@Pirat_Nation There are way too many apps that unnecessarily need access to the internet, and the normalisation of it is a big problem.

@ScotlandsBxst Privacy is very important.

Substack looks to be nice enough. There are some interesting and unique views on there, but does it pay enough for a livelihood? That part's a bit unclear.

If you don't mind me asking, do you mean trying substack as a user or a creator?

Reddit's adding an AI moderator.

Maybe it'll go better than YouTube's version, which started banning quality channels like Kurzgesagt for copying AI slop content... Slop content that was made in the first place by copying said quality channels.

@Pirat_Nation They really should focus on bringing back the old Halo magic, the latest ones leave a lot to be desired.

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@GazingAtMayMay @Pirat_Nation The one where their latest games are all god awful. :/

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@ScotlandsBxst You haven't missed much. Old reddit is still the way to go, new one has gotten plenty of complaints that Reddit is trying to be something it's not.

When did you last check it out?

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@Pirat_Nation The AI additions have been surprisingly good so far. Let's see how far Reddit can take it before adding unwanted "helpful" features.

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

It's a stopgap measure at best. Maybe it'll help with some crashing issues.

NVIDIA is reportedly working on a feature that could let future GeForce GPUs use an SSD as extra VRAM.

When a graphics card runs out of VRAM, it could use data stored on a fast NVMe SSD instead.

Your SSD won’t be as fast as real VRAM, but it could help when a game or AI app needs more memory than your graphics card has.
That could mean fewer stutters and better performance in some situations.

The feature is reportedly based on RTX IO and Microsoft’s DirectStorage technology.

@francewitch Great song.

Also have a safe flight.

We need more news like this. If Microsoft does it right, it can help people who aren't in the emulation scene get some real good gems running.

The next Xbox console will reportedly support all five generations of Xbox games, per a leaked memo

It also reveals Microsoft's pitch to publishers to bring classic titles back

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@Dexerto A very good move, the previous gens had some excellent games that would've been lost otherwise.

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@anupamrjp @wtf_nakul7 Their support is pretty solid too.

Going dark never bodes well for a multiplayer game, now does it?

Snowbreak: Containment Zone revenue collapsed and generated estimated less than $5,000 in mobile revenue in July 2026

The game was earning around $1 million per month before going offline for 66 days earlier this year due to a controversy over a collaboration with China Post and increasing scrutiny over the game’s fanservice content.

After returning, the game also introduced censorship changes to some character outfits and content to comply with regulations.

@Pirat_Nation The UK is apparently very determined to be your friend, that must be why they want all of your private data.

Gaming used to be an affordable hobby, and gamers were an important source of support for the industry.

Is enough being done to keep it that way?

Gaming hardware is getting a lot more expensive, with prices already up 16% in the first half of 2026 due to AI

According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the average price of gaming hardware in the US rose from $452 in January to $525 in June.

Samsung says demand for AI hardware will keep growing, with the AI memory market expected to grow by around 30% in 2027.

@mrknossig @DoesItPlay1 Nobody should be trusted to be the sole steward here.

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

@WindowsLatest Soon it will be bots scrapping data from other bots, what a world.

[Neromabene @Neromabene]

If confirmed, it's a revolutionary idea; charging people for what they already own.

Xbox leaker eXtas1s claims to have obtained a leaked Microsoft roadmap outlining a new Disc-to-Digital program and expanded backward compatibility plans.

According to the alleged roadmap:

>July 2026: Disc-to-Digital Insider Public Beta begins, along with early access to original Xbox backward compatibility.

>August 2026: The Disc-to-Digital program rolls out to all Xbox One and Xbox Series X owners.

>October 2026: Original Xbox games launch on PC through Game Pass and the Xbox Store.

>2027–2028: Xbox 360 games are gradually added to future Xbox devices.

He believes the wording suggests publishers could charge players to convert physical games into digital copies,

@Pirat_Nation Nintendo might be the only one disappointed by Palworld's expansion to anything.
