I hear that Captain Kirrahe is a bit of a cloaca.

And talking in absolutes without looking for nuance is not mature nor does it use any form of critical thinking.

Your mistake is thinking it’s a hive mind in the first place. People argue on here all the same as they did on Reddit. The only things the fediverse provides us is avoiding a highly commercialized forum, freedom of app choice, and controls in what instances we accept communication with. Probably some other major things, but those are my top three.
Just stop yelling into an obvious echo chamber and find communities you’re more aligned with.
- Comment on Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake | VGC 1 month ago:
Yeah literally the only IP I’d even consider giving my money to Ubi for. The only other one I have been at least lukewarm interested in is BG&E2 but the problems there are it’ll never release, and they’ve completely missed the mark on what fans have wanted this entire time.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 1 month ago:
I’ll take half credit! Lol. It’s ridiculous in the best ways. I still have no idea how much longer we have on our playthrough but it is a pretty long game… Or we suck, which is very plausible.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 1 month ago:
Abiotic Factor has been a blast with a friend. I don’t play a lot of survival games (I prefer more narrative than most offer, and Grounded was a great one for that) and this one doesn’t take itself very seriously (you craft weapons and armor from general office supplies a lot of the time… I’ve never been so excited to find a cache of staplers).
May want to turn the difficulty down if she gets overwhelmed easily, as while they majority of the game is pretty manageable, there are the occasional hard fight.

- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 2 months ago:
Yep. Already did at home and I still need Windows at work. I may get to that point eventually but not there yet myself. When it’s time for a hardware refresh for me, I think I’ll push for Linux and see if I can work on ways to roll it out elsewhere too. I really need to find a way to manage it in a similar way to Group Policy, but haven’t looked into it too much yet.
- Comment on MySQL users be warned: git commits in mysql-server significantly declined 2025 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t say there’s anything bad about Nginx, but for a reverse proxy, Caddy just makes things so much easier since certificate issuance and management is the most frustrating thing about hosting web sites. At work, I pushed us to Caddy and we have 301 certificates running on it currently and it has zero issues with it. The other guys love how hands off it is too, especially now that I moved us to using Postgres for its storage.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 2 months ago:
Sure, but my point is that the purchase isn’t why this happened. It’s huge stretch to say that, we’re way past the teething stages here and it’s been a Microsoft product for a long time now. No love lost for Microsoft by me, I’m full-time on Linux anyhow so it’s not like I’m defending them or something absurd.
GitHub themselves have gotten to be a big company and big companies make heavy-handed and controversial decisions on their own. Maybe GitHub is the baddie is all I’m trying to say here.

So they waited 7 years to do the ban? You know that happened in 2018, right?

Lol yes. I knew what OP meant and assumed they were right and went with it.
- Comment on The Rise Of Fake Casio Scientific Calculators 2 months ago:
The best part about using an RPM calculator (I also had an HP) was that if someone asked if they could borrow it, I could tell them that if they call do 1+1 and get 2 on it, they could use it. No one ever was successful.
RPM is great though, it’s so fast if you could quickly organize the order of operations.

- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 months ago:
I’m not talking about this particular article, I’m talking about the sentiment of wanting to shut off the conversation about those topics you mentioned. Like I said, do what you have to do and take care of your own mental health. I assume that if you were only talking about reposting of this article you’d not have mentioned your whole list of topics.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 months ago:
Yes, please just hide these. We ignoring these issues at large is how we got to where we’re at and it’ll continue getting worse if we just stop talking about it. But you need to do what you can to take of yourself, first and foremost.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 months ago:
I agree with your sentiment, but this needs to keep being said and said and said like we’re shouting into the void until the ignorant masses finally hear it.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 2 months ago:
Lol fair. Trust me, I know enough about being a fanboy myself for games I felt deserved better ratings. Again, no problem with them at all, I’ve loved a handful of their games, like Grounded. Haven’t played 2 yet, but my previous friend group had some fallout last year so I’ll have to see who I’m playing that with.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 2 months ago:
I’m not saying they’re unable to. Are you purposely trying to miss the point? Crushing a lithium battery is a bad fucking idea. Explosively bad fucking idea. What I’m trying to tell you is that yes they can push them out of the way, but literally ramming them should not be done. Which is what I’ve been saying the entire time. A fire engine has the ability to push these cars from idle with zero effort and would be less likely to damage the batteries. But that’s not what the OP of this thread was saying, they said they’d like to go demolition derby, which would be to hit these things at speed.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 2 months ago:
Are they really underrated? Not throwing any shade, but every time I see them mentioned it’s because people are praising the hell out of them. I also agree that there’s very few games they’ve had their hands on that has been less than stellar, so I have a hard time saying they’re actually underrated. They’ve been pretty steadily a mark of excellence.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 2 months ago:
Afaik, no they haven’t. Everything I’ve seen said they’re on lithium.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 2 months ago:
Lol this is a “can/should” argument here. Just because they CAN ram the car doesn’t mean they should. Crushing damage to batteries in EVs can be insanely costly. I wasn’t exaggerating by the 10x-30x needed water for extinguishing an EV vs ICE.

K.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 months ago:
No, objectively right. You can quantify the overall appeal very easily. It was the top user-rated game on MetaCritic EVER, had critical acclaim, obviously won many awards despite this AI debacle in the IGAs, sold over 5 million copies already even though it was on GamePass, and has maintained a fan gathering all these many months later even before they won at the TGAs.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 2 months ago:
Yeah, “push” rather than ram. Lithium fires take 10-30x more water than a conventional fire, something that firefighters are wary of containing.
