- Comment on AI-powered vending machines that sell bullets could be hacked, says a cybersecurity expert 4 days ago:
All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.
- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 5 days ago:
People who don’t like Palworld, maybe give a real reason? The AI stuff was made up by a salty troll who admitted later he made it up. It being “legally distinct from pokémon” isn’t a good enough reason. It having the ability to ::: spoiler Spoiler butcher your Pals for resources ::: may be a reason to be upset about the gameplay, but then again, many, many, many RPGs have you culling the local wildlife and depopulating a nation for quests too. Neither is the Genshin Impact art style a reason to hate it. That’s just JRPG asthetics.

- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
Turns out vehicle simulations are hard. You either have games that play like a cabinet arcade or require a “simmer” setup (control cockpit) to really be good at.
And then there’s the work that goes into the level of detail. Example, Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t even have the underside of most cars modelled, to save on polys and performance, but there’s still a lot of little details that have to be modelled, textured, and sound recorded. This is even more important when a driving game goes into VR, because you will notice when something in the interior is missing or offmodel.
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 3 weeks ago:
There’s another post above that explains why. Basically it’s a monopoly on anime streaming, and they’ve done a popular voice actor dirty by intercepting his mail, which opening someone else’s mail without permission is a federal crime, especially since they legit stole what was in the packages.

If you can make modulars out of concrete instead of balsa wood that would be great. Otherwise, bring on the shipping container houses…

- Comment on Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
The irony is, the top world record runs on Trackmania (a not-a-hot-wheels track time trial driving game) tracks are done by keyboard drivers. Driving a high performance car on a crazy, loop-de-loopy jumps and bumps and speed boosters tracks is quickest with … WASD controls.

I’ve had the best experience with the Philips LED lights, and secondly, the GE lights. I’ve seen some here say IKEA as well are good. Others just are too cheaply made and fail quickly.
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 1 month ago:
While I’ve has a Philips fail, it was due to environmental reasons. Otherwise, Philips bulbs have lasted me literal years for hours every day.
