Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me

Personally, I am push it back. I've enjoyed the Nintendo approach of not pushing power, I think development companies really need focus on optimizing development time and shorten life cycles between games. We used to get 2 or 3 games in a franchise on a single console. Now we get 1....2 if we are extremely lucky. Putting out a new console shifts the focus from optimizing current development cycle back to how develop for new console.

Re: Microsoft CEO Really Wants You to Stop Calling Generative AI 'Slop'

The word “slop” goes back centuries, originally referring to the watery leftovers ladled out to livestock or the thin, unimpressive meals served to sailors. Over time, it stretched into a catch-all for anything messy, careless, or beneath proper standards. Linguists argue about its exact evolution, but they all agree on one thing: slop endures. It’s a reminder of loose edges, of the stuff we’d rather not think about but still somehow defines us.

And in a way — though no scholar would dare admit this — slop should help us never forget. Not history, not language, but the SummerSlam Hell in a Cell match between Mankind and The Undertaker. Yes, that one. The match where Mick Foley fell from the top of the cage like gravity suddenly realized it had paperwork to catch up on. Where the chair followed him down as if it, too, had something to prove. Where a tooth ended up in his nose and everyone watching collectively questioned the fragility of the human body. There’s no logical bridge between etymology and that moment… but somehow, deep down, you know there never needed to be.
