- Comment on Square Enix Will 'Aggressively' Pursue Multiplatform Strategy In Company Reboot 6 days ago:
PV gaming is bigger now than it has ever been. The idea of a console exclusive these days just feels like youre leaving a fortune on the table.
This isnt the 90s anymore, people dont really need to compare libraries anymore when choosing a gaming platform(outside of Nintendo, anyway)

I had the same thought. I thought kiwis were smaller than pigeons.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey departs Bluesky board | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Honestly, with the unfathomable amount of money he was set the make from that deal, I dont blame him for doing it.
It’s a good message too, if you ignore who said it and why.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t this usually happen right about now for new-ish windows releases?
IIRC, it happend when Vista came out and people jumped back to XP, then it happened again when 8 came out and everyone jumped back to 7, and then finally again when 10 came out and people jumped back to 7 again.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 2 weeks ago:
Its especially funny that under the hood its just an android app that can run on most existing smartphones (until they blcok access, anyway)
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 2 weeks ago:
Their idea was to replace a smartphone with a device that just connects to an LLM to do all your smartphone stuff via voice control.
If that sounds like a bad idea, congrats. Youre right.
- Comment on So I played the original TimeSplitters last night 2 weeks ago:
The first game is pretty rough around the edges but pretty fun.
The sequel is a masterpiece.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 3 weeks ago:
The first release of windows 11 LTSC is supposed to be out sometime this year too.
Much like the 10 version, I expect it to have most of the bloat removed and only require a couple tweaks.

Figga please
- Comment on Smothsinian 3 weeks ago:
Those are Mini DVDs. Totally different technology.
You’re right though, Mini CDs also exist, but were much rarer.
- Comment on Smothsinian 4 weeks ago:
There is, actually.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I have only one question.
Can you move and swing your sword at the same time?
In most 2D Zelda games you can’t, and it helps with positioning so you don’t run into the enemy when you try to hit it.
Most of the 2d Zelda clones I’ve played let you move and swing at the same time and it takes some time to get used to.
- Comment on Copilot key is based on a button you probably haven’t seen since IBM’s Model M 1 month ago:
Just because F13-F24 isn’t on your keyboard, doesn’t mean those keys don’t exist.
I use F24(bound to a button on my mouse) as my push to talk key.
- Comment on Playing Super Mario World with my sister. 2 months ago:
The best 2D Mario game.
- Comment on Two of world's first desktop computers found during house clearance 2 months ago:
It depends. Electrolytic caps can leak and cause further damage to the boards, so it would be better to remove those outright, regardless of the plans.
Personally though, there is way greater value in something like this if you can show people how it worked, rather than just how it looked.
- Comment on Most authentic emulator retro gaming setup? 2 months ago:
It looks fine if you use the digital output rather than analog.
If the purity of the analog signal is important, you can run it through a retrotink or OSSC. Although that’s another expensive addition to the setup.
- Comment on Most authentic emulator retro gaming setup? 2 months ago:
If you’re looking for authenticity then I’d recommend picking up a MiSTer.
- Comment on Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo? 2 months ago:
I’ll see you at the end of Act 2 when you remember what a fucking slog Act 3 was and decide you’ve scratched the itch.
I’m now just learning of this too and intend to do the same
- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 2 months ago:
I agree that for this size of network AD is definitely not something you want to deal with unless you want to learn how it works.
However, I’m not sure it really increases attack vectors to have it running, outside of the fact that it’s a new network service on the LAN. The out of the box default configuration is not bad these days, security-wise
- Comment on Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi 3 months ago:
Correct. However, if you have a way to run a PowerShell command as an administrator, you can run a single cmdlet to get access to the bitlocker recovery key.
- Comment on Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi 3 months ago:
It should be noted that this attack was demonstrated on a nearly 10 year old laptop that has the TPM traces exposed on the motherboard.
Most TPMs nowadays are built into the CPU which does not leave them vulnerable to this type of attack.
- Comment on My Phantasy Star Online dilemma 3 months ago:
It depends on the motherboard revision.
Assuming that you are using an NTSC console, check the label for the number next to where it says “NTSC” if it’s a 0 or 1, then it can definitely play them. If it’s a 2, then it depends how early it was released. The very first run of them still could, but later revisions couldn’t.
- Comment on What would happen if you drank bleach, and then drank ammonia? 4 months ago:
Short answer is you would probably die.
Bleach and ammonia make chloramine gas which is incredibly poisonous, readily dissolves in water and is a fairly caustic acid.
- Comment on HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly 4 months ago:
I suppose that explains the difference in quality and usability
- Comment on HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly 4 months ago:
HP is still plenty serviceable as long as you’re getting HP Enterprise. The consumer stuff has been trash for almost 20 years now.
- Comment on Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage? 5 months ago:
Saying “I don’t know enough about this to comment” is an answer when asked to comment on something. Also be willing to change your mind when presented with new information. Tangentially, don’t hold it against someone when their opinions change.
- Comment on Duo out here teaching me the essentials 5 months ago:
I believe these are put in place to actually test your knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar, vs just being good at memorizing the handful of simple conversational samples.
- Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users 5 months ago:
I don’t know why they think this change is going to get anyone to switch.
5 seconds of nothing is still way better than a minute-long ad

- Comment on Grinding coffee with a splash of water reduces static electricity and makes more consistent and intense espresso: Study 5 months ago:
Lemon and coffee go surprisingly well together. There is a reason that espresso martinis are sometimes garnished with a lemon twist
