- Comment on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Remastered with New Features 2 weeks ago:
Cool we’re getting this. I played the demo a bit on Dreamcast and haven’t really gone back. A lot of early 3D games don’t hold up well by modern standards so it’s good to see we’re getting updates like this.
- Comment on YouTube devs be like 2 weeks ago:
“Why isn’t one of the most expensive to operate websites free?!”
There’s a reason there are zero actual competitors in this space (maybe TikTok but it’s full of its own problems). Only a company as big as Google can afford to run at this scale. Feel free to add your business plan on how to make YouTube free without it shutting down in 3 months.
- Comment on Nintendo's new music app is a clone of YouTube Music. 4 weeks ago:
Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I’d be like yeah checks out.

- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 1 month ago:
Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.

I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would’ve taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I’m curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there’s no benefit I feel people aren’t using these tools or don’t know how to use them effectively.

I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.
- Comment on Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
As I get older I’ve grown to just appreciate comfort over precision. I don’t play competitive multiplayer, in fact the only multiplayer I play is COD zombies with some buddies once a week. And we all suck anyways so we’re just having a laugh. I’d much rather just lean back in my chair with a controller.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 2 months ago:
I’ve got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn’t get enough stock in so I’m left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it’s roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.
- Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. 2 months ago:
Yea Audible too. I can’t remember the name of the tool but you can connect to your account and it pulls all your purchases locally DRM free. It was handy for setting up Audiobookshelf
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 2 months ago:
Exactly. I wish these types of posts would change “music these days” to “pop these days” because that’s what they’re talking about.
It’s debatable when pop actually began but pop as we know it really codified in the 80s with dawn of MTV and acts like Madonna and Michael Jackson. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc were popular but I wouldn’t classify any of this as Pop. Pop has always been pretty people because it was by its nature tied to a visual medium.
People need to understand music is more than Pop. We have more access to music than ever before and a lot of the music I listen to regularly, I have no idea what they look like.

Just don’t connect it to the internet and it’s a dumb display, simple as that
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 2 months ago:
Biggest thing I miss about the old Pixels was this because you could swipe it to pull the notifications bar down. It worked system wide so you could during a game or video just pop it down to check time or settings and just flick it away.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 2 months ago:
It definitely does, it pulls live satellite data of the whole world
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök - PC Launch Trailer 2 months ago:
PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.
- Comment on The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive 2 months ago:
I’ve also just learned over the years that I just don’t go back to stuff all that much. If I finish a game, that’s it I’m done. If I really want to go back in 20 years there’s probably a PC port since there are very few console exclusives or just emulation.
- Comment on The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive 2 months ago:
I’m one of those people. I just can’t be arsed to get up off the couch and put a game. After work and kids I’m beat and just want to pick something and start playing.

Have you seen kids? Most of them play games exclusively on mobile devices now.
- Comment on Fake Pokémon Cartridge Spotted At GameStop Raises Concerns Among Retro Gamers 2 months ago:
This has sparked concern, especially with GameStop launching new Retro GameStops across North America, where retro game authenticity should be a priority.
Lol, it’s Game Stop not the Library of Congress. These are minimum wage employees they’re not trained in repro carts

I’m just looking forward to watching movies on my phone during a long commute.
- Comment on Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement 2 months ago:
Phone wouldn’t work for me, I’ve got a strict no phone around the TV rule for myself because I’m way too tempted to just use it instead of enjoying the thing I’m watching. Also wouldn’t really want to put an Xbox controller onto my wife or step mother.
I wish there was some kind of application you could run that would abstract all the mouse and keyboard interactions into a remote control friendly interface.
- Comment on Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement 2 months ago:
Anyway to do this without a keyboard. I used to have a PC connected to my TV for this but eventually just bought an apple tv for simplicity.

I just realized I’ve seen the meme thousands of times but this is the first time watching the source. It’s like watching behind the scenes of your favorite movie.
