- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 5 days ago:
It’s great that these devices finally exist. For the longest time your only option for handheld gaming was Nintendo, or maybe Sony for a short period of time, so I always went with Nintendo as a companion device to my PC.
When the Switch launched, I started wishing for a PC with that form factor, unrealistic as that was at the time. At some point in time I even got hardware-banned from anything online because I dared to install some things on it in order to transfer my save files between PC and Switch. Even lost the ability to download a game I had already bought but not yet installed.
Thankfully, around that time the Steam Deck was announced, and the only time I booted the Switch afterwards was to dump all my games and saves.

I’m almost certain it’a troll, maybe even a previously banned one. Given their username it would be very ironic otherwise, considering that, so far, in the week they created the accounyt, hey only commented to rail against things that respect user freedom.
- Comment on Trine Was a Masterpiece. Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember? 2 weeks ago:
One thing I always loved about the game was that it was not only one of the relatively few co-op games on PC, it even went as far as to support multiple sets of keyboard and mouse on a single PC. Yes, it was janky. Yes, it got cramped really fast, particularly in front of the small 4:3 LCD monitors of the time, but it was a blast anyway.

Quickly checking if you’re an actual human or just a bot I came across this comment of yours:
I have blocked 264 users, 9 communities and 4 instances and it’s made Lemmy much better for me toxicity wise. Whenever a debate gets toxic or someone starts just insulting or discussing in bad faith or I just get a bad vibe from them - I block.
Guess I’ll take your advice then.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 3 weeks ago:
Personally I use KeePassXC + Syncthing, but Bitwarden/Vaultwarden is also a great.
What’s somewhat amusing, for lack of a better word, is that even that advice doesn’t fully resolve the issue, as Troy himself recently was the victim of a phising attack, where one part of the issue was that even legitimate sites changes their sign-in domains frequently enough that you kind of become numb to when the auto-fill stops working and just “correct” the issue.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 3 weeks ago:
The problem with domains is that regular people would need to know what a domain is and what verified ownership says about the account in question.
Even then, reading domains is quite difficult, even for people who know about the topic: Humans are Bad at URLs and Fonts Don’t Matter
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 4 weeks ago:
Agree. Personally I like having something portable, so I’ve always complemented my PC with a Nintendo handheld. Thankfully, PCs can now be handhelds too, even including an open operating system.
The only time I even booted my Switch after getting the Steam Deck was to rip all my games and saves from there.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 4 weeks ago:
Yup. If anything, they should add a second USB-C connector. Much more versatile and you can still charge your phone if one of them dies.
These flaky, but simultaneously bulky headphone connectors need to die. They’re inferior in pretty much every way imaginable.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. No root login and no password login are always useful as basic measures, but after that Wireguard is perfect tool for this, no weird rituals required and also quite useful for any other services you don’t want and/or need to expose to the internet as well.
- Comment on Finally, a Linux laptop with a brilliant display and performance that rivals my MacBook (from Germany) 1 month ago:
And they switched to a resolution one that can’t even Integer-scale, and, even worse, isn’t even the correct aspect ratio.
Personally, I’ve seen a few people doing similar things, and to me it’s always an indicator that the person needs to get their eyes checked. Any person with good eye sight or well adjusted glasses should immediately notice that the text actually becomes blurrier and harder to read despite the increased text size.
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 1 month ago:
Not sure what you’re seeing there. The Bedrock edition is also available on PC and the rest is a direct quote for the reasoning why that version gets it before the Java version.
It’s not like they’re forbidden from acknowledging the existence of other devices either. It’s just not their target audience.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5 2 months ago:
Not necessarily. A good architecture could allow for crossplay between different kinds of accounts. They’re just taking the easy way out.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 6 months ago:
Yup. If it’s important enough that devs now have to add a disclaimer on the store page, surely devs shouldn’t be allowed to circumvent that by adding it later. Since SteamDeck customers are affected by this the most, it’s weird that this isn’t already a rule, particularly for games that are SteamDeck verified.
- Comment on Designed this coaster, because I wanted something tidy looking and dual color, without filament changes 6 months ago:
I’ve made similar coasters a while ago, just with a stone tile as the base. Despite having to endure hit tea every day, it’s holding up very well.
The PETG did minimally deform after months of using it, which is both good and bad. On one hand it’s now formed in a way that perfectly fits the specific cup I use, but that also means that it’s become a bad fit for every other cup or glass.
- Comment on Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down 7 months ago:
Striking YT channels, expanding their Palworld lawsuit and now this? There’s no denying that they weren’t always litigious, but they’re picking up speed at an absurd pace. Did recently they hire some of Oracles lawyers or what?
- Comment on UFO 50 is a retro gamer's dream - I highly recommend it 7 months ago:
However, that was also my experience playing games like this back in the day
Exactly my experience as well. It’s very reminiscent of that time when I was given a GBA emulator with a bunch of US and JP roms without any explanation. I didn’t know what an emulator is, or that there were game consoles other than the GBC. I didn’t knew my way around English either and Japanese looked like some sort of bug to me.
There’s just something stumbling through a big library and slowly making inroads in your favorite titles.
