Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 19 hours ago:
No it’s not. It’s sad.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.
Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 6 days ago:
I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 1 week ago:
I was more saying cheap “when companies moved in”. Now it just has the workforce and supply chain knowledge/infrastructure because of those investments.
Corporate fucktard assholes are running out of cheap labor around the world. They keep moving it around, but eventually there won’t be any place to go.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 1 week ago:
“Unfounded US propaganda”.
Are you saying China DIDN’T aggressively take over Hong Kong and all of the businesses that operated there?
Xi is the head of the government in a totalitarian, communist regime. Just because he might be “leaving BYD alone” or whatever today does not mean that couldn’t change in an instant.
The United States is its own form of screwed up and is an absolute mess. I’m not sitting over here going 'US good. China bad". I’m making the point they’re both bad in different ways.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 1 week ago:
Foreign investment was because of cheap labor and companies being subsidized by the communist government…
BYD might make a better car than Tesla, but saying that a Chinese company isn’t “under the control of Xi Jingping”, the guy who crushed Hong Kong for having too much independence and wants to do the same with Taiwan, is laughable.
- Comment on FISH³ is a surreal arcade fishing racer where you have to fish while you drive a fish-powered boat 1 week ago:
…uh…cool…
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 week ago:
What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts 1 week ago:
AI has been a net-negative for society.
- Comment on Millions of Americans Who Have Waited Decades for Fast Internet Connections Will Keep Waiting After the Trump Administration Threw a $42 Billion High-Speed Internet Program Into Disarray. 2 weeks ago:
Never say never. There are actually several areas where I’ve seen fiber build out from government grants.
That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.
- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 2 weeks ago:
This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.
- Comment on Android 16 is here 3 weeks ago:
Poor Seang Chau. They wrote this blog post in a total of three paragraphs, but Google was still like “WOULD YOU LIKE AN AI SUMMARY?” at the top.
Literally took me about 45 seconds to read all of the features, but Google is over here burning down another rainforest to process an AI summary of a three paragraph blog post with three pictures.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 3 weeks ago:
Chances are you’ve had the same public IP for a long time. Mine hasn’t changed in 2 years.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 3 weeks ago:
Your “IP address” is already public. That’s why an IPv4 address is assigned to you as a “public IP address” and you NAT to a private space. When using IPv6, everything is public.
The key is to secure everything with access restrictions.
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 4 weeks ago:
Cool… I’ll stick with my wires that work every time and don’t have latency, batteries, and connection problems thanks.
- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
Nah I saw it on FF as well. Forcing an update on the “Quick Fixes” blocklist on uBlock Origin got rid of it.
- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 4 weeks ago:
Germany has done this multiple times before. Microsoft has historically swept in with some sweetheart deal to lure them back.
Hopefully it sticks this time.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 5 weeks ago:
A language I wish would die already, but there are still vendors that program in it, along with freaking Tomcat hosted applications. EduTech is still stuffed to the gills with it.

And failing, apparently
- Comment on Looking to get into Sonic games 5 weeks ago:
Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.
And yet…they STILL fucked it up.
- Comment on Nvidia debuts a native GeForce NOW app for Steam Deck, supporting games in up to 4K at 60 FPS; in testing, the app extended Steam Deck battery life by up to 50% 5 weeks ago:
Probably for docked Decks attached to a 4K TV/Display.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.
My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 5 weeks ago:
It’s always interesting the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I’d have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 5 weeks ago:
I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.
There aren’t any games I play regularly that don’t “just work” on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.
Until then…maybe dual boot?

- Comment on Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S. 1 month ago:
This is common in the US when you run out of paid high speed data for your cell phone plan. They throttle your speeds to 128kbps so you technically have “unlimited data at 3G speeds” but it’s basically barely usable.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
Also true
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
I bought Plex Pass when it was $75 for the lifetime option.
I prefer Jellyfin, but sharing is harder for family members with it because I can’t get them to just log in without existing credentials (Google Account, Apple ID, etc). Trying to convince me 67 year old mother-in-law to enter a URL, username, and password into an app with a remote is like asking my child to eat broccoli.
For now, I’ll keep running dual stack with both. If Plex pulls lifetime passes, even though it’ll be a PITA, I’ll convert everyone to Jellyfin despite the pain.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 2 months ago:
They mention their equipment is legacy and only supports Windows 10. An Airgapped VM of Windows 10 is a good option to continue supporting legacy hardware.
