- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 4 weeks ago:
While oat milk is relatively new, almond milk and soya milk are older than the legal protections the milk industry is trying to use. Almond milk has been almond milk for near enough a thousand years, soya milk is close to twice as old. Basically the word milk hasn’t referred exclusively to mammal milk for as long as the word milk has existed.
- Comment on Dormant Assets Scheme: Allocating £350 million for England 1 month ago:
They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It’s doing diddly squat.
- Comment on Steam's Halloween Sale is here with some frightful deals 2 months ago:
If you haven’t played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It’s a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

I just got myself an Analogue Pocket to play GB and GBA games I missed over the years, but realise I can also play some of these fan made new releases. Are there any others that anyone can recommend?
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 2 months ago:
Don’t forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.
- Comment on “Extreme” Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says 2 months ago:
I used to work for a major telecoms compass until recently, working on their VMWare stack and to say they are a major customer of VMWare is to put it mildly. The cost for VMWare has skyrocketed after the Broadcom deal, so while the team were gearing up for the next gen system utilising more tools from the ESXi stack, now that’s entirely abandoned and instead they’re tooling up to replace it. That’s over 500,000 VMs across a dozen or so datacenters. Broadcom’s actions may make them a lot of money in the next few years as their customers are forced to pay this huge hike, but it won’t last for long.

Moguri mod works great on the Steam deck. It’s a bit of a learning curve to get it installed, but there’s a guide that will take you through the entire process, and it will teach you some about the more niche features of the deck.

- Comment on Hotly anticipated 'Black Myth: Wukong' is delayed on Xbox Series X|S — and now, Microsoft has responded 6 months ago:
The problem is the Series S sold a lot, last I read it was about two thirds of their user base. Microsoft also want to push platform independence using X Cloud, which solves their Series S issues, but with the feature parity requirement in the Series X and S, they keep hitting this issue.

- Comment on Broadcom has willingly dug its VMware hole, says cloud CEO 8 months ago:
I just left one of the UK’s largest VMWare customers, in a team working directly on VSphere and ESXI products. The team was just starting to tool up for a new internal project to manage VMs within the company using some of the newer features in these tools. We had well over 1 million VMs across more than a dozen datacenters. The cost of running this is expected to go up by 30 times or more.
While it’s going to take some time, they’re now looking at migrating to a different solution. So Broadcom are going to get their extra pay for a while, but not forever.

I used to work in a new age shop that sold rock salt lamps. A woman came in one time to complain about the lamp she bought.
Woman: My salt lamp was dusty and dirty.
Me: Okay…
W: So I took the rock salt off the base.
Me: Hmm?
W: And I washed it with hot soapy water.
Me: Ah.
W: And it just dissolved!
Me: Yep, it’s salt.
W: I want a refund.
Me: laughs.

Bard gave me this, and it’s not terrible:
(Verse 1) Worf: I’m a Klingon warrior, born to fight Data: I’m an android, made of metal and light Worf: I’ve got a heart full of rage Data: I’ve got a mind full of sage
(Chorus) But we’re both part of the Star Trek crew And we’re both here to see it through We’ve got our differences, it’s true But we’re both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you
(Verse 2) Worf: I’ve fought in battles, I’ve seen the best and the worst Data: I’ve studied the human condition, I’ve put it to the test Worf: I believe in honor and duty Data: I believe in logic and beauty
(Chorus) But we’re both part of the Star Trek crew And we’re both here to see it through We’ve got our differences, it’s true But we’re both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you
(Bridge) We’re two very different beings, that’s for sure But we’re both part of the Star Trek crew, that’s pure We’ve got our differences, but we also have our strengths And together, we can overcome any length
(Chorus) We’re both part of the Star Trek crew And we’re both here to see it through We’ve got our differences, it’s true But we’re both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you

Are the podcasters getting paid for these translated versions? If so, and at the same rate, then I don’t personally see an issue. If not, then yes, it’s exploitation.
- Comment on New Images of Elijah Wood, Peter Dinklage, and Kevin Bacon in 'The Toxic Avenger' Reboot 1 year ago:
Legendary Pictures are producing it, though Uncle Lloyd is on as a producer and has stated he thinks the script is better than the original. Still not sure how I feel about this, as a Troma movie with a budget just doesn’t feel right.
