- Comment on Ubisoft lay off another 185 people and shutter one of the studios behind Star Wars: Outlaws and The Division 2 3 days ago:
Ubisoft deserves every bit of this.
Sucks for those people losing their jobs, though.
Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot at every turn they make and making no intention on going back on any of it. Good riddance, Ubisoft. You used to be a company I looked forward to releasing a new game.
- Comment on GDC 2025 survey shows PC game development growing with lots interested in Valve's Steam Deck 6 days ago:
All according to Valve’s plan. No doubt they sell the Deck at a loss because the price is phenomenal for today’s hardware prices on what this can do.
But they’re definitely making up for it in Steam sales and continued market dominance. Not like they needed the latter since the competition is dogshit with even GOG lacking since they have no official Linux support.
- Comment on US bans red dye No. 3 from foods amid evidence it causes cancer 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad to hear this because those food colors are used in areas where they have no business being. That and you can use stuff like beet juice to get colors!
Like genuinely, why the fuck does Mountain Dew in an aluminum, not see through can need all those colors? I understand it’s because it’s the same stuff they put in the clear bottles, but come on.
Then those fruit pies in the store…they’re so freaking good, but did you know they put these artificial colors in those?? Even the vanilla and chocolate ones have it! Like tf dude???
And stuff like coloring cherries is so stupid too. Yeah they get a little brown after a while, who gives a shit? And coloring artificial cherry soda/juice is funny too. It doesn’t have to be red colored, especially not that bright of a red. It looks unnatural at a certain point.
It’s so unnecessary most times and it’s severely unhealthy. It was already unhealthy to begin with, but this just makes it worse.
- Comment on North Korean soldiers in Ukraine show no intent to defect to South Korea, Seoul says 2 weeks ago:
Generational punishments keep those people from leaving, most likely. Their family members will be the ones to suffer from their choice to defect.
But since this is a warzone, I’d try to fake my death on the battlefield or capture. Though I suppose that probably ends with the same punishment too.

The general rule is that if you have to pay to work (and get paid), it’s a scam.

Let’s do the IRS next!
- Comment on New York becomes first US city with congestion charge 3 weeks ago:
Politicians found another way to reach into people’s wallets. Another thing that is going to hurt the lower and middle classes above everyone else too.
Nice job, New York. Always looking out for
the little manyour wallet. - Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 3 weeks ago:
I mean I want one but the only reason I don’t have one is because I’m not paying $3500 for one. And even if I could get one used for under $1000, I’m still not because a majority of customers feel the same way, so this was DOA for that reason alone. No developer is developing anything fun for this en masse with no customer base.
I think a majority of people are in this boat. People flock to anything with the apple logo on it, but this was just too damn expensive.
That headset is more expensive than most MacBooks, just for reference.

- Comment on What are the current most common symptoms of Covid? I was told about two years ago that a fever is no longer even really a symptom. Yet when I look it up on the CDC website, it shows fever is a sympto 4 weeks ago:
The US is currently giving away free test kits to all Americans, shipping is also free so this will only cost you your time.
They allow 4 per household and the tests do expire, but I feel everyone should get these to have on hand just in case they believe they have symptoms.
- Comment on Is there a way to search for specific words on a site? 4 weeks ago:
That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.
This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.
- Comment on Is there a way to search for specific words on a site? 4 weeks ago:
Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.
Thanks for the suggestion!

- Comment on What method do you use to type on your phone? 5 weeks ago:
I use the swipe on iPhone but also manually text because it can be dogshit lol, ironic when typing the word dogshit. Only other keyboard I use is the one from Gyphy if I want to share a gif with someone but I haven’t used that in years.
- Comment on Two Suspects Arrested Following Hazardous Drone Operation on Long Island – Boston Police Department 1 month ago:
The Boston Police Department coordinated with Homeland Security, the Massachusetts State Police, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Logan Airport Air Traffic Control to address the situation.
I’m surprised they worked with everyone except the FAA on this one. Even a few paragraphs later they mention how this is against FAA policy ???
- Comment on Startup will brick $800 emotional support robot for kids without refunds 1 month ago:
I already experienced this with that one small robot a few years ago. It was resurrected a few years later but required a subscription.
That was the beginning of me not caring for subscription based products and being weary of products that relied on servers instead of being locally hosted.

So their processor is so powerful it somehow reaches out to another universe to use power for computation functions…? How do you even prove something like this?

It’s funny that Microsoft and similar companies will talk about how they’re environmentally conscious and then pull shit like this lol

I am so glad to have stumbled across this game on Steam and glad to hear of this new entry. Sounds like a great addition to the series!
- Comment on Microsoft built a PC that can't run local apps — Windows 365 Link starts at $349 and doesn't come with storage 2 months ago:
“Wow, this is worthless!” And expensive.
Can currently buy a $150 laptop that can actually do things offline. Fucking $349 for a piece of junk that can only do something when connected to the internet and with a paid subscription is utterly pointless besides fixing the artificial problem of new version updates, i.e. Windows 11 > Windows 12.
- Comment on Car crashes into people outside primary school in central China: state media 2 months ago:
35 people were killed and 17 injured. That is insane.
What is going on in China?? This isn’t the first attack of this kind.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 2 months ago:
It is possible but it needs people to develop the OS for each brand of TV and jailbreak the TVs to run another OS.
Most TVs are like phones in that they have a locked down system and their bootloader/BIOS/UEFI is also locked down which is what ultimately needs to be unlocked to allow another OS to be installed.
Why there isn’t?
Just not really many developers interested in creating an OS for it. Probably because of so many different brands and models of TVs that would require lots of work since each one is pretty different from another.

- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 2 months ago:
It’s really crafty and nasty. And it also allows users to go through the process without requiring admin access.
We needed to stay on Windows 10 for a few reasons at work. I had a few users tell me this or that broke and they could no longer use this function. Remoted on and found the computer was somehow updated to Windows 11. Users swore it was not their doing. I know what happened; it’s an update screen that has a decline at the very bottom corner far from the button to allow the update to proceed that most users don’t see so they are being intentionally misled by Microsoft to think they have no choice but to accept the update. And worse is that none of these users were admins. So what the fuck, Microsoft?!
It’s so infuriating and disgusting.
Thankfully we can now move to Windows 11 without issue, but that was a really frustrating time to be an admin and Microsoft deserves every bad thing that comes of users getting upset over this. Hopefully lawsuits to lose some money over it.
