- Comment on I found Painkiller (2011) in my library and cant even remeber when or why I got this 1 week ago:
It was recently given away. I prowl the free games communities but often don’t play myself, just collect.
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 1 week ago:
I spent almost two decades as a game developer and many of those years were spent developing professional lottery products.
I argued with a buddy for over 5 years about the gamblers fallacy and various other aspects to do with probabilities.
See, in his mind, he could somehow claim to understand the underlying statement that past events are not a predictor of future events… but he’s still insisted that if he monitored the patterns, he could somehow break through this truth.
I could never get through to him that there was no system. You’re just fucking gambling dude. Zero progress… and I refused after a while to discuss anything to do with probabilities.
- Comment on For the love of the game... 2 weeks ago:
You know dude, I’ve been there myself.
My sister’s been there, my whole family’s been there, I dated a gastroenterologist for 7 years, I created a computer-based training program which was first year medical-level for a research drug for reflux.
This dude’s just driving the conversation down to the basest, most surly Facebook boomer-esque sniping. It’s completely obnoxious, it misrepresents the actual medical facts behind the symptoms and treatment. One line cynical statements are just thought terminating and I detest them.
- Comment on For the love of the game... 2 weeks ago:
Your redundant comments feel like some sort of anti-intellectual flex.
- Comment on For the love of the game... 2 weeks ago:
Ulcers, occasional reflux, and GERD are different things.
This man’s research specifically centered around ulcers and the cause.
- Comment on For the love of the game... 2 weeks ago:
This guy ingested H. Pylori to prove ulcers are caused by bacteria
- Comment on Coffee ☕ 2 weeks ago:
20+ years ago Colgate bought and shelved a patent for an antibacterial mouthwash that only targeted bacteria that erode enamel.
- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 2 weeks ago:
Weed can completely and irreversibly damage a developing brain. Wait until you’re at least 26 before you fuck with THC.
- Comment on Our Commitment to Windows Quality 2 weeks ago:
“care deeply about Windows”
Fuck face… Not one person cares deeply about Windows… We just want this giant shit heap of bloated code to respect BASIC user needs.
- Comment on I rember! 2 weeks ago:
That puts over 60% of the American pop in the bus.
- Comment on Today is the day 2 weeks ago:
Chuck Norris is an asshole
- Comment on Gaysadilla 2 weeks ago:
You can slurp them all you want! Just don’t cook them. Take em raw.
- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 3 weeks ago:
The fact that McDonald’s exists is proof that advertising works.
- Comment on War. War never changes. 3 weeks ago:
So like, the war is on drugs, or the drugs are on drugs? Halp
- Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake? 4 weeks ago:
Dude’s not going to be burning anything out, his furnace can’t even adequately ventilate his house as it is right
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 4 weeks ago:
Circa 1997 I was making some innovative new games, employed by a dude who’d put millions of his own money into the company. He was completely nonplussed when I brought him 20 CDs in a sealed box to remove from the building and store off site. He thought I’d lost my damned mind and blew it off as ravings of a stressed dev. I pointed out real threats to our IP including the hardware failures and even so far as the building burning down. 2 years of custom art and code gone. “Unlikely. Relax.”
After I moved on… an ex co-worker who’s still a longtime friend, tells me a different division lost a huge amount of FMV over some whoops-I-destroyed-the-wrong-drive blunder. 20 days to render on an 8 or 10 machine farm. Poof - No backups. In 1997 even with top-of-the-line gear it took an insane investment to render quality 3D.
The friggin’ carelessness irks the shit out of me as I type ahah
- Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake? 4 weeks ago:
Get Styrofoam blocks and plug vents seasonally. In summer plug the downstairs ones so AC feeds upstairs and drifts down, opposite in winter to make air heat the lower levels and slowly rise.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Used to be a lottery game dev, now I’m in addition.
This suggestion would do nothing since compulsive behavior is not a choice and it is not rational.
- Comment on commitment 4 weeks ago:
Cool, haven’t seen this posted in over 18 hours.
- Comment on The only difference between a monster and a decent human being is the privilege of a support network. 5 weeks ago:
This is not as insightful as ya think.
- Comment on Absolutely all of it 2 months ago:
This, minus the Laugh Often applique is basically VR people
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 2 months ago:
Disengage.
The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.
So basically walk away.
- Comment on Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1 2 months ago:
Agreed, and this article is written backwards.
Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 2 months ago:
That’s more informative, thank you.
I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 2 months ago:
Because it sounds like they were employees not IP owners
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 2 months ago:
That’s a bit of a different presentation than “stole” just saying.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 3 months ago:
Wow, can you say in brief what happened?
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 3 months ago:
Listen dummy, I know this is very hard for you to understand because you’re passionate about some political things, but you’re proving my point, people play games to get away from this shit.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 3 months ago:
If I ran a game company I’d block this shit as well. Morons need to turn literally every platform into some political squabble, and I wouldn’t tolerate it.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 3 months ago:
My suggestion is you go get some therapeutic services for the difficulties that plague your mind.
I don’t like the guy, it hurts your feelings, that’s a you problem you little baby
