That’s a sweet looking GPU
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer 1 day ago:
Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.
So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer 1 day ago:
Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.
Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 5 days ago:
It’d be nice but would hurt indies because indies thrive due to not needing a physical port, and only releasing one once they are popular and successful enough to afford it.
I guess you could include some verbiage that would target AAA studios, but they’ll find a way around it like they do everything else.
And at this point, I’m not really fond of most AAA titles anyway so this won’t do much for people like myself to care anymore. Physical releases are something I care about less since other issues have arisen over the years, specifically in the quality of the game, itself.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 days ago:
I am blown away by KDEnLive and how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up to learn it.
It’s as simple as the classic Windows Movie Maker but also just as capable as iMovie or what little I did in FinalCutPro on a Mac.
One feature I love on this is that I was editing a video on my Windows gaming PC and have the files all on the cloud. I then loaded that same project on my Linux laptop and it gave me an error that it didn’t have the media… however…it would parse a folder FOR ME and then add that media back into the project. In minutes I had the complete video timeline just as it was on my Windows machine now on my Linux laptop.

Rainbow Six Patriots.
Instead we got another MMO game…yay…….
- Comment on What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)? 1 week ago:
I don’t do food deliveries anymore but when I did, almost always did the food come in a paper bag that had a sticker over it which would let you know if someone tampered with it after the food was prepared, i.e. the driver. The drinks also came with a sticker over the top of it to cover both the lid and the insert for the straw so you’d know if someone removed it.
I’ve gotten them recently when doing curbside pickups at places like McDonald’s too.
I think streamers would know their food was tampered with. Unless someone was extremely careful, but that’s difficult when dealing with the paper bags and stickers.
- Comment on Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split? 1 week ago:
I have no idea how I missed that in the title because that’s the only thing I was wondering about lol

- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 weeks ago:
It’s ironic considering their early days in gaming. They were targeted by Universal over a BS lawsuit for using “Kong” in Donkey Kong and him being a gorilla like King Kong.
Now they’re pulling the same crap on smaller people/businesses and also working with the very company who did the lawsuit to bring their games to the movies.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 2 weeks ago:
This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.
If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
Someone corrected me the other day on here that it’s not all games that are doing that but only some will be a game key and others will be the full game. I’m assuming that all first party titles will be the game key since this is largely about piracy and not allowing people to easily dump the game from the cartridge like people did for the Switch.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 2 weeks ago:
Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t?
I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 3 weeks ago:
They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.
That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 3 weeks ago:
The benefit of these is that they actively dry your filament as it rolls into the printer. At least mine does that which has been great to reduce the time needed to prep for my prints. Mine lets you set the temperature and it will keep that as it rolls in.
I heard about the food dryers but this was my choice also because I have limited space in my smaller home. This little box is about the size of a spool and sits behind my printer and I have it automated to turn on when I turn on my printer too.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 3 weeks ago:
I use a filament dryer for filaments which has increased the quality of my prints a bit. This is sort of what mine looks like
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been really liking the art style of the Common Side Effects tv show. It’s like anime but very western in feel with just the right amount of CGI, where it’s not too much but used in the right angles.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 3 weeks ago:
When I sleep at my mom’s house, there’s a smart lamp my brother put in the spare room that has 1 USB port on it and a wireless charging pad. I opt to use the wireless charging pad at night for my phone and the USB for my watch. Makes it so I can charge two devices simultaneously without having to switch out USBs.
in a car, having wireless charging pad is nice for the convenience of taking it with you and putting it on very quickly and easily, especially if you’re actively driving and just want to do it with the least amount of distractions. Even with USB type C being reversible, you still need to make sure the cable gets in the hole and that’s dangerous to do while driving. But with a wireless pad, you don’t have to look and the magnet helps guide it on correctly for you. You still shouldn’t do this while driving, but out of the two, a vastly safer alternative. Besides that, it’s nicer to be able to just grab your phone and go when leaving the car and also easier when entering. Another addition is that a wireless charging pad takes the place of two accessories and combines them together. So you now have a mount and a charger in one instead of both being separate.
Hygienically speaking, it’s cleaner in that you don’t have to touch the charger. Best for public use like a coffee cafe. People are gross and I try my hardest not to have touch contact with stuff if I can help it. So to be able to drop my phone down without touching a cable a million other people have been touching helps with that too.
Even though I like it…I still want a port. A lot of cases don’t allow you to make direct contact to have wireless charging, so it’s not always an option. Also don’t always want to have my phone laying down, sometimes I want to use it while it’s charging, especially when typing, and that’s near impossible with 90% of charging pads unless it’s a special type of MagSafe for iPhones. Then there’s also the fact that I like it as an option in case something breaks. If the port is dirty or damaged, I still have the wireless charging option. Same in reverse if the wireless function ceases to work for some reason.
- Comment on Tencent hand Ubisoft a big wad of cash to spin out Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six as a separate business 3 weeks ago:
Welp, guess there goes any chances of a single player Rainbow Six. Corporate greed won’t want to lose all these mindless idiots willing to keep putting money in a 10 year old multiplayer game.
I hope I’m wrong. Was so excited for Patriots before they scrapped it for this abomination over a decade ago.
- Comment on Downvotes - let's discuss 1 month ago:
I like it the way it is. I don’t view or think about voting like I did before coming here. I just post as I please without worry or concern there.
Also noticed that it affects others and I don’t have an automatic feel of a comment based on how it’s been voted upon and I just view comments as is without any automatic assumptions.
- Comment on Steam hits a another all-time user record with over 40 million online 1 month ago:
What’s better is requiring games to not be tied to any launcher. There shouldn’t be a need for a game to be constantly connected to the internet and need a secondary app running in the background.
But with the way it is now, I loathe the other launchers besides Steam. Steam actually provides some value and not completely unnecessary bloatware. Steam has my friends on it and has meaningful ways for me to engage my friends inside and outside of games. Steam has dedicated forums and mod queues built right into it. Steam has a great refund policy, including games that go back on their unwritten and written promises months or years after release (think Helldivers 2).
Whereas the other launchers are just cheap knockoffs for the sole purpose of corporate branding and to escape the Valve tax (which I can understand is a bit much to charge 30% just to be on Steam) that don’t work nearly as well and haven’t for many years, with ugly redesigns being the biggest changes they’ve made since their original releases. It’s coincidental how EA and Ubisoft look exactly the same in their newest redesigns and theirs plus Epic’s all have that same annoying bug that doesn’t actually remember your username and password and will require you to verify even though you checked the box to remember this PC.
Either way, I wish I didn’t need any launcher, including Steam, to launch games I paid for. It’s comical I can have that experience by pirating the game and the company generates no money from me and I get exactly what I wanted.
- Comment on HC wishes to expand its borders 1 month ago:
Honestly I like it and like that a blocklist will be maintained instead.
It’s been quiet here for a while with some people coming in as other instances get more authoritarian, but still hasn’t felt like enough.
That, and would be nice to get a new set of eyes on stuff out there. I’ve had to block a lot of communities I like because the doom political spam circlejerks are so obnoxious and constant.
- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 month ago:
I’m sick of it even with a smartphone.
Why do I need to sign up on an app to get discounts for fast food? What happened to sending out flyers?
No, they want your data to sell it and spam you with dumb notifications. “It’s Taco o’clock! Come get a Gordita for $7 at Taco Bell!” Stfu
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Don’t worry about being embarrassed. This is your health and it is important. You don’t want to let things like this go on too long.
What are your alternatives? Just keep quiet about it and live in discomfort and let it get worse? Or spend a few moments POSSIBLY feeling embarrassed and getting the help you need? I say “possibly” because I doubt your parents will let you feel that way about something that is medically bothering you like this. Good parents will care and do what they can to help you.
Go get yourself taken care of. This is important.
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 2 months ago:
More than that, they don’t lock it down to apps coming from Steam. In a Steam Deck, you can get the app from anywhere, even pirating, if you wish, and it works with Proton.
And the Steam Deck runs games that didn’t have to come from Steam.
Valve is legitimately doing things for the customer, even if they aren’t always a customer of Valve.

