The first game was pretty fun, but I don’t think it quite hit all the high notes their formula could possibly hit. I very much look forward to trying out the sequel!
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 2 months ago:
It was a Q90T bought in October of 2020. I also remembered another issue, after I replaced the TV with an LG, I started using it with a gaming laptop so my friend and I could play games on PC together. But we had nights were we spent an whole hour trying to get the TV to recognize the Laptop’s output. Sometimes it’d work, other nights it would refuse, and it got worse over time. I hate that TV with a fiery passion, it cost so much money and it was not worth it, not even close. The prior TV I had was a Sony top of the the line in 2007, and it was immaculate, lasted until 2020 when I replaced it.
- Comment on Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm - Launch Trailer 2 months ago:
Oh shit yeah! I hope it’s good, I heard this expansion was 100% made by Gearbox, and not by Hopoo, so I’m a bit worried it won’t have the same great feel of prior content.
I know that Gearbox worked directly with Hopoo on the prior expansion, but still… it’s Gearbox.
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 2 months ago:
I’ll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:
It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.
The interface wasn’t user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I’ve had.
The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.
Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it’s great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.

Being born in the 80s, I was told I was born in the nineteen hundreds. It didn’t feel great.

That’s super cool, but also more of a novelty then something you’d actually want to use to game.

Voyager was always hit or miss for me, but I always enjoyed the concept of an emergency medical hologram.

I came to ask the same question! I love technology connections!
- Comment on Space Marine 2 Devs Cancel Beta To Focus On 'Best' Possible Launch 4 months ago:
My knee jerk reaction is that the rumors I heard that the game isn’t in a good place might be more then rumors. That sucks, I was really excited for this one, I hope it turns out great.
- Comment on Awesome GZDoom shooter Selaco demo will be delisted (but you can still get it) 6 months ago:
That looks like a blast! I always have a soft spot for shooters of the 90’s and early 2000s.
- Comment on Vampire survival game V Rising 1.0 live with gamepad support (good for Steam Deck) 6 months ago:
Oh finally! I wanted to play this co-op with my best friend. He comes over, I play games on my PC, and he uses my gaming laptop. But he doesn’t play with keyboard/mouse as he’s more used to consoles. So we weren’t able to play V Rising!
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 6 months ago:
I know, my best friend and I were watching like hawks, waiting for the traditional 1 year to elapse for a US console release. Normally it’s 1 year after Japan’s release then it comes out in the US on Playstation. Then 6 months too a year later it comes out on PC. It’s wonderful it’ll come out on PC at the same time as the consoles. That way my best friend and I can play on PCs in the same room, get better FPS, and larger screens since we won’t need to split screen for local coop.
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 6 months ago:
Oh man! It’s releases on all platforms at once, even PC!!! Normally PC comes out like a year later. That’s fantastic!
- Comment on The Apple Vision Pro’s eBay prices are making me sad 6 months ago:
Some background on me, I’m a IT geek, I love technology, I love VR, not a huge fan of apple. I couldn’t understand the use case for the Vision Pro, especially given battery life and other odd little limitations. The hardware sounded absolutely amazing, some incredible features, but Apple really wanted to distance the headset from VR, and instead was pushing this weird idea that you’d just sit and use the head in an Augmented Reality style interface for their eco system. Imagine wearing this thing during your child’s first birthday in order to capture a 3d video.
It’s a shame, but it’s a solution looking for a problem. If they would have leaned hard into the incredible hardware to be a killer VR headset too, that may have helped a little bit. But as everyone else is saying… I’m not surprised by this outcome.

Up next, the Epic Augmented Reality glasses, which block you from seeing anything that might hurt your feelings, or you don’t agree with.

- Comment on AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music 7 months ago:
I think you can provide lyrics yourself, can udio generate lyrics on its own? I listened to some of the staff pick songs, and they were pretty good. I’m not musically inclined, and I have zero skill in coming up with lyrics, but stuff like this and Midjourney let me be creative in ways I don’t have natural talent in.
I bet Udio is going to loathed by musicians even harder then artists hate Midjourney.
- Comment on Tesla stops cybertruck deliveries—accelerator pedal may be to blame 7 months ago:
I read that Tesla being Tesla reinvented a ton of very standard components that other car manufacturers have been using for decades. So there are a lot of weird issues with Teslas that you wouldn’t see in a car from an established car maker. It’s Tesla ego which makes them think that they can design component better than a whole industry over decades and decades could.
When the Model S came out, I thought it was the height of cool, but I wouldn’t consider buying one of their vehicles now. I think the only reason they even kinda did well was that the rest of the car makers were slow to start making EVs that looked decent and were priced reasonably. Now that the big boys are in the game, Tesla has been dropping the price of some of their models to try and stay competitive. But their cars have always had quality assurance issues, and their support isn’t decent at all, since they try to blame customers for things outside of their control.
- Comment on Anybody have favorite Master System games? 7 months ago:
I can’t really say that Ghostbusters for the Master System was a GOOD game lol. I agree though, that map twisted my brain trying to understand the perspective the buildings were drawn in. I also only played the game with a money cheat so I could afford stuff. I think I beat the game a few times, the part at the end of having to time running past the Marshmallow Man sucked.
- Comment on Anybody have favorite Master System games? 7 months ago:
I think I got the most play time out of R-Type. Honorable mentions, Ghostbusters, Bomber Raid, Rambo, Space Harrier.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed 8 months ago:
I hope that works! I never got into digital downloads on consoles in any big way, how companies make games from the online shop inaccessible once the console goes end of life is a damn shame! It feels like the more and more consoles move toward digital only, the less we’ll have viable retro consoles in the future.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 8 months ago:
I noticed this bullshit a few days ago on my Win 11 desktop! I found if you go check the settings of the start bar, you can hide the copilot icon in the lower right, and then there’s a check box to enable the lower right hand corner to work as show desktop again. The functionality can be restore to exactly as it was, but what the hell were they thinking.
Enshitification, plain and simple.

Do we know they’re bone conducting? or is this like the head phones on the Valve Index, highly directional and focused speakers which only project sound in a very narrow band spaciously?

When I first read your reply, it sounded sarcastic, and I replied as such. But I don’t think you were being sarcastic. My apologies stranger!

I recently switched to it, and it’s night and day, it saves me a lot of time when I find exactly what I’m looking for right away. I love it!
- Comment on How Google perfected the web 10 months ago:
I started using Kagi yesterday! It was a huge shock to get great results on a search at the top. Plus having those horrible spammy “Best VPNs of 2023 on bestvpns.com” all get grouped together under a heading of “Listicles” is just perfect. I’m telling co-workers about Kagi and not a single one is interested, but I’ll keep using it damn it!

I appreciate the follow up! I’m looking into Tuta to learn more about it! It just sucks Tuta didn’t come up at all when I was researching solid alternatives to Gmail.

The only thing I haven’t found a good replacement for was how G Drive also handles Office style documents. I make use of that a lot, especially from my phone. But I agree, Proton Mail hasn’t been painful one bit.
