- Comment on Turok - Next-Gen Update 1 day ago:
What in the world even is this?? Was there ever a prior release on the last gen??
Also, pretty sure XSX/PS5 isn’t “next gen” anymore. They’re solidly current gen, and getting a little long in the tooth.

The addition to Game Pass is huge!
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 1 week ago:
No horizontal tab grouping. Tab groups on Chrome are perfect, and the Firefox tab extensions all suck in comparison.
That said, I’m still using Firefox today because the internet is unusable without a good ad blocker.
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 1 week ago:
How would that help here? The only thing Amazon is removing is the ability to download your purchased eBooks to your PC.

Line must go up
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 1 week ago:
Am I an idiot for enjoying my Kindle Paperwhite as an eReader, while at the same time never actually buying books from Amazon?

By my read, this spider is a bro.
- Comment on Has Bluesky’s moment arrived? 3 months ago:
For real. I use Boost and I set it to block “trump” and “musk”, which instantly made Lemmy 100x better. Probably time to add “bluesky” to that list.

This article is from like 2 years ago. Why is it being posted?
The actual new COD game is Black Ops 6.

Touch controls are better on the phone.
Personally, I prefer playing with buttons, but I’m old like that.
- Comment on Day 100 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 4 months ago:
This game is great. Every new content drop is big, and they all get my to fire it back up for a couple of weeks.

Most likely, they simply thought the machines would live long enough to be the next guy’s problem.

Well, that’s it, boys. We’ve gone full Blade Runner.
- Comment on Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps 5 months ago:
Yup. Could’ve been a future where they went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 720 to Xbox 1080 and so on. They probably got scared that some of the audience would have thought that the Xbox 720 would only do 720p, then crapped the bed.
- Comment on FTC Says Social Media Platforms Engage in 'Vast Surveillance' of Users 5 months ago:
That’s literally the sales pitch to investors, and has been for decades.
- Comment on Excel 5 months ago:
If this is a legit stacked bar chart, then the true OP has some serious dedication to the bit. Mad respect.
- Comment on Game Informer shuts down after 33 years 5 months ago:
Is there any way to read Game Internet online now (archive or whatever)?
I’d really love to check out the Vampire Survivors interview from the final issue. - Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 5 months ago:
Confirmed. The gunplay is amazing. I haven’t played for a year or two but I would jump back in today if The Final Shape included all the catch-up/prior DLC packs.
- Comment on Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs? 6 months ago:
Haha! Physical media has been “slowly going away” since before UHD existed as a format. Just keep buying whatever format you like and distributors will keep it going. Look at all the catalog titles and niche (often limited special run) titles still being added to UHD.

Fuck that jump rope moon, though.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 6 months ago:
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 6 months ago:
Unless these people paid a premium for this kind of “smart” device vs. the cost of a basic version.
- Comment on TitanFall 2 at 3$ 6 months ago:
Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

Does anyone have an alternative source where we can view the screenshots?
- Comment on Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" 7 months ago:
Are “product” (PM, PO) and “engineering” (people who write the code) one and the same where you work? Or are they separate factions?
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 8 months ago:
The extra fun part is when it starts bitching at you for filling up the cloud storage allotment that you didn’t know you were using.
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 9 months ago:
Actually true. They hooked me in the golden era of rewards points and I’ll be damned if it isn’t way better than Google now. Bing image search is especially great. Even their copilot thing (RIP Cortana) is useful.
- Comment on Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows 9 months ago:
Would it be possible to add (smoother, in some cases) integration with music services? Imagine one library that could reach into Spotify, Tidal, etc. all in one player.

Hey, hey, now! It doesn’t just write full emails from merely a single sentence… it also summarizes full emails down to one sentence on the other end.
