That’s a save changes? prompt, not an are you sure? prompt.

I just want to let you know that when I was director of production at a multimedia studio, one of the rules in my ux design “bible” was that an interface must never present an “are you sure” prompt to a Quit action. Yes there were fights over it.
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 3 days ago:
Love how you just completely skipped over the entire thrust of the comment and then churned out some blithe remark.

I feel you, I just also think the financial loss resulting from the respective decisions makes Ballers idiocy unrivaled.
There’s a big difference between killing momentum in a gaming concern vs what was lost by completely mismanaging, bungling, and squandering the opportunity to dominate the mobile computing market.
I’m not really disagreeing with you just looking at relative damages.
- Comment on 3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers? 6 days ago:
I’m sorry, it’s not a game suggestion, but consider getting a legacy steam controller, or getting the new one in February

Can’t believe the number of tool boxes in this comment section say “oh gee, I can really see how this unnecessary feature improves my life because I don’t know how to breathe on my own or live”

I wish I could have seen the presentation. I love the slides.
It’s what I’ve been saying for a long time, we are at the “We can easily drill to the center of the Earth, we’re simply waiting for the drilling machine to be complete” stage.
- Comment on Zork I, Zork II and Zork III are now officially open source 1 week ago:
Reminds me of a game my buddy and I made called BIP.
BIP was a crazy computer that went nuts.
Our code was about as sophisticated as this. As in, not. lol

Hard to put a stupid offhand remark on the same level as a man that handed mobile computing to Apple and Samsung.

Hey now. Its ok we all make booboos. I bought a Game Gear.

A routing rule solves it, but you’re too Linux to know that.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 1 week ago:
I could only come up with three for now because it’s no small task!
-
Squarez Deluxe
-
TormentorXPunisher
-
Quake IIx
I didn’t choose anything with crafting or making, because I can still craft and make things in real life. I chose games that provide something that I could never get anywhere else, and also games that for me are infinitely replayable. I would never pick a story driven anything because if that’s the only game I can play for the rest of my days, I don’t want to hear/play the same story 70 times, and RPG combat systems are easy to figure out and game after a while
Squarez Deluxe to me is the greatest shape packing game ever made, it makes Tetris look like Tinker Toys idc fite me. It’s probably three decades old by now and it’s DOS freeware and I still play it. Extreme mode only, my peeps
TormentorXPunisher is the best twin stick shooter I have ever played, and I have played hundreds of them. It has an infinite skill ceiling. I play every day and have done so for about 7 years. I was number two WR on hard mode until my protegé took me down, but I recently ascended on regular mode by 14 ranks. I’m so invested in this game I actually developed a friendly acquaintanceship with the sound engineer Joonas Turner
Quake 2 is just a granddaddy of all amazing FPS with again, an infinite skill ceiling esp in movement. I actually enjoy the movement of Q1 better, but the mod support of Q2 and upgraded engine makes it a game that goes on forever. Team CTF, rocket arena, etc

Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He’s the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
I have a lifetime boycott of all things Ubisoft for this very reason. I bought game after game after game from the late 90’s until early 2000’s. 100% of them were legal purchases and with the CD in the drive… "please insert CD " error
Then I became the lead developer for gameloft.com and saw how completely incompetent the French leadership of the company is. Absolute morons to the highest levels.
Never another penny shall be conveyed to Ubi from my holdings.

- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 weeks ago:
Oh hell yeah, I knew all along that the steam link, the steam controller, that was a research project
And I have confidence that the new one will resolve a lot of the build issues. Cautiously optimistic
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 weeks ago:
I’m so glad the steam controller is back.
I was an early adopter, I got my first steam link and steam controller in November 2015
I went through 17 steam controllers.
Seventeen.
Because they were built like absolute fucking shit, and my ear actually got attuned to the sound of the shoulder spring breaking. Crunch.
The first one I bought was totally DOA, the replacement was DOA with a broken button membrane, the replacement for that DOA with a malfunctioning back paddle. The fourth one, and first functional one I got lasted two months before the shoulder broke. There were ones I got new out of the box and the shoulder broke within an hour.
So I’m happy as fuck that it came back, but I’m so hesitant. I choose to believe that they have corrected the shitty build problem, but I guess I’ll find out!

No I’ll just block you, I can’t stand dealing with petulant little turd bags like you.

I just want to be the nerd that says if the system started and worked well enough to sustain itself to a point, and then stopped working, that would be a failed experiment right.

That’s the hilarious part hey lol
Just throws out some random baloney, when questioned folds like a house of cards 😂 can’t even be bothered to cook up some silly explanation for their alleged personal experience
- Comment on what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge? 2 weeks ago:
I mean yeah you can still eat the bananas, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing to have them under ripened as you do end up with a different range of nutrients. I just don’t think as general practice, most people are going to get the best experience if they refrigerate them. Maybe it’s just a bananas I get in my region but I’ve never been able to successfully refrigerate a banana and have it be as good as just left out to ripen naturally
- Comment on Why all the free-stuff Facebook groups you’re part of just changed their name 2 weeks ago:
I realize this leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths, but I see this as a company trying to rightfully protect it’s blah blah, and a bunch of groups that kinda bent the rules in a well-intentioned way, and now have to click the Settings button in FB and rename their groups. Yes the company could have done things differently but they didn’t, most companies are internal gong shows and any working human knows that. Ok, do we need to huff and puff about this? Life carries on, and nobody still knows about or uses, or will use, the offical BN app lol

Again it was just a shower thought which is the requisite for this comm.
Wrong.
Copied from the sidebar:
A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life
