- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 19 hours ago:
The decision of waking the Wind Fish in Link’s Awakening broke something in me at such a young age that I don’t think I’ve since experienced as profoundly.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 1 day ago:
I think it’s pretty obvious why people would be upset about a propaganda machine being used by a government to demonize its political enemies and voting base? The Iraq War started over less false pretenses, and look how that rolled out. The damage produced by this lying machine will be unimaginable.
- Comment on YouTube will start using AI to guess your age. 1 week ago:
I watch plenty of penguinz0, This Old House, Smosh, and lawn care videos. Can’t wait to find out what YouTube makes of that.

I can’t unsubscribe, but you bet I can avoid every one of Marvel’s Phase 6 movies next year in protest.

Would upgrading to an aftermarket display system be capable of avoiding this?
- Comment on [Episode] DAN DA DAN Season 2 • Dandadan 2nd Season - Episode 6 discussion 2 months ago:
I was getting extremely strong X Japan Kurenai vibes from HAYASii to the point that you can actually play both tracks side by side and they almost line up. So good!
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t sleep on Enterprise. Sure it starts off a bit lousy, but by the end you’ll be upset that it was cancelled.

Since when did the word “statue” now also mean “award”?
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 months ago:
When stores started marking up the “regular” price to hit bigger percentages is about when I started price tracking things I knew I’d buy later down the road. Looking at you, Best Buy!
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 months ago:
I periodically keep tabs on new HDD prices in my area. Black Friday hasn’t had the same deep discounts it once did.

This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 2 months ago:
Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.
In any case, money was involved.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 2 months ago:
I just can’t believe that the retro community has not latched onto some trademark moniker at this point to avoid any kind of legal trouble. Tendo? NTDO? I dunno, anything! lol
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 2 months ago:
Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?
- Comment on AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us. 2 months ago:
At the very least it’ll help with your spelling and grammar.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 3 months ago:
Depends on the complexity of the route. When I visit my parents in another city (5-6 hour drive) I write down the intersections/exit numbers to look out for on a sticky note I leave on the dashboard.
I guess if you wanted to get detailed you could include the distance then as you drive do the mental math as an activity for yourself.

I do something similar except I’ll stop using my GPS if I’ve driven the route multiple times.
