- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 5 days ago:
Any of the Naughty Dog games fulfill this criteria, especially the Uncharted games. They are mostly linear, all about exploration and combat, and very little fluff.
Indiana Jones & The Great Circle is pretty good too. You don’t unlock skills or abilities through experience but rather through finding books throughout the maps. The maps themselves are not too large and worth exploring.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 2 weeks ago:
FWIW, I’ve been using ublock origin, too, and it’s mostly worked fine.
Until a few days ago, when Youtube started detecting it and showing down the site and telling me I can only watch 3 more videos before it cuts me off. That hasn’t happened yet, but I definitely feel the slowdown. I’m hoping a ublock upgrade will fix it soon.

Just out of curiosity, how many of them are brown? Did you get a chance to see how they behave with brown people?
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 months ago:
It’s not racist.
If you paint an entire population with the brush of the experience/anecdote of one person, that’s generalization.
But this thread is NOT doing that. This thread is only asking people to share their experiences of places they have visited and people they found to be friendly. It is not meant to pass judgement on everyone from that place.

Are you white?
- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 2 months ago:
BG3 is definitely one of those games with good (even great) voice acting. But there are more of them out there.
RDR2 has some of the best writing and acting performances I’ve ever encountered in a game. The Last of Us is in a similar vein. The Uncharted series has some of my favourite voice acting, especially Claudia Black (Chloe) and of course Nolan North (Nathan).
Claudia Black also voices Morrigan in Dragon Age Origins, which is chock full of stellar voice performances. I’d argue that Dragon Age 2 and even Inquisition had some memorable performances but The Veilguard sucked.
- Comment on I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) 3 months ago:
I agree. I’m a pretty happy Firefox user. I am not a power-user of tabs anyway, I try to keep my open tabs to a minimum.

This is just a list of browsers with apparently good tab management.

I believe India is following your approach, asking ISPs to block certain websites, mainly porn. Or at least, they were. I’m not sure what else they’re planning now.
- Comment on Just started playing Life is Strange 3 months ago:
Just out of curiosity, how old are you now? I played the game when I was already in my 30s and I still enjoyed it, though some aspects of the culture and hipster lifestyle it depicts didn’t resonate with me. If it’s not hipster lifestyle that’s being depicted in the game, it just goes to show the age gap between the game’s protagonists and me, I guess.
