5 days agoI’m still rocking a Pascal GPU from Nvidia. Shit’s not even officially supported driver-wise anymore, but it’s only getting more dear to me, especially with all the news.

“The data we share is navigational data used to make sidewalks safer for all users,” the Coco spokesperson continued. “For example, we provide real-time sidewalk hazard information to BlindSquare, a navigation app built for people who are blind or have low vision. …"
It’s always for someone’s safety, for fuck’s sake, even if doesn’t make any sense. Always some vile argument that, when refuted, makes you the inconsiderate person who doesn’t think of others’ safety.
Very surprised to read about blind people being the excuse this time, not children.
What you’re describing is exactly what I’m wondering. Maybe I’m just not too deep into the topic, but it seems so arbitrary to me that they went with the whole isolation thing in the first place for no reason that I can see, other than the “oh no, it’s hacking stuff!” narrative being pre-planned and orchestrated for.
In other words, I am siding with the accusations of this whole wave of “AI” suddenly hacking into stuff, with different models from different companies wondrously doing the same thing one after another, being a publicity stunt that one company started and others, as they do, copying just to stay relevant.
Although I feel like maybe I’m going Chuck McGill here because I am very biased.
Am I just stupid for not believing that any of the models actually did any of that on their own? I feel like the companies behind them start claiming crazy shit like this every time people start questioning “AI” more and/or losing interest. Isn’t that how OpenAI dropped Sora amidst the dwindling hype to keep the investors hooked? Now it’s back to scary stories about “AI” being so good and advanced that it’s about to hack everything and what, actually think for itself?
There is no X big enough for me to press to doubt this enough.
2·3 months agoOpenRA on PC (I totally suck 😅)
I’ve been gaming for decades and still suck at RTS. So bad that I have been eyeing various titles without daring to approach them. Wish you luck and believe in yourself - don’t miss out on the fun like I do!
GTA V on PS4 again but I consider getting it for the Steamdeck 🤔
I’ve been playing some games on Steam Deck with the goal of making greater use of the trackpads for movement and a combination of camera and a multi-button menu (mouse as default, action menu layer on click that is removed upon click release in the layer itself). It’s incredibly fun when you configure it right! Truly feels like a new way to experience something familiar - greatly recommended.
The Talos Principle.
Been sitting in my library for a while. Kept holding off because I wanted to use my brain less during leisure, but puzzle games just help me relax and bring me so much joy, even when I’m exhausted - really great alternatives to my beloved shooters, ESPECIALLY when I’m exhausted.
I’m loving this game. Super excited to play other titles in the series. Or even beat it again, this time in a different language just to learn it, because there’s just so much to read - which I also love.
And it’s loaded with secrets and Easter eggs. Some have made me mad, but very proud to finally discover. I’m at a point where I still wonder if all the secrets I have uncovered are indeed secrets, meaning optional and lead to something extra, or I’ve been fooled to believe I have free will and achieve something beyond the bare minimum. If you’re reading this and know the answer, please don’t reveal it, as going blind really makes this game shine.
And of course, loving the environments and the soundtrack. Such a pleasure after a work day or anything else you want to unwind after.
Thanks for the demos! I think I might try The Heir: Steampunk Escape Room.
Here’s mine:
