- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 1 week 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 3 weeks ago:
They don’t look like this.
- Comment on Hardware upgrade recommendations 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.
- Comment on New year new brew 4 weeks ago:
I would expect it to be too acidic.
- Comment on The soundtrack occasionally gets stuck in my head all these years later 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t realise anyone thought Diddy Kong Racing was better than Mario Kart.
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 1 month 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.
- Comment on ugh i wish 2 months ago:
Tbf, raw milk is delicious.
- Comment on You guys have funding? 2 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. 2 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? 2 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. 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 months ago:
Outlaws seems totally fixable. I think people would likely start picking it up if they sorted out the boring missions.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 4 months ago:
There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).
- Comment on Oasis ticketing chaos prompts probe into dynamic pricing 4 months ago:
I’m more pissed that I sat in line for five hours then when I had the tickets in my basket the site crapped out and I got kicked.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 5 months ago:
Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company 5 months ago:
Well everyone who’s heard of it probably owns it and the new edition just added better graphics and all that behind the scenes stuff nobody ever cares about. I thought many parts of the OG game looked better in SD than HD anyway.
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 6 months ago:
I must be doing something wrong with the maths. In 2021 it says they paid $76,000,000 in salaries to the Steam department, but only had 79 employees. Doesn’t that mean they earnt nearly $1,000,000 each?
- Comment on I thought he sounded fine. 6 months ago:
I can’t tell if we’re quoting Trump or Biden nowadays.
- Comment on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore 6 months ago:
I hate Windows for all the monetisation and privacy issues but I never really had problems with it killing my computer.
- Comment on British tech firm Raspberry Pi lines up £500m float 8 months ago:
But what are the other options that aren’t from some random Chinese company? I tried a Beaglebone but it was so slow at a similar price point.
- Comment on Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight 8 months ago:
Just to manage expectations, the northern lights don’t look nearly as good in real life. They look like night clouds.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 8 months ago:
Amazon Prime is absolute dogshit anyway. Fallout wasn’t even that good, I don’t know why it got such a warm reception. Probably because people had such low hopes for it. Rings of Power was a billion dollar investment and only 30% of people finished the whole series.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 9 months ago:
Anyone remember when China routed the whole internet through their country for like nine minutes?
- Comment on Trust exercise 9 months ago:
Explain?
- Comment on [Retro Dodo]Google is killing Retro Dodo and Other Independent Sites 9 months ago:
On DuckDuckGo they’re the second result for “retro handheld news”.
