I’ll sell @sama my ram for $100 million. Just let me know how you want to close the sale.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks it's "terrible" for people to have RAM in their computers rather than in a data center, as the scarcity of memory caused by the AI boom continues to drive up costs. bit.ly/47LJ09d
ALT OpenAI CEO Thinks It’s “Terrible” for You to Have RAM in Your Gaming PC
I hope @ARCRaidersGame (@EmbarkStudios) decides yes on this. Pretty much the only way I want to play. The game is fascinating, the AI and all the arc are fun and the game is way more fun when asshat sweats with crazy gear aren’t killing you without once saying a word.
ARC RAIDERS COULD GET A PERMANENT PvE MODE!
After more than 30 million PvE rounds during the limited-time test, Embark Studios is now evaluating whether to bring the mode back permanently.
Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal says the team is considering three possibilities:
• A relaxed PvE mode between regular raids
• A challenging mode focused on fighting ARC enemies
• A full PvE-only experience
Embark believes the game could appeal to more types of players but wants to avoid undermining its core PvPvE experience.

Well, I got to see the new Street Fighter movie and I will say... it was a lot of fun! Sure, it isn't super deep and some of the story telling is weak. But, the fights were fun, the characters were well done overall and plenty of easter eggs! I'd give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5!
Well, it finally showed up! Still need to find time to open and test it out.
Thankfully @LimitedRunGames packed it well and it showed up in good condition. Not quite a year wait… but almost 😅 #retrogaming

Fisher-Price accidentally made the ultimate gaming controller. I just unlocked it. 💀🎮
I turned a literal baby toy into a fully functional Nintendo Switch 2 controller using a Nordic nRF52840 to emulate a Switch 2 Pro Controller over Bluetooth LE.
Yes, you can actually game with this thing. 🍼🔥
The beauty of it all is we can keep doing it the way we want.
My grandpa was a linotypist… I wish he was alive to tell me how he felt when his profession became obsolete.
Recently attended an in-person handheld game console hackathon. I wrote a raycaster by hand. Someone wearing a “I ❤️ slop” tshirt saw mine and said “oh I wrote a ray caster too!”. They showed me. It was a ray *tracer* and claude did all the work. The person didn’t know basic graphics terms. They couldn’t answer basic questions about how it worked, could only talk about their prompting harness. Sad how AI is ruining the craft and community for people that actually like to program and have spent their lives getting good at it.
Weird influx today of randoms posting lies (or extreme exaggerations) about PC gaming experience.
There it is… get ready for the $1500+ PS6. Oof…
PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine.

AI (ahem) "Developers" really got me down at the weekend.
But the fight back starts right here!
After 5 years HAND CRAFTING #SuperPolygonGrandPrix, I'm not going to give up!
Your support is appreciate more than ever.
Full release date will be confirmed soon 🫶
Why can you push people in PVE @ARCRaidersGame ? Seems like an easy fix - the toxic players can’t help themselves.
That is awesome! Need to read still, I assume the Vectrex may get some help from some custom chips or something… but maybe not?

Yo @LimitedRunGames - how the heck does it take OVER A YEAR to get your preorders handled for the AVGN NES game? Just had a shipping update notification and it looks like I won’t get it until well into 2027? I ordered in 2025…
I am excited, but I know quite a few people who will likely be disappointed if it leans too far into action vs the life sim stuff Stardew had.
