  I loved this game, I thought it was much better than the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the unlikely event I had to create a porn site account even the NSA wouldn’t be able to link it back to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Office is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. Why have they jammed it into a brand which is already toxic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was a blast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is a meme but how often are people buying RAM that they find this relatable? I upgraded my PC to 32gb over a year ago, I sn’t that plenty for now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No contest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are people still arguing in the comments. Falcon would be toast before they’d got someone to the turrets.

  I wish I had a father.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They should make it a law to require adequate parental controls to exist on a phone in a way that parents can use them, then teach the parents how to use them. If your kid goes and starts viewing porn then it’s your own fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  18 or 20.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who have sun sneezes tend to sneeze a bunch of times at once. Sun sneezes are genetic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apps were still kinda new at the time and social media was shit hot. iPhones were still premium products and most people didn’t have one.

  I think a lot of people don’t realise that when the iPhone first came out it didn’t have apps. They eventually released an upgrade so that you could pin webpages to the homepage. I remember Apple arguing that web stuff was so good now you didn’t need apps.

  From what I recall around that time the Kin never really generated that much interest. It wasn’t being aimed as a product to replace the iPhone and was targeted at the kind of people who nowadays would sit on their phone and scroll TikTok. There was a lot of change in those days; social media was still pretty new, useful internet in your phone was pretty new (it’d been around for years but it wasn’t so expensive to this point nobody had used it, iPhone made constant internet connections a thing) touch screens were still new and sexy, and more I forget about. The idea that your phone was this little mobile computer that you carried around wasn’t really there yet and they were still mostly for communicating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is pretty normal as you grow up. You get kind of bored of playing games that use the same gameplay mechanisms and you just look for a change. Even if the mechanisms in these indie games aren’t as good, just being different makes the game more interesting.

  Nowadays I’d much rather play a short indie games that a big budget game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t need to court developers, they need to court consumers. The games will be sold wherever people are buying.

  Don’t know. No problems for me (UK).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how I feel about this game. Seems like a less ambitious NMS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is Jared Birchall. He is the right-hand man of Elon Musk. He also manages his wealth. Jared hates when people see his face.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. If the right wingers started posting pictures of the families of left wingers we’d be calling them out for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is Jared Birchall. He is the right-hand man of Elon Musk. He also manages his wealth. Jared hates when people see his face.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all for posting pictures of him but don’t post his family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Samsung smart TV and apart from suggesting I watch stuff on their own Samsung channel thing I don’t think it shows me any adverts. Maybe it’s because I’m not in the US?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a lucky woman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ChatGPT says it’s just a guy who’s full of himself. I’m inclined to believe it’s correct on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can never be too big, but it’s a problem if it’s a big city with nothing to do (Cyberpunk).

  I want to get Luigi’s Mansion as I remember really enjoying the first one. It’s just so expensive though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission. At least Microsoft are trying to do something interesting, computers are so boring nowadays. You could take any of the operating systems and wind them back five years and I probably wouldn’t notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea what this is about⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone keeps blaming the aliens but I didn’t that they were that bad a fit. But the movie was terrible and at that but where LeBouf started swinging through the trees I was ready to walk out.

  The newer one’s not too bad though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t they just reduce the tax on drinking in a pub so they can take more profit from what’s spent? Most alcoholics drink at home now anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portal and Portal 2 are 80% off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been doing this for years now. Over the past ten years I’ve probably only bought about five games that were over £15.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been asked for any of this stuff but I think it’s literally because my email account is so old.

  Labour tried to introduce it about 20 years ago but it got killed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just been reading the BBC article on it and it says that every other party is against them being compulsory. I don’t think this’ll make it through.
