Dog and cat foods are good things to donate, also sanitary items.
- Comment on A month later, Japan’s cheap new PS5 rental service is still proving successful, with 200 locations renting out consoles at 100% capacity 6 days ago:
When I was a kid in the 80s this sort of business model was common with TVs and video recorders, then with early PCs. The machines were too expensive for many people to buy, so they’d rent instead. Cheaper consumer electronics killed this off, but as living standards get tighter maybe we’ll start seeing rentals becoming a thing again.

I like to see good animal or bird life in games, really ups the immersion for me if it’s gotta good algorithm. Do they react if you kick em? An I think ppl have enjoyed looking after animals in computer games as long as there’s been computer games. I remember these tamagotchi things in the 80s or 90s, little LCD screens with some sorta animal you had to look after by pressing a tiny button.
I’ve been enjoying your screenshot posts, cheers

There’s something I like about those cat pics. Maybe it’s the way they look almost cat, but not entirely. Do they move like cats?
- 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 3 weeks ago:
I had a zx81, 1k ram, still could play pong.

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. 4 weeks 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. 4 weeks 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
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah this is one of the obvious faults in capitalism.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 4 weeks 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. 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Best game ever? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve not played any of the Yakuza games but they are definitely on my list.
- Comment on Best game ever? 4 weeks ago:
I felt much the same about vice city. Changed my understanding of what games could be.

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 5 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

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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla 2 months 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 2 months 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.
