That was also like half the YouTube comments lol. I noticed it too.

This video dives into this topic particularly well. It’s still best to ask their individual preference, but this gave me some perspective I didn’t have before: youtu.be/kh88fVP2FWQ
- Comment on Horizon Chase Turbo is getting delisted after the Epic Games layoffs 1 week ago:
That’s too bad. I’ve not played the sequel, but this is one of the only games I played on mobile first and later on desktop. It’s honestly a great way to kill a couple hours.
- Comment on I found Painkiller (2011) in my library and cant even remeber when or why I got this 1 week ago:
Oddly, I had a similar experience with the game. It just sort of ended up in the collection of “backed up” games in my library. Can’t remember who recommended it. Maybe it’s cursed? If it is a cursed game, they at least made it fun. It’s a pretty fast-paced shooter with lots of unique enemies and pretty backdrops.
- Comment on Spider-Man getting a bunch of good looking love interests while the writers simultaneously make his life shit: 1 week ago:
Not just good-looking. MJ is regularly portrayed as a competent journalist who’s willing to take risks to get her story. And Gwen Stacy is a biochemist. Peter has standards!
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 weeks ago:
I remember when there was an Unreal Tournament beta in development that they canned the moment ForkKnife popped off. I’m still sour they stole what might have been a great modern follow-up to my beloved UT2004 (UT3 doesn’t count 😠)
- Comment on The US bans all new foreign-made network routers 2 weeks ago:
For anyone looking into this, I recommend picking up a “network appliance” PC. They’re low-spec, often fanless, and come with 4 Ethernet ports. You can often get them for roughly the same price as a router. You will need to provide your own WiFi AP with this method.

Sounds like a great way to increase their adoption of a competitor’s product

For the thrill of the fight, of course.
- Comment on Luck is not a Disaster Recovery Plan 2 weeks ago:
Hindsight is 20:20, but for anyone else reading this, my method for server transfers like this is to have a physical offline backup from the start of the transfer process. (obviously would need more disks if you have a big array, but at this scale you should have enough experience to handle this)
Once I have the physical backup, I set it aside, unplugged, until the entire process is done and I confirm it all went well. Then I feel safe enough to use that drive angain after the first week or so goes smoothly.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 weeks ago:
fhwa.dot.gov/…/crosswalk_marking_selection_guide.…, Page 22. It’s not one of the official crosswalk selection options.

The old design has the rainbow across the crosswalk, which actually does go against traffic safety standards, so the reason for it gaining the attention to get removed may not have been valid, but the actual removal reason was. And to show faith, they just redesigned it to meet standards. Here’s the original design:

I’m really struggling to figure out what word they felt was so bad they needed to censor it for such an innocuous meme.
- Comment on Hermetically sealed, for your health! 2 weeks ago:
I mean they technically still can pour it down the drain. They just shouldn’t.

This is actually one I didn’t know about. A small gesture, but a pleasant one. Of course the only story that made the front page was the one that sparked outrage when it was originally removed.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
They’re being very careful about cutting almost immediately after the DLSS is turned on. It all looks like printed media, not actual video. There’s something very off about the way the details just sort of track along the normals of the surface. Maybe something I’d enable as a novelty in a few rare cases, but certainly not something I’d use to replace any existing solutions.
- Comment on Confidence is important 3 weeks ago:
From experience, learning to kickbox actually did massively improved my confidence. I can genuinely recommend it.
- Comment on [question] help me pick a game 3 weeks ago:
I’ve played through a few different ways. I’ve only found one ending that sank in and to me personally it feels like the true ending
Tap for spoiler
Where you take the fully selfish route and have to get your cybernetics fully removed and go to a life of being a civilian
- Comment on That's the feeling. 3 weeks ago:
I finally broke off my dependency from Windows last year. Still have the Mac for music, but not having to deal with a single Windows update or bug for six months has been such an improvement.
I’ve always said that with Linux, it’s a buggy, under-development experience, but the mistakes are honest. When one of the biggest companies in the world can’t stop from putting out one broken update after another, all for the sake of short-term profit, I had to just call it quits completely.
- Comment on Stardock announce an expansion into indie game publishing 4 weeks ago:
Uhhh. Okay. That’s not one on any of my bingo cards. Haven’t heard their name since I was using Windows 7 and wanted Rocket Dock. Hopefully it quirks out for them. I’m amazed their business model is still running all these years later.
- Comment on They Said Self-Hosting Was Hard! 4 weeks ago:
This isn’t aimed at the person making the video because there’s about 1000 videos like it, but these videos I find are rarely a help. They walk you through enough to follow the instructions found on their official documentation and then the presenter is like, “and there you have it!”
There’s always so many things glossed over and no matter who you are 12 minutes will never be enough to introduce Docker. And yet you will find video after video of people doing 10-minute Docker tutorials.
There are just so many things ignored like how to setup reverse proxies, file locations/permissions, backups, and more that all get obfuscated by Docker and people never mention in these videos. Why do people keep making this style of introduction?
Anyone can follow the first three steps of a GitHub Readme. It’s the 10 steps after that a beginner would want to know about and that’s right where all these videos end.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been running an M1 for years now. So tired of the argument that Mac is underpowered. No, it’s not a video editing/compiling/gaming powerhouse, but it more than makes up for it with an 8+ hour battery life going on 5 years now.
It still handles everything I throw at it just fine. If I need to bust out the compute power, Mac just isn’t the right rig for it. But that doesn’t make them useless.

An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 5 weeks ago:
They couldn’t afford enough electricity to run it in-house so now they just run a mandated botnet to make you pay for it instead. If this isn’t a page out of a George Orwell novel, it should have been.

- Comment on I am an amateur propagandist. A hobbyist. Enthusiast, if you will. 5 weeks ago:
I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.
