think it never improved" *me interacting with LLMs in late 2026

Valve said it plainly this week: Steam visibility comes from people buying and playing your game, not wishlists. No shortcut. Make something players want, keep improving it, respect the community. That's Players First.

Has anyone that played Rimworld tried a “Good” playthrough? No warcrimes, no slavery, no organ harvesting, no gas chambers, no drugs, no cannibalism. Just trying to be actual good people? I don’t think I can personally, I like human leather couches

This is the problem with a lot of "media literates" and their interpretations of Dune. They latch on to Herbert's brief psychosis when he wrote Messiah and not the wider themes of the entire series. Paul, and then Leto II, where not only entirely justified in their actions but entirely morally correct. If you take it at just the first three books, Paul overthrows a stagnant, feudal corporatist empire who's leader was willing to cozy up with hedonistic pedophiles in order to kill a man he viewed like a son because said man's popularity threatened his family's dynastic power. The Great Houses where willing to fight to defend this system, and suffered for it. And the machinations of the Bene Gesserit lead to all this to begin with when Paul was impossible to control. To say nothing of Alia's brief rule, an abomination of the Bene Gesserit's own making. Leto II meanwhile says verbatim Paul's failure was not going far enough. The Golden Path was essential to saving humanity from itself and threats beyond. If you take Brian Herbert's two follow up novels as canon, if Leto II hadn't enacted the atrocities of the Golden Path, humanity would have been wiped out by Omnius as they would have been totally unprepared to confront him. Note that Brian Herbert based these two books off his father's notes. Saying "Paul is actually the villain" is ignoring context for the ramblings of an unwell author who couldn't read his own work despite the fact he wrote it.

None of those things sound like a negative thing to me If I fight a boss and die at phase 3 I wana go back and fight it at phase 3 That shit is so annoying in souls games lmao

Here's a wild idea: What if people who hate AI just... didn't use it? And people who enjoy using AI could simply keep using it? No insults. No constant lectures. No treating the other side like they're stupid. > You don't have to love AI. > You don't have to hate AI. > And you definitely don't have to agree on everything. Totally wild idea? Isn't it?

the more i think about it the more video games as a concept the more they horrify me. just a machine for totalizing disassociation which consumes days or years and leaves you with nothing

Don’t understand why people are upset with @EpicGames embracing AI/vibe coding. The future looks good and the longer you try to ignore/hate on the acceleration of these tools the further you fall behind. But hey most people are behind anyways and will stay that way regardless of AI being a thing or not 😅
