- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 1 week ago:
While I don’t doubt that there’s a market there, I would never in a million years pay money for a “power user”'s reddit posts. Fucking wild.
- Comment on Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’ 1 week ago:
It’s almost like they were responding to the other bullshit claim you made.
And your attempt to misdirect is just pathetifc. Do you think people can’t read what you yourself wrote one comment above?
- Comment on ai comments on cbs videos, but why? 1 week ago:
More comments means more human. files.catbox.moe/h10fqv.jpeg
- Comment on no words, much feelings 1 week ago:
We are so close to these fuckers selling clean, healthy air as the world suffocates.
- Comment on Best Buy Store 1 week ago:
Those last two are just…wow.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
Probably, but it hasn’t been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn’t require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
If only there we a way to connect to a network without an intermediary like PSN. Damn shame that it’s impossible.
- Comment on Do you allow transphobic mods? 2 weeks ago:
Ugh. I’ve been sensing a shift in tone on this instance. And the bowing out of the head admin really didn’t assuage my unease. Now this. I get the feeling I’m going to be changing instances again, which is a shame. This was a good instance for a while.
- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 2 weeks ago:
There is a steamer named Will Smith as well.
- Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 5 weeks ago:
For one, I see no reason to decide I’ll never play any game made after a certain point, barring a hardware requirement that I don’t want to fulfill (eg buying a new console). That’s just arbitrarily limiting good media that I could enjoy.
Second, the “Game Library Completion” preoccupation is another mistake, imo. I understand feeling bad about “wasting” money, but turning one’s hobby into a (monumental) task/chore isn’t gonna help that. It’ll probably just ruin that hobby.
All that said, do what makes you happy. If that’s all you want to do, I hope you enjoy it.
- Comment on Logitech has announced an 'intelligent streaming assistant' in Streamlabs to tell you when your live stream sucks 1 month ago:
The opposite, more realistically - anyone that thinks they’re doing perfectly is pretty much guaranteed to be shit. While stressing about quality doesn’t ensure it, it is the only thing that will lead to a better result.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 1 month ago:
Maybe willingly telling the guy steamrolling towards the 1984 timeline exactly who is against him isn’t the best idea?
- Comment on Beneath a Steel Sky 1 month ago:
I’ll take function-over-form over the reverse any day.
- Comment on If Anime Doesn't Get an Oscar Nomination Next Year, Then Film Is Dead 2 months ago:
How sad it must be to let the academy decide what “film” is for them.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 3 months ago:
it is also somewhat misleading
…what? No it isn’t. Restricting the premise from infinite to any finite amount of time completely negates it. That doesn’t prove it’s “misleading”, it proves anyone that thinks it does has no idea what they’re talking about.
- Comment on Yep, it's me 3 months ago:
It was pretty fluid, easy to understand.
- Comment on Yep, it's me 3 months ago:
More interesting question - why is ice slippery?

- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 months ago:
I didn’t read the article, but wouldn’t the site see the phone as soon as it’s taken out of the bag? Unless the plan is to leave the phone in the bag the whole time, at which point it seems easier to just leave it behind.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 4 months ago:
Those people sold it to musk. They were tech bros whose goal from the start was to get a massive buyout and bail. They don’t deserve your respect anymore than musk does.

No

- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 4 months ago:
There are 2 important words there that you’re missing.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 4 months ago:
We really need to break our conditioning that employment is the highest priority in our lives. That employers can dictate whether we take live saving action depending on how many pennies it’ll cost them.
And this isn’t to victim blame. What happened to these people is a travesty and the company holds the blame for it, 100%. It’s more to point out that we’re the only ones that can take action on this. Nobody (certainly not corps) is going to break this mindset or norm on our behalf. Look out for yourself and your peers. You’re more important then your employer’s bottom line.
- Comment on Steam players no longer require a Microsoft Account to play multiplayer 4 months ago:
“Worth it anyway” to have autumnal functionality?
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 4 months ago:
In short - a lot.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 4 months ago:
Most phones have an emergency lockdown that will require a passcode, fwiw.
- Comment on 'let me show you the nether before bed' 4 months ago:
It’s funny when you die in the nether lava ocean ans have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.
- Comment on Instagram has announced it will be removing beauty filters – but the damage is done. 5 months ago:
Instagram has it’s fair share of blame for the trend, but I don’t think they were the progenitor, as it were. Snapchat was far more heavy-handed with face altering filters from the get-go, as I remember it. Instagram was mostly just the “old-school” sepia tone, black-and-white type filters for the most part until that picked up.
