- Comment on Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder 2 hours ago:
My entire job depends on such an app, so this is a bit of a relief.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants 1 week ago:
Couldn’t agree more. But such is life.
- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 1 week ago:
I’m sorry I don’t follow this company’s actions as closely as you do. I can’t even remember the last time I used Oracle-branded software.
- Comment on Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy! 1 week ago:
At first I thought the title said, “Let’s end Anti-circumcision”. I was like, “why?”.
- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 1 week ago:
Oh so it’s a greed thing, but not quite a Nestlé level of evil thing, then. Meh.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants 1 week ago:
Nah, most people in the US have no idea any of this is going on. For the vast majority of Americans, their daily lives have not been affected at all. None of my coworkers are talking about ICE. Personally I haven’t since a single ICE officer since. They only go after the “liberal” states. Purple and Red states are being left alone for the time being.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. We congregate on platforms like this because we’re too weird for the normies in the real world.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
At this point I’m pretending that the game hasn’t even been announced yet.
I admit I bought an XBOX 360 for GTA V so I wouldn’t have to wait for PC, but TBF you could get a used 360 for about $60 because the next gen was just around the corner. I’m not seeing any PS5s selling for sntjerre near that cheap, so I won’t be playing GTA VI until it releases on PC this time around.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 2 weeks ago:
Wasn’t Game Pass like $6/mo on PC not too long ago? Who’s paying $20 for this crap? The game selection isn’t even that good.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. I really enjoy Windows 11’s HDR implementation. Never has it been more simple to get HDR working properly.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
Because I don’t want to stand up with shit still sticking to my cheeks. I flush immediately to minimize the smell.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
People who haven’t seen that video of a toilet flushing under just the right lighting, where you can see the water splattering everywhere.
It’s the reason why I always hop in the shower and wash my ass with soap after a shit, cause not even a bidet will clean up that mess. Ever wonder why your ass cheeks feel wet after a multi-flusher? Cause they are.
- Comment on What’s up with Myrrh being more prevalent? 3 weeks ago:
Confirmation bias. I’m not seeing this word anywhere except in your post.
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t have but AM5 requires it.
- Comment on Why do we produce so much porn? 4 weeks ago:
What I want to. Know more is how do we produce do much porn? How have we not run out of women willing to do it yet?
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 4 weeks ago:
DDR4 does not fit in my DDR5 slots.
- Comment on Netflix acquires gaming avatar maker Ready Player Me 4 weeks ago:
Last game I played that let you use your own face was Tony Hawk’s Underground (either 1 or 2, don’t remember). That was about 20 years ago at this point. I’m surprised that more games don’t have this feature, especially in the era of modern smartphones that can do a 3D scan of your face.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think you can, but the game is so boring that I never played long enough to find out. That’s the point I’m making.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 5 weeks ago:
No.
The sameness of every planet was a major turnoff for me, plus the scale of the universe pretty much guarantees that you’ll never run into another player organically. The game is basically just Minecraft in space, except worse.
This is the reason why I don’t like procedurally-generated games. What’s the point of a big, massive universe, if it’s nothing but a bunch of generated sameness? Environments that weren’t handcrafted are a major turnoff for me. As someone who sees video games as art, it just feels soulless and empty. Like AI-generated art, except it’s an entire game.

Bruh you forgot about me… :|
Pretty sure I asked for Arkham Knight before anyone else. No point in complaining about free lunch, but still…

How did your mom react?
- Comment on You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time. 5 weeks ago:
I closed my eyes and pointed at a random spot. Got Thief twice in a row.
Guess I gotta play it now.
- Comment on Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of the war? 5 weeks ago:
The only use I could see for learning the language is if you use a lot of Russian torrent sites, and are too lazy to switch the language back to English when installing games from them.
- Comment on Using E-Ink tablet as monitor for Linux - alavi.me 5 weeks ago:
I’m in once they hit 120Hz minimum. I’m too used to HFR now. 60hz looks like a slideshow.
- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 5 weeks ago:
Who said anything about tossing stuff out? Use what you’ve got for as long as you can. When it’s time to upgrade, upgrade.
- Comment on Bell peppers are the same colours as traffic lights 5 weeks ago:
That’s…not what I was talking about…

Yeah, actually, cause I’m usually the one bringing the cocaine.

So are mangos.

They’re not wrong, though. Also fuck the NRA.

Arkham Knight, please and thank you
