- Comment on We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop 15 hours ago:
I used to use this maybe a decade ago. I’m glad to see it’s still around!
I’ve unfortunately switched to Google Calendar when my workplace started using it informally, and it’s just been the easiest to stick with.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol
- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 3 days ago:
I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?
- Comment on What's up with all the "___punk" stuff? 3 days ago:
I think as a “genre”, it refers to being more than an aesthetic, but also a setting. It’s probably bastardized by now from the original meaning, but I’d wager that looking into the etymology of steampunk might help you find what you’re looking for.
From there, it was probably like…“Well, steampunk, but with X! Xpunk!”
- Comment on Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general 5 days ago:
As the other commenter mentioned, it was a joke based on the typo in the title, haha
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 5 days ago:
buy a new one.
Buy a new SSD and swap out the old one?
…but a new SSD, right??
- Comment on Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general 5 days ago:
Your Ticketmaster questions have been sufficiently answered, I think.
What did you want to know about beaches in general?
- Comment on Is there a name for apartments that have flat sides, but are protruding like a clover? 1 week ago:
I feel like this deserves a diagram
- Comment on Google's AI Overviews now link to Wikipedia and LinkedIn more than Reddit, study finds 1 week ago:
I know it’s not “intelligent”, but I don’t get gatekeeping the phrase “AI”.
We were perfectly happy to use “AI” to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 1 week ago:
Is this a question?
Woah, meta.
Yes, it is.
This is not a question, though.
- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 1 week ago:
I think some jurisdictions count it as rape if the victim consented under certain circumstances, but the rapist changed those circumstances.
Like consenting to sex with a condom on, but the rapist removes the condom and continues.
- Comment on Google's AI Overviews now link to Wikipedia and LinkedIn more than Reddit, study finds 1 week ago:
Yet I still add “Reddit” to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol
I can do it really well manually…but Google’s AI sucks at it.
They forgot to account for trolls…and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 1 week ago:
Don’t restrict yourself with a fixed mindset.
Growth mindset. You could be better. Always.
- Comment on Exciting New Trailer Released For Gex Trilogy | Retro Gaming News 24/7 1 week ago:
The 2D game is pretty fun, imo
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 1 week ago:
But you should know who you could grow to be.
- Comment on Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges 1 week ago:
Reminds me of the people who say things like “I say it like it is, and most people don’t like it”…not knowing that the reason they don’t have many friends is because they don’t have a filter and don’t think they need one, lol
But this looks like Elon Musk admitting that he’s genuinely an idiot, lol
- Comment on The short, happy reign of CD-ROM 1 week ago:
If you group together all the different kinds of floppies as “floppies”, but separate out CDs from DVDs and Blu-rays, then I guess it could be seen as short.
CDs probably lasted longest for music, and lasted a while as primary computing media, but if you look at them in terms of console gaming, they lived a pretty short life. So maybe the author is also a console gamer, lol
- Comment on Streets of Fortuna is a chaotic The Sims-like in an ambitious open-world city sandbox, made with the help of Dwarf Fortress creators 2 weeks ago:
Then why not “X, a chaotic new game inspired by The Sims, …”? Lol
- Comment on Streets of Fortuna is a chaotic The Sims-like in an ambitious open-world city sandbox, made with the help of Dwarf Fortress creators 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard “Life Sim” before.
There are so many other ways to say it aside from trying to make a sentence like “It’s a The Sims-like”.
- Comment on Streets of Fortuna is a chaotic The Sims-like in an ambitious open-world city sandbox, made with the help of Dwarf Fortress creators 2 weeks ago:
I hate this meme. “[Game-like]” is not a noun/genre, with few exceptions.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Do you speak English at home with your family? If not, where did you learn it?
- Comment on Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels? 1 month ago:
When I saw Dr. Who, I thought you were going to say this was from an episode in the 60’s or something, haha
- Comment on It's Time to Change the Narrative About SEGA Saturn... - SEGA SATURN, SHIRO! 1 month ago:
Honestly one of my favourite gaming channels on YouTube. Enjoy!
- Comment on Does it seem odd to track my lifespan? 1 month ago:
Most people have hair on their heads. If someone had feathers on their head instead, that’d be weird, even if it were essentially the same thing in principle.
- Comment on It's Time to Change the Narrative About SEGA Saturn... - SEGA SATURN, SHIRO! 1 month ago:
SegaLordX on YouTube is great for learning about Saturn games
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 month ago:
I think in this case, the OP should’ve just chosen one question and put it in the title, then left the post text blank.
If the question they wanted to know didn’t get answered, they could’ve had conversations with the commenters where they gave more detail about why they asked the question.
A post consisting of two different questions in two different places (and nothing else) just seems counterintuitive to me.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 month ago:
Providing clarification is important…but to me, it seems prudent to just ask what one actually wants to know in the first place.
- Comment on Steam is now refunding Ghost of Tsushima for people in affected countries. 1 month ago:
Well I’m a PlayStation user, are you saying it’s justifiable for me to now pirate Starfield, Halo and every Xbox and steam exclusive game?
How, exactly, will you pirate those games to play them on your PlayStation?
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 month ago:
Your comment made me realize that OP wasn’t asking about why we need currency as a society, but why people keep trying to get more money.
I hate when the post title and post content ask two seemingly different questions, lol
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 1 month ago:
Healthcare is kind of in a situation in many parts of Canada now. Look into the situation in the provinces you’re considering.
I’m not in healthcare, but I’m trying to stay politically aware.
We’d love to have you. I just want you to be prepared with the best information.
