• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alister McGee’s Alice. Pretty much a horror version of Alice in Wonderland, and it’s a platformer with trippy graphics. I thought it was pretty fun.

  I play around with the paid version of chatgpt and I still don’t have any practical use for it. it’s just a toy at this point.

  The combustion product isn’t likely to be a carcinogen. Safer to use indoors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deactivating Facebook for just a few weeks reduces belief in fake news⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Deleted my account in 2017. Cambridge analytica scandal was what got me to go. An account on FB is a liability.

  It won’t be needed because nobody will have a job to pay for it. I forsee kurt vonnegut’s book “Player Piano” on steroids.

  Ah yes another social media platform taking the first steps in the enshitification process.

  I just hope something can be done with the empty structures. Turning them into housing is easier said than done for many buildings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s only 24 hours in a day and I have plenty of things to do other than watch commercial-plagued programming on Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty easy to not own a Ubisoft game. Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry series are pretty boring IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a video service, it’s a pile of poo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all of them do that. There are growth stocks and dividend stocks. Growth stocks typically don’t pay dividends, but instead reinvest the dividend back into the company. Amazon, Alphabet and Berkshire Hathaway don’t pay dividends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Too late, I wouldn’t trust Unity from this point on. Spend tons of time and effort only to have it all yanked away. Screw that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  After over a decade of giving up on physical media, I’m now back to collecting it primarily because of this major issue with streaming services.
