My biggest feather in my reddit hat was that they included me in their net neutrality filing with the FCC. I am actually pretty proud of that.
What ever happened to them after that? 😭

From what I hear from people actually able to play the game, it’s better than 3.
Something like:
2 > 4 > 1 > 3 > Pre-Sequel

Speaking as a former top 1%er redditor… figuring out how to do it and being willing to do it are two completely different things.
Life would be so much easier if I lacked basic human ethics. :)

DF is who I’m waiting on, but from what I’m hearing, they didn’t send reviewer codes so it’s all delayed and that’s never a good sign.

How is it on console though? Better on PS5 or Xbox?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 6 days ago:
And yet nobody is currently talking about them, having the marketing push replaced with AI.
In a few years, AI tech will be silent, behind the scenes, and if anyone mentions it at all it will be “hey, remember when everyone was talking about AI?” while we’re all bitching about the new marketing buzzword.
I’ve been working in tech for 30+ years and involved in tech for close to 50 now. I’ve seen this pattern over and over again.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 1 week ago:
For those of us who have been around the block a few times, AI is going to just be invisible in a few years, replaced by the new marketing buzzword, probably “Quantum”.
Source: Seen it before when the word was “Cloud”. Oh, it’s all in the Cloud! Cloud, cloud, cloud.
Before that it was “Virtualization”. It’s going to make everything more efficient!
Man, I need to make an AI powered quantum cloud virtualization.

Generating bullshit that isn’t really that useful.
Remember when the Apple Newton “revolutionized” computing with handwriting recognition?
No, of course not, because the whole thing sucked and vanished outside of old Doonesbury cartoons. LOL
- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 1 week ago:
For a while it was illegal to export Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP from the US.
FTP servers in the US removed it for fear of legal action.
So I imported it from a University in Scotland. 😉

- Comment on There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service 1 week ago:
Is it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of “Meh”.
Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it’s worth playing.

The Etruscans are fascinating and we don’t know nearly enough about them.
Why are they smiling?

On console, Denuvo isn’t an issue. :)
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 2 weeks ago:
1 and 2 were legitimately good games.
Pre-Sequel was terrible, 3 was better but still not good.
Can’t say I remember enough about the Tell Tale game to have an opinion which may also very well be an opinion. ;)

Waaaaaay ahead of you Gearbox…
- Comment on Is a monocle uncomfortable to wear? 2 weeks ago:
Just googling… If you had money, no.
If you didn’t have money, yes.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocle
“Monocles with galleries were often the most expensive. The wealthy would have the frames custom-made to fit their eye sockets. A sub-category of the galleried monocle was the “sprung gallery”, where the gallery was replaced by an incomplete circle of flattened, ridged wire supported by three posts. The ends were pulled together, the monocle was placed in the eye orbit, and the ends were released, causing the gallery to spring out and keep the monocle in place.”

Yup. On the PS5, you can add standard M2 storage to increase the usable internal space.
On the Xbox you have to use the Seagate or WD plug.

- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 2 weeks ago:
You can, but you can’t play games from it, it would be storage only. You’d have to move it to internal memory to play it.
