- Comment on Rural counties ask Gov. Hochul to slow down on renewable energy projects 1 day ago:
Because they know nuclear will never be approved, and so the status quo remains.
- Comment on Doom (2016) now DRM free on GOG 5 days ago:
SnapMap is a built-in map editor. It lets you build simple maps made of prefab rooms. It’s clunky and very limited. Really nothing particularly interesting considering the history of OG Doom’s decades-old fan-made map scene.

This guy makes one of these posts a day. Is that what you call flooding?
- Comment on What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)? 1 week ago:
Some of them are popular enough to have 100k concurrent viewers. Some have had multiple stalkers and threats on their lives. When they go out and do IRL streams, they have to hire security.
The average person may not know who they are, but all it takes is one coincidence to put their lives at risk.

There’s also a difference between some 100 viewer Andy on Twitch, and someone like Kai Cenat or Pokimane or xQc. Those are some recognizable names and faces, and they take precautions about this stuff. They have assistants and other staff that nobody would ever recognize.

Streamers often have food dropped off at their door, so even if the delivery driver knew of the streamer they were delivering to, they wouldn’t know that’s who they’re dropping the food off for.
Big streamers are paranoid enough to take extra security measures to prevent anyone from knowing where they live, and usually move away pretty quickly if someone finds out.

It doesn’t do it natively, but it does have plugins for CAD features

More important than who you choose not to give your money to is who you do choose to give it to.
- Comment on Need opinions on screw types from someone with experience 2 weeks ago:
I know it’s overkill, but it’s for specific dimensions, so I’m trying to find the simplest solution. I may go for 2x4 for the cross bars, it’s probably fine, and I can double up on them if feel the need for more strength.
The only 8 foot pallets I ever see are made to be lifted from the long end, and they can’t take a jack under the short end. Otherwise, that would be simpler, and I would just need to line something up under the feet to make sure they’re sully supported.

They only need to get lucky once.
- Comment on Need opinions on screw types from someone with experience 2 weeks ago:
I get that 4x4 might be overkill, but the feet on these machines are 3.5" wide, so I can’t realistically put them on the narrow end of a 2x4. I’m also ok with overkill since I’m shipping 4 machines worth at least 100k each.
I also can’t lift the pallet width-wise since it needs to get through a door that is exactly 8 feet wide. We’ll be moving it slowly with two jacks, or a jack and some kind of dolly for the other end.

It’s the year 200X, life extending technology has been around for at least X years by then.

- Comment on Best way to prevent Bambu A1 mini from updating firmware? 3 weeks ago:
Your router probably has a firewall you can set to just block all internet access to your printer’s IP. You’d have to make sure you let it access the home network if you want to send files remotely to it.
Alternatively, routers nowadays have a guest network. You may be able to disable internet access to the guest network and connect the printer to it. You would have to temporarily connect your host device to the guest network to send your files to print, which can be annoying.

Do not use bait traps, those just attract more wasps. Fake hives are somewhat effective at deterring wasps.
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon let you know why your PC hardware sucks: Windows 11 will be able to explain why your PC needs more RAM and a better GPU. 5 weeks ago:
What games should do is tell you the impact that settings have on performance. Just a text blurb that mentions how significantly you can expect a setting to matter. I’ve seen it in a few games where some settings are marked with something like heavy performance penalty but it would be nice for more things to be labeled.
Looking at something like the task manager will tell you your CPU or GPU is maxed out, but how do you know what to change to correct this? Can you just change a few barely-noticeable settings, or are you expected to replace your CPU? If the recommended is CPU X, then why is my CPU Y maxed out? If I exceed the recommended build, why is my performance so bad?
Often the recommended build is not enough to max out graphics at reasonable framerates, for example.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 5 weeks ago:
I’m still surprised how well received it was, not because I disagree, but just because of the numbers. It’s currently sitting at 95% positive ratings on Steam, and that’s with 229k reviews, for a game that plays so different from what gamers expected out of FromSoft.

I haven’t bought an HDD in a long time, but is the drive’s packaging itself not designed for shipping? The last one I bought had a ton of empty space and shock-absorbing packaging inside the box.

There was a podcast recently with the guy who built the SNES port, it was pretty interesting.
- Comment on A look back at the Killer instinct arcade game and the confusion around the Ultra 64 1 month ago:
Doom was pretty nuts. They managed to fit 22 out of 27 levels into half the space of the PC version as well. Obviously it wasn’t a 1:1 port, but they did amazing work considering the limitations.
- Comment on Jackbox Games coming to Smart TVs for free 1 month ago:
It’s also entirely possible that you can’t host any of the games. If the host owns the game, anyone else can play for free through a browser. It could just be access to the jackbox.tv website from the TV itself.
- Comment on A look back at the Killer instinct arcade game and the confusion around the Ultra 64 1 month ago:
It’s still insane to me how well they managed to port Killer Instinct to the SNES. Considering the hardware limitations, the port was insane and played incredibly close to the arcade version.
- Comment on France opposes seizing frozen Russian assets: minister 1 month ago:
This is fucking stupid, and implies Macron is compromised
I’m not saying he’s not, but breaking the law is breaking the law. They’ve been put in place for a reason.
Personally, I don’t have an issue with the seizure of Russian assets, but it sets a bad example to make a law and then break it yourself. At that point, why have the law? They could probably get rid of it if it’s a legitimate impediment to what they want to do.

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

Damn.
