- Comment on Anyone else avoiding gaming consoles past 8th gen? 4 days ago:
My last console was a Wii because that had games I couldn’t get on PC. Xbox and PS were always just too similar.
Didn’t see a reason to get a Wii U and with the Switch Nintendo had joined the pay for multiplayer crowd. Plus the Switch controllers were too small for my hands.
- Comment on [Discussion] What has the best romance in non-romance-focused anime? 1 week ago:
I’d say Dragonball Z Abridged. It fixed Android 18 and Krillin’s romance and really elevated it to the next level. Where in the original it basically comes out of nowhere it is super wholesome and believable in Abridged.
- Comment on Why are official subs so awful, they can't even be bothered to translate character names? (Chainsmoker Cat)) 1 week ago:
Lack of love by whoever paid for the translation.
- Comment on What is the oldest gaming console you still have that is operational? 1 week ago:
I have a Gameboy lying around here somewhere. I played it not too long ago.
- Comment on Is there a self-hosted Family Link server? 2 weeks ago:
Last time I tried it all the actually useful stuff was locked behind a pay wall. Plus you have to wipe your phone to install it.
- Comment on Thief: The Dark Project Remastered from Nightdive gets a new trailer 2 weeks ago:
Wanted to replay it the other day on my Steam Deck. Couldn’t be bothered to set up a good control scheme so I just decided to wait for the remaster. Hope it won’t be too expensive.
- Comment on Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, the point is to encrypt the traffic and tell you what you are receiving really comes from example.com and not an evil third party.
- Comment on Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? 2 weeks ago:
Usually they make money with extended certificates where they not only offer a certificate for example.com but also certify that it belongs to Example Ltd.
Those extended certificates used to show the company name next to address bars, but I don’t think browsers do that anymore.
- Comment on "I'm a massive fan of Aliens, but it is a very different beast": Why Creative Assembly are still ignoring every movie but the original in Alien Isolation 2, despite heading planetside 4 weeks ago:
Aliens takes place about seventy years or so after their games. Referencing that wouldn’t make sense. Apart from the tonal discrepancy.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3's Mizora becomes a fully-fledged companion thanks to a new mod, just in case you fancy adding a calculating cambion to your crew 4 weeks ago:
Maybe they repurposed some Lohse lines from Divinity Original Sin 2. Same actress.
- Comment on You always nobath if you've got no bath 4 weeks ago:
Username checks out.
- Comment on Nvidia DLSS 5 releases this week with NBA 2K27, so the AI yassification filter's busy beautifying basketballers early doors 5 weeks ago:
Those different results by LLMs are due to a randomness setting they specifically add. When you control it yourself you can remove it and always get the same output for the same input.
Of course, the different video game frames are all new inputs every time. They will probably have tried to get consistent results but I doubt it will work perfectly all the time.
- Comment on Lossless Scaling Frame Generation on Linux lsfg-vk moves away from GitHub, changes license due to AI slop forks 5 weeks ago:
Is Factorio even GPU bound on anything but a potato?
- Comment on Does anyone remember the name of this, I believe, SNES or Original Playstation RPG game? 1 month ago:
In Baldur’s Gate PCs would wait in a tavern that was in a tower where you could also rent rooms to rest. The location acted as a central hub. That was on PC, though.
Didn’t play BG2 but I heard you can get your own castle in that one. Maybe PCs would wait there.

- Comment on Discord have yet to receive a GTA 6 leak subpoena from Take Two, says marketing director, but they will "evaluate the validity and scope" if they do 1 month ago:
Hmm
- Comment on Gunstoppable is vibrant, fast and full of explosive wall-running action 1 month ago:
Anyone with a guesstimate?
- Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale? 1 month ago:
Port forward your SSH-server. You can forward ports through SSH to access web services or others running on the server or anything else in the network.
But only allow access through keys. And maybe try to use a different port than 22. That usually gets hammered a lot, trying to find accounts with weak passwords.
- Comment on A playable build of GTA 6 appears to have leaked, as Rockstar and Take-Two scramble to take down videos 1 month ago:
Ok, I didn’t care for the video leaks. But this is hilarious.
- Comment on "POSSIBLE DATA LOSS" (Excel reports, when you save a CSV) 1 month ago:
At my job IT would regularly advise employees to open “CSV” files with Libre Office because it nicely asks you upfront how it should be handled. With sane defaults and easy to understand adjustments.
Excel just assumes stuff and fuck you, if you think otherwise. I think theoretically you can get Excel to import CSVs created under different standards but it’s burried somewhere in submenus. And good luck if the file has different encoding than your OS.
- Comment on Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV 1 month ago:
Been a while since I did this. But isn’t there a YouTube plugin for Kodi anymore? Back then I would send videos from my phone to Kodi using Yatse.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are your anti-comfort anime? 1 month ago:
I want to watch Attack on Titan. But I suspect it will not be comfortable for me. I never feel like watching crazy giants eating people.
And if it actually is more comfortable than the premise suggests I’m not sure I actually want to watch it.
But I guess until I actually watch it it will remain in a superposition.

Maybe Polaris is what you’re looking for. It’s meant for game streaming. But of course you can stream whatever you want.
- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 1 month ago:
And now they don’t have to jump through those hoops anymore.
- Comment on The LULULOOK Gaming Pillow for Steam Deck is the ultimate way to be lazy 1 month ago:
I’m just fat. Solves the same problem.
- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 1 month ago:
Old games are still being played. Might as well play them uncensored.
- Comment on XBOX PC and Game Pass coming to Linux with the 'Xodus' project 1 month ago:
It’s an unofficial project. Not by Microsoft. They won’t lock down anything.
- Comment on GOG have a great sale on shooters going on 1 month ago:
Still waiting for the Dark Forces Remaster to go below 10 €.
- Comment on Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games 1 month ago:
Honestly, still not how I was hoping.
