- Comment on From a safe to the streets: tracing how Australia’s licensed firearms end up in criminal hands 2 weeks ago:
I have to wonder how much of the “criminals have easy access to guns” rhetoric is actually cooked up by the gun lobby, because the subtext feels like “so shouldn’t you, too?” I’m also seeing a fair bit of noise about Castle Doctrine around the place and it all just feels astroturfed.
- Comment on PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor 3 weeks ago:
There’s a couple of Wip3Out games on PSP that I find as timeless and rewarding as the rest of the series.

Unreal Tournament Terminal Velocity
- Comment on Hydrophobia (PS3) out of context 2 months ago:
In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.
- Comment on are images broken for anyone else? 3 months ago:
Yeah I’m having issues last day or two. I feel like it’s been intermittent up until today. Now nothing loads, here or federated.

- Comment on Commonwealth Bank investigates ‘issue’ that has locked thousands out of account 4 months ago:
Yeah I believe you, the app wasn’t working for me, either. I was using my card all afternoon with no problems though. Not locked out of anything.
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank investigates ‘issue’ that has locked thousands out of account 4 months ago:
Typical 7 news sensationalism, it was a tech issue on the frontend affecting app and web services. No one was ‘locked out’ of their account.
Last line of the article:
Other services including ATMs, online and in-person payments, including tap and pay, were unaffected…

Be cool if they could integrate with gadgetbridge
- Comment on Australian owner of Toronto café chain fighting Ottawa to save $8K of Vegemite 5 months ago:
Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don’t know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that’s high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.

With a little fucking around I’m fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.
- Comment on New glasses? The unsightly world of optometry retailing - Michael West 6 months ago:
First time I ducked into a Dresden opticians for an eye test they straight up told me; “Nope, you don’t need new glasses.” Instant loyalty from me, and since then they’ve done it twice more.

Not sure it’s my favourite, but Wipeout XL/2097 deserves a mention.
- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 7 months ago:
Schrödinger’s asshole. It’s testing boundaries. If you say something, they’ll claim it was just a joke. If you don’t they’ll keep going and likely get worse.
- Comment on What job do you need this hard hat for? 7 months ago:
Yee-har’d hat.
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 7 months ago:
Not familiar with those particular games, but if you’re lucky there might be a third party mod manager that takes some of the hassle out.

- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 11 months ago:
Even if it isn’t changing IP, you still want it in your DHCP table so that IP doesn’t accidentally get assigned to something else. It’s unlikely but it can happen.