I apparently used all 64GB of my RAM in a video game when using cheats and it crashed my computer lol
- Comment on Why are old ladies so popular on the internet? 2 months ago:
Yeah this is going to definitely come down to a lot of subjective opinions. I was speaking more so in generalities where you’ll likely meet more guys into older women than you will women into older guys. But that also has a lot to do with the ages we’re talking about too because in high school to young adult years, many women definitely prefer older guys, but as women get older, that changes for some women. Whereas most guys seem to be drawn to older women throughout their lives through and through, until you get to a certain age, around midlife crisis age, where more guys do want younger women.
It also changes depending on cultures too, as I’m speaking for my area which can be drastically different than somewhere else in the world.
- Comment on Why are old ladies so popular on the internet? 2 months ago:
A few things:
-
experience. There’s a stereotype that older women are more experienced when it comes to sex and know their way around better than a younger woman would in pleasing a man. I think why that doesn’t go the other way is that men stereotypically get more lazy as they get older, finding ways to do less to get what they want or other ways (financial; sugar daddy) and they become less attractive whereas older women can be just as attractive, if not more, as they age or at least know how to maintain their beauty as they age.
-
a bit of taboo. A lot of guys with “mom’s friends”/teacher fantasies. It’s hot to think about one of your mom’s hot friends hitting on you to some guys. Then there’s the taboo of engaging in sexual activities with someone much older than you like your teacher in a setting that isn’t socially acceptable. We like what we can’t or shouldn’t have, often times. Speaking as a guy and having male friends, we’ve talked a bit about our fantasies like this and most of us have these fantasies.

I came from lemm.ee too but I never thought they were bad. That sucks to hear!
I’ve seen you all over when I browse Lemmy. Glad to have you over here! It gets lonely in the HC communities and would be nice to see more engagement here.
Alice does a great job keeping things interesting 😂
