- Comment on I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone 5 days ago:
First, let me say I appreciate both this and your main response. I agree it is a backwards mentality.
But if I may offer some feedback on the remainder of your post: in my opinion, anyone that use words or substitutions like “M$” or “Micro$oft” or whatever immediately strike me as a person not engaging in good faith, and trying to rile others up for likes or upvotes; but not looking to engage in serious discourse.
You’re welcome to your opinion, and I might even agree with it and the sentiment behind it, but using 20 year old memes that were only leveraged by teenagers when WinXP was retired and likely never bought a Microsoft product anyway probably isn’t going to resonate.
Please do not take this as my endorsement of Microsoft — it is not — but I also want to have a meaningful discussion and not just trade memes and quotes back and forth in a big circle-jerk against “M$”.
Finally, please know my intention here is not to be mean to or humiliate you. Text doesn’t have the nuance of intonation and inflection of an in-person conversation, and this message may suffer from the same. Please feel free to message me if you’d like to discuss further outside this forum.

Crypto is just a modern-day pyramid scheme.
Some may get rich and serve as examples of why others should join, some may break even, but the vast majority of those participating will lose.
In the end, the only winning move is not to play.

- Comment on Windows Marketshare since 2010 1 week ago:
iPad + Magic Keyboard. It’s my primary device. Pretty easy when you interact with virtually everything in a browser. Plus it gets ridiculous battery life and mine has cellular connectivity.
I do still have a Windows box for gaming, but I don’t browse the web with it; it just boots into Steam Big Picture mode.

He’s going to rape them, like all the others.
- Comment on IOC calls for full reintegration of Russians to youth competitions 2 weeks ago:
Judging by the stalemate in the war and that there are shills like you advocating for a return to the status quo despite all the shit Russia has done, yes, I think it’s going as well as can be expected.
Let me be quite clear: Fuck Russia, and fuck those that would normalize and accept the war they started. If they want to be respected on an international stage, and have their children represent their country and not a neutral flag, then the path is quite easy and could be accomplished today.
Why should any other country, or the IOC, take steps to coddle the Russian children — apart from advocating for their ability to live a long life in good health? So they don’t feel bad or can ignore the shit their country is doing? Fuck that.
- Comment on IOC calls for full reintegration of Russians to youth competitions 2 weeks ago:
Alternatively, let them be pissed at their own government for their shitty acts that prevent them from competing under their own flag and not make everyone else tolerate or tiptoe around the bullshit “for the kids of Russia” excuse.
- Comment on IOC calls for full reintegration of Russians to youth competitions 2 weeks ago:
Hard no.
If Russia wishes its athletes to compete internationally under their flag, then they can get the hell out of Ukraine and stop being murderous warmonger invaders.
Sucks for the kids, yes, but so what? Sucks for the kids of Ukraine to be stuck in the middle of a war, too!

Ah, sorry, that’s not how I read it. Have a great day!
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 weeks ago:
That’s more on you than Plex, though, right? Like do you get mad at Walmart or Home Depot because you bought a tool you never use, or don’t use as frequently as you thought you would?
Not defending Plex, I’m just curious.
- Comment on Trump: I said to somebody the other day, am I better politician or construction/real estate person? They didn't know how to answer that question. I am not sure how to answer either 2 weeks ago:
Right, because he’s equally shit at both.

- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 3 weeks ago:
Because it’s a popular movie with a catchy soundtrack that has a Grammy nominated song that was number one on the Billboard Top 100? It’s not like they’re pushing an obscure art film released solely for a run at an Oscar.
Sony makes the money. Just like they did with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and countless other products of Sony Animation.

It is because she came or he didn’t?
(Yes that is a total cheap shot, but I couldn’t resist. If it’s their spouse now or something I’m going to feel bad.)

Amazing the different gaming experiences in the 90s. Of this list, I’ve only played 4 and heard of like 6. Pretty fun dive down the rabbit hole. 90s gaming was a wild time. Thanks for sharing!

Oooh — the spicy sauce is intriguing. Love some good heat. Maybe next year I should bring some hot sauce with me to throw in. :D
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 4 weeks ago:
I’d rather buy a game on Steam than get it for free from Epic. Seriously.
I claimed the first few games and their launcher was shit. Now, to be fair, Steam wasn’t exactly a pinnacle of achievement when it first came out, either, but it’s been refined and honed to a razor. Epic is just “let’s throw shit at the wall and see what happens”, with no coherent strategy or marketing beyond “we’re not Steam!”. Their client, as I understand it, is still shit, and their CEO is a jackass. Haven’t had it installed in years now. Meanwhile, I have a backlog on Steam of like 1000 games.
Why would I ever use Epic? It has no value.
And yes, that goes for games sold on Steam with the “have to use Origin” bullshit, too. I’m not launching Steam to then launch Origin. This is not Inception. Let me play my damn game and stay out of it. Ya know?
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 4 weeks ago:
If you intended it as a joke, can you please add a /s or something to indicate it is a joke, when it’s not obvious? It does not read as a joke to me, but as a serious comment. It can be difficult to understand the author’s intended tone by just reading text.
Thank you!
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 4 weeks ago:
There’s nothing wrong with buying something if you feel it is a good value, especially if you plan to keep it in the long term.
Much better than stealing from our public services.
- Comment on Perfect size for brats 4 weeks ago:
There’s a food vendor called Wunder Wurst at a fall festival I attend, and they serve their brats like this with cheese sauce. It’s really good.
Not sure I’d want to go to all the trouble with making it at home, though. Regular cut buns work just fine for me.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I’m still holding to it, but I agree, it’s getting harder and harder to find stuff on sale for less than $5. Especially if you’ve been on Steam for a long time and have a large library already.

At least they’re not hiding the white supremacy angle anymore, though that’s little consolation to the people that have the greatest need for this pathway.
