Dead monkeys and apes, yes. The bodycount in primates for the development of Neuralink isn’t… Fun.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 5 days ago:
It’s been nearly a year and we’re still calling it “X, formerly Twitter”. XD
- Comment on Favourite controllers 6 days ago:
Playstation controllers got it right, or at least, their kind of configuration. Doesn’t have to specifically be a controller from PlayStation.
Anything with offset analogue sticks is cancerous to use.
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 5 weeks ago:
We are living in a cyberpunk dystopia right now. Or the beginnings of one. We’re just missing all the cool and badass stuff from the genre.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 1 month ago:
The original games are about 4 GB each. Together they should be around 8 GB.
What the fuck is the rest of the size used for!?
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 1 month ago:
Can’t wait to start pirating cars.
Those ads in the early 2000s were prophetic. The answer is yes, by the way. Yes I would.
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 2 months ago:
It’s meant to be an “everything” game.
Chris Roberts has always had the ambition for a space sim where you could truly do anything, but never had the resources to actually create it.
So what is Star Citizen supposed to be?
An open world sandbox where you, a citizen of the stars, can choose to be Whst you want. A space trucker? A pirate? A bounty hunter? A smuggler? These aren’t new things in the space sim genre, but Star Citizen wants to make these aspect less like a game and more like a life sim.
So instead of clicking a few buttons to fly your spaceship, your character wakes up in bed, has to manually walk over to the ship hangar (maybe take the train there, if you’re on the city planet. Yes, the train runs on a schedule), manually access the hangar via elevator, climb into the ship, activate the ship, request take-off from control, wait for the hangar doors to open, and then you fly your spaceship.
This level of granular detail is meant for every aspect of the game and is the reason why Star Citizen will never get done!

The desire to hate on Star Citizen is far from irrational.
Wake me up once Chris Roberts actually finishes anything by himself.

They’ve had a “basic world” for a long time at this point, unfortunately it still doesn’t go beyond “tech demo” levels of development.
Squadron 42, their single player game set in this universe, I supposedly nearly completely finished and coming “SOON™”.
If Squadron 42 actually releases it would mean Chris Roberts has finally managed to start and finish a project without a parent company ordering him or taking away the project from him.
- Comment on 10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. 2 months ago:
I’m STILL insulted. Portrait videos suck to look at.
- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 2 months ago:
If I’m not mistaken, Steam will still keep the games on their servers. Sure, you can no longer buy them, but I’m pretty sure if you own the game you can still access it, and steam keys from the grey market should still work.
- Comment on Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek 2 months ago:
Ok, but like… You’re talking about people who’d waste money on buying a “cyber” truck in the first place. At that point it’s like people buying Apple products; it’s less about having the best possible version of the thing and more about having something from Tesla/Musk.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers' 2 months ago:
Average anime protagonist progression.
- Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again. 2 months ago:
DuckDuck Go toon getting used to for me due to it lacking all the convenient algorithms from Google that… used to in the past… contribute to getting better search results.
The lack of these conveniences is why I switched to DDG years ago in the first place. I realised Google was essentially helping everyone build their own Internet echo chambers and I didn’t want to be part of that.
It does mean you actually need to be good at searching for what you want because DDG is very bad at “guessing”.
Or to put it differently; I call you complaints skill issues. :)
- Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again. 2 months ago:
I live in Denmark. I can’t complain.
- Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again. 2 months ago:
DDG seems to still function nicely. And I’ve never stopped using bookmarks. Didn’t know people weren’t using bookmarks anymore… I mean, what do you? Search for the same website you frequently use or just make a button that can do it in one click?
- Comment on Skull and Bones - Skill Up Review 2 months ago:
It’s simple:
The more A’s on a game the shittier it is. Skull and Bones is a monumentally shit live service game. It deserves that extra A.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
180 US for 10 hours of battery life and, allegedly, a full titanium body. That’s honestly reasonable.
Now the real question is; do they ship to Denmark? I’ll have to check that out after work.

That’s fine until making that choice feels like sifting through a massive stack of paperwork.
- Comment on How do conspiracy theorists get all of their coveted secret government information if it's meant to be hidden and the government would never hand it over? 2 months ago:
Texas sharpshooter fallacy.
Problem is that conspiracy theorists believe that the theories that have actually been proven true are fake and meant to throw people off from the real truth.
- Comment on How do conspiracy theorists get all of their coveted secret government information if it's meant to be hidden and the government would never hand it over? 2 months ago:
As a dude with conspiracy theorist parents:
From “trusted sources”.
Basically what that means is:
Any video or article that writes about stuff that they generally already believe in. My mom and dad already believe Bill Gates is evil and there exists a shadow state, so anything that so much as mentions these things are trusted almost immediately, regardless of how stupid it sounds.
Any video or article that is essentially against anything written in any news source. You can make a good prediction about what my parents will believe in by following global events and thinking the exact opposite.
Any video or article that claims to have evidence through loosely connected statements, often no connection at all, and bonus if it features basic, publicly available financial records (follow the money).

Dude, there are people with earbuds EVERYWHERE on the street. It’s actually a problem on the bike lanes because the ones that are noise cancelling can’t hear when someone is right behind them ringing a bike bell.

Yes hi I am real man hey do you want to go skateboards?

Eeeehhhhh that depends.
I work delivering food on a bicycle. I need to be able to hear things. Would be nice if I could listing to my playlists and not drown out the car coming my way.

I’m pretty sure those physical limitations are exactly what he’s talking about.
- Comment on Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros 2 months ago:
I can tell you straight up right now it’s not just the wealthy furries that are hanging out in VRChat.
VRChat, and similar apps, is their ultimate escapism; they actually get to be and walk around as the character they want themselves to be. So most of the furries I know, some of them not even living in their own apartment, have spent time putting money aside to buy VR headsets complete with full motion setups. Those who really couldn’t save up like that, and/or afford building a PC capable of handling VR, go for the cheapest option of buying a Quest.
Remember Ready Player One? Everyone is poor, living in pretty blegh conditions, yet many people have put a significant portion of their income aside to buy VR headsets? Those would be furries.

A lot of them have moved to Bluesky.
