Nic Cage is like Tom Cruise: he just plays as himself in every film and somehow it works.
- Comment on Nepal decides to ban TikTok 1 year ago:
Why? I love Shorts! Takes me back to the days of early YouTube, when not everything had to be a 30+ minute video and you could still discover small unknown channels just from browsing. Shorts is the best thing to happen to YouTube since they added HD support back in 2010.
Please explain yourself.

People love to say this but it literally doesn’t bother me at all.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
It was the adblocker setting in Enhancer. Turned it off and problem solved, so thank you.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
I never did but my girlfriend did. We both use Ublock Origin in Firefox in the same house. I absolutely cannot seem to bypass the message even after updating her filters and purging the caches, but on my PC it’s like Google never implemented the policy. I don’t understand it.
- Comment on Best of both worlds 1 year ago:
Looked it up and that a damn good TV. Never get rid of it.
Couldn’t find the HDMI version number but it’s probably 1.2, which is new enough that it shouldn’t cause any issues, even with something modern like a PS5.
I’m envious.
- Comment on Best of both worlds 1 year ago:
Which version of HDMI, though? (You can find out if you search for the model number.) That can limit what you can plug into it — mostly with newer stuff — if it’s an old enough version.
- Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing? 1 year ago:
Also phones get so many notifications these days that the light has mostly lost its meaning. Last time I had a phone with one was around 2018 and the light was pretty much blinking at all times.
- Comment on GTA 6 has patented a new locomotion system to make "highly dynamic and realistic animations" 1 year ago:
I don’t know how old you are, but I feel like younger people say this more often than older people.
As someone who saw the transition from 8-bit in their childhood, all the way to today, graphics were everything in the 80s all the way until at least the 2000s. Each new generation was leaps and bounds better than the last; I remember the discussions in the playground being centered around graphics every time a new console was announced.
Nowadays we have incremental updates at best, so now people care less and less about graphics like they used to. Not me, though. I’m still a graphics slut and an absolute whore for path traced games. I’ll play a game I don’t enjoy if it has the latest in graphics tech.

Could be autism. My gf does the same shit. Completely incapable of reading between the lines. Everything is taken literally.
- Comment on For some reason, I'm doubtful. 1 year ago:
It actually was a good concept cause you’d get a massive discount on a new PC by signing up for the subscription program. The only thing “scummy” about it was the way it was marketed.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
Well the game is out and luckily the rumors weren’t true.
With a medium-density city, I get about 40 FPS @ 4K in the sequel. With the same-sized city, I used to get 20 FPS in the original, so twice the FPS is a massive improvement IMO. But people are still salty cause we live in a world where anything less than 60 FPS @ 1440p is unacceptable. Which is stupid as fuck cause you don’t need 240+ FPS in a city-building game with next to no action in it that would require such a high framerate.
- Comment on There once was a programmer 1 year ago:
I haven’t been in web development in over 20 years; thanks to ChatGPT, I was able to get up-to-speed and start building websites again, when in the past I would have never been able to do so.
GPT is a powerful tool that can allow anyone to do anything if they’re willing to put in the effort. We should be praising it, not making fun of it. It’s as revolutionary as the internet itself.

- Comment on Internet archive is library of alexandria of our time 1 year ago:
Why not? That’s exactly what physical libraries do. Why should it be any different for a library that so happens to be on the internet?

I live in a normal place and 5:20am is a regular time for the sun to rise.
- Comment on How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose? 1 year ago:
I do this in the shower. Take a couple of fat rails off the showerhead and my nose is feeling hydrated.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Quite the opposite, actually. Because of AI, I got back into web development for the first time in 20 years. I’d never be able to figure out the new stuff like HTTPS and DDoS protection on my own if it weren’t for ChatGPT’s help. It got me up to speed on HTML5, and helped me remember how PHP and Javascript work, all within a couple of days. Would have taken months otherwise.
You should be using AI as a tool to expand your creativity, not feel hindered by it.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
You could fix it somewhat with mods, by forcing cars to take specific lanes. Didn’t solve the problem, but it helped. Can’t wait to try the new traffic AI in the sequel.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
This article on their website goes into detail on exactly how they’re planning on fixing the traffic issues. The AI will actually change lanes this time!

Why not? The constant updates are what kept me playing for so many years!

The ugly little pedophile is so out of touch.

Nope. Every other post worked just fine.
Site probably went temporarily down cause it’s working now.

I know, right? Millennial, here. I eat out more often than I cook. I should probably be doing what the Zoomers are.
- Comment on Intel’s new 14th Gen CPUs arrive on October 17th with up to 6GHz out of the box 1 year ago:
I remember when chips first hit 1GHz around 1999. Tech magazines were claiming that we’d hit 7GHz in 5 years.
What they failed to predict is that you start running into major heat issues if you try to go past ~3GHz. Which is why CPU manufacturers started focusing on other ways to improve performance, such as multiple cores and better memory management.
