- Comment on METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER - Launch Trailer 2 days ago:
I’m glad they re-made the worst entry in the early era of the series and didn’t fuck with Sons of Liberty. That game is literally perfect. MGS3 is tedious AF. Still fun and better than a lot of games, but massively overhyped. Also, worst fucking camera system in the history of gaming in the original PS2 version. Truly atrocious.
I hope it turns out well, but I still doubt that I’ll play it.

If we settle for slogans, we are going to get our private parts sucked into a toilet at 34,000 feet.”
Amazing intro.

When I run out of stuff to see on Lemmy, I touch grass. Simple as.
I feel way more in control of my online experience when endless scrolling isn’t possible.

You’re the outlier, I promise. People are literally forfeiting their brains in favor of an LLM transplant hese days.

Thanks! I’ll disconnect my Linux drive when its time to accept Microsoft’s shitty upgrade.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Do you dual boot off the same drive or have separate drives and this issue occurred anyway?

Same here. I’ve been better off ever since.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 week ago:
Sons of Liberty is the most cohesive entry in the series IMO. Best story too; prophetic, really.

I played in a Halo 2 tournament at my local theater when I was a kid. Got second place. Won a wristband 👍
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 2 weeks ago:
Hyper Light Drifter’s soundtrack is truly a masterpiece. Same guy did FEZ too; another excellent soundtrack.

Drummers covering other drummers is a very popular scene on Youtube. Check out Alex Rudinger to start and just go down the rabbit hole.
- Comment on Are you worried about your child’s screentime? Get a landline 3 weeks ago:
I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.
It’s just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

I saw last year’s North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.
- Comment on The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users. 3 weeks ago:
I’d chalk that up to the assumption that a cloud has partially or fully obscured the sun. If clouds weren’t a thing, we’d be much more sensitive to light changes as they wouldn’t be a part of our outdoor experience.
I’m not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y’know what I mean?

iHeartRadio is a cancer. They’re just consolidating everything like Ticketmaster did with venues.

Do we need to start review bombing sites that are doing this similar to how review bombs happen on Steam?

Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 1 month ago:
Personally, I’m not feeling that same vibe. I think the solidarity against the US is a very good thing, but the sheer amount of ways Canada is just “America Light” is very depressing. Its to the point that our flag has been so sullied by absolutely shit tier movements in the last 5 years that I can’t stand to see it anymore.
Every time I see a private flag pole, bumper stickers or anything kind of patriotic merch my knee jerk reaction is “I bet this dude’s a fuckwad.” I know that I’m painting with a huge and shitty brush but I just can’t even fight against it anymore. I know it’s wrong. I just don’t care, and that makes me sad.
I live comfortably here, but given even a minutely convenient reason to emigrate I think I’d take it.
Canada is a car infested, anti-human shit hole just like America. To paraphrase Steve Harris of Iron Maiden a bit "We oil the jaws of the
warcapitalist machine and feed it with ourbabiesimmigrants. - Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 month ago:
Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you’ll likely appear in the Linux users list.
- Comment on AI willing to let humans die, blackmail to avoid shutdown, report finds 1 month ago:
There’s plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it’s already ingested.

I totally understand where you’re coming from but I also understand why people like the curated experience. When I went to Mexico for the first time, I went to a resort because in that moment all I cared about was not having to care about anything, if you know what I mean.
There’s a time and a place for both styles of travel.

- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 2 months ago:
Black holes don’t just roam around looking for planets to snack on.
Don’t be so sure. There’s plenty of cases of black holes devouring entire star systems. There’s so many black holes just drifting around that you could make a case that they are just roaming around looking for their next snack.
- Comment on Is it wrong or uncommon to judge people primarily on their worst moments/acts? 2 months ago:
If I saw anyone harm any animal intentionally outside of self-defence, that’s an instant and permanent write off. I’d literally take any opportunity to talk shit about said person beating animals and would take pride in beating their ass if the moment was right.
Anyone hurting animals gets a big ol’ irrevocable “fuck you” from me.
There’s like 8 billion people on this planet you can be friends with. Don’t roll with or enable abusers.
