- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
Especially a big problem for people who play on Steam Deck. Which most game companies don’t consider it a Console, which is stupid.
- Comment on That explains it. 1 month ago:
Young adult women who post thirst traps are looking to be looked at. Especially if they aren’t on a private profile.
It’s normal for men of all ages to look at women who consent with open permissions.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 2 months ago:
I remember taking that game home from school with a floppy disk to put on the home pc.
- Comment on YSK: some common medications can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke 2 months ago:
Yea same here. I have to sit in front of my AC and bringing in the groceries makes me overheat so much I have to use cold water and the AC to stop it.
I grew up in deserts like the Mojave and used to be able to work in 115 degrees. Now I can’t surpass 75 degrees.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
It really bugs me how every scandal co-ops the -gate from the Watergate scandal to try to give it more legitimacy.
The Hotel was the Watergate Hotel. There is no gate in Kotaku or Gamer. Just another fundamental ignorance of reality the media has come to.

The Wing Commander and Dugeon Seige treatment.
- Comment on Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel | Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated 2 months ago:
Doesn’t matter if they walked it back. I’m now playing my games on Linux.
And wow it is just working.
- Comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel 2 months ago:
Well I spent Sunday night installing Manjaro and so far so good. It’s been almost 30 years since the last time I used Linux, and KDE Plasma is really easy to use.
I decided to wipe my Win 10 drive so there was no going back. I was able to install and play games like normal, and I even used the command line to pull and build the Mullvad VPN App from the Arch store, and sign the app certificate.
The best part was once I setup the steam libraries Steam pulled all the information from those drives and all my games that weren’t on my Windows SSD were ready to go. All of my peripherals just worked and the Nvidia driver was fine.
I’m just missing some GOG Games, but Heroic should take care of that. Painless and simple.
It’s amazing how much has changed in over 20 years.
- Comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel 2 months ago:
I am glad I waited on dual boot since the recent patch broke that. So, now I’m looking for a good way to just go all in without losing too much data.
I really just need a stable kernel with a decent UI that works with Gaming/Proton AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU.
The distro choices are too expansive and I haven’t had to start fresh in a new OS in 30 years.
- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.
You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.
- Comment on Kerbal Space Program 2 feared cancelled as 70 layoffs reported at Take-Two's Seattle offices 6 months ago:
This is what many economists were talking about how broken the system is now. MBA’s are expecting short term growth to increase infinitely, which is impossible, so you start cannibalizing more and more profitable sectors of your business until you can no longer make anything with what you have left because you gave up yearly profits of billions for quarterly growth that is unsustainable.
I wouldn’t have expected video games to be the first industry to start the fall.
- Comment on Rightsholders Want U.S. “Know Your Customer” Proposal to Include Domain Name Services * TorrentFreak 6 months ago:
They just want private Corporate Gestapo. Which is totally better than Government run Gestapo. Private “Corporations” always make the right choices.

- Comment on Dell tells remote workers that they won’t be eligible for promotion 8 months ago:
Sadly I bet that means no more raises.
- Comment on How Hackers Dox Doctors to Order Mountains of Oxy and Adderall 8 months ago:
I really wish it was this easy to get the meds I actually need. I’ve been dealing with Chronic Pain for over 20 years now and still can’t get enough meds to function as a normal person.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 9 months ago:
I gave my Index to my son who has the time and physicality to use it. I’m just too old for action gaming now.
I would have loved it if I was 30 years younger. I can do more from a chair with my desktop PC than an Apple Vision Pro can. It’s just another Apple Con.
- Comment on Hertz Is Selling 20,000 Used EVs Due To High Repair Costs 10 months ago:
My guess is that repair costs are higher because they have to be sent out for expensive repairs because the car software is locked down so they cannot repair them in-house.
That’s what the future is coming to with cars. No more fixing with your own parts at home.
- Comment on Now that we've had SF for a bit, what do you think? Good, flawed, bad? 1 year ago:
You only really need to open the Star Map when landing/scanning a planet.
If you are in the cockpit screen just open up the scanner and select Star systems from there and hold the travel key to start your warp.
Like previous BGS games, you can navigate in menu’s or in the world.
- Comment on In The Empire Strikes Back, why does Han significantly outrank Luke? 1 year ago:
Han was a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy before being discharged for saving Chewbacca from slavery.
He was awarded the Corellian Bloodstripes during that period of time.
Unless the new Canon retconned all of that away.
- Comment on A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory 1 year ago:
I worked in a semiconductor plant. There isn’t any special skill to it. You have a list that you do and nowadays the robots actually do all the difficult work.
In my time, you had to check and calculate by hand the offsets for the lithography machines. Now with it being done in self-contained robots because of the radiation x-ray process, a person just manages the robots.
Also, why isn’t the new Intel plant being built having the same issues with qualified workers?
I personally think it’s stupid to build a high water using plant in the middle of a desert, when the area hasn’t ever monitored the water table.
- Comment on Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down 1 year ago:
Totally understandable incompetence from the military.
I think I only have a few original pages from my service. Most just disappear.
