- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 2 days ago:
I don’t care about The Expanse, but I do care about Owlcat. I’ll have to keep an eye on this one.
- Comment on MindsEye - Official Launch Trailer | 2025 3 days ago:
A trailer having a sad girl cover of a song never inspires confidence in me.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 6 days ago:
Here’s why I still use Plex: for me Jellyfin hasn’t been easy to work the way I want it to. I mostly access my media on an Nvidia Shield, and the Jellyfin Android TV app just refuses to play certain videos; I can play them if I use VLC as an external player, but not within the app itself. The more pressing issue is that Jellyfin just refuses to play 5.1 audio, and downmixes everything to stereo. I have other issues, but these are the ones that prevent me from using it.
For me Plex just works.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 2 weeks ago:
Definitely, but as a counterpoint it’s also much more sensible ergonomically. The Switch makes my hands hurt, the Steam Deck doesn’t.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been pretty consistently buying Nintendo consoles, but I’m not buying this one. Not just because of this, but I challenge these assholes to brick the device I end up playing their games on.
- Comment on Silent Hill 2 (remake) now on GOG 4 weeks ago:
I presume they still haven’t fixed the traversal stutter…
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 month ago:
I’m not blaming UE5, but I’m capable of pattern recognition. There’s a pattern of developers not fixing UE5 issues and releasing games with them still present. The fault lies with both game developers and UE developers.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 month ago:
If somebody didn’t realize it was almost certainly going to run poorly the second it was revealed to use UE5, I wouldn’t even know what to say to them.

No, it is boring.

As long as you’re running KDE, it will feel familiar to a Windows user. I started with Kubuntu which was great until I had a system update, and it completely shat itself. Wanted to try Bazzite next, but the installer wouldn’t work properly, so I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I’ve seen no reason to switch since.
- Comment on Junk Store: BIG update on what is next 2 months ago:
I use the Decky plugin, and paid for GOG support, but they have their work cut out for them in convincing me to pay for this. Running Heroic isn’t that much of a hassle.
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 2 months ago:
Journalists in general have lost an unbelievable amount of credibility, and games bloggers are the bottom of the barrel.
- Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin? 2 months ago:
I’ve had a lifetime pass for years, but have considered making the switch several times. So far I’ve held back because, and correct me if I’m wrong, there are told to transfer watch state, but not ratings, and while there’s a plugin for dynamic collections, it’s based on tags, so you can’t just have a collection based on something like rating. My library also contains “custom” shows where there’s no match for it online, so I’ve manually assigned it some details.
- Comment on The System Shock 2 remaster comes out June 26th 2 months ago:
I got excited for a second until I realized it’s a remaster. Yeah, I don’t really care at that point.
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 4 months ago:
Can’t say that I’ve ever had this issue. Usually mod authors will tell you where to install them, or package the files in a folder structure such that there is no thinking involved.
- Comment on Sony's Crunchyroll Finds Its Early Lead in Anime Under Attack 5 months ago:
If you’re using sonarr and radarr, which is definitely not what most pirates are doing, piracy is the most convenient by leagues. You get everything under one service and it automatically shows up as soon as it’s available in the quality you’ve specified interest in.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 7 months ago:
Sid Meier’s Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate games.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 7 months ago:
True, but even through Steam, you’re still dealing with Ubi’s launcher and Denuvo, so it’s just adding another layer on top.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 7 months ago:
I wanted to play this, but not enough to interact with their launcher and Denuvo.
- Comment on Link to Dan Da Dan Episode 2 Discussion 7 months ago:
I agree, I would never subscribe to such a specific community, and the decentralization, to my eye, leads to less user engagement; if one of these link posts don’t have comments, I’m less inclined to even click on it in the first place.
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 8 months ago:
Hell yeah. I went with Kubuntu because I figured it would be easy for a beginner to troubleshoot eventual issues, given the amount of asked-and-answered Ubuntu queries online.

If you’re coming from Windows, something that runs KDE Plasma will feel very familiar.
