If you never played Magicka you should give it a shot.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
Should be the standard anyway. Reading email and texts from work, or responding to calls, is work. Unless your contact specifies on-call hours, you should ignore your boss outside of working hours.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 4 weeks ago:
Switched back to Linux this week and I couldn’t be happier.
- Comment on UFO 50 is a retro gamer's dream - I highly recommend it 1 month ago:
I think this is very deliberate. Having played at least a chunk of all 50 games, there are only two or three that I think would have benefitted greatly from more instructions or tutorialization. Figuring out how each game works and being surprised when you find a new way to use the very simple controls is part of the experience.
- Comment on Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games? 1 month ago:
I don’t know much about the MMP, but I thought it ran Linux – can you not install steam games?
- Comment on Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games? 1 month ago:
UFO50 just came out and is wonderful.
- Comment on Satisfactory 1.0 2 months ago:
They’re both Epic, my guy – do you just specifically dislike one of the engineers working on EOS or what?
- Comment on Satisfactory 1.0 2 months ago:
I dislike Sweeny et al more than most, but do you boycott all UE games?
- Comment on Satisfactory 1.0 2 months ago:
Brother it’s on other platforms… What’s your complaint? It’s a UE5 game 🧐
- Comment on Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all desktop users worldwide | It is Firefox’s strongest privacy protection to date, confining cookies to the site where they were created 2 months ago:
This is currently one of the biggest selling points for the browser, since Chrom(ium) is dropping support for v2… So I don’t see that happening.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 6 months ago:
That just makes it a more effective filter for what you’re looking for. Many people on the apps aren’t interested in a long text conversation and would rather get to know each other in person. If you prefer conversing online for a while, then count it as a win if someone ignores or unmatches you for sending them a long message.
- Comment on Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features 6 months ago:
Yes, but they probably won’t. For Sony, Linux/Steam Deck players are less than a rounding error.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 6 months ago:
Yeah it’s pretty disappointing. Their analytics blog used to be awesome too, tons of cool insights and it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. I assume the entire operation got bought up by VC money in the gold rush of Tinder clones.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 6 months ago:
The problem is not that people are typing on phones… It’s that all of the apps are now driven by profit-maximizing algorithms instead of algorithms that try to find your best match. OkCupid used to be the best dating site hands down because of the match percentage from the questions, but now it’s just Different Tinder. You can still have great heartfelt conversations on mobile dating apps, it’s just harder now.

Ah yes, Keanu Reeves, famed for his compelling vocal performances…
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 7 months ago:
I didn’t ask Gab “is climate change real”, I asked it to “tell me about climate change”. If it’s not obvious, I agree that climate change is definitely real and human-caused, my point is that the prompt in the OP explicitly says to deny climate change, and that is not what the AI did with my prompt.
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 7 months ago:
I tried asking it about climate change and gender identity and got totally unremarkable politically “neutral” corpo-speak, equivalent to ChatGPT or Bard. If this is the initial prompt it’s not having much effect lol
- Comment on Choose your ultimate lineup! 8 months ago:
They’re definitely not a band that I actively revisit, but compared to most of the shit on this list they’re better than tolerable.
- Comment on Choose your ultimate lineup! 8 months ago:
A SOAD + Deftones + AAF concert would fucking slap.
- Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users 9 months ago:
Threads specifically about Windows are one of the best places to suggest Linux.
- Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users 9 months ago:
? What are you talking about?
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Dota has always been a drastically better game, I see this as an absolute win for Linux. League is cancer.
