- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn’t sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 weeks ago:
Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 weeks ago:
Not just keylogger. It’s a screenlogger too.
- Comment on What is this called? 3 weeks ago:
I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.
- Comment on British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies 3 weeks ago:
I wager the word “radio” also helps. Early 1900s would have had plenty of radio broadcasts being “the thing” going on, so that word probably helps prime the interpretation, even if not used in quite the same way.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 3 weeks ago:
I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 3 weeks ago:
Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Instead of explaining what you mean, you’re just going to casually suggest they read a roughly 500 page book and hope that clears it up for them?
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 4 weeks ago:
Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 5 weeks ago:
They already have.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 5 weeks 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 1 month 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! 1 month 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 2 months 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. 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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] 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
There’s a reason it sounds like that.
- Comment on LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs 4 months ago:
I should have bought a new tv like 5 years ago.
