- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 3 days ago:
Maybe you’re just not the type of person for that type of game. I’ve spent lots of hours playing it with m girlfriend. Sometimes it’s fun, often it’s frustrating and I just can’t be motivated to try and improve my efficiency to get that third or fourth star in many of the levels. It’s fine that way.

You’re right, they wouldn’t. But maybe they can be convinced with burning pitchforks.
- Comment on Automatic Fire Extinguisher for 3D Printer Cabinet 1 month ago:
I run my printer through a Shelly. That way, I can observe prints remotely (webcam) and kill the power, should software shutdown fail. My Shelly is also set up so that the machine cannot exceed what the PSU is rated at. That would probably not be a good enough measure for a runaway (and melting) hot end once that has started a fire, but I feel pretty calm about the thing printing while I’m at work. I check the camera every half hour or so for print issues or worse.
- Comment on In case some of y'all are still looking for a job 1 month ago:
I recently watched a great documentary about the Yakuza (on Arte) and apparently that ritual is increasingly considered old-fashioned among the Yakuza, or what’s left of them.
- Comment on Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID 1 month ago:
It works just the same in Germany. People usually show up with their voter notification letter that has their name, address and voter number on it. Unless 20 year old Janine shows up with the letter sent to 87 year old Hans, it is assumed that everything is in order. Her name will be crossed off the list and the letter of notification will be withheld, because it helps the volunteers with counting later on (think “We have 875 vote slips in the ballot box; do we also have the corresponding 875 letter that people left?”).
That said, people can also show up without the letter and present their ID card (Personalausweis) or passport. That isn’t strictly required, however. Both voter notification and official ID are fine on their own.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck turns into world's most expensive brick after car wash 2 months ago:
While that explanation of yours is helpful and comprehensible, the whole thing seems stupid to me. But then again, my 1999 Golf has none of those features and I wouldn’t want them either.

Rush? Don’t think so, no. I know about Brian May (Queen) and Greg Grafton (Bad Religion).

So what are you doing with it that makes you prefer not to be noticed?

- Comment on Guard of the Awwderworld 4 months ago:
Of we’re gonna be smartasses in this comment section, the proper spelling is Dachshund. “Dachs” is German for badger, Hund is German for, well, dog.
- Comment on Guard of the Awwderworld 4 months ago:
Sure looks like it.
- Comment on Viggo Mortensen has be in The Road, On the Road, and about a dozen road genre movies. 4 months ago:
First movie I saw him in was the 1996 TV remake of Vanishing Point. Pretty much a road movie.
- Comment on It takes a village 4 months ago:
I’m confused as well. I assume that the suggestion is not to poison the child, but what is it?
- Comment on do you think it's worth to update an old CR-10s? 5 months ago:
Sure, but the way you said it sounded like “I barely made an changes” while you in fact did ;)

Only changes I’ve made

Steam gets something to the tune of 30 % as their fee.

Amen, comrade.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 6 months ago:
Sounds exactly like something Rockstar would write. Kinda predictable, kinda “been there, done that”.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 7 months ago:
I like the franchise because I’m into history. I was really looking forward to Mirage after the grindfests that were Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, but need like this make me consider not even waiting until Mirage is 50% off at some point.

They came like that from the factory. This one’s base colour is yellow, and for every other colour you see on it, there was another corresponding car. They probably built and painted several unicolor vehicles and then took them apart to mix and match.

In the motherland, they only sold the Harlekin Polo. I always liked the silly idea and am glad that after 20 years of white, silver and black cars on the streets, some colours have finally returned.

Can you provide a source?

Bologna is just a city in Italy.
- Comment on I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal 9 months ago:
I’d like to disagree. Even if you disregard all the bugs I had and content/features that was promised and never included, CP 2077 was maybe a good game in 2020. I didn’t think it was great by any means.
- Comment on Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel 9 months ago:
They probably can, but it’s still immoral and unethical.
- Comment on BMW 10 months ago:
Hitler was not “behind” the development. You make it sound like he was the lead designer, accountant and test driver. He said “I want you to develop a car that will seat four, reach 110 km/h and cost a maximum of 1000 Reichsmark”.
