- Comment on Casio made an Oura Ring alternative that's everything but smart 15 hours ago:
Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.
- Comment on In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest. 2 days ago:
I’m planning to make a “comeback” of sorts once I have better pictures to post. Until now it’s been cell phone pics, the next batch will be high res macro images with a sigma lens.

I hear you. I tried to get the ancient coins sub off the ground for months by posting elaborate pieces and links to relevant articles etc…
No engagement whatsoever. I could’ve “posted” this to a local file on my pc instead of Lemmy and it wouldn’t have made any difference.
Still not going back to Reddit though.
- Comment on Matt Gaetz !?!?! REALLY !?!?! 2 days ago:
Those underaged prozzies weren’t all that keen either.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard's impressive tresses feature '50,000 individual strands per character for over 100 hairstyles' 2 days ago:
So this is what they spent development time on rather than gameplay and story. Figures.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 3 days ago:
A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.
- Comment on Warcraft Rumble, Blizzard's first new RTS in years, will finally shed its mobile shackles and come to PC in December 3 days ago:
No thanks.
- Comment on burden of knowledge 4 days ago:
As one of the few people on the planet who has never played it, this makes it infinitely more intriguing…
- Comment on topical 1 week ago:
More specifically, my life.
- Comment on University to cut 137 academics due to $35m drop in international student enrolments 1 week ago:
Cutting admin instead of profs when?
Oh right, never. Every school needs a 100+ admin team, 15 teachers will suffice. They even buy their own materials, so no costs there.
- Comment on The midlife crisis is not universal: Study of thousands of people in rural communities shows that many do not experience a slump in well-being during their forties and fifties. 2 weeks ago:
Well fuck. Guess I’m one of the “lucky” ones.
- Comment on I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps 2 weeks ago:
The mark of the beast was fiat money and we’ve been using it for a while.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much for form I suppose, there are other ways to get those drivers.
I’ve been in a few online games with RU players and it struck me as so weird to be playing a game with someone from a nation we are basically at war with. Major WWI Xmas football vibes.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 is coming in 2025 with four player co-op - here's the announcement trailer 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. I have zero issues with actual horror games but diving into the dead zone or below the magma caves hits differently. Seeing a leviathan dive up from the abyss is… chilling, even after maby times.
The reapers I could get used to, but damn…
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 4 weeks ago:
Drew Karpyshyn really knocked that conversation out of the park. One of the very best scenes in gaming history.
See, that is why you’d want actual authors to do your game’s story for you…
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 4 weeks ago:
I would take 100 mosquito bites over one tick. One of the only creatures in nature to scare the hell out of me. And I own snakes.
- Comment on Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. 1 month ago:
It was two movies Frankensteined into one. The first half is awesome. The second, not so much.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it’s not nearly as bad or easily abused. Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.
- Comment on Alan Wake, Control developer agrees €15m convertible loan from Tencent 1 month ago:
Tencent will grow to become the anti-Steam, mark my words. They already have their grubby mitts all over devs worldwide, and every single one will live to regret it (or their players, at the very least).
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
Canceled my sub as a means of protest. I used it for research and testing purposes and 20$ wasn’t that big of a deal. But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies. Voting with our wallets may be the very last vestige of freedom we have left, since money equals speech.
I hope he gets raped by an irate Roomba with a broomstick.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 1 month ago:
I don’t often side with violent home intruders, but I wish him and his witch would’ve had their brains bashed out by that hammer guy.
- Comment on Wandersong, a game about not doing harm 1 month ago:
Fun fact: King’s Quest I, one of the very first games in the world to use graphics, had puzzles that could be solved in multiple ways. Taking a non-violent approach was the only way to max out your score however. For example, there’s a giant you can kill with a slingshot, or you can tire him out and make him fall asleep for more points.

Ancient Illyria: “Am I a joke to you?”
- Comment on If Bethesda released Skyrim today, they would have made it woke 1 month ago:
Huna dies at the hands of the Ayleids Pelinal goes on what is arguably the greatest slaughter ever perpetrated by one single being in the full history of the gd universe, culminating in not just the overthrow but freaking extinction of the Ayleid race
“They were just good friends”
- Comment on Am I The Asshole? How judging other people’s dirty laundry became the internet’s favourite pastime. 1 month ago:
It’s simply ragebait. It’s a global phenomenon but I’d say Reddit embraced it as their primary feature, even more so than gd Facebook.
I’m not immune to it either, though my brand of ragebait is more in the /collapse and /antiwork spheres.
- Comment on Mental hell 1 month ago:
Stuck on peak, please send rescue.
- Comment on YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads 1 month ago:
This already happened. People looking up CPR instructions because a loved one is dying, only to be met with three unskippable ads.
Goodbye Meemaw.
- Comment on Windows Media Player and Silverlight are losing legacy DRM services on Windows 7 and 8 1 month ago:
I suppose VLC will still work?
- Comment on Day 63 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
Those scorpions in the big empty are the worst enemies in the entire game. Always dumping entire mags into them just to whittle their hp down…
