- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 1 day ago:
There was a huge PSU price hike in the early 2020s… They’ve since come down, but I did snag a Corsair 1KW Platinum for like 130USD on a sick sale back then JUST IN CASE.

It’s impressively bad.
- Comment on Digital Foundry: Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar is a Motion Clarity Revelation 1 week ago:
I agree, but it sounds like this tech requires actual special hardware to pull off, rather than just a chip to say “you’ve got the right brand of video card,” which is always what G-Sync felt like (and is.)

- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 3 weeks ago:
Oh my gawd it’s best thing. Hospital was insane but very interesting and by the time I got home I was feeling pretty awesome… my boss told me to not think about work and that he set me up for a leave of absence I still get paid for with HR. I’m treasuring every day.

- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 3 weeks ago:
Oh dear… I was in hospital a few weeks ago and I’ve been recovering at home. In the last two weeks I’ve manly played three games: 64 hours in the first, 50 hours in the second, and 10 hours in the third (that one was all in one day)
I’d never use a thing like GeForce Now either way, but I’d be boned hahaha

- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 4 weeks ago:
Supporting giant evil DOES sometimes get you free stuff… I know folks who have accidentally been shipped multiple of what they’re ordering (in two cases, the items were quite expensive) and when they’ve brought it up, they were told to keep the extras.
Maybe not worth the evil, but hey, free stuff is cool.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 4 weeks ago:
I love my iPhone, I’ve been using them for like 12 years (I loved Android but switched when physical keyboards stopped exiting cuz I liked iOS’s keyboard a lot, then fell in love with most of the rest of the OS and how long I could keep my phone for before replacing.)
The one thing I absolute hate is the App Store. It’s insane. It’s so counter to the rest of Apple’s “simple stuff that works” … “ethos”. I use VERY few apps, I only have a couple installed on my phone. Say I want one, though. I open the App Store right now. Main page it dumps me on: 75% of the screen is a Tinder ad (I’ve never used a dating app and I’ve been with my partner for 15 years.) The rest of the screen space below that is a Google Gemini ad (I don’t use any Google products or services anymore, wtf Apple?)
I click on the “Games” tab below and it’s an EXTREMELY busy, loud, colorful assault on my senses. Absolutely not! The “Apps” tab isn’t any better, huge ads take up 50% of the screen and below that, GET TIKTOK AND TINDER. Uhhhh no, never.
Okay, let’s go to search. Click, and it gives me a search box at the bottom with some suggested apps and games I might like. I can appreciate that Apple’s data collection is allegedly a lot lighter than other companies, because none of the suggested shit is anything I would ever touch in my life. Let’s download one of the very few games I have on my phone: Ascension, a deck building game. I type “ascension game” and the first result is an AD FOR A WEIRD MEDICAL APP THAT DOESN’T SAY ASCENSION ANYWHERE AND HAS 70 REVIEWS WHYYYYY?!
An absolute mess compared to the mostly great layouts of their other programs on the iPhone. I do not love the latest iPhoto UI change but I can deal with that. The App Store is fucked.

Almost 40, 20 point gang
I’ve used heaps of typewriters. My mum had an antique one when I was growing up that still worked and I loved it.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 5 weeks ago:
Uh … yeah, it’s his livelihood. He writes books on programming with Apple machines. Of course he’s still going to do the things he’s been doing his whole life.

I’m four friends (three best friends at various points in life) and five or six acquaintances down, and I’m not 40 yet. I’ll have to agree with you.

- Comment on What are your favourite ps2 multiplayer games? 1 month ago:
Return to Arms was everything Norrath was, better! It totally still holds up today! Tons of QoL improvements, especially when you have 3-4 people trying to use the store at the same time hahaha. I loved being able to easily switch from shield to throwing weapon, too.
- Comment on What are your favourite ps2 multiplayer games? 1 month ago:
Champions of Norrath and Champions: Return to Arms were fucking STELLAR for local co-op. I never see them mentioned. I should bust out my PS2 and go through a run of each with my partner.
