- Comment on Implementing a spellchecker on 64 kB of RAM back in the 1970s led to a compression algorithm that's technically unbeaten and part of it is still in use today 1 week ago:
I had a zx81, 1k ram, still could play pong.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 week ago:
Yeah that was when I finally left too. I just didn’t think it was worth it if I had to use the website or their crappy app

Somebody gild this!
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 week ago:
Yeah I quit a while back. I thought it would be harder, I had several old accounts, moderated a couple of small subs, had loads of karma, spent at least an hour a day being active on there. I realised all that shit was sunk cost fallacy and I’m glad I finally left.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
Yeah, they messaged all my accounts asking if I wanted to buy in. I actually considered it for an instant, then thought nah, fuck that.

Thank you for your service.

It was going downhill since they got rid of the woman who was running AMA

Yeah I made the jump a while back with the API thing, welcome

Yeah this is one of the obvious faults in capitalism.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
Sync for me, but same. Plus I didn’t like their attitude.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
Yeah, I came here when they did the API thing. I was spending too much time on reddit anyway, now I’m reading and gaming more in my free time.

I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.
- Comment on Best game ever? 2 weeks ago:
I felt much the same about vice city. Changed my understanding of what games could be.

- Comment on One-handed games? 2 weeks ago:
Tape will come off when they sweat, better sew them together. And trim off those unnecessary arms, it’s just efficiency.
- Comment on Where to find help for a game name 2 weeks ago:
I was playing on Sinclair spectrum and BBC b computers in the 80s but this kinda rings a vague bell. I’ll ask my brother and get back to you if he remembers anything
- Comment on Favourite 90s platformer? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t know about 90s, but Jet Set Willy was pretty great in the 80s
- Comment on A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content 4 weeks ago:
I’d not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I’m struggling to think of examples - do you have some?
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s fair, I thought it would probably be something like that. TBF it’s work, they’re paying me, I’ll use whatever they choose. I won’t have it on my own computer though just because of Microsoft’s hard sell
- Comment on Steam Deck Gaming News 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I dunno if you are aware but there’s also a steam deck sub here and they’d probably be happy if this was posted there too.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 5 weeks ago:
My work insists on using it too. Fuck knows why, maybe it’s a security thing? And my personal laptop is constantly nagging me to use edge - it could be the best browser ever and I would still avoid it just because of the pushiness.

Insurance is going to get crazy expensive.

Hi mate

Hope you feel better soon.
- Comment on Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla 1 month ago:
I know it’s not cool to take the piss out of someone’s appearance - but the fucker really does look like some of his ancestors were potatoes.
- Comment on Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla 1 month ago:
You know it was the French revolution that popularised the guillotine as a means of dealing with wealthy elites?
But yeah I don’t see how Tesla is going to ever repair the damage to their image, unless they can kick musk out and that doesn’t seem likely.
- Comment on Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla 1 month ago:
Yeah, fascism seems to be flourishing all over. I’ve never got the impression that France was any worse than anywhere else though.
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 1 month ago:
I just have this feeling that someday soon we’re going to look back at this time and wish we’d stood up and acted while we could. I’m not advocating murder - but we’re voting in elections and having endless online discussions while the world is circling the drain.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 3 months ago:
I thought the old homeworld games were great. Kind of RTS in space ships. They’re old now but still good.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 5 months ago:
TBH I like an elfbar sometimes. But I know how unsustainable they are, buying one feels worse than buying cocaine or meat or insert whatever fun and ethically challenging item.
I’ve never managed to replicate the disposable taste with a reusable vape, and I’ve had experience with reusables. Anyone know if it’s doable?
