This is my fourth profile on the Fediverse lol. This time, I'm hoping Mbin is where I stay!
- Comment on Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation' 2 months ago:
Honestly, that's fair. Maybe I was being a little too harsh, plus this gen did come with more customizable settings (IE, setting to "performance mode" or "fidelity" mode)
- Comment on Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation' 2 months ago:
I feel like we hear this every single time though. "Largest tech leap in a hardware generation" very much means "we'll bump the graphics a little, we're still targeting 30fps though"
- Comment on Whatever Happened to SimCity? 2 months ago:
SimCity had great ideas (thinking of SimCity Societies in particular here) but as others have mentioned, piss poor execution.
Cities Skylines came in with good execution and stole their entire market share from them.
- Comment on What are your favorite cloud-based logging providers which do not require a business email to sign up? 3 months ago:
I ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you, though!

Thank you for this advice. I actually ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you again, though!
- Comment on What are your favorite cloud-based logging providers which do not require a business email to sign up? 3 months ago:
Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won't let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension

- Comment on Is Antivirus needed in 2024? 3 months ago:
Windows Defender should be more than good enough for most users. Just make sure to use an adblocker (such as UBlock Origin), only visit HTTPS sites as much as you can (you should see a lock in the corner of the URL bar on most browsers) and ensure you always virus-scan programs you downloaded before running them.
Also, exercise caution on the Internet in general. Never just click "yes" when a program asks for admin permission - make sure you check exactly which program is trying to do it and that the publisher is reasonable. Never exit read-only mode on Office-suite documents unless you know the document is for-sure safe (exiting read-only mode allows macros to run).
Doing all of this, Windows Defender should do fine. I'm assuming 99% of this is common sense for you though, since you've already found your way to the Fediverse!
- Comment on What game fits this? 3 months ago:
That's why there's mods! Also, if the caves get samey, you can always go end-busting or build a new project.
- Comment on What game fits this? 3 months ago:
Minecraft. There's always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings...
- Comment on Microsoft is seeking a software architect to port Microsoft 365 to Rust 3 months ago:
Very, very real haha
- Comment on Mastodon security update: every version prior to today's is vulnerable to remote user impersonation and takeover 3 months ago:
Welp. I'm glad Stux was already updating earlier. Honestly, Stux probably knew before just about everyone else

- Comment on Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 delisted from Steam | VGC 3 months ago:
This sort of stuff is why piracy is important.
- Comment on What are some ways I can increase the longevity of my gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion Slim 7 w/ RTX 4060)? 3 months ago:
Interesting! I'll keep an eye out. Do you know what caused the failures or was it just out of nowhere?

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches 3 months ago:
I guess I'm moreso hoping the brands get in - specifically Samsung, Google and the others I listed. I think it would spur on a lot of new development in that area which is always a good thing
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches 3 months ago:
Pretty much - or Samsung, Xiaomi, Nothing or any of the other Android brands pretty much
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches 3 months ago:
Not shocked about the headaches (happens with most of the headsets), but I'm a little sad about the weight issues. That sucks
- Comment on Is there a way to set the time filters to "past year" for Ecosia? 3 months ago:
Bet, I completely forgot about Searxng. Pretty much a perfect fit (too bad it's not as environmentally conscious necessarily, but eh)
