- Comment on Microsoft Came to Bargain: Use OneDrive for Device Backup, Opt into Loyalty Program and Use Their Products Till You Earn 1000 Points or Pay $30 and They Might Give You Security Updates till Oct 2026. 1 day ago:
I’m sorry to disagree. I’ve been using Microsoft crap since the days where you had to free up memory in config.sys to load Novell Netware drivers, and never has Microsoft been the cool kid in town. It was always the fat bastard bully kid that would beat and extort the other kids.

That’s, like, your opinion, man.

I see what you did there…
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 1 week ago:
The Halo series.
I like shooters, so I got the full bundle and I tried hard to like it.
None of the games gave me a lasting impression. The plot didn’t stick with me, the enemies were weird, the guns felt weak and flimsy, the rooms kept repeating in some sections and it got very boring. There were some fun bits with the vehicles, etc., but overall the experience was… pretty much average.
I was expecting something like the Half-Life series, but this wasn’t it.
- Comment on Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event. 2 weeks ago:
No typo, apparently fealty is similar to fidelity in English, which is not my native language. Sorry about that.
- Comment on Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event. 2 weeks ago:
That’s one typo that actually makes this less bad.
- Comment on So many bands emphatically demonstrate that successful communication is not about what you say, but how you say it 2 weeks ago:
I’ll upvote any PUSA reference, but I agree that a lot of lyrics seem meaningless, as they refer to bugs and balloons and whatever. Or are they?
Anyway, the music is great if you like rock, and I’ll take lyrics about Matchbox cars over lyrics about bitches and bling.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 2 weeks ago:
Well, for starters, games are going to get more expensive.
That is their prerogative. Mine is not buying overpriced games.

I’m surprised nobody posted the surprised_pikachu.gif yet.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Recall feature is still threat to privacy despite recent tweaks 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s time you invested some time in finding alternatives that let you stay in control of said hardware. I know time is in short supply for all of us, so consider your priorities.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 3 weeks ago:
Now that you put it like that, I think what puts me off is all the melee and glory kills. Not my cup of tea. I need my social distancing from hellspawn. That, and the puny amounts of ammo. When I play a boomer shooter, I want to shoot. If I wanted melee, I’d play Mortal Kombat or something.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 3 weeks ago:
Different tastes.
The simplicity, artwork and playability appeals to me.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 3 weeks ago:
Finally installed Doom 2016. It’s nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 3 weeks ago:
I’ve sunk nearly 800 hours on it.
Good luck.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the warning.
I have the original Talos plus the DLC and love it but I’ll wait some years until I have the iron to run the remaster.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 3 weeks ago:
I never uninstall it, in fact I have several copies: Steam, GOG…
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 3 weeks ago:
I guess so.
The first two (mainly the first) had that special something you get in indie games.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 3 weeks ago:
Torchlight and Torchlight 2 are great games and even have mods available.
I hear 3 and Infinite are not, though.

I’ve been online since the time my modern had to scream at my phone line and this is the first time I encountered that particular TLA.

Sorry, I was having one of those days, I guess.
I haven’t found a good way to filter by subject, so thanks for the tip, I’ll have a look.

I will down vote any and all news that referes to something that the Weird Cheeto in command said.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 4 weeks ago:
There are a lot of other neat inventions that deal with that.
The problem with traffic is caused by lack of investment in public transportation. Have a look at how they solved it in Paris.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 4 weeks ago:
Trains? We’ve been using those for over a century now.

So… did they find any new interesting digits there or just the usual 0 to 9?

The amounts of copium that Windows users are willing to swallow to avoid changing are reaching stratospheric levels. Inertia is one hell of a drug.
