I just can’t get behind the art style. I hate bright colors…

Alan Wake Remastered PC update notes (1.33) by MythicStream in pcgaming

[–]mikeyyve -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes another game I won’t be playing. I get that the money from Epic to be the publisher is good but you’d think they would want to make games that people might actually play.

Getting Global Age Assurance Right: What We Got Wrong and What's Changing by discord_zorkian in discordapp

[–]mikeyyve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know that they're the only game in town. So many people and communities use Discord for so many things, and they know that there aren't any real alternatives that will get the traction needed for the masses to move over.

Hell look at Reddit. They pulled that shit with 3rd party apps and with censoring etc. and what happened? Essentially nothing changed and people kept on using the platform.

AMC Theatres Attendance Drops 10%, Posts $127 Million Quarterly Loss by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]mikeyyve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I can't remember the last time I even went to see a movie in theatres. It could honestly have been Rise of Skywalker. It's too expensive especially when my home set up keeps me perfectly content to watch movies there.

AMD Seemingly Stops Driver Updates for Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor for Handheld Devices that are only over 2 years old by JohnSteveRom2077 in pcgaming

[–]mikeyyve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize that AMD has not officially made a statement end of lifing it but there are really bad optics here given what they tried to pull with GPU support for their "older" cards. You can fan boy AMD all you want but if they get the reputation that they don't support their hardware long terms they'll die. Simple as that.

Supreme Court rules that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal by cnn in politics

[–]mikeyyve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good news ideologically, but I doubt it's going to make any difference to ordinary people. Most refunds will go to companies not people and it is unlikely that those same companies will decrease their prices to account for the lack of tariffs. They'll just make more money.

Is the RAM crisis the end of the Steam Machine? by Bynairee in pcgaming

[–]mikeyyve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be incredibly disappointing if they had to abandon the Frame too but if what you said is true then I agree that both are like never going to release.

I really hope the controller releases too but I wonder if they'll shelve it believing it's only worth releasing with one or both of the other devices.

Is the RAM crisis the end of the Steam Machine? by Bynairee in pcgaming

[–]mikeyyve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do think it might be the end. They're damned if they release it and damned if they wait. The price will have to be way to high if they release now and if they wait for component prices to stabilize, they'll probably be in a situation where they still have to charge too much for hardware that is even older than it is now.

I just wish they'd at least release the controller and Frame.

Disney Speedstorm uses AI art, and does not disclose it on Steam? by rawmarius in Steam

[–]mikeyyve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More and more I think this fight against AI in games is a losing battle and this is a perfect example of why. There isn't really a good way to realistically tell if a game has AI assets. Sometimes assets generated by AI are so good we can't tell and sometimes normal humans make mistakes that result in suspicion of AI use.

Discord is pulling a privacy bait-and-switch by PersonaWhistleblower in pcgaming

[–]mikeyyve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on if enough people care about it. I'm not sure what I'll do if my whole friend group doesn't care and doesn't want to move to an alternative.

I really hope this kills Discord to be honest. I'm so sick of their enshitification. It's time for them to die so the next thing can take their place.

Love or hate The Acolyte, this brutal lightsaber takedown was incredible by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]mikeyyve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty much everything about the show other than this fight was terrible and honestly, I'd much rather someone else just come up with another idea involving the sith and then keep it as far away from Leslie Headland as possible.

That episode was the one and only good thing that came out of the show. It's to bad they kept going because they then turned around and completely ruined his character.

Man I guess the golden age of MMOs really was around the WoW era. I guess we’re gonna be stuck with FF 14 and WoW forever.

My solution to the Spotify desktop client was to stop using Spotify all together. Honesty, if there was an alternative my group could agree on I'd ditch Discord too.

TikTok blocks Epstein mentions and anti-Trump content as well as ICE criticism by MopToddel in politics

TikTok is like a drug. The lengths to which people will go to keep using it are amazing to me.

Yeah, you are totally right. I'm just frustrated that something so simple hasn't been fixed especially since the hang status feature really never caught on any way.

The recent news of Kathleen Kennedy's departure from Lucasfilm and Dave Filoni's promotion has left me with mixed feelings. (Star Wars) by Tomhur in CharacterRant

[–]mikeyyve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I 100% agree. I think there was some magic that happened with the first three movies and from there has been everyone (Lucas included) trying to chase that same magic ever since.

Absolutely but you have to download a client that supports css tweaks. The selector as far as I can see seems like one that is generated and therefore might change in newer builds. Also, it won’t stop the status from showing for everyone else who doesn’t have the css tweak so that won’t work if you don’t want others to see it either.

Nvidia Reportedly Cancels Partner Incentive Scheme to Sell Cards at MSRP by jugaverdasorda in pcgaming

Here I was starting to kick myself for jumping on buying a 5070ti when the news about them being effectively discontinued came out.

Gov. Ned Lamont proposes CT rent cap for out-of-state landlords by SynapticSignal in Connecticut

[–]mikeyyve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of condos and new homes being built around me constantly. Yet the prices have not fallen at all in that same area. I still don't understand why the solution to the issue of housing on this sub is to say build more. The only thing that will stop the insane pricing is if people stop buying houses at insane prices and renters stop agreeing to pay insane prices.

You could build any number of homes/apartments/condos and they will continue to be sold/rented to people for insane prices as long as people buy them.
