- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch 1 day ago:
I would like for the people, who come up with these ideas, to dogfood their own product. Actually force them to try their own medicine. It would be a single digit percentage of acceptance then
- Comment on The Crew 2: Offline Mode Update 2 days ago:
So they CAN do something nice. Wish it didn’t come down to a gigantic lawsuit for them to do it though
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I used to be a huge fan of Fi, especially as someone who would frequently travel, as it was really cheap to use both at home and abroad.
That was all until they pulled the rug from under me and i got slapped with bills for an inactive plan.
Even Amazon with their AWS would cancel stuff if you’ve clearly not been using your instance, but these guys changed the agreement and said fuck you anyway.
Not that it matters anyway, because genocide supporters don’t deserve any clients
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 3 days ago:
One of the best games I have played in recent years. Finally scratched an itch that Gothic left me with for years
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 week ago:
Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine
- Comment on Path of Exile 2's disastrous new update reveals the core tension at the heart of its design: How do you make a game with meaningful combat when everyone just wants to blast monsters? 2 weeks ago:
Genuine question for PoE1 veterans: What is it exactly, that people want from the sequel?
With my little experience in 1, I was excited about the new gem system, and the idea of not having to deal with stacks of 20 prefixes on high-end mobs, and it seems that at least with the latter nothing has changed
- Comment on Mewgenics - Official Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Been waiting for this one for a while. Hope it ends up being fun
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 4 weeks ago:
I’ve used the unpatchable Win11 account loophole, that exploits a functionality of your pc, where you wipe your boot drive, and install NixOS on it
- Comment on BloodBorne Released 10 Years Ago Today, Fans Once Again Organize a Return to Yharnam 4 weeks ago:
I’ve pretty much come to terms that i’ll either never finish it, or will play it again on an emulator eventually. As it is now, it won’t run any better on my Slim console, and i have no intention of upgrading it
- Comment on BloodBorne Released 10 Years Ago Today, Fans Once Again Organize a Return to Yharnam 4 weeks ago:
This is the only post-DemonSouls game i haven’t finished :/ The frame drops in some areas gave me frequent headaches, so i only made it like a third way in
- Comment on Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround? 5 weeks ago:
I feel like the AI dubs are just a way to annoy people with ad blockers. Both on desktop, and my modded mobile client, any time i open a new video, the player forces my quality down to 144p, and turns on the first available dub
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
I feel like it’s just a matter of time, until they pull the rug from under lifetime subs.
But in any case, this is probably it for me. I’m not completely happy with jellyfin performance on my server, but the price hike puts me outside of what i’m willing to spend for this service. I already host it myself, and i can tunnel it myself too, if i ever decide to run it outside of my home network
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 5 weeks ago:
My GearS3 finally kicked it, after 8 years, and my other watch is even older than that, so the more premium rePebble is actually quite appealing. If i decide to get an update, i’m still debating looking at something like the Garmin Vivoactive though
- Comment on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition | Review Thread 5 weeks ago:
That’s really great to see. I’m excited to get the game when i can
- Comment on Killing Floor 3 Delayed (With no new release date) 1 month ago:
I don’t even know if i’m surprised, or just disappointed. It’s one thing to make a bad game, but it’s another thing to pick up a bad abandoned game, and actually make it even worse
- Comment on Killing Floor 3 Delayed (With no new release date) 1 month ago:
I thought 2 was already a huge downgrade from 1, however i haven’t played the game in quite some time. Didn’t know there’s still an audience for this series
- Comment on Styx: Blades of Greed | Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
I loved the first game, bought the second one on release, and havent launched it by this day. Should really catch up
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
What had happened to the people in ZAUM (or what was once that studio), is a tragedy, and a huge shame. I’m not even a cRPG/dnd person, but that game has singlehandedly opened my eyes to a whole new world. It’s easily in my top10 games of all time, and I wish we could get another one eventually
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 1 month ago:
No evidence, except for that the entire first paragraph of that page describes his exact behavior. No need to be a bootlicker
- Comment on BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News. 1 month ago:
For a second there, i’ve panicked, thinking this is about Monolith Soft. Either way, really sucks for the workers, but WB themselves can eat shit
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 month ago:
Because some people love going off headlines, and not the actual articles, and then further twist information, to promote their narrative.
They never said there will never be one. They said there won’t be yearly incremental releases, because they want a substantial performance leap. And that is something I strongly admire. Makes the customers feel more secure in their choice, and lets Valve work on new stuff in peace
- Comment on Chegg sues Google for hurting traffic with AI as it considers strategic alternatives 1 month ago:
They are mostly known for being a paid platform where you can steal finished homework, but I guess they do more than that these days. They run the Busuu language app now
- Comment on God of War trilogy remaster announcement set for March 2025 2 months ago:
Making brand new content costs a ton of money, and Sony clearly made colossal missteps in regards to that recently. With this, they’re hoping for what’s essentially free cash
- Comment on Humane (makers of the Humane AI Pin) acquired by HP: "HP Accelerates AI Software Investments to Transform the Future of Work" 2 months ago:
What a waste of money. I wouldn’t wish it to anymore more deserving, than HP
- Comment on [der8auer EN] 12VHPWR on RTX 5090 is Extremely Concerning 2 months ago:
130C on a properly connected, high quality cable, is absolutely mental
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 months ago:
No one’s said anything about hating it. For me, it’s primarily a co-op game, and if they’re not going to switch to it, it’s better for me to save the cash, and put it towards something else
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 months ago:
Unless my friends, who have put a lot of hours into both Civ 5 and 6, unanimously recommend 7 to me, I have no intention of getting it.
I’m both satisfied enough with what I already own, and not sold on the new one yet. Not to mention that it’ll inevitably be a vehicle for more dlc and expansion packs
- Comment on Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood 3 months ago:
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Fossil fuels are on the way out. The companies in possession of the resources have a vice grip over the entire planet, and they know that their time is limited. You can’t monopolize wind or the sun, and they’re afraid
- Comment on LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray players 4 months ago:
You’re misunderstanding. I’m not talking about drive space, i’m talking about the space the physical disk cases take up
- Comment on LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray players 4 months ago:
As much as I hate that this is happening, I think once you turn to digital media, it’s incredibly difficult to go back. The convenience of having your stuff at a click of a button is just too good.
That said, if you’re into movies specifically, i’d personally still go the route of buying a disk, and ripping it to your local storage, but that’s both expensive, and inconvenient in terms of space
