Lots of understandable doom and gloom in the comments, but from the FAQ it really does not seem like the current iteration we know today will be super different down the line. Yes, yes, take Nexus Mods' word with a mountain of salt, but it really does seem to be helping Nexus Mods' backend more, and having affiliate links seems to be the least intrusive method to make the site money. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I saw it on twitter as well! Mostly voice lines of GladOS telling player 1 that player 2 wasn't doing as good as them, with the idea she'd tell each player that lol.

No Man's Sky. Take advantage of the custom game rules to tweak to your preferred gameplay. Personally, I skip all the tutorial stuff and boost resources as I like flying around/upgrading my ship more than the core gameplay loop.

I'm sure Rockstar is quaking in their boots at the prospect of another 30 minutes of basketball footage being released. Why do these "leaks" never have substantial info on the missions or story?

I will honestly be surprised if we see any tangible relief sooner than 2028, and we're talking late 2028 imo.

Interesting quote at the bottom of the article:

A 2023 study found that 11% of U.S. adults (roughly 23 million) pirated content in the previous year. The NFL says it does not track illegal viewership of its games, though the league believes that new legal avenues to consume its broadcasts—such as direct-to-consumer streaming services, in addition to traditional TV packages—are lowering the reliance on unauthorized methods.

I can't decide if 11% is higher or lower than I expected, but also insightful that the NFL in particular doesn't seem to think this affects their bottom line much? Hard to believe since a sports streaming package can easily be triple digits and only go up year after year.

All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.

Here's a link to the study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10491. TL;DR, they ran tests on various LLMs with different personalities based on sex, ethnicity, migrant type, and other (human, AI, etc) and posed a question followed by multiple choice answers and tallied the results.

The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.

Uh huh. You'd be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it's gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the "oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren't going to retain wasn't properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it" event happens.

I understand the convenience, but I don't like it. All my data is on someone else's computer, and I have to enable activity trackers for the privilege of accessing my data? Heck nah.

getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested

Ah, bummer, but I'm glad a project like this exists and is getting some new life breathed into it. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the toolbar at the top but I'm sure ricing will be fun on a platform like this.
