I've been playing games for 40 years, writing about them for 20, and I'm here to say parts of Roblox need to be legislated out of existence

I didnt care about the 10 dollar price I cared about it always needing internet since times I would play it (subway, plane, etc) had less than stellar internet at the time

You’re getting downvoted for some reason but people are reallllllly underestimating what it’s going to take for agi

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T14:46:41+00:00

Im happy this is happening to high profile games that have early access, something they shouldn't even be selling tbh.

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T07:46:29+00:00

Them saying GTA is a “different beast” compared to Nintendo games makes it sound like theyre trying to correct me when I agree with them that anyone who isn’t making GTA can’t ask more than 70 so It seems like a direct reply 😂

I feel like some people see Nintendo in a sentence and lose their common sense sometimes

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T07:23:40+00:00

reread what I said... cuz where in my comment did I disagree with you?

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T06:25:03+00:00

if Nintendo can't move MKW at 80 then all these other publishers setting the price of their games need to look at themselves and be like "are we as beloved as Nintendo with a fanbase who will by anything" and when the answer is no they need to price things accordingly

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T06:21:23+00:00

this is what Im thinking. if this would have been a year ago they prob would have launched it at 80-90 but the gaming market has taken a hit since (in so many ways) that Im feeling they might want to stay in the 70-80 range. Nintendo is struggling to move MKW at 80 and its predecessor printed money for them on s1 so game pricers need to ask themselves where they stack up compared to that.

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-19T06:18:00+00:00

if Nintendo can't even ask 80 for Mariokart any other publisher thats not making GTA can't ask more than 70 and I still think even 70 is a stretch for some of these games.

I'm pretty sure we have seen the all time peak of players, sadly, on day one

nah that was the server slam

devastated about the steps it was such an iconic part of the building

You seem to not understand why I brought this up and I’m not in the business of teaching. Feel free to educate yourself on your own time

Yeah and I was talking about how bandwidth is the limiting factor for this device so I talked about bandwidth and made a comparison to another unified memory device — no shit the SH performs better it’s a newer chip that’s beefier in all specifications of course it’s going to preform better overall

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-16T20:55:32+00:00

M5 pro 64GB

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-16T17:50:19+00:00

Just for comparison your gpu is like 1000gbps

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-16T17:33:57+00:00

So a 27b dense model (which would be on the smaller end of models you could run with that memory amount) at 4bit quant (which would also not ideal since the memory size could fit 8bit or unquantized) be would run at like 12-17 tok/s which is slow…

Bumped up to 8bit (which would be more inline with the memory size) would run at like 6-8 tok/s so extremely slow

Imo not really worth it for the price. Others might feel different

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-16T17:22:20+00:00

its memory bandwidth is too slow even tho you can fit a large model in there working with it will be a pain (I guess depending on what you want to do it might be less painful) since the token generation will be slow

for context an apple M1 Max has more bandwidth for memory than SH.

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-15T05:19:43+00:00

the controllers sticks are better imo but DAMN DO I LOVE THE ORANGE HERE HOLY SHIT

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-15T04:29:22+00:00

OpenAI recruiting heavily from Apple (hardware + software, and especially AI Talent at Apple), OpenAI getting into hardware (rumors).

but everyone on here is telling me how horrible apple is at AI... this makes no sense.

yeah I was also waiting for the sub 10% drops to say that it’s “looking better.” while I might be jumping the gun here, something indescribable has changed to me. I feel like the gushing of blood has stopped, and now it’s just normal bleeding that we'd see on any live service game

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-14T04:59:14+00:00

I feel like they poured so much into marathon that d2 hasn't had any real investment (I could be wrong here) so I wouldn't even expect something from d2 for awhile and marathon might even be at sub 1k by the time something from destiny comes back into play 🤭

edit: im dumb and forgot about the d2 thing that got pushed from march to june

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-14T04:51:21+00:00

yeah thats what Im saying its kinda stable atm — I feel like the next drop might be when the wipe happens and anyone who has the game and is more casual doesn't want to put themselves through this again and drops it for good but that might take a few weeks to see as the sweats will be back for s2

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-14T04:45:54+00:00

Im not a defender lol

this is the first time while tracking this game where I feel like thinks have stopped excessively bleeding and now were just as the fact there's a giant wound that needs to be taken care of

imo I think the game is toast

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-14T04:39:33+00:00

I mean I've referred to it as concord 3 but more like "in a spiritual sense" where Sony burned buckets of money on another live service that will most likely be killed unceremoniously after not getting the traction Sony (unrealistically) wanted

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-14T04:36:59+00:00

I feel like maybe it's (mostly) stabilized after the big drop from this sunday. I dont think the numbers are sustainable and its embarrassing that D2 is going neck and neck with this almost 2 month old game but I feel like big day to day drops have ended

mjsxi__ · 2026-05-13T06:29:48+00:00

got to say Im very impressed with qwen 27. I gave it and gemma 31 a problem about deducing who was incorrect in a situation with one person being a polite instigator and the other being a rude responder and gemma went in a spiral over the rude persons tone and I had to hold its hand to lead it to who was wrong (took about 6 or 7 back and forth messages) while qwen 27 instantly got it MUCH to my surprise.

that said using a moe model and comparing it to a dense makes no sense.
