Ah, that‘d make sense
- Comment on A Rare Shigeru Miyamoto Interview About The Making Of Mario 64 Has Just Surfaced Online | Time Extension 2 days ago:
I never quite got how interviews could be rare. Lost, maybe. But as soon as it’s on YouTube, how can it be rare? It’s right there, available to everyone, any time.
- Comment on Is there a good way to import/export/migrate music playlists between platforms? 6 days ago:
Last time I used it (been a while though) it was free, if you only transferred playlists up to 200 songs

No. Technically, both watermelons and cucumbers are berries.

Yes and it’s the exact same film as Avatar 1, just with water instead of jungle.
- Comment on Think about it 2 weeks ago:
Yea. Humans never needed an excuse for violence.
Or rather, we always found an excuse, religion is merely one of them.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Game dev salaries have increased roughly in line with inflation though, so development time still costs the studio the same as 15 years ago, while AAA game prices are only now starting to surpass the $70 mark with games not generally surpassing the $60 mark until 2020.
It’s a wonder, they haven’t increased to prices any sooner, as much as I‘d like them staying where they were.
And again: if you don’t like the prices, vote with your wallet, buy used or on sale or don’t pay at all.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Yea, I don’t generally disagree. Especially if you‘re someone who plays games for hundreds of hours, instead of dozens.
But $100 is still a lot of money for a lot of people. I‘d have to save up for months for that (I’m a trainee and have less than 1000€ per month for rent, food, internet, gas, etc.), so I rather wait until I can get games cheaper.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Eh, there‘s some truth to either one. Game development is expensive and pricing hasn’t kept up with inflation ($60 in 2010 are almost $90 today). But also, games are ridiculously expensive at full price, especially in todays economy and especially if they’re as badly received as Skull and Bones, while Nintendo games are at the very least usually pretty decent.
I’d recommend voting with your wallet and only buying games on sale or used. Just wait a little. (Or pirate them, if you can live with not supporting the developers at all).

Yea, the renault twingo of my ex-fwb felt borderline dangerous above 130kph while in my workplace’s Mercedes B-Class, my comfortable cruising speed is roughly 160kph with 200kph still feeling perfectly in control.

My dad is also a huge Outlook fan. I think you need to just have been using it for 20+ years

Old games being open sourced is a trend I can get behind.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 month ago:
Not having to pay for hardware transcoding/tonemapping is the biggest „selling“point for Jellyfin. I used to have plex before. It worked well but I didn’t want to pay 100€ for transcoding. Never tried emby for the very same reason.

Ok, the latter might actually be worth it. I’ll have to look into that.

- Comment on Microsoft have blocked their own Windows 11 update after it started breaking Ubisoft games 4 months ago:
Depends on the hardware. Intel Chips with big.LITTLE design (aka e-cores and p-cores) work better in 11 because its scheduler is built with core configurations in mind (unless a semi-recent update also brought that to 10. My information is not the newest. I replaced 11 with Linux pretty quickly)
- Comment on Bluesky hits 20 million users 5 months ago:
Yea. Used it for four things. To keep up to date with creators I like, to keep up to date with friends, to keep up to date with a bunch of webcomics and to randomly rant into the void when I felt like it.

I mean, that at least didn’t look like a student film production. But the contact lens work in that show is so godawful, not just Geralt.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 5 months ago:
Back is already bullshit. We have a few trashcan mac pros at work and usually they’re just turned so all the cables stick out towards the user because then you can easily reach the power button. Which makes it look worse than just having a power button in an accessible place aka the front or the top in the first place.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 5 months ago:
On the one hand, I agree. Apple has positioned their power buttons with the assumption that the devices wouldn’t be turned off very often for quite a while now. It was on the backside of the previous mac mini design and also on the backside of the 2013 trashcan mac pro, for example.
That still doesn’t make it less annoying though. We use a lot of macs for work, including aforementioned mac minis and mac pros and we do turn them off regularly because there’s no need for them to use power 24/7. Having to turn them around to find the power button is just stupid. That’s form over function in its finest. But if you’re the type of person who never turns off their computer, obviously it doesn’t really matter.
That’s not to say, that the new mac minis aren’t remarkable machines. The redesign was necessary and is very good in general. It’s a tiny powerhouse. They could’ve just chosen less of afterthought of a power button location.
