- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
It definitely will be running on the same old tired engine. It’s listed on the wiki as the engine in use already.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
That’s exactly how I felt too. I tried SO MANY times to build the ship I wanted. Never could get it done. I even console-command-cheated vendor stock to allow myself access to every part at my home base, and even STILL THEN I could never get it the way I wanted it. Just wound up abandoning my entire build and going back to the same ol ship I’d been using the whole game.
- Comment on PSA: Libraries 3 months ago:
I use my libary card to download and read free ebooks on my Kobo all the time. Absolutely love it.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor 4 months ago:
Just tried it out with my proton account. Looks great! It’s very simple, but I also like that about it. And of course being private is wonderful.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 months ago:
Windows 11 was what finally forced me over to linux for good, no more dual booting. I know it sounds strange, but the straw that broke its back was the taskbar. I have an ultrawide monitor, so I ALWAYS have the taskbar vertical on a side. It makes zero sense to have it at the bottom. Massive waste of space. Windows 11 DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE TASKBAR. I was flabbergasted. This is a feature that has existed for decades in every OS. I just couldn’t comprehend the stupidity, so I just didn’t. Formatted the drive and went to Arch, then to Tumbleweed. Couldn’t be happier.
- Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. 8 months ago:
All those tiny penis trucks are so funny, there’s never a single spot of mud or dirt inside the wheel wells, and they put mud tires on to drive around on pavement! It’s like … hmmmmmmmmm what happened to your brain?
- Comment on Ray tracing made possible on 42-year-old ZX Spectrum: 'reasonably fast, if you consider 17 hours per frame to be reasonably fast' 9 months ago:
700 years worth of compute to do about an hour of gaming that I just did on my pc at home in realtime … damn.
Did I math it right? I was averaging about 100 fps in hogwarts for about an hour.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 10 months ago:
Ehhhh, it has a lot of decisions, yes. But in the end: do any of them matter whatsoever? I feel like 99% of my decisions never made any kind of difference whatsoever at the end.
I did a whole bunch of stuff with Shadowheart and she wasn’t even in my ending at all. Totally missing. I did even more crazy stuff with Karlach, and in the end I was given zero dialog or options or chances to do anything with her, the game forced her to say “I’m getting too hot” and fall down and explode and die. I did by far the most stuff with my primary character Astarion, and in the end I got zero options to do anything with the woman he loved and he ran away to hide in a cave.
So… Yes there are lots of options to make decisions one way or another. But none of them matter at all whatsoever in the end. So, don’t be too in awe, because the way they make the story work is just totally ignoring anything you ever did.
- Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives 10 months ago:
Been using standardnotes for years and absolutely love it. My fav is the quick note-type changer. Can go from base text only to markup to checklist etc so easy.
- Comment on New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion 11 months ago:
I mean I guess that could be right, but in the end this scenario also spells doom for the company. There is no way that reddit continues to stay relevant as a meaningful place in the future. It’ll be relegated to the garbage dump where yahoo and digg and tumblr somehow still exist in zombie fashion. Sad.
- Comment on New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion 11 months ago:
I was really surprised recently when I was searching for some help with a mod for a videogame and a result popped up on my duckduckgo search page for a thread on reddit about it, so I clicked it and BAM: “error, this subreddit has not been reviewed, so it is not possible to view it. Either use the app or go to home page” … wtf? I mean, this basically destroys the entire site right? I was 100% unable to view whatever content had been posted in that subreddit. So I just closed it and went somewhere else. I don’t see how reddit can even continue to exist if they don’t allow people to view the site. How did this happen?
- Comment on Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger 11 months ago:
OMG that’d be hilarious. Also don’t even say a word to anyone, just have an editor trim that 3 second scene from IM2 and replace it on the disney+ streaming service with this new version.
- Comment on Stop using Fandom 1 year ago:
and recently the AI written garbage “gamer” websites have become a problem as well. You can tell instantly that some ai just collected and regurgitated a bunch of text that doesn’t even make sense.
Now I pretty much stick just to the fan created wikis. Stuff like bg3.wiki and uesp.net
- Comment on Apple jacks prices to juice profits because $19.3B a quarter isn't enough 1 year ago:
Is this thread a secret marketing ploy?!?!? Now I want some delicious fake apple cereal!
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again 1 year ago:
Agreed. This is not expensive at all. 100% worth the value which is less than a dollar a month.
- Comment on US issues first ever fine for space junk to Dish Network 1 year ago:
Dish/DirectTV/whatevertheyarecalledthesedays won’t be long for this world. Eventually any amount of fine will be worth more than they have which will be $0. But for now, yeah, let’s ad another 0 to this fine AT LEAST!
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again 1 year ago:
I MUCH prefer Jellyfin to Plex. Jellyfin seems to have active development whereas Plex is more interested in adding in a ton of “features” (aka garbage) that I never ever wanted and continues to leave YEARS old bugs out in the wild. I think it won’t be long until Plex enshittifies itself to death. They clearly have a financial situation that is not aligned with its users.
- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 1 year ago:
“personalized” ads. So does this mean if you pay $14 a month you’ll still get the exact same amount of ads but they just won’t be personalized? LOL
- Comment on Google search is over 1 year ago:
- two search engines. ddg is white label bing.
I use and love ddg, so I hope that doesn’t change your opinion of it, just good to know.
- Comment on Raivo is sold. 1 year ago:
that’s what I liked about it as well! Can sync my codes with icloud.
- Comment on Raivo is sold. 1 year ago:
LOL I was going to switch to Raivo from Authy until I heard this, and then after some research settled on 2fas. Is it no good, or just doesn’t fit your use??? Now I’m hesitant again!
- Comment on Raivo is sold. 1 year ago:
I’m wondering this as well. I’d love to get off of Authy.
- Comment on What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch? 1 year ago:
I have wanted a decent product in this category for YEARS now and sadly, there’s really not many options at all. The ring one that requires a damn subscription is laughably a non starter. What on earth.
- Comment on Looking for a email-provider where i can host my oen domain 1 year ago:
Another vote for the proton services. Been with them for years and very happy.
