- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
I do turn off my PC. But most of the time, I do it by pressing the software-based “restart” button in my OS, not by pressing the physical button on the case. Otherwise I normally use hibernate which is also software-bound and can be undone by pressing the space bar. I’m not saying I never press the physical power button or that I never turn off my computer. I’m just saying it’s in no way a big deal to have to lift up a small box sometimes to press a button like one a week

I should have considered that I was posting this comment to Lemmy before posting it.
Maybe you push the dedicated power button on your computer’s case everyday but I’m very confident most users of any computer do not. And in that regard I’m including all computers - wearable, handheld, and laptops. We’re well past the age where most users feel the need to fully shutdown and boot their computers everyday, AND there are plenty of software buttons and even some physical keyboard buttons for shutting down a computer so I mean it when I say that I think most computer case’s power buttons go untouched for definitely days and possibly weeks at a time.

I’m not really trying to come to Apple’s defense here as they don’t need it, but everyone reacting as though this is as bad as or worse than the mouse charging port seems to be ignoring the fact that most computers nowadays don’t need to be manually turned off or on with any level of frequency. People will push this button like once or twice a month I imagine. I don’t see why that’s the end of the world.

- Comment on OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion 1 month ago:
When I copy and paste someone else’s work, I get called a plagiarist and get fired.
When OpenAI creates a robot that does it really really really fast, they make enough money to feed the planet hundreds of times over.
I don’t want to live on this planet any more.
- Comment on Do you still play couch coop nowadays? Which games do you recommend? 3 months ago:
A FANTASTIC underground couch co-op game is “Super Space _____” (read: Super Space Blank).
Imagine Asteroids, but everyone is controlling a cannon on the same ship, and the only means of propelling the ship is Newton’s third law. When your cannon hits an asteroid, it turns your color and when the asteroid leaves the game space the points for that asteroid go to the person whose color the asteroid is. If the ship leaves the game area, the game is over. It’s the best example of co-ompetitive I’ve ever seen.
It’s only available on Digipen’s website since it was a student project but it’s magnificent for up to 4 players

- Comment on Lords of the Fallen reboot Lords of the Fallen is getting a sequel in 2026, probably called Lords of the Fallen 5 months ago:
What I don’t get is why Deck13 kicked ass with The Surge 2, showing they really know how to iterate and improve on a core concept really well, but now this IP was taken from them to be given to a completely different team?
TBH I didn’t play LOTF but I really just want to see Deck13 make another game like LOTF or The Surge
- Comment on Redfall will receive one final update after all, including an offline mode 5 months ago:
My cynical brain says the only reason they’re allowing this update is to have evidence that “see, no one cares about offline mode because we added it and no one bought the game!”

- Comment on Flat Earth is so yesterday 5 months ago:
This idea really has me tickled pink. It’s like if Unicron was a fuckin dinobot.
That being said it’s hard to forget that the difference in elevation between Mt. Everest and the Mariana trench is less than the greatest variation in elevation on a standard regulation billiard ball so this would be one gummy ass velociraptor dinobot planet

- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 6 months ago:
This is what I was taught when I was a kid. Somewhere in the Bible I think it says “blessed are the allies of Israel” or something like that but that seems like a terrible reason to arm and fund a genocide so it seemed like there had to be a different reason

- Comment on Half Life 3 6 months ago:
I can’t think of a game that Valve has released just to make money except for Artifact which totally flopped.
From what I understand, Valve has a non-hierarchical internal personnel structure and projects are started because someone has an idea that other people at the company like and want to work on.
Half-Life 3 won’t get traction inside Valve unless it has something to push the envelope like the other main-line games had. Half-Life had unrivaled first person storytelling. Half-Life 2 has unrivaled physics to play with. Half-Life Alyx had an interactive environment unlike anything else that exists even still. My money says if Valve can’t think of something gameplay-wise that’s as enticing right now as any of the previous games had when they were released, they don’t care that the story is still on a cliffhanger.

- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
I don’t believe that’s possible, depending on what you mean by “supreme creator.” If you’re talking about the being that created everything we can possibly perceive, witness, or even theorize, then I don’t think so, or at least I don’t think It could have always been composed of atoms.
If this being created atoms, it would be logically inconsistent to consider this being to have been consisting of what It created. That being said if, this being also created the laws of logic through which we are capable of understanding anything at all, then why not? If these laws of logic did not exist before the creator of these laws of logic, then why would this creator be bound by them?
TL;DR nobody can possibly answer this question with any grounded certainty whatsoever.
- Comment on What are some good games with *zero* replayability? 8 months ago:
Escape Academy? It’s a great escape room game (even better in co-op) but it’s more engaging than Escape Simulator since there’s a story pulling everything together. The story’s ridiculous but honestly the context adds entertainment value, regardless of how absurd it is.
