- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 5 hours ago:
Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 3 days ago:
It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 5 days ago:
Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 5 days ago:
I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC
- Comment on Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why 1 week ago:
Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 1 week ago:
All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.
- Comment on FCC to get Republican majority and plans to “delete” as many rules as possible 2 weeks ago:
It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 2 weeks ago:
Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.
Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.
Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.
- Comment on Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe 4 weeks ago:
They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.
- Comment on This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.
- Comment on Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025 5 weeks ago:
Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 5 weeks ago:
It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. Theseig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s honestly fairly level headed for anyone. Make sure your loved ones aren’t making dramatic and life-altering changes without being sure they want it? Seems reasonable to me. Especially for a topic that is largely a muddled mystery for the average person.
- Comment on Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing 1 month ago:
I don’t even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little “new messages” indicator on chats when it’s only users I have ignored.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 1 month ago:
Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
Hell, it can filter out tech people too. I’m a programmer by trade, but I almost dipped on lemmy because the onboarding is confusing enough. Like, I obviously (mostly) figured it out, but I did consider going “eh fuck it” and dipping. The site is ultimately a luxury and not a requirement, so effort or confusion required to get all started up is also something that’ll drive me to consider it not all worth it for some social media I’m not even sure I want to be a part of yet.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 1 month ago:
I need a reminder of what hexbear is about. I recall something… off.
- Comment on Wikipedia Prepares for 'Increase in Threats' to US Editors From Musk and His Allies 1 month ago:
There’s a reason it sounds like that.
- Comment on LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs 2 months ago:
I should have bought a new tv like 5 years ago.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 2 months ago:
I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…
but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.
- Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 2 months ago:
And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.
- Comment on Meta is secretly building its own search engine. 5 months ago:
This is gonna be like the metaverse. It’s gonna get hyped up by all news sources like it’s the next big thing, but nobody will actually care or use it.
- Comment on Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall 5 months ago:
Only if we’re doing a new country too
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 5 months ago:
What version of Linux did you go with?
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 5 months ago:
While that’s currently true, I’m extremely curious to see the trends after 10-20 years. Does it stay productive or do problems start cropping up. My current job is strongly requested to be in-person once per week, but otherwise WFH. The occasional in-office definitely helps new hires and such, and I would not be surprised if jobs start moving towards a “wfh except once per week (or two weeks)” ordeal.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 5 months ago:
While probably true, this still probably gets him all wound up.
- Comment on Trump calls for prosecution of Google over search results he says favor Harris 5 months ago:
And if he wins the presidency, he’s going to try to use his power to make those fits matter. I seriously don’t see how people look at this man and think he’s a good option.
