- Comment on I made a FOSS video, audio and live stream downloader extension for browsers! 6 days ago:
I can’t tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.
You have a commit titled “Full rewrite!!” but I’m not about to go do a comparison to see how “full” it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn’t look like you took someone’s FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 week ago:
For anyone wondering, the game is Silent Hills. It was cancelled 10 years ago and you can still find people on eBay selling PS4s with the P.T. demo loaded on it for way too much money.

Welcome to Future plc publications. Almost entirely clickbait advertorial garbage anymore. It’s sad, really.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 weeks ago:
They’re still a thing. You can still find them at banks with drive thru tellers. My local department of motor vehicles has a drive thru for vehicle registration so you can do your inspection and registration without leaving your car. You send the registration documents back/forth via pneumatic tubes.

You’re telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

It sure is but it also lets you do some side talkin’ so your greasy face doesn’t mung up that beautiful screen! It all balances out.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 4 weeks ago:
Teams is mostly fine these days and I think it’s the only MS product that is getting better over time instead of worse. If you have a competent IT team then the various MS integrations can actually work well to make Teams a usable one stop for comms, recordings/transcripts, scheduling, file sharing, etc.
New features are slow to come but they do come. The insane memory footprint became much more reasonable for me when they moved from Electron to their own Edge-based WebView2 thing last year. The preview builds have finally combined the “teams” channel listings and ad-hoc chats into one tab where you can group them together however you want.
Teams still pisses me off on occasion but no more than any other piece of enterprise software. It’s fine.
- Comment on Game Informer Is Back and the Entire Team Has Returned 4 weeks ago:
Oh man. If you think game dev has been having a rough go of it lately, games media was already a smoking crater before all the waves of dev layoffs began. Now GI wants to dive back in and restart their print offering too? There are a bunch of good people over there and I’m happy there getting another chance unshackled from GameStop, but woof. Good luck!

Eh. Bigscreen isn’t new to this. I think they understand how niche they are.

Kunos has built a lot of good will in the community with the modability of AC and long term support for both AC and ACC. The AC Evo early access has been real clunky but they earned their fans and their understanding.

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 1 month ago:
Implicit demands are for mob bosses and boat owners. If you’re threatening a corporation you need to be clear and direct.
Less
We are boycotting Amazon products until they stop be bad
More
We are boycotting Amazon products until they make another season of The Expanse
Or whatever. Clear, concrete, demands.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 1 month ago:
That boycott had a demand attached, to prevent the sinking of the Brent Spar buoy. Effectively “unlimited” boycott until Shell gave into the demand.
This and the last no shop Friday thing seem mostly pointless. I mean fuck Amazon for sure but shouldn’t there be some goal? “Boycott Amazon until X, Y, and Z” not “No buy from Amazon for a week but then we’ll be back so no worries!”

Sure is great that they patented the Nemesis system just to do nothing with it for the better part of a decade then shut down the studio that invented it. Brilliant use of talent and the US patent system there.

- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 2 months ago:
If we’re allowing Trilogy as one game then I’m going to step out a bit and go with AM2R. It’s extremely good and not “for a fan remake”, just straight up good.
If we’re talking single games made/published by Nintendo I’d go with Dread for 2D. I played through that 3-4 times back to back when it came out which was a totally new behavior for me. For 3D it’s Prime 1, still the best 3D example of the genre.

The GitHub issue was quite the ride yesterday. Today it appears the user is gone from GitHub completely, taking the repo with it.
I’m glad the RPCS3 team jumped on that. The opened GH issue was straight to the point without any attacks or other BS. Good work from them.

I would expect the teenage years to be where most people’s sociopathy peaks before trailing off as they continue to mature emotionally.

- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 months ago:
DS3 really nails that balance. Mostly linear but usually has some sort of side option if you need a break from your current wall of a boss. Playable end to end without devoting like 100 hours. It also comes after Bloodborne where From nailed down more fun active combat vs. relying on a shield, and before Elden Ring where they went hard on crazy delayed boss attacks.
These days DS3 is probably my favorite overall.
