People talking about getting sucked in by chat bots boosting their ego and I fundamentally can't understand this process. Like, you know this is fake. You don't even have to play mind games in your head when it comes from actual human beings. It's all pretend.

Kinda surprised by how much Toy Story 5 resonated with me. The trailers made it seem like yet another Woody adventure, but he was barely in the movie. Instead, it was way more focused on the children. Some of it felt a little lazy (phone bad), but the ultimate message works well.

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

Seeing a Chinese game use AI tools to help with translation is the fastest way to get booted off my steam wishlist. Not wasting my time on this bullshit when I've been burned before.
