Some AI hate is performative, but I don’t care because I want AI to fail. Its like when some who I know is a bad person gets punched in the face for a petty reason.
Sure maybe getting punched in that specific moment was a bit much, but I’m not gonna defend you cuz you are an overall bad person

Having an inquisitive mind is a good thing.
Sometimes it’s fun to look at a genre, category or platform you don’t understand and investigate - surprising fun can be found!
I’m currently looking at baseball games.

If you want to criticize something, explain why you don't like it. Don't just go, "LOL! Into the trash!"
Try to not just go around shitting on stuff. There are platforms, franchises, and even entire genres of games I don't care for, but I'm not going to waste my time or anyone else's saying so.

Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

I just bought Edge #419, I wanted to read how they felt Kirby Air Riders is a 5/10:
I felt the reviewer simply didn’t like Sakurai’s devotion to one button, didn’t like the previous game and spent much of the review trying to use cooking metaphors.
