- Comment on Knowing that boomers had the "hate my wife/husband" humor because they were rushed to marry borderline strangers and didn't believe in therapy but can't prove it 3 days ago:
After some unfortunate interactions with older coworkers, I’ve started thinking that so many shitty aspects of our work culture exist because working men wanted an excuse to be away from their wives and children.
- Comment on Conservatives: Libz don't even know what a woman is. Also Conservatives: *constantly engage with purely synthetic creations thinking that they are women.* 1 week ago:
Maybe she’s X Æ A-12’s sister. I didn’t know Elon Musk had another daughter.
- Comment on Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue? 1 week ago:
Because it’s glorified predictive text.
- Comment on Retro yet? 1 week ago:
I was originally going to compare it to the NES, and then I realised that I needed to go back a lot further…
- Comment on Retro yet? 1 week ago:
I think 25 years is plenty long enough.
The Atari 2600 was newer when the first iPod was released than the first iPod is now.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 3 weeks ago:
It’s nice to get confirmation, though I really can’t believe it had to be said. Sign of the times, I guess.
If they release one with a headphone jack I’m 100% sold.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 3 weeks ago:
'member when Windows 10 was supposed to be the final version of Windows? I 'member.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 5 weeks ago:
While constant current sources exist, they’re very uncommon. A battery’s voltage is constant (or at least we consider it so), but the current it can supply is dependent on the load. In general, we consider current to be a result of voltage, to the extent that some teachers prefer that Ohm’s Law be written as I = V/R (rather than V=IR) to show this relationship more clearly (where I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance).
- Comment on Rayman 30th anniversary has save data bug and Ubisoft support says post launch support has ended 1 month ago:
It’s clearly a feature - the inability to save just enhances Rayman’s incredibly brutal difficulty.

I criticise Emma Stone’s plan not to sleep with me.
- Comment on Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada? 1 month ago:
…the same news that apparently isn’t reporting on it?
- Comment on > MFW wake up in a strange place in a puddle of my own piss 1 month ago:
As far as I know, they don’t - I have tried reading OP’s comment about 5 times and I have no idea what they’re talking about.
- Comment on > MFW wake up in a strange place in a puddle of my own piss 1 month ago:
Big LEGO for toddlers
- Comment on Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada? 1 month ago:
…if it wasn’t reported on, how did you hear about it in the first place?
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 1 month ago:
That’s what your tax dollars are for.
Take your entitlements - you’re entitled to them.
- Comment on Advertisements 1 month ago:
True.
- Comment on Advertisements 1 month ago:
Ads are one of the biggest vectors for malware. Even if the main reason you’re blocking them is just because they’re annoying, it’s one of the best things you can do for online safety. Also, the reason tech companies are collecting every single piece of data they can about you is to serve you more targeted ads - if every ad was blocked, data brokers would have no reason to exist.
If you’re running an OPNSense or PFSense router, put Adguard on it. If you’ve got a Raspberry Pi lying around, install Pihole on it. Stop using Chrome and install UBlock Origin on your new browser. Do your small part to make the internet a safer place, and get shown less advertising to boot.
- Comment on Video cable for Dreamcast 1 month ago:
If your CRT supports 480p, then component is probably 99.99% of the way there. Colours are technically more accurate with RGB (whether through SCART or VGA), but the difference between TV sets is going to be far bigger than the difference between component and RGB.

Make sure to check out EarlyBird’s other videos - she makes some great stuff.

- Comment on You can either get away with everything, or you can't 1 month ago:
This isn’t really relevant to the meme, but I thought I’d say this for those who need to hear it.
The middle class is made up. You either work for a living or own things for a living.
- Comment on I'd be so good at that 1 month ago:
I’m so tired of manually giving all these women orgasms, I’m going to invent a machine to do it for me.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 1 month ago:
It’s still true to within a year or two anyway.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 1 month ago:
The Xbox 360 is as old now as the NES was when it came out.
- Comment on Apprehensive 2 months ago:
Might as well die doing what you love.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
You mean to tell me that the kind of people who didn’t have to buy one at launch aren’t convinced by a library consisting almost entirely of: games they already own on Switch 1, games available for less money on other platforms, DK Bananza, and MK World?
- Comment on Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page 3 months ago:
It’s been years since I’ve used Windows at home, but I still have a Firefox installer exe hanging around on my server on the offchance I ever need to use it again. Thanks for showing me it’s no longer necessary.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 3 months ago:
Is “must make the dumbest fucking decision possible at all times” in the Mozilla CEO job description or something?
I have no CEO experience, but I’ll make stupid fucking decisions for a fifth of the salary you’re paying the current guy.

- Comment on It's kind of funny how many late 90s games had at least one drum and bass track 3 months ago:
I think Wipeout was probably the progenitor of this - the entire pitch of the game was basically “Futuristic racer set to techno bangers”, and I think a lot of other games followed suit with their soundtracks.
