It took me a second. I don’t really care for “spectrum” being universally used to represent specifically the autism spectrum. Obviously there are other spectrums, most everything can probably be defined by a spectrum.
- Comment on As a word of caution for those buying physical used games on Bluray, check the disc for holes. 5 days ago:
I know it may not be the most legal conversation, but how best can one back up physical games? It has been a long, long time since I last looked into it.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 2 weeks ago:
At this point, it’s sounding more and more like a social experiment.

Surely that must mean they don’t need to raise their prices anymore, right?
Right?

- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 1 month ago:
To be fair, I’m pretty sure that’s how PS5 handled that scenario even before this update.
- Comment on Loops by Pixelfed • Launching in a week 1 month ago:
I’m actually interested to see how this does so I’ve been following it.
As someone who enjoyed the brief comet that was Vine but despises TikTok, this feels like a throw back to that.
Of course, I’d be delusional if I said that wasn’t hopeful thinking.

I’ve heard good things. I’ve been watching for it to go on sale.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 2 months ago:
+1 for Populous.
But my answer to this every time is Red Faction (1, specifically. While I did enjoy Guerrilla, I want to see a throw back to more fully destructible environments on next gen tech).

Oh no you didn’t.

Just fyi, I saw this posted in the announcements channel of their Discord server that you can join from the game’s main menu.

- Comment on Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse 3 months ago:
I would love to see more movement on an open source mouse. I know there are some options out there but it seems like nothing has really stuck.
With 3d printing and the RP2040, these should be more abundant.
I’m sure it probably comes down to the sensors available, but I’d love for someone like Adafruit to offer options.
- Comment on Llama 3.1 AI Models Have Officially Released 3 months ago:
My impression is the general consensus is we don’t want huge corporations stealing data to train their AI models only to turn around and cram it down our throats anywhere they can with increasingly negative experiences. That being said, while I would generally agree with that, I still find it interesting and especially if I can host it myself.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
Alternatively
Game Publishers: Release unfinished game that gets horrid backlash until they work overtime to patch it to a slightly more playable hell, get caught in an update loop, game inadvertantly becomes live service.
Sometimes, it works out (No Man’s Sky)
- Comment on Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser 4 months ago:
You could say “I’m thirsty” and though not explicitly asking a question, someone might still offer you a beverage as a solution, for which you would probably be thankful.

Yeah, I was thinking more like a tangled knot of DNA. Which would be a good username.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 7 months ago:
A lot of people are focusing on the D&D part but honestly what the people really want is for any and all studios to take the time they need so they can release non-buggy, higher quality games.
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 7 months ago:
I mean that’s already happening at some big companies now.
Will it last? My guess is no, but they’ll enjoy saving the money that they would pay human beings in the mean time.
My hope is just that they’ll suffer losses due to a drop in product quality and start struggling, but let’s face it, the big tech companies are almost never the ones’ that are actually hurt by their decisions.
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 8 months ago:
Gotcha, but even in that case, what’s convincing most of those average users from picking a different browser? The logo? “Ooh pretty lion?”
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 8 months ago:
I was a bit confused too. So all that’s changed is a specific splash screen during new phone setup prompting the user to pick a default browser?

- Comment on All of the 90s cats are dead. 8 months ago:
I’m so sorry.
One of my childhood dogs started having seizures until one night she started seizing and just never stopped. We laid her in the laundry basket with towels and I gently held her down so she didn’t thrash too hard to further hurt herself.
My dad called the vet to see if they could have her put down ASAP. They said they couldn’t, but it was well after hours though. I probably sat there for 3-4 hours or so myself until finally my dad just told me to go to bed and he’d take her in the morning. I even offered to put her down myself because, I mean fuck. I couldn’t just sit there and watch her struggle let alone imagine how she felt. We tried to do whatever we could to help ease her pain/passing including crushing up a muscle relaxer with water and syringing it into her mouth. I would have tried anything.
I don’t know when I feel asleep but it was hard not to hear an occasional sound even through probably 2-3 closed doors and down a flight of stairs.
- Comment on Paying people to work on open source is good actually 8 months ago:
At my work, I can be probably safely assume there is no such budget and in fact open source projects are actively used to create our own branded products (that may or may not be exclusively used internally).
You probably only need a few guesses at where I work.
