• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with his points about the $80 dollar games not being a sustainable price point, especially in places like Australia or Brazil which suffer from higher game prices! This is a stupid move on the part of Nintendo…It’s made me rethink buying their Switch 2 as a result. I will wait and see if they have a moment of clarity which derails this bad decision. If they don’t, I hope the market slaps them in the face and buys games that are reasonably priced!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sticking with Linux due to the bullshit that Microsoft is constantly pulling. Currently, my PC is running Fedora 41, and I love it quite a bit; currently I can’t imagine a future where I return to Windows 11. Proton Compatibility Layer makes gaming on any distro fairly easy!

  ROFL Irony is lost on some, so this is not at all surprising.

  Ah, the USA is so fucking doomed unless as a people we push these facists and grifters out of office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people who drink, how long do your hangovers last?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally don’t get hangovers because I moderate my alcohol intake…Chasing with small sips of water or nonalcoholic drinks, I only remember feeling really fuzzy after a night of bad choices as a younger man. It lasted hours, but was more like a temporary brain fog and not very difficult to overcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could Mass Effect 5 be a live-service title?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If EA chooses the stupid route and BioWare doesn’t fight back…Yep, it could be and it would be a DOA game. Given that EA C-Suites don’t have more than 3 shared brain cells between them; they’ll fail to notice that Sony axed their live service game ambitions. They’ll pretend to not see the other struggling live service game companies, and think that Mass Effect as a franchise will have the drive behind it to win. It won’t give that Andromeda was such a flop which didn’t excite a lot of Mass Effect fans.

  This is a game that cannot fail (lest the Mass Effect franchise fall into ruin), but will if too many bad decisions are made in the development process.

  Good question, I don’t know if the feature has officially been deployed yet. You should keep an eye out for any feature reviews, as I’m not interested to find out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it is good for accessibility, that’s why I merely dislike it over absolutely hating it. The implementation will help those who need it, anyone that doesn’t want to use this can handily avoid it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hrm, I don’t like it but thankfully VLC isn’t going to force it on users like most scumbag companies do.

  I’m glad this is an add-on I can ignore…Mozilla hasn’t completely shotgunned the LLM koolaid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, that’s why killings of this nature might rise…As our justice system favors these rich fuckers, and won’t raise a finger unless it’s truly horrible. I didn’t even know about the Sackler family myself, for good reason, as this family like to keep a low profile whenever possible!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The few people I’ve talked to about the matter don’t care about the CEO being murdered as his decision were so ruthless and harmed many. A coworker mentioned it would’ve been better if that CEO was put on trial for his bullshit as so many were being fucked over by callous capitalist choices. That this man needed to be made an example of so those fat cats would be worried as fuck.

  I’m also not sad that scumbag is dead; I’m sad that circumstances pushed the accused to the edge that an assassination of a CEO was the right answer. The system is so fucked, this should be an alarm bell ringing event. Knowing the good old USA, it will be swept under the rug until a real violent uprising happens.

  That was a delayed grift release, no wonder they stealth launched it (given it would’ve tarnished them even more). I hope they get a lot of shit for this scammy ‘game’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a casual user of Linux (no strong inclination or skill in coding), I tend to veer towards distros that minimize the Terminal usage in favor of graphical user interfaces for accomplishing most changes. Modern Linux is a lot friendlier in terms of installing Software from a distro store and graphic drivers via a graphical interface. You won’t ever fully be able to eliminate the terminal usage, as it’s inevitable for certain tasks like adding PPAs on Ubuntu for example. It was honestly word salad for me during my first foray into the Linux world; but now I have a basic understanding of the Linux kernel and how it functions on a very surface level. I know enough to string commands together and understand the reason why it’s necessary to do things in a certain order.

  I’m not sure if you’d have a good time with Linux, I’m hesitant to tell you to take the plunge because you will have to faff around with the terminal and use commands at times to accomplish certain things. That requires both focus and patience, which is not something which is naturally difficult for those with ADHD (unless a hyperfixation is quite strong). I’d give it a think for a while, ultimately you might be better sticking with the current OS that you’re using.

  I want quality content and not the slop Ubishit and Evil, Actually are wont to create; there are several ‘AAA’ games studios that belong on the right-hand side but wouldn’t fit in the meme well.
