- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold 5 million copies worldwide; new content update to come to celebrate 1 day ago:
Anyone been playing it on steam deck? How’s the fps? Is the text very hard to read?
- Comment on mobile gaming 2 days ago:
It’s pretty nice that a game of it isn’t neverending and doesn’t take all too long since defeating it is only 15 rounds, but it does take a lot of reading descriptions of all the different symbols and really thinking about how they’ll work with what you have at the time so you have to give it more mental focus than your typical candy crush type of game. Steeper learning curve and more mentally stimulating, which could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you like.

Merge Maestro is awesome. The free version is good free, and full version is $2. No in app purchases.

- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 3 days ago:
Dragonball super has pretty great dubs. So does cowboy bebop. NGE also is pretty good. FMA Brotherhood also does a great job. So is My Hero Academia.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 week ago:
Now factor in the cost savings from a lower server load and less staff to run the back end, and possibly the smaller licensing\use costs for the games available to play since less people would be accessing those games.

We won’t have the surface of the earth trashed so badly we have to live above it and since there’s no longer wildlife have to consume everything in pill form? To get our calories and nutrition?

I’m deaf in one ear. I already know I’m bad at hearing in stereo.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
This going to be a total venture capitalist play. It was already set the the fifty billion dollar acquisition was also going to be placing EA in like twenty billion in debts. They’ll flood it with more debts, piece the IP’s all out, legal launder the money, and take ea into bankruptcy.
EA is dead.

I want the final answer he left out, so it’s finally time for me to start playing rdr2.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 1 week ago:
Here, Gizmodo. Let me fix that title for you.
“Almost half the upset tweets on the most bottidden platform (twitter) about Cracker Barrel were likely from bots.”
Realistically, the upset was probably more about how the new logo came on all of a sudden, was very plain, and like how coca cola found out with new coke in the 1980s, it’s not necessarily that people love cracker barrel. It’s a part of their nostalgia they grew up with. They went with Grandma and Grandpa growing up. It was a special little stop on a family vacation to eat. They liked looking at the toys and candy in the gift shop and it was so weird and cool they had a store in the restaurant. It can be a company nightmare to screw with a logo that’s been around for decades that could have memories attached to it.
Especially the new one is pretty lame.
- Comment on Apple iPhone 17 Devices Plagued by Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo was overblown? The switch launch units had a very large rate of drift issues within the first year. I’d call it fair to say that most of the launch version had drift issues. Most Nintendo hardware releases have no major flaws while “viewed under the microscope”. I guess the switch 2 has a shitty screen, but it’s not flawed hardware. The screens were made to be shit from the getgo.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 2 weeks ago:
Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.
- Comment on yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk 2 weeks ago:
I understand what you’re saying (call it like a 10" 100 pound tungsten ball vs a 5" 50 pound tungsten ball) but your reasoning and logic of being essentially the same are just silly and the math that would dictate when each would land in atmosphere would still line up perfectly (which would be that the heaviest one will hit first). even if it were a 10,000 pound ball and a 5,000 pound ball.
- Comment on yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk 3 weeks ago:
Not at all. Our air is made up of physical objects (molecules of oxygen and nitrogen, mostly). Things with more mass, more quickly knock those out of the way.
For a demonstration you can see and more easily wrap your head around, take something just barely heavier than water, and a similarly sized heavy rock and drop them in a pool. You’ll see how much quicker the rock gets to the bottom, because it displaces the water so much faster. Our atmosphere is the exact same.
- Comment on yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk 3 weeks ago:
And the iron would hit the ground much faster because it pushes air molecules out of the way quicker.

Yeah, but most don’t live with one.
He also seemed to want others to be helped and didn’t register as a Republican voter, or actually vote (though he was registered to do so).
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 3 weeks ago:
His family and city was, but it pretty likely seems he was not. Hard to be a republican if you’re living with (and allegedly dating) a trans.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 3 weeks ago:
This is a lawyers cash grab. Why should it get put on Roblox? Why not the parents or the pedo or the IP or the electric company?
Also, Roblox business hasn’t been just children for quite a while. It’s been around and popular for too long. Nearly 1\3 of the player base is 17 and over. A lot of the 12 year olds who started playing a decade ago didn’t stop playing.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 3 weeks ago:
Game companies shouldn’t have to monitor and supervise children. Each kid already has adults legally responsible for them. It isn’t a g companies job to do someone else’s job for them, nor be financially responsible for criminals or parenting.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 3 weeks ago:
Maybe the first thing is that it’s just the predators fault and anything beyond that is bullshit. Gonna sue the company that made the PC too? Maybe the electric company for providing the electricity to it?
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 3 weeks ago:
Why? It’s idiotic to force age verification and an ID to play games on the internet, and I’m assuming the kid didn’t just click a button to turn off parental controls. He probably got his parents to do it. Liability shouldn’t be pushed off to others every time something bad happens. This is the groomers fault. Not a game company or an internet provider or anyone else. Hell; why not sue Intel for making a processor that allowed the game to be played and discord to be used? Do you also expect every startup game company and Indy dev to have millions of dollars worth of chat security and oversight? Shit like this is nothing but a money grab.

Planting trees is only a temporary carbon hold. Also, it takes like 200 trees to offset the carbon for a years worth of driving from a single car.
I do have strong doubts about the usefulness of these fans, though.

Maybe just put out some wooden posts in the field.

No. Everyone just decided to stop using the fediverse a couple of times for like a day. Guess you missed it.

In third world countries I think Samsung’s allows you to unlock the bootloader. Open developer options and see if there’s a tic box for “OEM unlock”
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 1 month ago:
My Note 20 Ultra (US) came out like 5+ years ago and you can’t unlock the bootloader. There was a workable hack job that was possible for a little while, but even that got patched up through a firmware update back in like 2021, and there’s no way to roll back firmware anymore, either.
