Because the trend was detected via New York’s helpline.

Remakes -_- I sleep
- Comment on EVE Frontier Goes Public Today with Founder Access: New Era 2 weeks ago:
They fumbled the marketing for frontier so bad. There were always comments asking what the game is even about. They explained it so badly people assumed it’s vaporware. Barely anyone was streaming/viewing it on launch.

The menu has 7 chapters listed
- Comment on DELTARUNE chapters 3-4 are out now! 3 weeks ago:
Instant buy. Bit of a shame the demo didn’t have Steam cloud saving and I lost my save. Even though it’s been a long time since I played, would’ve been nice to have it either way and any possible effects it would have on the state of the game. At least the full version does have cloud save though!
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 5 weeks ago:
Yeah this being just as easy on bb forums or literally any webpage with a public comment section was my first thought as well…
Isn’t most of the internet scraped anyways, by the internet archive? The concerning part is that this is 100% going to be used to train some coomer brained AI. Scraping, botting, scamming: all those things are going to happen on large public communities.
- Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. 5 weeks ago:
Afaik space isn’t self cooling. Overheating of spacecraft is a thing. I think they can only cool through infrared radiation or something.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a bumper crop of level 10 CVEs in the latest and “greatest” version of Windows 7 that will never get patched. Unless you have one of those special enterprise licenses that they keep updating.
- Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux 1 month ago:
Seems like a good website to direct people to via posters in your local community center or church. Or you can call a repair club in your area to ask if they want to be listed. Those are likely to have some Linux enthousiast members and already have a location.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 1 month ago:
Yes, so do I. I phrased that a bit weird when I read it again 😅
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 1 month ago:
It’s not as simple as telling people to use F-Droid. People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle. Unless I’m misremembering? I wouldn’t know because I run CalyxOS.

Don’t give any money to domain squatters.
- Comment on Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) 1 month ago:
Oh yeah KeyWe is great fun! Some levels took me and my partner two tries but it’s nothing too punishing. Highly recommended
- Comment on Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) 1 month ago:
Me and the wife played
- DERU - The Art of Cooperation is a pretty puzzle game that is satisfying, not too difficult nor does it overstay its welcome.
- We also enjoyed the snake-esque puzzler OmoTomO. Only on itch, not Steam, so you have to install it via the desktop mode. When you’re willing to dig a bit itch grants you some shiny gold nuggets for cheap.
- In Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime you have to run around a spaceship to operate the different parts (engine, guns, shield). More straightforward than it sounds, and the pacing is such that you’re not rushed but do get some tense moments.
Some games recommended by other people in the thread that we can corroborate
- Trine series is good platforming fun with pretty graphics and dialog that is a little on the nose sometimes.
- Kingdom: Two Crowns is good for a few hours at least, can’t say I cared about beating it.
Personally I agree on Overcooked, once the novelty wears off it gets a bit frustrating because of the difficulty. Its still fun in groups though.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
That is addressed in the article
Even after users change their account password, however, it remains valid for RDP logins indefinitely. In some cases, [independent security researcher Daniel] Wade reported, multiple older passwords will work while newer ones won’t.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 months ago:
Its kind of ironic that all you’re thinking about is money while these modders are doing it for the love of the craft. Sure everyone would love to see a paid release of Skyblion on Steam like Valve allowed with Black Mesa, but the modders are building this regardless.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 months ago:
What is the point of this cynical comment in this context. Everyone is winning here.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 months ago:
Nothing? What about the development and free public release of the Creation Kit?
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 months ago:
This whole comment thread sucks lol. The top reaction literally just says “go away”. Talk about wannabe authoritarian tankies
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 2 months ago:
Lmao what is Synology smoking. I have used their hardware in the past, now I’m so glad that I chose a Nextcloud setup for my home storage solution.
Also why does the nonsense reasoning for these limitations always include “security”. That’s a rhetorical question btw, I know they are just making shit up.
This comment by Frodo Douchebaggins in the Ars Technica comments sums up my newfound opinion of Synlogy pretty well:
Suck a turd, you enshittifying sons of bitches.
- Comment on This is what resistance to the digital coup looks like 2 months ago:
A few channels like The Linux Experiment post videos to both, probably for the reasons that you mentioned. Its uncommon though, because most YouTube channels are (partially) in it for the money. No ad revenue on PeerTube!
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 2 months ago:
They’ll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I’m not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw “smart tv” features, slow and inconvenient as hell.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 months ago:
This is not the tally that the article is talking about though
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 months ago:
Maybe it also counts transactions from the Steam Market? I also found my TotalSpend hard to believe, but it’s also not like I’ve traded hundreds of dollars worth of items in the market.
The description of the support page notes that these values are used to determine some sort of limited user account status. It might not be intended to keep an accurate tally. I wouldn’t be surprised if these values are only available due to gdpr and accuracy of the description was not a priority when they set it up.
That or I’m huffing copium about my game expenses 😅
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #10 2 months ago:
Wow that defamation lawsuit against Karl Jobst is spicy. I’m pretty sure I saw that video a long long time ago. 350k is a giant fine, I wonder if YouTube pays that well. This is what you get for purposely misrepresenting something for a better story I guess.
- Comment on Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it? 2 months ago:
I’m not against patents in general but looking at the list of specific insanity-induced hallucinations being patented this whole thing is ridiculous. This is on the level of being able to patent giving your restaurant guests cutlery. How is any designer supposed to keep track of which specific micro events are patented like this.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
The article is about protecting the integrity of Wikipedia from admins with ulterior motives. Regardless of the correctness of the article, “going after Wikipedia to take it down” does not describe the topic in the slightest. Why does this have so many upvotes? Are any of you even reading the linked article?
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 2 months ago:
Facebook and YouTube weren’t as good at recommending things back then. It’s not the internet as a whole that’s the problem, it’s what social media has become. Addiction skinner boxes. It’s not ok for kids to grow up using that.
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 2 months ago:
This is solving a systematic problem. The problem of social media companies having free reign to make kids addicted. This will give french kids more freedom to think and do actual things with their life.
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 2 months ago:
A good reason for banning smartphones is social media addiction. Not internet searching. Its currently normal for 12 year olds to be on their phone 6-12 hours a day. And because of peer pressure parents can’t do anything about it. A kid without a phone is isolated because everything happens in chat and social media.
There are more thorough solutions like age gating social media but a blanket school ban is a good start. If you still don’t believe me you should really read up on what smartphones do to a kid. Addiction, lack of self control, no attention span, nearsightedness, the list goes on. Based on leaked research by TikTok itself btw.
In China they don’t destroy their own kids because they already know the effects. TikTok shows different stuff (educational content and propaganda), and kids are limited to 40m(!!!) per day. Everyone is going to deal with scores of fucked up kids while they don’t.
