- Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money" 1 day ago:
I feel this is true about much of what you see online currently. Videos that could have been an short how-to, articles that contain mostly AI generated filler. Also, if you want support on that you better join our discord.
I have genuine gratitude to people who share their in depth knowledge online using old fashion HTML.

I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 2 days ago:
I take that as a hint that I’m not in the site’s target demographic, and simply close the tab.
- Comment on Darkenstein 3D free on Steam 3 days ago:
Nah, I have nothing to do with this, only a happy gamer.
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 3 days ago:
Just like the good old days when sites would force you to have Internet Explorer and Flash plugin installed to work properly. Amazing.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 days ago:
There are alternatives. I bought a Lenovo direct from their site with no OS installed. The saving from not having Windows was enough to afford double the RAM.
- Comment on Darkenstein 3D free on Steam 4 days ago:
I was lazy and just copy/pasted the Steam page blurb.
- Comment on Darkenstein 3D free on Steam 4 days ago:
TIL. Thank you.

You maybe high, but you are right nonetheless.

“Oh. It’s you.”
Such a loveable heap of junk.
- Comment on The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think anyone is defending Flash used for websites, aside from some personal blog or portfolio maybe.
Yes, sorry, I just got a post-traumatic trigger when someone mentions it.

As a desktop Linux use, Flash was a pain in my existence.
That shitty plugin that never worked right in Linux because fuck Linux users, amiright?
Then whole sites were written in Flash, hurting web interoperability and degrading standards. Of course many public services, banks, followed the trend because shiny.
Fuck those dark ages. The day that shit died was a good day indeed.
I harbor hate for not many things, but Flash is one of them.
- Comment on The QNX Operating System - Quantum Software and the microkernel UNIX 2 weeks ago:
I know, I know, but I still miss it. It was just pure magic. A fast desktop in 1.44 MB. It doesn’t get better than that.
- Comment on The QNX Operating System - Quantum Software and the microkernel UNIX 2 weeks ago:
I’m still bitter that they discontinued the awesome 1.44 MB floppy disk version.
It was a little engineering marvel, that was.
- Comment on Portal and Portal 2 are 80% off 2 weeks ago:
And you get two great soundtracks in the deal. I’d call that a triumph.

No, never they are dead.

The humans are dead
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned their arses

- Comment on Hand written notes on teams sucks 4 weeks ago:
Meanwhile, copy/paste is still awfully impaired by random emoji boxes popping up, because of course I want to give a ❤️ to my boss’s Confluence url.

I’m still playing Doom, the original!

Gimme!

I feel sad that I can’t boycott these spineless cowards because I haven’t been a customer since forever.
- Comment on Michigan GOP Lawmakers Propose Total Ban on Porn 5 weeks ago:
I’m sure they were not killing each other over imaginary friends, or debating whether mammary glands should banned.
- Comment on Michigan GOP Lawmakers Propose Total Ban on Porn 5 weeks ago:
As a relatively recent country (by European standards), USA did not go through the Middle Age. I guess this is it. Enjoy the public burnings of heretics.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 1 month ago:
Honest question: if the story doesn’t matter that much to you, what do you value in a game?
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 1 month ago:
Exactly what I thought. I’ll keep my Tidal account, thank you very much.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 month ago:
If it is clear that the topic is Impressionist art, I would not go. If I buy the ticket to see Expressionism and get Impressionism instead, I would fell upset.
(Actually, I’d go either way, I love art)
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 month ago:
Regarding difficulty: I’ve lived through the 80’s, where difficulty was ramped up to make the game last longer, as you only had precious few kilobytes to fill with content. I’ve grown to hate difficult games.
It is your right as creator to go that way if you wish, but it is my right as player to hate your guts if I buy your game and it kills me over and over again in the first minutes.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 month ago:
I feel the same way. I can read really fast and get to the juice of an article faster than it takes for the YouTube video to do through the introduction, sponsors, etc.
- Comment on The longer you live, the harder it becomes. 1 month ago:
Think of it as leveling up.
