I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.
- Comment on Every place gotta have the cuck booth 2 weeks ago:
Phrased like that it begs me to ask: is that a table just for the third wheel?
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 2 weeks ago:
A sports piece of clothing or equipment is still functional with or without the flashy branding; a piece of merch however is not (especially if it’s just decorative - like a pin, a sew-on patch or something like that).

Same sentiment here - but with the exception of band t-shirts and other merchandise - where in most cases you do want to show your support for the artist.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 2 weeks ago:
I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 2 weeks ago:
Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 2 weeks ago:
Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

Wow, what a blursed name.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 3 weeks ago:
CEOs gonna CEO.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 3 weeks ago:
I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

They got us in the first half
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
I don’t have the whole context so I might be missing some things, but the whole thing looks to me like “look at how much money I have to burn and how much I don’t care”.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 1 month ago:
0.17 cents
So is that less than a cent or is it 17 cents? If it’s the former, I don’t think it’s even possible to make a transaction that small.

God makes you that?

That one’s been sitting unplayed in my library for a very long time. I guess it’s time to give it a shot.

Practical IQ test with binary result (“pass”/“fail”).
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
It’d be fine if 1) everything from Control Panel is implemented and properly working and 2) everything stays consistent (because otherwise, as other folks have mentioned, at one point written tutorials even with screenshots quickly become obsolete. I don’t see this happening any time soon. Maybe instead of that they can start encouraging people to use the command line, although even fewer settings are reachable though there.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 2 months ago:
Wow. Now I don’t want to go to the US even harder than before.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 2 months ago:
I wanna see them pay for office hours AND commute hours. In a big city you easily have 1+ hour a day irrevocably lost to commuting.

My sincerest condolences.
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
Seems promising, but also seems to be an US thing. I should’ve mentioned I’m in the EU.
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
Since at one point in the near future I’ll be shopping for a TV, is there such a thing as a good as a good quality panel TV that is dumb? I intend to hook it up to a PC or a set top box. Alternatively, is there a smart TV that can be easily bootloader unlocked and rooted without consequences (similarly to how a Pixel phone can)? I realise this is even more niche than unlocking/rooting a phone, but still, someone might have ideas.
- Comment on WITH ads? Fuckin awesome coupon, thanks! 2 months ago:
This promo aside, it’s ridiculous that people are okay with paying and still seeing ads (and to think of it, it’s been like this since the days of cable).
A free to use but ad-supported tier is totally understandable, but the way we have it today is borderline absurd.

… doing so because they believe their boss would make a problem if they don’t.
- Comment on Capacitive controls could be the cause of a spate of VW ID.4 crashes 3 months ago:
Shouldn’t automotive catch a hint from the fact that the only mainstream capacitive control devices are phones and tablets - something that you’re constantly looking at while operating?
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 3 months ago:
Synching ftw. As soon as I plug my phone into a charger, it starts syncing everything to my NAS. Even if it’s not charging, I can override the rule and force it to sync.

- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
I do too. What a joke the browser became after moving to Chromium… I remember it didn’t even have bookmarks in the first version.
On the flip side I kind of understand the decision to pull the plug - if you’ve looked at
Browser.jsand think that potentially any site might need a fix to work properly…
