Another option is to determine when you want to play and set that regularly and in advance. It’s a lot easier for everyone to be available on every Wednesday night because they know that time is already committed.

I haven’t really seen demands for lower prices on AI slop, but I’ve seen a lot of outright refusal to buy at any price, and returns when the disclosure came later.

I’m not sure if I’m ahead of the game having left reddit entirely before I could get banned from anything, or if I’m missing out on a core cultural experience.

Well it makes sense. After all his study into reaching for but never quite grasping things, a shift into right wing commentary is only natural.

Tell us you’re from .ml without telling us.

And then wait for them to do it again in about 10 years to grab for even more. It’s not a peace plan, it’s surrender.

Imagine looking at the secret police rounding people up and sending them to camps and thinking “Yeah, more of that please.” Absolutely fucking horrifying to see that people like that exist and aren’t so deeply mired in shame for being the way that they are that they’re comfortable expressing those opinions aloud.

You’d think so, but check out OPs other posts and you see a trend of garbage, so either he’s a dedicated troll with a wide collection of work, or he’s a malformed homuncus accumulating a collection of the worst takes in place of a personality.

You always do manage to have the absolute worst fucking opinions, OP.

If someone using xitter hasn’t noticed it got worse, it’s probably because they don’t think the Nazis are a bad thing.

It really sounds like you’ve misunderstood what this change is actually doing. This isn’t steam forcing you to use a particular language, those settings aren’t going anywhere. It’s also not going to force you to see reviews in the game’s native language either, so your worry about “french reviews of French games made in france” is just… wrong. What it’s doing is sorting reviews by language, under the idea that reviews written in the language you use are probably more relevant to you. And if even that is unacceptable, you can disable the whole system to keep it just the way it is.

This actually means you’re MORE likely to get reviews that are more accurate. First, because it limits the impact of regional review bombing. Now if a game upsets one particular population, their review bombing doesn’t render the whole score meaningless. It’s worth pointing out, games have been heavily review bombed for the sin of competing with, or beating, other regionally popular games for awards. It also means that if the content of a game hits better, or worse, for a demographic based on language, that will be reflected here. If the game is getting rave reviews where it was made, but the translations and voice work for YOUR localization are terrible, you will see reviews that reflect that. You probably don’t care how great the voice acting was in the native Chinese version if you only speak English, and what may seem culturally brilliant to a Japanese audience may lose a lot of the impact for you.

I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.

This change was made with you in mind.

Yeah they can’t say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won’t be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.

Okay but are any AI chatbots really open source? Isn’t half the headache with LLMs the fact that there comes a point where it’s basically impossible for even the authors to decode the tangled madness of their machine learning?

Okay but also giving a kid a sex toy before their 18th birthday is how you end up on a list and have to tell your neighbors about it.

Itch delisted ALL Nsfw games, rather than sorting and qualifying content.

Well that’s certainly optimistic.

So peaceful words aren’t working? Well alright, sounds like it’s time for plan B.

Can you also verify that the vote it presents to be counted? Can you verify the counting? For every way to verify computerized voting, there are a dozen ways to compromise it.

Yeah it sounds fun unless you have any awareness of how this actually worked out when it was used in the past. Fully not okay.

That doesn’t really read to me like a good sign. If Krafton is willing to do what they did to Subnautica’s team, then basically no contract they sign is worth the paper it’s written on. Seeing them effectively murder their own project and dismantle a proven successful developer like this doesn’t inspire confidence that they’ll be more graceful in handling others.
