“If that were true, I’d be trying even harder to make you take it.”
- Comment on What do you have to wake up to to be considered a heavy/light/normal sleeper? 2 weeks ago:
Mirroring what others have said, often even heavy sleepers have sounds there sensitive to that wake them up immediately. I had someone crash on my couch one night. I knew they had to be up in the morning for work, so I set an alarm for myself to make sure they got up too (this is right around when smartphones were starting to become a thing, and it wasn’t really common to have alarms set on your phone, hence why I was going through the extra effort for them). I woke up and went over to try and wake them up. First it was a soft nudge in the shoulder, then a harder one, then a shake, then grabbing them by both shoulders and aggressively shaking them. I literally stopped to check their breathing and make sure they hadn’t died on me. My roommate came out during this and was also laughing and wondering if they had died. I really had to use the restroom, so said I was going to do that and then come back and give it another go. While I’m in there, I hear their phone go off and my roommate starts laughing hysterically. Apparently as soon as the tone went off on their phone, they sat upright, wide awake.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn’t bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don’t remember at this point).
- Comment on Prince of Persia remake apparently still on track for 2026, per Ubisoft 2 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you’re talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what’s so surprising to me.

Highly recommend Technology Connections for anyone interested in easy to understand, relatable breakdown videos of technology.

It looks like it has nothing to do with Plague Tale.

Fantastic speech! So happy I decided to watch it!
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 2 months ago:
My advice: Practice going over other people’s code with a fine-tooth comb looking for bad architecture, flaws and inefficiencies.
I agree. Funny story, I wasn’t allowed to do code reviews at my current job for about 2 years because they thought my comb was too fine. Suddenly software quality is something they are really valuing and they’re allowing me to do code reviews again. Funny, that.

As a developer, I literally laughed hard enough to choke a little.
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 3 months ago:
Seconding Dying Light and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.
- Comment on Netflix culls staff at Oxenfree developer Night School Studio 4 months ago:
I didn’t realize that Netflix actually bought the studio. I just thought they licensed the game or something.
- Comment on Infamous vs Prototype | 15 Years Later 5 months ago:
Ghost of Tsushima felt the same to me. Great characters and a beautiful world, but the gameplay felt bland. I was happy to finally get to the end because I didn’t have to play anymore.

- Comment on In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea 8 months ago:
It uses AI to rearrange and resize content when you are printing from the internet. The example is pretty compelling, but doesn’t make up for everything else HP does.
