• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were a console vendor and I were worried about the PC as a competing platform, I’d think that I’d try to emphasize my competitive multiplayer games, not single-player games.

  Step one: Don’t charge extra for online play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You can pay 6€ for shipping today or help amazon finally become the monopolist, and then tomorrow your batteries will just cost 10€.

  Another way is to ask at the next electronics store as I’m sure they can order them with their next routine shipment.

  None for the Austrians though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you know that you explicitly disagree with somebody on certain aspects, their opinion will be just as useful to you as if you liked exactly what they like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We tested a transport app that cost the public £4m against Google Maps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no! Somebody else might benefit from something you would’ve made anyway, at no additional cost to you! The horror!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird idea but bear with me: They could, and this will shock some of you, I hope you’re sitting in a safe position … They could revive Starcraft as fucking Starcraft!

  Planned economy is not a defining feature of communism, nor is it exclusive to it.

  governed by it’s native Population

  It’s governed by the CCP that violently suppresses all dissent.

  with a public policy centered on general social welfare.

  I’m sure the people living in huts they just bulldoze to build highways will agree.

  Communism would be a classless society free from rulers. I see neither condition fulfilled.

  An important defining feature is ownership of the means of production by the workers (not the authoritarian single party government that claims to speak for them and tolerates no dissent). There literally can be no billionaire company owner under communism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The newer Anno installments. I’m not buying another Ubisoft game unless they get rid of their stupid Launcher, and I’m also not buying anything with Denuvo and similar BS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Review and Retrospective- Is It Worth It In 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still longing for a new terror from the deep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta's latest subscription move is an attempt to offset its AI bets⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are reachable though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noooooo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the times are usually the other way around. I have coworkers who’d need two sentences for the actual question but wrap it in 15 minutes of useless small talk when they are on the phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's barely a science.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s plenty of “actual” economists like that, and unfortunately some of them are among the generally most listened to, they lead prominent institutes and advise my home country’s government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's barely a science.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem is that the math they do is often based on assumptions that have repeatedly been disproven but are still treated like gospel.

  If you assume 2+2=5 you can follow up with as much correct math as you like, your results will always be shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck you Jeff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Such a dreamy guy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just because it’s pronounced “Bose” instead of “Bose”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Such a dreamy guy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  His name is Jose!

  Jose-Einstein-Condensate!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rolling back, sometimes because of file system corruption (had damaged RAM). Shouldn’t restoring be similar as long as the snapshot is intact?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done that a few times now without issue. What’s wrong with it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody who has to work for a living is part of the working class. Further division is just “divide et impera” by the owners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Chairs are fucking expensive though. It’s always like “oh, this table is only 300” “yeah, but the matching chairs are 120 each”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Rogue with Posts Suggesting Trump Is a Pedophile and Erika Kirk Is JD Vance in Drag⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, so it finally broke through whatever enforcement of fascist talking points they had put in place?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Germany, where I’m from, FDP (“die Liberalen”) is a prime example. They are notorious for campaigning on civil liberties issues and then, once in government, dropping most or all of them in favor of radical deregulation and tax gifts for rich people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support

  Those are all things that the liberals of old supported. But the parties that call themselves “liberal” today are usually strictly neoliberal. So that’s what people have come to associate with the term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never pre-order.

  I do early access only in very specific cases where it’s an indie studio and the game already offers a lot of value. E.g. Satisfactory was in early access for a long time when it was basically a finished game you could sink hundreds of hours into. But I read and watch a lot of reviews before I buy into one of those. Can’t do that with a pre-order.

  You’re literally the boiled frog right now and it would be funny to watch if it wasn’t so sad.

  Never pre-order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s Spotify, why? YT premium costs just about as much.

  Because it’s not google.
