Wow, truly a rare W for EA. I’m curious if this was expected, or otherwise in the works for a while before release.

There is no danger of such a thing growing and consuming everything like an expanding katamari damacy ball.
Damn.

- Comment on The death of capital letters: why gen Z loves lowercase 1 week ago:
Influential artists such as Billie Eilish, 23, have reinforced this aesthetic, using lowercase in song or album titles such as don’t smile at me or my future.
don’t smile at me or my future.
- Comment on Rumor: GTA Roleplay Server FiveM Victim Of Hostile Takeover - And One Of Rockstar's Own Is Involved 1 week ago:
This is only speculation on my part, but it makes no sense to buy FiveM this late into the game’s lifecycle and not use the existing system for the next game. At the very least, if significant changes need to be made, there’s already a framework there to build on. If they shut down FiveM with the release of GTA6, that’s just opening the door for someone else to build a new system to replace it.
But I don’t run a corporation and am not exclusively motivated by short-term profits.
- Comment on Is there something I can do about it? [Phalaenopsis orchid] 1 week ago:
My understanding is that leaves don’t “go back.” Once a leaf starts yellowing, the best case scenario is that you have a yellow leaf. You can correct deficiencies or overdoses for future leaves, and prevent existing leaves from turning, but you can’t fix the ones that have already changed.
- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 1 week ago:
Segmented runs make sense in some games, but probably not something like Diablo.
Super Metroid, for example, has a lot of segmented runs between save stations. It’s a lot harder to put together a record-setting non-segmented run than it is to perfect all the segments individually. You lose precious seconds going to save stations, but you save some RNG and mistakes don’t spoil an entire run.

- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s First Network Test Plagued by Server Issues, FromSoftware Issues Apology 2 weeks ago:
Network test where nobody can manage to queue with other people :/
A network test showing that the testing was required.
If you sign up for a network test, you have to be expecting issues like this.

Because it’s really effective at diagnosing many issues, and it takes about 10 grams of filament to print.

I think they meant a piece of glass. Looks like what would go on top of the cheese drawer in the fridge.
- Comment on Smolderin station recommendation 4 weeks ago:
You can use the Pinecil to solder a new wire onto itself!
- Comment on Smolderin station recommendation 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, one of those tiny barrel jacks. But it doesn’t come with an AC adapter, so you have to find one that matches.
- Comment on Smolderin station recommendation 4 weeks ago:
The Pinecil is nice for small projects and accurate work because of its size. It heats up in just a few seconds, and fits nicely in the hand. It’s USB powered, so you need a USB-C PD power source to run it, ideally with a long enough cable that it won’t get in your way.
If I had a need for frequent soldering, I would get one of the high-power models with a small pen, or at least one with a better cable. I like the Pinecil a lot, it’s really good at what I need out of it, but I think it needs some work before it becomes a good professional tool.
- Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement 5 weeks ago:
It would be nice if we could see that kind of information
- Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement 5 weeks ago:
Its ranking has dropped by 44 spots on Steam’s top sellers list. Unless the sales numbers of everything else have shot up significantly, that implies that sales of the Steam Deck have gone down. I don’t know how significant it is because I don’t know how the rankings are done, but it’s a pretty big drop for a 2-week period.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549) 1 month ago:
Actually AMD has said they’re ditching their high end options
Which means there’s no more competition in the high-end range. AMD was lagging behind Nvidia in terms of pure performance, but the price/performance ratio was better. Now they’ve given up a segment of the market, and consumers lose out in the process.
- Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates 1 month ago:
The NDP is unfortunately not a real contender in the federal elections. There’s no “choice between the NDP and the Conservatives.” They have zero chance of winning an election, but at least they can win enough seats to matter.

- Comment on VPN connections keep getting blocked 2 months ago:
I use Surfshark as well and have your problem 1, as I assume most VPN users do, but not your problem 2. My connection and speeds seem pretty stable, even allowing me to max out my connection many hours later.
Perhaps the issue is which server you’re connecting to.

- Comment on Help me identify a filament's material 3 months ago:
Brass nozzles are cheap. Cheaper than a length of purge filament. But if you’re using a specialty nozzle, it can certainly be worth a good purge before throwing out an otherwise fine nozzle.
- Comment on Help me identify a filament's material 3 months ago:
Could be some sort of purge filament. They’re meant to be run at high temperatures and forced through the nozzle so that they can flush out any leftover material stuck inside.

Google is trying to pick and choose who to filter out of results.
