- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 days ago:
Destruction of the planet, hardly. The earth has and will shrug of worse than humanity. Thinking otherwise is giving humanity too much credit.
Destruction of humanity is more likely. We are actively making the earth worse for us, and may other species. But there are many more which will survive and thrive after we destroy ourselves.

Scroll lock still works in excel. Really annoying too since if you don’t realize it’s on and you use the arrow key you sheet scrolls fast.
- Comment on Even Xbox developer kits are getting a big price hike 1 week ago:
Thanks Tariffs
- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 1 week ago:
Rollercoaster Tycoon.
It’s just a game on a cereal box how good can it be?
25 years later…
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 week ago:
I watch Freeman’s Mind and wanted to play. Yeah totally not my cup of tea.
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 3 weeks ago:
Chrono Trigger, and finishing the games first full arc. What would normally be the end literally showed me that this game had so much more, which expanded the more I played it.
- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 5 weeks ago:
It’s on par with the NES version but omits the stair climb so you can actually finish it.
- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 5 weeks ago:
I liked the game loop.
Catch ghost upgrade weapons and accessories to help catch more ghosts.
I just gets boring after a few loops.
The Atari 2600 version is impressive though.
NES < C64 < 2600
- Comment on Finally got a Gensis (Megadrive) after years of wanting one! 5 weeks ago:
Oddball games I picked up over the years.
Jurassic Park - follows the novel which has some fun set pieces. Difficult
Toy Story - TT game, and a fun “doom” level
Zero Tolerance- FPS for genesis
Scooby Doo Mystery- unless the snes game it’s actually a point and click adventure. Very fun
- Comment on Looking to get my first 3d printer, any suggestions? 1 month ago:
Hummm, lots of good suggestions. Honestly what I would do is get something cheap that works. Then learn what your needs are.
3D Printers are a tool, and like all tools there are cheap ones which break in 30 seconds if you are actually using them. And tools which will last a lifetime but cost a fortune.
As someone who started with the (at the time) budget printer, the MonoPrice Select Mini. My suggestions are are follows.
200mm x 200mm x 200mm heated bed. This is common for printers who are clones of the i3 and isn’t hard to get cheap.
Doesn’t require proprietary software or can use open source software. Back in the day some printers would only take gcode from their proprietary slicer software. Flashforge comes to mind. But just check if what you are buying has a profile (even community made) for you slicer. Prusa and Cura are the 2 popular ones everything else is based on.
Automatic bed levelling. Whether it’s magnets like a MK3 or a touch sensor like the ender 3. So long as it can mesh bed level out of the box it’s fine. So long have I tried to dial in my printer only for it to need to be dialled in again.
Finally check Amazon or other sites for replacement parts. This is a machine and parts wear down. You don’t need to replace everything, but belts hot end assemblies, print beds and sensors are a going to break and need replacing.
For my recommendation is for a ender 3 s1 or the elegoo Neptune as they meet my spec and look fine. Though triple check with reviews
- Comment on What first emulation handheld would you recommend? 1 month ago:
When it comes to playing DS/3DS games the best hardware I found that can do it well is an iPad… or a 3DS.
No one is really focusing on making a good stylus for tablets and the iPad works well for DS games. And it has enough power to play and do everything else… except 3DS since Apple didn’t permit JIT.
3DS on the other hand is easy to mod, easy to run archived games and does everything nicely. Sure it takes time to setup, but it’s worth it.
- Comment on Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer 1 month ago:
On the one hand this is a blatant cash grab.
On the other, compared to the $1000 for Jacks Bros this is the deal of the century
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
Other than Hollow Knight (thanks Gog sale)
Metroid Fusion and dread. Picked it up and haven’t put it down
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
I went from Ryzen 1000 to intel 12000 since I need single threaded performance above all else (CAD). Plus it was a steal of a deal.
If Intel ever sorts out their drivers or it gets cheap enough I might for at 14000 chip but no further.
- Comment on Re-design my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit. Looks amazing 1 month ago:
Depends on the tripod. Being able to have something more sturdy hold it is fantastic, but since it’s juts a 1/4” adapter you can adapt it to anything.
- Comment on Re-design my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit. Looks amazing 1 month ago:
I can’t tell if I am still seeing red because I played the virtual boy too long… or if my eyes are just bleeding. I’ll check after this headache goes away
- Comment on PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor 1 month ago:
The Sims 2 recommendation is no joke. Honestly picked it up hoping it would be like he pc game. Kept it since it’s a wacky story game with aliens, cults, robots and vampires.
- Comment on PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor 1 month ago:
PixelJunk Monsters - tower defence game with a fantastic soundtrack
Patchwork hero’s - fun puzzle game where you take down giant airships
Everyday Shooter - twin stick shooter with a unique soundtrack
Persona 3 Portable - even atlus remastered this game as is.
I would also throw in GTA Vice City stories - love the story and it holds up better than liberty city stories

- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 1 month ago:
Can confirm, got PS4 for $200 (used) and most games for $10-$20 each new.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
PixelJunk Monsters 2. It was like $3 and a fantastic price for that. Not as good as the first game, but an amazing tower defence game nonetheless
- Comment on Remember to dry your filament kids 2 months ago:
Mine is just Polydryer. Keep the box low humidity keep the filament low humidity.
Need more testing to see how well this works though since swapping filament in these boxes is inefficient and the beads quickly get used before you need to reset them.
Only do this if you have money to burn, or you are doing 3d printing as a business and at scale
- Comment on Added LED's to a clear bag 2 months ago:
The material is… difficult to work with. The front pocket was the best spot for it.
- Comment on Remember to dry your filament kids 2 months ago:
It’s PETG and I’ve moved to a very wet environment. Stringing and popping and a big issue here. My last place though was a lot dryer and didn’t need this solution.
- Comment on Remember to dry your filament kids 2 months ago:
They are, Polydry box
- Comment on Remember to dry your filament kids 2 months ago:
Yup, the humidity on it is better but could be dryer.
- Comment on Remember to dry your filament kids 2 months ago:
No
