That tiger in SoM is so awful.

The alchemy system is really unique.

Because the port and the associated internal hardware would take up a huge amount of space.
It’s not much space to a smartphone, but to a device the size of a watch, the USB-C port would end up being the largest internal component.
Wireless charging is the answer for most watches, though it means cases can’t be all metal and glass.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 2 days ago:
It’s also a very long campaign with several points that feel like they’re coming up on the ending, only for a lot more game and story to come afterward.
- Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer 6 days ago:
I never finished the 1st one because I found the complete lack of connection between the stories frustrating. I get that they wanted you to be able to play with any combination of the 8 characters, but the story suffered heavily.
It was just 8 separate games played at once with the same mechanics, and the lack of any real overarching story meant the narative scope of everything felt small.
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 1 week ago:
It’s not about porn games. It’s about allowing third-party private interests to engage in censorship.
If Valve were to ban porn games from being sold on Steam because they find them distasteful, I wouldn’t have a problem with this. But it wasn’t Valve’s decision. It was the payment processors who did it on behalf of interests that are apparently allowed to determine what is permissible on other people’s platforms.
That’s not okay.
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 1 week ago:
That’s eerily similar to what I grew up with. Like: “are you my sibling, and is that actually my old house”-level similar.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 1 week ago:
And I don’t give cash to anonymous people online. I only use cash in-person for immediate services or products.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 1 week ago:
If it was used as an actual currency instead of an investment vehicle for speculators, that would help.
It also has zero protection from scams and fraud.
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 2 weeks ago:
Americans can’t sign it, but the law would absolutely benefit American gamers.
If they have to do the legwork to leave the games in a playable state or pass it to the community, American gamers will be able to participate.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
For plastics, pretty much. The thing about plastic recycling is that it’s more expensive that making new plastic, and the recycled stuff is lower quality and unsuitable for many uses.
Metal.recycling, especially aluminum, makes economic sense and does better.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 2 weeks ago:
Back in 2006/2007, it wasn’t a terrible idea. I actually used it a bit after I dropped cable in college to buy shows that I wanted to watch.
- Comment on Personal Responsibility 2 weeks ago:
I have seen a divorce caused by the presence of a kid.
Coworker and her husband adopted a teenager who had issues. He started physically assaulting my coworker and she didn’t feel safe in the house and wanted the kid gone. Husband said they’d made a promise to care for and love him. In the end, he chose the kid over his wife and they ended up divorced.
Also - I first heard this story from her when she had a breakdown about it on my first day at the job when I went to ask for the key to the supply closet.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 3 weeks ago:
The only thing it’s useful at is shit that isn’t necessary.
We had a P&Z member at the city I work at get butthurt because we corrected him at a meeting, so the city manager asked me to write an apology letter to him.
That was the one time I loved ChatGPT. It was bullshit that didn’t need to happen that I didn’t care about and achieved nothing, so I let the fucking bot write it.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 3 weeks ago:
Well, it’s a Seagate, so it still comes out to about a hundred bucks a month.
- Comment on Elmo is on fire 3 weeks ago:
You should watch Jon Stewart’s monologue from yesterday.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 3 weeks ago:
You want to hear about a game to play?
Clair Obscur. Made from former Ubisoft team members in what sounds like a healthy development culture and it’s a godamnned masterpiece at every level. Visuals, art direction, story, characters, mechanics, music - it’s all stellar.
- Comment on YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area 3 weeks ago:
From courts legitimately interpreting the law? Not at all.
But that’s not a guarantee anymore, and the administration also doesn’t care what the courts say. He also just got gigafunding for his Gestapo.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 4 weeks ago:
Not everyone can live in California wine country.
Most people live where it gets either dangerously hot or dangerously cold for large portions of the year.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 4 weeks ago:
Because I live in Texas and being outside in the summer for extended periods is dangerous.
- Comment on Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps 4 weeks ago:
My recent experience with my phone is I tell it to set a 5 minute timer and it sets one in the fucking Google search browser, and if I page away I lose the timer.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 4 weeks ago:
As long they can send people to torture prisons without due process or evidence, we do NOT have a First Amendment.
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 4 weeks ago:
I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.
The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I’m very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.
48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.

But non-tech people aren’t buying Faiphones, but whatever they’re pushing at the Verizon store.
- Comment on Genius 4 weeks ago:
Unless you have an older machine, probably the Coke guy.
Coke wants to control what drinks are in the machine and what percentage of the take Coke gets, so they refill the machines.
We used to have an older machine on an old contract, and since we didn’t really care about the income from it we let Coke swap it for a new one they’d service.
About 2 months later, they said we weren’t selling enough drinks and took the new machine away.
- Comment on Genius 4 weeks ago:
Coca-Cola owns the machines, btw.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 4 weeks ago:
Buying studios wasn’t stupid.
Doing it and putting all their products on a subscription service is.
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 5 weeks ago:
They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I live in Texas. I own like 2 shirts with long sleeves in case I have to go to a funeral or something.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 5 weeks ago:
That’s just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn’t a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn’t room for a third player.
