if a game company doesnt support me, then i dont support the game company.
fomo is hard to get over at first, but after missing out and realizing its nbd you will realize that companies attempting to enforce behavior you disagree with will no longer be able to hold you hostage.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 1 week ago:
The glasses let users listen to music, take photos or videos, and ask Meta AI questions…
so… there is no benefit to wearing them.
i would love a new technology that does something groundbreaking (though only if it has an open source equivalent; im not buying anything from facebook), but this doesnt seem like it.

- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 1 week ago:
through k-12 i wanted to be a pilot because my grandfather flew a plane as a hobby.
in college, i bounced between pilot, music composition, auto mechanics, musical theatre.
dropped out of college and did hairnet & nametag jobs for a while and asked my uncle to get me a gig as an associate PA for movies (but he wouldnt even return my call).
a friend of mine worked for a video game company and said he’d hire me to be on the phones because i just needed work, so i decided to do that for a year or two…
i worked at that company for 14 years moving from customer service to QA to software engineering. now working as a software engineer for a boring non-game company.
its not necessarily what i want to do, but it pays the bills and i dont mind being bored with it for another 23ish years until i retire.

- Comment on goodbye plex 5 weeks ago:
not OP, but this has reared its ugly face once or twice with my friends.
i have been running into another issue, though it may be a firefox issue: playing some filetypes fail to play on web browser but work fine on jellyfin app (i believe my settings are correct for hardware decode on server where it can)
i still have to put some time into figuring it out tho (havent really done my research yet)
- Comment on How to play games from GOG and Epic Games on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck 5 weeks ago:
lutris definitely takes the cake when it comes to customizability, but i consider it a bit hard on the UX… especially for new users.
i always recommend Heroic first, and if there are problems then one can use lutris (or bottles in really bad situations) as a backup.
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
new vegas, there was a mobile one, and i think there was an only-online one that i missed.
just never got around to playing those. my backlog is mighty, and FO4 was a freebie i picked up within the last year or two.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
i played a bit of fallout 4, but i dont really understand the hype that was around it. its a loading screen simulator with an awful city repair element slapped on top.
not a huge fan :/
it sucks… i really enjoyed all of the previous fallouts i played (FO1, FO2, FO:BoS, FO3) and expected something better.

as someone who just got told to not post there ever again (i was not being mean, i was adding to community discussion), describing this community as “inclusive” is a bit if a misnomer.
- Comment on Using Signal groups for activism 1 month ago:
use signal to safely organize, but remember to faraday cage your phone before you leave. no proof that you were there.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
honestly, my rust comment was mostly a joke; rust is great for it, but its readability is really bad. i’m not a huge fan of writing/reading it, just using it.

- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
as an engineer, a lot of languages (even proprietary ones) have a built-in constant pi variable because it is so ubiquitous - its easier and more readable to use pi than 3…
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 month ago:
usually a band plays for ~30-45m - enjoying music time - and ~15m-1h (depending on the setup for that night) of downtime for chatting.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 month ago:
as one with limited mobility, i have made friends at the local, extremely small, music venue. tickets at the door are $20, beer is cheap, and everyone is super friendly.
because its a small place, the owner lets me take a chair with me when i am going to one of the stages that has no seating (i use a cane; its hard to stand for long periods). i usually sit next to the merch tables, and the friends of the bands usually strike up conversation.
this is a suuuuuper small place. it has 2-3 stages (depending on the night), but they are really close together, so only one band at a time can play (two stages are outside because the building is so small). even if its not music, go to really small local places that get decent crowds - they are a lot more personable.

after starting to print d&d miniatures, i switched from fff to resin printing; i have not looked back. the increase in fidelity between fff and resin is unfathomable.
- Comment on Is there a searchable table view for serverpartdeals by $/TB 1 month ago:
i havent been able to find one. i have specific storage amounts in mind, so i search for my storage amount then sort by cheapest.
- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 1 month ago:
at 40, i do go out less than in my twenties but we still go out. a lot of our younger friends dont know how to party and always go home super early :/
