- Comment on PS2 Memory Cards 1 week ago:
I had loads of memory cards back when they were actually current technology, so did my friends. I don’t remember anyone ever reporting issues with them other than losing them or accidentally wiping someone else’s save games. I think they’re pretty reliable.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
SotN is one of my top five games but yeah, it is too easy. Don’t forget that when you finish it you’re only half way through.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.
- Comment on How do people even function on a 9:00 to 5? 4 weeks ago:
I just leave my jacket on the chair and pick up my stuff like I’m going to a meeting. Then I fuck off and do whatever I’ve got to do.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t want a small phone, I just want a normal phone that I can use in one of my normal sized hands. I have an iPhone 13 Mini right now and it’s pretty ideal but I know they’ll go end of life one day and there’s nothing to replace it right now.
- Comment on Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content 1 month ago:
Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 month ago:
I just hit 230 on my phone.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 1 month ago:
A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 1 month ago:
Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.
- Comment on Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone 1 month ago:
Won’t happen. Waste of time and taxpayer money.
- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 2 months ago:
It’s not clear, am I going to lose games if I don’t do this?
- Comment on Funded in 5 minutes - the open source modular mini computer 'Pilet' is on Kickstarter 2 months ago:
They don’t look like this.
- Comment on Hardware upgrade recommendations 2 months ago:
How’d you get Haswell working? I run vainfo and it complains that it can’t recognise the chip but I’ve followed everything on the Debian wiki. When I google the error all I get is people complaining about it being the result of a bug and the responses are usually from developers promising to look into it.

- Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? 2 months ago:
What’s wrong with Epic Games launcher? I understand that they require some sort of delivery mechanism, even if you don’t use Epic you have to use Heroic or something. Is there something else I should hate?
- Comment on 26 years late but I finally beat Half Life 2 months ago:
Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.
- Comment on New year new brew 2 months ago:
I would expect it to be too acidic.
- Comment on The soundtrack occasionally gets stuck in my head all these years later 2 months ago:
I didn’t realise anyone thought Diddy Kong Racing was better than Mario Kart.
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 3 months ago:
I was reading about this on the BBC feed and it looked like the Conservatives (right wing) were more in favour of this than Labour or Lib Dems(left wing). Not what I was expecting. Most of them seemed to take issue with the legal protections in place to stop people being coerced into ending their lives but some also seemed to be prioritising the family over the terminally ill.

Tbf, raw milk is delicious.
- Comment on You guys have funding? 4 months ago:
I have no idea why I sub to this.
- Comment on Microsoft is struggling to get Windows Recall out the door — delays releasing first public preview. 5 months ago:
I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes? 5 months ago:
What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 5 months ago:
VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.
- Comment on Ahoy me hearties 5 months ago:
It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
- Comment on North Korea blows up parts of inter-Korean roads in a symbolic display of anger 5 months ago:
Their half I expect. They’re just gonna have to rebuild it one day.
- Comment on Ubisoft responds to rumors about Tencent’s potential buyout 5 months ago:
Outlaws seems totally fixable. I think people would likely start picking it up if they sorted out the boring missions.
