@davidgerard Yahoo Mail recently replaced email subjects with AI summaries. Caused total chaos at my startup which runs online sneaker launches. I got paged over the weekend when thousands of people were told they'd "won" a sneaker raffle connected to NBA All Start Weekend.

Awful to think how it could affect people getting emails about medical test , job applications, etc.

I wrote up the story of how we figured out what was happening here: https://eql.com/media/sneaker-bot-ai-error

Fellow nonhumans and otherkin as well as therians on fedi who have not art of a oc but rather yourself (how you truly am)

Do you get uncomfortable when you are getting art of yourself and the artist refers to you as a character

(Asking because of representation through a poll)

PSA for anyone with an #Amazon #Kindle or even just any #kindlebooks , they are about to permanently remove the ability to download books to your computer. Your last day to use this functionality is February 26, 2025, so you have about a week. There are no easy ways to grab it all at once, but it's worth it to me to be able to access my 500+ #ebooks so I'm clicking on them one by one anyway. Amazon has been very quiet about it, so spread the word.

Upcoming stream!
Thursday, 9pm-10pm (London, UK, time)!

Iiiiiit's Thursday! Probably a nice chill sesssion this week. A nice glass of wine and focussing on the fundimentals :)

Happy Transmasc awareness day!

This one is for all y'all trans men out there, who are doing kick-ass stuff, and being cool as hell

So I looked at the top 100 best rated games released on Steam during 2024, and I saw some interesting trends.

First, only two games were AAA titles. They were Black Myth: Wukong and SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS. And even then, I’m being a little bit charitable by calling the latter title an AAA game.

As for everything else? Budget title indies. Most titles were priced under $30. And 22 of them were free – not “free with in-app purchases”, but simply free.

The other trend is that few of these games got press attention even though, in a lot of cases, they had a large playerbase.

Case in point: the highest rated game on Steam is MiSide which has a 97% positive rating based on 87,019 reviews. I checked news archives and MiSide hardly got any mentions from the gaming press. No mentions on GameSpot, IGN, or PC Gamer. How did gaming journalists miss out on the highest rated game of 2024?

But the most surprising trend is that the bulk of the 100 highest rated games on Steam are PC exclusives. As much as people say we are living in a post-platform world this is simply not the case. For instance, only 2 of the top 10 Steam games of 2024 got a multi-platform release – Balatro and Black Myth: Wukong.

You would think a beloved game like Satisfactory would already arrive on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, but after six years of development, it is still PC-only. Now to be fair, Satisfactory is supposed to arrive on consoles. But that game has been on Early Access for PC since 2019 – and there’s no firm release date for console versions.

There are three takeaways here is simple: price does not indicate quality, don’t believe the hype, and exclusives still matter.
