They do when you use ublock origin. That element selector has been doing a lot of good work for me lately.
- Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account. 4 weeks ago:
On the home screen yes, but you do still get search results.
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 5 weeks ago:
I was so confused when I saw your comment until I reread my own. It really is top notch technology I guess!
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 5 weeks ago:
How did you know? Really though I was looking at the picture in the article which is from similar technology about a decade ago.
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 5 weeks ago:
“All seeing” except it’s using radar to evaluate typography and biomass. What am I missing that makes this “absolutely fucked”?
- Comment on You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags 1 month ago:
Atomic Heart was like that, too. Tons of difficulty options to customize your experience, but no matter what combat always felt like a punishment.

Did you have server issues or were you able to play and didn’t like it?
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 1 month ago:
Not if you buy second hand, though!
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 month ago:
I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 month ago:
Have you played A Plague Tale? It’s much shorter but also pretty emotional.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 1 month ago:
Pixel is a decent alternative, and de-googled pixel is even better yet.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 1 month ago:
You should try The Slormancer if you haven’t already.
- Comment on The Long Dark gets a big free visual enhancement update out now 1 month ago:
Is pretty great! It hits the right balance between survival and crafting for me.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 2 months ago:
I’ve noticed people cite em-dashes as concrete proof that something is ai generated, but I’ve them be inserted/auto corrected by word plenty of times.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 2 months ago:
Black myth wukong would be so great with some difficulty options. I’m sure the rest of it story is great, but if I get stuck for a week on a boss I’m going to stop caring about that story.
- Comment on Google DeepMind unveils AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered AI coding agent that designs and optimizes advanced algorithms 2 months ago:
Can’t wait for my boss to come up with half a working solution with this!
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 2 months ago:
This concept could work great with “combat” in the style of A Plague Tale. If you’re not familiar, the main character is a child. She has a few tools available to manipulate enemies and environmental hazards.

Is there another game you’re waiting for? Or were you hoping for more specifics on Silksong?
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 3 months ago:
Do you have recommendations for fixing discoverability? I can browse by category on streaming apps, but that just shows the top ten or twenty titles. Beyond that it’s search by name or scroll alphabetically.
- Comment on Post promoting lemm.ee hits 67,000 views and 1000 upvotes in 3 hours. 4 months ago:
My point is that I don’t search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I’m not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.
In my view this isn’t a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s just something new users have to get used to.
- Comment on Post promoting lemm.ee hits 67,000 views and 1000 upvotes in 3 hours. 4 months ago:
It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.
- Comment on New technology could save declining honeybee populations 4 months ago:
We can help on a very small scale by planting a variety of native plants and not using pesticide or herbicide. I don’t know much about the risks of fertilizer on a small scale, but it’s generally not needed for native plants anyways.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 months ago:
Yes, I also want smaller phones. Even my “regular” sized phone doesn’t fit into running shorts phone pockets unless I remove the case, but even then it’s a tight fit.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 months ago:
The latest pixel pro is available in both the regular size and the XL. In previous models the pro was only available as the XL.
- Comment on Why am I getting gore on my racism app? 4 months ago:
Any time a video is known by its title instead of a description, it’s better not to seek it out.
- Comment on Swimming pool, blind dog 4 months ago:
Vinyl instead of boards also removes any particular spacing requirements.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 months ago:
I think what I read was actually about oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I’m not sure if that changes your questions or not. I agree that the Skyrim character did feel like a genetic dragonborn. The guild quests especially made it feel that way. (I’m the head wizard, but also chief fighter dude and captain of the thieves guild… What?)
I guess for the role play aspect I prefer games to more narrowly define the main character and tell the story from there rather than leave it up to me to decide who the character becomes. A Plague Tale is a great example of this type of story telling, but of course it isn’t at all comparable to an open world game.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 months ago:
I’ve heard it’s more action and less role playing than Skyrim, which sounds perfect for me. Does that match your experience?
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 5 months ago:
Reminder that Firefox on mobile also has ublock origin and other add ons that improve the experience.
- Comment on Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description? 6 months ago:
I don’t like souls like games. I saw black myth wukong was specifically said to not be a souls like game, but guess what? It’s enough of the same combat elements that I still don’t like it. So now I avoid games that are souls like, but also games that people claim they’re not souls like.
