Which city? I’ve been keeping an eye on her news and I still feel like I miss shit
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 1 day ago:
Exactly. People keep going on and on about how democrats would never get away with this shit, it’s because that’s the role they play. They tall poppy the actual good people out of the system, and present themselves as the good option when the only other choice is a rampaging fascism.
Like, I get the frustration, but at this point if feels too in the nose to miss anymore. Like people are getting gunned down randomly in the streets, it’s not that complicated.

You are speaking my language
- Comment on Choosing to live fucking sucks sometimes 3 days ago:
I feel that, in theory I’m mostly the same, but it’s the traumatic events that really deliver the haymaker and get under my defences unfortunately. Things slowly taking away my ability to function won’t kill me, but they do make the big events more powerful over me.

This is the best article I’ve seen in a while
- Comment on One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference 6 days ago:
That’s kind of how I feel lately. I’ve always tried to act well, be kind, etc, but sometimes all I feel like is I’ve exhausted myself for no reason. Society is too big to see the consequences of your actions I think.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 week ago:
Yep, that was exactly the reason.
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 week ago:
There’s a problem in movies that I keep thinking about in relation to this.
Movies often use music from other movies in early cuts to get something rough together. They time the scenes around the music, they work with it for ages, and finally it’s time to make an original track to replace the rough copy.
But they have to use something that’s the same tempo, because of how the scenes were timed around the old music. And it has to fit in the same vibe, because that’s what the old music felt like.
So you end up with a piece of music that’s usually pretty close to what they made, and a lot of Hollywood osts sound almost identical. When I see people talk about using gen ai for placeholders and concept art, I see that same problem turning up.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 1 week ago:
God that sounds nice actually, I miss it terribly

- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 weeks ago:
Oh absolutely, the strategy has always been to secure the market, make it difficult to leave the service, and jack up the profit. The only thing we can do is recognise it happening and work to make alternatives available, work on our own skillsets instead of relying on their tools.
Which is a shame, but the mask is off as of late, and we can’t do much about that.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 weeks ago:
I believe they get weird about local accounts on recent versions of 11, even ones that already existed. I’m not going to verify, but yeah I think the point is they’re moving towards them basically not existing.

I mean you joke, but the earth does bulge in the center a little
- Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users 1 month ago:
Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.

Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?
- Comment on UZDoom the successor to GZDoom has a first proper release out now 1 month ago:
Doom still has a massive community for custom maps and mods, entire games have been made using gzdoom as an engine. Myhouse.wad made the goty list on IGN back in 2023. Safe to say yes, people do play these a lot.
I have to say I take issue with the idea of something being objectively worse, that’s not how objectively works. Objective is a statement like “doom came out over 30 years ago”.

- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 1 month ago:
It kind of bothers me that people are putting the responsibility on valve for this, when the companies themselves have purposefully not enabled compatibility in most cases.
- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 1 month ago:
Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Might be permissions of whichever environment you’re running the sh in? Or potentially it wants that exact version, I’m only mildly competent at Linux at this point.
- Comment on Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2 2 months ago:
For sure, but those are all individually rebuilt from the ground up for that purpose of running on an arm chip. I can’t run my favourite games from 2008 on my phone, or a weird indie niche title. With technology like this, you probably could, and quite easily if done right.
It’s not just about the games either, it’s a good step towards making all programs somewhat hardware agnostic. The ARM x86 septation was pretty much set in concrete up until now, it’s a crazy advancement.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 months ago:
Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.
- Comment on Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2 2 months ago:
I was just thinking that, some phones are pretty beefy, there’s no reason to not do this.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Yeah installed it a few days ago, super easy. It comes with a Linux/steam deck install guide.

Look up wheel slipping, I assure you they can do burnouts and the amount of power behind them is scary AF haha

I kept reading stairs but yeah both I guess
- Comment on Which year was the most stacked for game releases? 2 months ago:
Ditto this, 2007 was a fucking crazy year. All that next gen hit at once, people still taking risks on unique ideas. Nowadays you only see that kind of stuff from the indie scene, though they’ve been doing a great job with it IMO.
- Comment on ‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge 2 months ago:
Such a brain-dead stance on the matter. Nobody is asking for your garbage DRM servers, we literally want the opposite of that.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 2 months ago:
I’m gonna be that guy, most of them are in some way or another. The devs literally decided to not bother pressing the button that enables compatibility because they don’t feel like it.
