The environmental toll doesn’t have to be that bad. You can get decent results from single high-end gaming GPU.
- Comment on I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one. 3 days ago:
I’ve played the first one briefly. I don’t remember being able to play other characters. I remember the worst part being the combat system was an absolute slog. The later Witcher games don’t have great combat systems either, but it’s at least improved with each generation.
I might go back and play the older witchers eventually but I still haven’t finished Witcher 3 despite like 200 hours in it.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 6 days ago:
While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.
This only applies to new accounts, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 1 week ago:
I use a good chunk of the paid PlexAmp features, although I agree they are mostly just extras.
However, Downloads is a must-have IMO. I often listen to music while traveling, e.g. on a plane or train or on a road trip, and cell service is unreliable in those situations.
- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 1 week ago:
Ah neat, it used to require PlexPass to use the app at all. Now it only requires PlexPass for most of the app, including some pretty basic features like downloads.
Still, it is nice that there’s some level of “free trial” for it.
To be clear I love PlexAmp and use it as my main audio player, but I’ve paid for a plex lifetime pass.

You do need to pay for plexamp
- Comment on Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers 2 weeks ago:
The annoying thing about the dupe policy is sometimes the answer does change and the accepted answer to the existing question is from 5 years ago.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 3 weeks ago:
The treaty isn’t the technology, it’s the result of people much better informed on the topic considering the scenario you are asking about.
The technology is the hypothetical anti-ballistic missiles.

It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

“It’s fine if it’s in a bag and off or silent” has been cell phone policy in my experience (10-20 years ago).
- Comment on Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. 1 month ago:
The only announced Nintendo games that are Switch exclusive are Mario Kart, Kirby Air Ride sequel, and the new Donkey Kong
- Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down 1 month ago:
I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.
It also increases your streaming resolution which is quite useful.
It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.
For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
- literally any foss player vs. what MS offers - be it VLC, SMPlayer, MPV, anything is better than windows built in crap
FFMPEG is an open source command line tool and software library for audio and video encoding. You’ll find it mentioned in the credits of just about any video playing software ever, but you can also just go use it for free.

I like GIMP but find Inkscape impossible to use

Obligatory “fuck Notch” but I really liked the idea of 0x10c when it was announced.

That’s not an outlandish amount of storage. You can get more than that for $200.

Oh whoops got the instructions mixed up
- Comment on The photo I upload is grey no matter what size or format 1 month ago:
Open in GIMP. Create a new image of the same height and width. Copy the original image and paste on top of the new image. Export the new image as jpeg.
I know it’s a hassle but that process should absolutely make sure to remove any colorspace or hdr nonsense that is getting messed up.
- Comment on Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len() 1 month ago:
I’ve worked on a library that’s Python because the users of said library are used to Python.
The original version of the project made heavy use of numpy, so the actual performance sensitive code was effectively C++ and fourtran, which is what numpy is under the hood.
We eventually replaced the performance sensitive part of the code with Rust (and still some fourtran because BLAS) which ended up being about 10x faster.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 month ago:
Huh? My actual GameCube controller works with all games on the Switch 1, although it doesn’t have all the buttons used by some games.

- Comment on I did not like Pokémon Emerald. 1 month ago:
Nice hot take haha. Tbh I like being under-leveled in Pokemon because it’s way too easy most of the time. There definitely is some backtracking in Emerald, although I personally really liked the varied environments. I think it has a lot more variation than gens 1,2 and 4.
- Comment on Request for FPS recommendations. 1 month ago:
Helldivers 2
It’s primarily 3rd person but then again so is Warframe.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 months ago:
- a tool for backing up offline installers
This really should be something they offer for free, and there are already some FOSS options that do this, although they aren’t as good as I’d like.
- ability to install previous versions of a game
This is a feature they already have for free and there would (or at least should) be backlash if they were to lock that behind a subscription
- extra insight into the preservation work they’re doing.
Sure, neat.
- voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.
Sure but said votes better have an actual impact.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 2 months ago:
Grab a box full and test a bunch until you find one that works well for your use case. That way you end up with a resistor that’s much better than the rated tolerance you’d get if you just grabbed one resistor at random.
