- Comment on Four wheels good, two wheels bad: why are there no exciting cycling games? 2 days ago:
Road cycling is a rich persons sport, gaming is circuses for us poors.
No one wants to play ‘tour de riche’
A /decent/ Downhill game could be good (Descenders wasn’t it., super wide mariokart-esque tracks - give me some goat tracks that need berms on the corners)
- Comment on Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona? 6 days ago:
Humble hasn’t been worth it since IGN bought it.
- Comment on What do you use for music library streaming? 1 week ago:
Mstream - it’s the lightest and simplest of streaming servers.
- Comment on New article says #StarCitizen will release in 2027-2028, we contacted the author to ask for clarification on the source and he quoted Chris Roberts himself as saying "1 or 2 Y probably after S42" 1 week ago:
Does SQ42 even have a concrete release date?

Any map depicting UTC0 in the centre and not the international date line in the centre is unequal.
-t Pacific nations.

Four deaths.

Then CoD wasn’t balanced for lean.
- Comment on Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’ 2 weeks ago:
‘Lies’ is more accurate to say than ‘wrong’
He’s an investor, he’s pushing positions hoping his investments and/or shorts pay out.

Investor makes up garbage to advance his own investment position, again
When are these people going to face the consequences they deserve?
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure why people are commenting that I think fiber isn’t real?
Of course it’s real.
But maybe you’re young- Comcast, AT&T, etc, have been given multiple tranches of money since the early 1990s to deliver a nationwide fiber network in the US, they’ve never delivered more than 0.1% of it.
Giving them more money, won’t make it happen.
Giving municipalities (cities, counties) the funds to build out their own fiber networks is good.
Giving more money to Comcast and AT&T to do nothing, is not good, it’s corporate welfare.
- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 2 weeks ago:
“And that’s where you’re wrong, buddy. Damn I look good.”
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 2 weeks ago:
As much as I dislike the muskrat, is this fiber actually real?
ISPs in US have been given billions of dollars, multiple times to bring Fiber out and each time they’ve pocketed the cash and done nothing.
Starlink at the very least, exists.
If this is going to counties and cities to build out municipal fiber, then screw StarLink.
If this is going to AT&T, again, for the fourth time to build this fiber, then no, give it to StarLink since AT&T will never actually build out that service, fourth time is not the charm.
I take umridge with StarLink’s notion that Fiber is slow to build out though - the single biggest expense and time consuming part of rolling out a GPON network is getting it from the street to inside a premesis.
Guess which part StarLink still has to do and it isn’t any cheaper…
- Comment on Steam Beta: Wider store pages; Video support for written game descriptions 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad we’ve finally moved away from the silly idea that all web content needs to be in a tiny little narrow box designed for phone and tablet consumption.
Hopefully Wikipedia will finally restore the real CSS too.

If it had been ‘free’ as part of NSO, I don’t the reception would be as bad.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 weeks ago:
I guess only Nintendo is allowed to release games then.
Sony can’t, Playstation has a web browser and therefore games do not belong on it.

Live services.
The thing Sony has done so well at over the last decade.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 3 weeks ago:
Codeberg or anything hosted in the EU is an unfortunate no-go.
GDPR DoS Bomb made it so - ‘right to forget’ means that a bad actor can kill a major project by invoking their right to forget, which would mean all code they’ve ever submitted would have be audited out.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 3 weeks ago:
If you consider using software that has version control on GitHub immoral, then using TCP/IP is immoral.
- Comment on Meanwhile in America 3 weeks ago:
What is this commie ‘meter’?
Uh, it’s the length a photon travels under vacuum during a time interval between two hyperfine ground states of caesium-133 divided by 299792458. Duh.
