This is why. Not because your phone is listening to you.
- Comment on heat your body, not your house -- using an infrared heat lamp 17 hours ago:
I work from home and my office is in a basement with no heating or air conditioning. I use an electric radiating heater under the desk so that the heater is pretty close to my body. Yes, it does end up heating the room, but being close to it helps take the chill off. And it is only 700 watts max.
Of course I still have to wear warm clothes.
In previous years, I really struggled with my feet. But I recently bought a heated foot pocket thing, and I love it.
Now when it gets extremely cold outside I only have minor issues with my fingers and nose getting cold. Still not perfect, but close.

Caves of Qud. I was playing it when the clock hit midnight because I lost track of time.
- Comment on What's next after Pentiment? 4 days ago:
Not to mention the most viscerally satisfying puzzles in a game. And also a wonderful ambient soundtrack.
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 1 week ago:
The 1.0 update has a new UI.
I picked it up for the release and I’m thoroughly addicted.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 months ago:
The US has a left lean (“left” by US standards). What I mean by that is it’s not an even split. The majority of Americans lean left. The only reasons the right has any power in this country is due to the first past the post voting system, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the electoral college.

Either you’re lying, or you’re being pedantic. I mean fiat currency in general.

Uhuh…would you take Monero if it could never be exchanged for dollars?
- Comment on Seriously good cold-climate heat pumps are headed to the US market 2 months ago:
I’m in PA and it doesn’t get nearly as cold here, of course. We got mini splits in 2022 that can do -33f, I think. No resistive backup for us.
Mini splits are so, so nice.

Valve have done scummy things, too. But I’m not going to pretend that somehow they’re both equally bad.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 2 months ago:
I’m never giving the company that made billions exploiting the FOMO of children my money. I won’t install the launcher. I don’t didn’t need their free games.
I don’t didn’t care if they can throw their massive pile of Fortnite cash around to give developers more money.

The problem is how little he pays his staff.
- Comment on this was my favorite game! 4 months ago:
My grandmother had the “turbo” version of #2 for some reason. It’s the only one I’ve ever played, but I loved it. The actual gameplay wasn’t great, but the graphics, sounds, and story all blew me away at that time. It was so futuristic and cool.
- Comment on What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments 4 months ago:
That game was so futuristic. It was nuts.
Back then, the camera didn’t feel as shitty as it does today. It was all so fresh and new.
- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 4 months ago:
Buying a 3d printer and learning CAD is unlocking a super power. You can put something from your brain into the real world. It’s great for hyper specific parts.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 5 months ago:
Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.
Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.

- Comment on Valve rumored to be working on Android emulator for Steam 5 months ago:
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn’t get terribly far with it.

The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn’t have switched if not for Valve.

Literally the definition of the word.
- Comment on How’s the progress of (insert retro game title) going? 5 months ago:
seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking.
If a version update to Proton breaks your game, you can always specify the previous version.
