In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

404media.coChatGPT Keeps Telling People 404 Media Can Solve Their Tech Support ProblemsBecause big tech doesn't do customer service, we are being inundated with AI-generated emails begging us for help.

Replying to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social

this is happening because big tech customer support basically doesn't exist and desperate people are asking ChatGPT what to do. ChatGPT is sending them to journalists

Hyper-capitalist, gacha-tied annual sports games are a whole special circle of gaming hell all of their own.

NBA 2K25 is being delisted later this month, with servers shutting down at the end of the year. All online modes (including the single-player story mode, which is tied to online currency) will no longer be playable. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nba-2k2...

DYKG was invited to make a live quiz show for Gamescom 2026, so we pit members of @giantbomb.com, @nintendolife.com and @gvg.io against each other to see who knew gaming. Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/ELD-f3sCKDc

My recommendations? Throttled. My trending? Ineligible. My search? Blocked.

So the people launching a new Twitter under the name Twitter launched their thing so I signed up. Turns out they have an AI scanning tweets for "truth" and it currently has no idea what it's doing. Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes and he told me this is the water, and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

Excited to announce that I've set a new personal target: drinking one billion coffees per day. I know I can achieve this goal.

Big cuts, but Xbox has managed to avoid closing any studios today. Double Fine and Compulsion go indie. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will have new owners. Arkane Lyon process starts today. CEO Asha Sharma wants Xbox to reach 1bn players a day (it currently hits 1bn a year).
