- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 5 weeks ago:
Doesn’t need to be by age tbh- you could have content tags and filter by content instead of age (I.e. No graphic violence). That would ignore country discrepancies and then give more flexibility

Probably would not add kpop to the list of chill. That industry is rife with abuse like slave contracts.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 2 months ago:
That really sucks. Consoles these days are just pcs with expensive libraries. If you can muster playing on pc with your son, the games are cheaper and I highly recommend it. On steam, you can filter by local coop and hook up two controllers to get a similar experience. You can even try emulating older games like on the ps2.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 months ago:
Honestly feels criminal with how bloated companies have made these phones yet they cheap out on a headphone jack.

Again, my point is the cadence supports people looking to upgrade, not people who are already on a fairphone. You are not the market

If they didn’t buy a previous fairphone, you’re going to miss all the people who wanted to try it but didn’t want a 5 year old phone tech. I imagine most people replace around 3-5 years due to battery degradation, people dropping their phones, or lack of updates
- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 2 months ago:
Tbf there’s definitely some confirmation bias in there because a person who didn’t enjoy being remote probably wouldn’t seek that type of job
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 months ago:
Why are you suddenly deciding that being with his father is a bad choice? We literally know nothing about whether he’s a good dad- it is possible to be a good parent and provider and a bad husband. No matter what happens in his parents relationship, both will still be his parents and it’s the parents’ job to sort it out. What we do know here is that his mom is absolutely a red flag- you do NOT manipulate your children into taking sides in a divorce. The parents should be there to support their children and not the other way around.

- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 months ago:
Wow, shift goalposts much? You said “$10 in qbert days” which was the 80s and now it’s not $10 it’s $30. You can just admit you got it wrong and it was never $10 (though I do think prices right now are actually well aligned at $60 because of the far lower costs in distribution and marketing). Also I’m NOT the OP who played thousands of hours on qbert. Great job quoting someone else.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 months ago:
$50-60 based on what? Adjusted for inflation in 1982, it’s more like $33. Truth is you just need to find a compelling gameplay loop but companies don’t like taking risks- not every game needs to be a massive endeavor like skyrim. Look at games like slay the spire and see how a cheap game can be compelling without having to be a AAA behemoth. And at that note, is there even anything wrong if a game only takes your attention for a hundred hours? I don’t see the need to extend the player’s attention with poor side quest grinding. These things add unnecessary cost

Not wrong there, though I find it humorous they expected her to apologize in the dismissal letter

- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 5 months ago:
More like charging availability imo. Not everyone has a garage to conveniently charge in after a day’s work. If you make charging speeds fast enough like with gas, you can negate that though.
- Comment on Amazon is changing what is written in books 6 months ago:
I truly hate this age of video where everything is either in incredibly long form with unnecessary cruft that can be pared down to a page or so of real information, or the video is so pointlessly short it’s devoid of real value and context. Sadly people just don’t want to read anymore
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 8 months ago:
I haven’t done the math but if you don’t drive that much, did it beat their yearly costs (maintenance/insurance/gas)? Honestly that scheme is wild but makes total sense for a customer because not having to deal with car maintenance and insurance seems like a good tradeoff. I wonder when the dominos are all gonna tumble for these driving companies
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 11 months ago:
With a 2 min search I found a cyberpowerpc prebuilt for $700 that included a r7 5700 and rx 6700. And yes, you can absolutely get 60 fps at 1080p on some aaa titles; I don’t know where you get that idea you can’t, especially if you can tweak graphics settings (for the record, most pc gamers don’t even use ultra- high and medium presets are the most reasonable settings). I’m sure a title like Diablo 4 doesn’t require tuning at 1080p at all.
