Steam, Spotify, Discord. Whoops, all Chromium.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 3 weeks ago:
I would challenge you to find a modern automobile manufacturer who doesn’t make their logo huge and illuminated. Also, you can no longer remove them, as they’re often now build into the body-work or frame.
- Comment on Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces 4 weeks ago:
Selective quoting is basically lying.
The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak. Intelsat declared the satellite a total loss in April 2019, later attributing it to either a micrometeoroid strike or solar weather activity.
With the context of the quote, I"m curious what the pattern you’ve identified is.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
As a “3 hour a week dad” who has managed to rack up 150 hours of this game, it’s a lot of fun. But it’s also insufferable when they release updates that cause rag-dolling to launch you all over the map, and new enemies that are just completely bugged out.
From a 400k player base at the start to <25k now, I’m convinced they’re actively trying to hurt the game to lower server costs. And why would they care? Each of those 400k players already paid their $50 for the game. And it’s not like the new DLC is any good. The snow-armour that didn’t help sliding on ice, and the fire armour that came with a fire-nerf.
It’s fun, but don’t go in expecting the same game every week. Chances are they’ll nerf your favourite weapon in the interest of “balance”, then ask for more money.

- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 7 months ago:
Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.
15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 7 months ago:
Do not look away from screen while ad is playing, or playback will be paused for 5 minutes for first offense.
- Comment on Amazon — like SpaceX — is the latest company to claim the U.S. labor board is unconstitutional, after receiving numerous labor complaints from employees 8 months ago:
A 200+ year old document which was designed and written deliberately to ensure that no one amassed too much power, and is now complicating individuals amassing too much power.

Everyone: fucking what?

- Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea 11 months ago:
The term you’ll get more mileage out of here is Luddite.
The looms are stealing our jobs, so we should organize against them.

I love retcons for wardrobe malfunctions. I hope they explain why Riker needed such short sleeves in First Contact 😂
