- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 4 days ago:
I like to read the comments left by people/“people” on these types of websites, and all those comments were basically saying that this is a little overstepping since “there is plenty of competition” i.e. Xbox and Nintendo.
One of them even said something about “imagine DRM on like your tractor” or something like that, and boy howdy do I wish I didn’t have to create an account to comment back, “Like John Deere…?”
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 1 week ago:
This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

Amen.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I had it on PC and while there were plenty of bugs, I still beat it before patch 1.06 or whatever came out. Still had quite a lot of fun!
Now, the console releases on the other hand… yikes man. Yikes…

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.
- Comment on Day 309 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I’ve always started with the Dark Brotherhood (it’s my favorite quest line in the Elder Scrolls games), so by the time I get to the Fighter’s Guild, it feels pretty lackluster.
Maybe that won’t be an issue for you though, hopefully!
Cheers! :)

Hey, Atticus! Good to see you playing one of the games that really opened my eyes to PC gaming!
I do believe the painting is the Count himself, and like StoveTop said, maybe supposed to be way before he became a vampire, or made to not look like one!
I’m about to finish up the Fighter’s Guild questline, and then for the main game, all I will have left is the story mode. After that, I can finally do my favorite part, The Shivering Isles!
Love to see people enjoy this “classic”! (my knees cracked typing that one, oof.)
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 5 weeks ago:
Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.
Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup
Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

Thank you!
I see that it has a container image for use. TrueNAS Scale has given me some issues before, but since it is being recommended, I will give it a go!

2009scape is wonderful for those like me who need to scratch that RuneScape itch without a subscription. The fact I can play it off of a USB is testament to itself how incredibly awesome you guys are. Thank you for the project, sincerely. :')
- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 2 months ago:
Kingdom Hearts 3 Toy Story world looked damn close to the original, so I’d assume maybe if work was put into it?
- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 2 months ago:
White collar crime is always ignored as long as it doesn’t rock the boat too much or isn’t stealing money from the wealthy.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 3 months ago:
Bought a Roku back in 2020 or 2021 because the Apple TV was more expensive.
Now I know why.
For what it is worth, I have Roku set up as a REGEX in my Pi-hole so for the most part, any of this nonsense is completely blocked on my Roku.
Needless to say, I shouldn’t have to do this shit with a device I paid for and mainly use for Plex streaming.
- Comment on MMO scholar puts a $500 bounty on old versions of RuneScape as part of a community archive project: "You might have ALL of the game's lost versions!" 3 months ago:
I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!
Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.

- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 3 months ago:
Yeah, the firmware lock is some crazy bullshit. My old job was dissolved which means I get to have a perfectly usable iMac but… oh wait. I can’t do anything with it because of the firmware lock and I can’t return it because the company literally shuttered. So, I keep it for the day that MAYBE I will be able to use it. LOL

It’s okay! Mac is actually really funny in their sarcasm. They’ve been around for awhile, and this is their schtick. They talk like Trump or MAGAts would for the satire. :)

Same here. I am just so happy to see something different in the browser space. Couldn’t come at a better time!

It’s also not fully open source, but on the FAQ page for Orion there is a mention that they are working on it!

I like to play rom hacks, and sure enough, most of them want you to join their Discord to get information about any upcoming updates or what the mod author is making next. I hate it to absolute death.

- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 months ago:
I believe I saw where you hear that people want small phones, they make them, and then they sell poorly. So, to the company at least, it doesn’t look like people want the smaller devices.
Now, I saw some comments in here about the smaller devices usually being less robust than their normal/pro counterparts, and that could also be a major reason small phones don’t sell.
- Comment on Help me selfhosted, I'm in over my head! 3 months ago:
Hey, OP! I was recently gifted a desktop PC, with one spare drive, and 2 drives I had in storage for “bad sectors”. I popped the old ones in (because I have a backup) and downloaded and installed TrueNAS Scale.
TrueNAS’ web UI is BEAUTIFUL and very informative at a glance. What I was NOT prepared for, was the permissions. Like you, I started out with a Synology, because I didn’t know anything. It did what it needed to do, and that was fine. I use Plex and Jellyfin, and the new desktop had a 1660 Super in it, so you bet your ass I wanted to put that to use!
TrueNAS isn’t as easy as Synology, and like I said, the permissions thing really threw me for a loop because of how the wording on things is. To me, it isn’t in english so to speak. I learned a few tricks here and there, so if you need any help, feel free to reach out and I’ll try to help! :)

Can someone recommend a VPN that is GUI like Proton VPN for Linux? Email I’ve seen plenty of so the options are fresh on the mind. Thank you! :)
