Nice! I don’t plan to play it anytime soon, but the install size is only 1.7GB so I will download it just in case I need a little hack & slay on my next travel.

The font choice makes it look like it reads CODE SHIT

Valve’s chokehold over PC gaming continues to make me nervous, as the company seems completely uninterested in lifting a finger to actually improve Next Fest or stem the amount of garbage that fills Steam every day now.

The author is correct, there is a lot of garbage on Steam these days. I wish I could go back to the way Steam was in the 2010s, when there were only a few dozens new games each week to chose but they were mostly good. Now you have to spend too much time sorting through the crap.

I think it is not fair to put all the blame on Steam for the current situation. The Steam store is merely a reflection on how the gaming market is in 2026.

The thumbnail picture makes it look like the robot can detach its hands, like flying rocket fists.

Bring back green light, or whatever it was called.

I was much more happier when there were only a few dozen new games on Steam. When I am looking for games then quality is more important than quantity.

I would say a few new lines are OK if they at least improve the readability of the code.

But given that AI was doing the work, I would say it is even less readable now.

The author is a dolt. From the article:

I don’t want to big up Microsoft for doing slightly more than the bare minimum, but an email I received overnight does at least cast renewed light on how terrible Valve’s approach is. An email from Microsoft regarding my “Microsoft Age Verification Status” had this to say:

“Due to your longstanding account activity, we’ve estimated your profile to be an adult account and updated its age verification status to “Verified.” At this time, you are no longer required to complete further age verification for uninterrupted access to features across certain Microsoft products, including Microsoft and Xbox storefronts.”

That is the whole sum of experience that the author had. Absolutely no mention on how and why microsoft came to the conclusion that he is now an adult. Absolutely no consideration that his own experience could be vastly different than what most users have to endure before they are verified. No consideration that, since the workings of this mechanism are opaque, his status could be revoked at any time.

Very bad article. I feel more stupid after reading it.

In the future I will only buy a tv that has a known method of wifi removal. Like this one for example: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/LG+TV+49SJ8000+-+WiFi+module+disassembly/117783

Wow, that is insidious. I did not know that we are living in the cyberpunk future already.

Or you could just … not give it your wifi password

Did a speeding driver write this?

I don’t know what annoys me more: The stupid premise of the article, or the sudden paywall that comes way too late.

I am getting “low T energy” from this guy

Ubisoft has always been bad. They basically invented the whole „singleplayer must be online“ shtick.

Gold is inert, so it should not have done much, I think.

Can a scientist please chime in on this?

I will
