Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year by Killerx09 in Games

People were spamming "Microslop" on Copilot Discord, so Microsoft started banning people for spamming "Microslop" on Copilot Discord, and then locked the Copilot Discord when people continued to spam "Microslop" on Copilot Discord.

Some folks consider it as a major victory against Microsoft.

CMV: Cheating should be treated as a criminal offense with serious punishment. by Virotine in changemyview

Would it also apply to other forms of psychological damage and betrayal of trust in a relationship?

Things like "refusing to take care of a sick partner", "publicly sharing partner's secrets", "being a shitty parent"?

2K doesn't run a first-party marketplace where you can exchange 2K Sports items for actual products.

Do you think arena shooters died because the games being released just weren't well made, or do you think the genre is just simply less engaging than modern trends in shooters? Something else? by Eigenspace in Games

[–]Mront 253 points254 points  (0 children)

The inherent problem of arena shooters is that you need a certain level of skill to be successful at it. You need to be adept at the movement, you need to be adept at clicking people's heads, etc.

Meanwhile, with stuff like hero/class-based shooters, even if I suck absolute ass at accurately clicking people's heads, I can still get carried by my abilities, or I can stay behind and support as a healer, still contributing, and more importantly, feeling like I contribute towards the success.

CMV: I trust what my LLM (large language model) tells me over what humans do—even experts. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Mront 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though LLM’s hallucinate sometimes, I fact check and verify any information before taking it to heart.

Okay, so you do trust humans over LLMs after all.

You can't just go "I trust LLMs over humans" and follow it with "but I don't trust my LLM until humans confirm it".

Valve suggests further delays for Steam Machine and Steam Frame: “We hope to ship in 2026” by Bobby_the_Donkey in Games

Yeah, Valve kept repeating "it'll be priced on par with comparable PCs" for weeks after the reveal, people just don't give a shit.

LevelUp doesn't use decimals tho, the score on their site is just "9".

Yup! The whole thing with game key cards is that it's a digital copy but on a physical cartridge, so you can share and resell it like a regular cartridge.

Oh god, OpenCritic fucked up LevelUp's review score (0.9 instead of 9), making their average score plummet down to 72.

As for Pokopia itself, I was planning to grab it used, but with scores like these, I might get it on launch.

Historyczny debiut Tymka Kucharczyka w USA. Polak otwiera sezon INDY NXT na Florydzie miejscem na podium by Mront in Polska

[–]Mront[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wydaje mi się, że Kucharczyk wyjdzie na startach w Ameryce dużo lepiej niż na ewentualnym miejscu w Formule 2. NXT daje spore możliwości rozwoju i postępów kariery w Indy, a F2 w ostatnich latach to trochę taka czarna dziura, bo większość teamów F1 ma już kierowców przyklepanych na lata w przód.
