- Comment on Is Pixel 9 worth it? (instead of Pixel 8) 1 month ago:
The only thing you’re really getting with the 9 over the 8 is better hardware design. Personally I miss the full visor, but not enough to look over the 9. If hardware doesn’t really matter as much to you the 8 is cheaper and will most likely reach feature parity with the 9.

- Comment on Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? 2 months ago:
Kind of. I’ve never bothered with them myself because it requires constant use and is kind of more trouble than it’s worth.

Every time I see something like this I’m reminding that pedophiles tried to rebrand as MAPs. Thankfully it didn’t really work.

I don’t know about relatable, but it does speak to Ben’s personality that so many people thought this was real.

- Comment on History is written by the victors 4 months ago:
What’s that quote? History is written by the winners. Yeah, something like that. Not to say the alternative would have been better, but bad historians will always leave out the worst parts of a country’s history.
- Comment on Palworld devs heard “nothing at all” from Pokémon creators despite everyone calling it 'Pokémon with guns' 4 months ago:
People are still calling it a Pokemon clone even though only like 10% of the gameplay involves catching Pals. It’s closer to being a survival game with a dash of “Pokemon at home” than anything else.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 mod update will be Larian’s ‘final handover’ to players 5 months ago:
“Screwed them over” may have been a bit strong, but as you mentioned WotC laid off a bunch of devs. The important part is that they were devs who worked directly with Larian on BG3. This is more likely than not also the reason Larian halted work on BG3 DLC. The public statement was that they lost their motivation, but it’s no coincidence that the DLC was cancelled very close to the payoff announcement. There are also the backhanded remarks that Swen has made about WotC watching him. It really sounds like Wizards is trying to control the narrative and make it look like the parting was amicable.

It’s just unfortunate that Larian will most likely not be doing BG4 if there is one. Corporate greed ruined it for everyone again.

Wallpaper Engine 4 was a greedy cash grab full of micro transactions and bugs.
- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 10 months ago:
I think this is actually a good thing. In a perfect world exclusives wouldn’t exist and you would buy things based on their own merits. Having to buy something you don’t want because you fear missing out on a game is a horrible experience. In fact I stopped caring because I got so tired of possibly missing out on a game. It has worked out great for me this generation.

Not like this.
- Comment on Science bro beatdown 10 months ago:
Science is fallible though. Everyone would do themselves a service to remember that. A scientific fact is the best answer we have with the available information we have at the moment. That is the beauty of science, it’s willing to change if better evidence presents itself.

I never appreciated Bowie when I was younger, but as I grew older he became one of my favorite artists. Unfortunately, by that time he had largely stepped back from performing, and later it would come out that the reason was that he had cancer. Blackstar is an amazing album but I can’t listen to it often because of how emotional I get.
- Comment on Co-op horror game Lethal Company is Steam’s latest viral hit as it overtakes Ark, Rust and Dead by Daylight 11 months ago:
I’ve seen a lot of people playing it. A lot of the fun seems to be in how you can screw people over and get them killed at the cost of your money. I think the concept is good, but the real question is whether they can keep long term development going. There is plenty to do now, to be clear.
- Comment on lemmy.ml 1 year ago:
This is probably the only time I will agree with the “both sides” take on this. My view on this is that it doesn’t mean I agree with killing innocents though. People at the top doing terrible things is no reason to condemn a whole people who very likely had little say in the matter.
- Comment on Truth 1 year ago:
It definitely ignores the nuance of the situation, that’s for sure. In some cases it’s not even nuance.
- Comment on Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11 1 year ago:
You really think Windows 10 has less tracking? This is the thing that bothers me the most in general. People are quick to just accept what they think is the popular view of something without experiencing it for themselves. Especially in the day and age of social media people just say things are bad because someone they know watched a video that says it was bad.
Literally, this whole Windows 11 is bad thing started because some tech content creators pointed out that every other version of Windows is bad (which isn’t even strictly true) and everyone just agreed with them because they “know what they are talking about”. I hold on love for Microsoft, but I also hold no love for Google and Apple because they are corporations and that means you should trust them as far as you can throw them. Windows 11 wasn’t even great in the beginning, but I wanted to give it a shot because I wanted the full experience. I wanted to know what I was talking about when I told people not to upgrade. As of right now the general public (e.g. not a bunch of Linux nerds on the Fediverse) are probably fine to use 11. Would I tell people to go out of their way to upgrade? Fuck no. But if a new computer comes with 11 pre-installed they probably wouldn’t even notice beyond the taskbar placement.

It is also a constantly moving goalpost that our body never quite figures out. Some days 7 hours of sleep is fine, others you need 10, and your body is really bad at telling you which days need certain amounts of rest.

Create a video of someone using a jackhammer so stupidly wrong you want to do it yourself just to show how easy it is.
- Comment on “Yeah, they’re gone”: Musk confirms cuts to X’s election integrity team — “‘Election Integrity’ Team.. was undermining election integrity,” Musk writes 1 year ago:
There never was intelligent conversation. People mostly used Twitter to talk about the news. Twitter has gotten worse, but it’s always been full of L takes.
- Comment on Open for discussion 1 year ago:
Yeah, but you can pay a pittance to remove the ads. It’s a one time fee of 3.50. Granted it’s still proprietary, but I chalk that up to the dev not knowing a lot about FOSS. Both the Sync and Boost devs came from developing Reddit apps and you need more cash flow to pay the proprietary API.
- Comment on Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN 1 year ago:
Here’s my hot take, I agree, but publishers need to increase pay to developers before I will accept a price hike. Until then I am waiting for that discount like I always do.
- Comment on Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes 1 year ago:
Talk about blowing shit out of proportion. People need to realize that making death threats is a good way to make the bad guys look like the good guys.
