Omg! You can stun them!?!?
I was so frustrated with them on a recent play through.

What a great game! That’s a fun temple too.
- Comment on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says AI will probably mean fewer jobs after 27,000 people have already been cut from its workforce 2 days ago:
I have to admit, that my small business has benefitted from ai.
It’s a small 1.5 person business. So there is really no budget to hire artists or programmers.
I’ve been able to switch away from using generic stock photos, I’ve even had it help me selfhost some thing to get further away from Microsoft.
So now, my presentation to clients looks much more professional.
I’m not saying everyone can use it the same ways, I have a background in computer security, so I can secure my services reasonably well.
- 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 3 days ago:
It’s great! But there are some frustrating parts in the game like escort missions. Or janky psychics where a wall don’t blow up because, well I don’t know. It just didn’t one time.

Each?

I’ve never heard that term before.
- Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? 4 days ago:
Totk ran fine for me on the switch. I guess some parts had lag, but I can’t remember having any serious performance issues.
- Comment on Facts and minds 5 days ago:
That’s really it!
If it is a combative exchange neither side will concede.
It’s better to pretend to be ignorant or on their side and then ask questions that lead them to the truth you want them to see.
- Comment on $440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage Scanner 1 week ago:
One of the problems with removing people from the equation is that there is no way to escalate an issue. I’m guessing it’s by design.
An example of this is the food delivery app in the country where I live. One time a delivery person said the restaurant was closed. The app said it was open but it was a holiday. Neither of us could cancel the order or contact a person to allow the cancelation.
Another instance, a delivery rider had a problem with their bike and asked me to cancel the order, when I told her I could not, she told me to call the restaurant to cancel it.
I don’t think she really had a problem with her bike, but I couldn’t chat with anyone who worked at the app to resolve the issue. She eventually delivered it. I think she just didn’t want to wait for the food to be ready since it wasn’t fast food. I ended up ordering from a different place, and ended up with 2 dinners.

Android is Linux… sure.
But it’s not what anyone means when they say they want a Linux phone.
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 1 week ago:
Not really.

Do you by chance know if WeChat and Facebook messenger work on it?
Those apps are critical for my work.
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 1 week ago:
That’s pretty cool, I’m working now, but I’m checking out its Android app compatibility.
If it can run my work stuff, I’ll be so happy.

That’s awesome!
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 1 week ago:
Linux has become good enough to replace desktop operating systems.
Now, we are back at square one. I’ll be the first to inaccurately declare, “This will be the year of the Linux phone.”
- Comment on Palworld × Terraria | Tides of Terraria Major Update Gameplay Trailer | Palnews | Pocketpair 1 week ago:
I love how terraria does crossovers with so many different indie games. Will they do Stardew crossover at some point? that could be interesting.
- Comment on The Making of Shadows of the Empire 1 week ago:
I loved this game as a kid. Does it still hold up?
- Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure that can be turned off in security stings.
If not, you can hold down control or command when launching the so the first time to have the option to run the software anyway.
- Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps 2 weeks ago:
Their reasons for not opening the App Store aren’t even good logical reasons like it would make the platform unsafe but then they claim the Mac is a safe platform. That’s what makes it so insulting.
I’d be less frustrated with them if they were just honest and said it’s about the money.
- Comment on Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux 3 weeks ago:
I always wondered how any head of state could feel like they were not being spied on if they were using windows.
Can governments really ensure that windows has been secured that well or is there always a possibility that Microsoft is spying for the United States?
- Comment on Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers 3 weeks ago:
Sure, I just don’t think it’s really that much different than what we have now. I guess I’m just indifferent to it and don’t think it’s that big of a change.
- Comment on Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers 3 weeks ago:
I saw some things in the videos, but I guess I don’t really care about design too much. So maybe that’s why I don’t care. I’ll have to ask my wife what she thinks.
- Comment on Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers 3 weeks ago:
I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.
I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem - Reveal Trailer 4 weeks ago:
I’d add 4 into that list. I really hated that game. I never played 5 though. Maybe I should give it a go.

I just tried one match of it and one of the differences was not different in either picture.

I just started Shin Megami Tensi 4 on the 3ds. It’s my first time playing a game in this series and it seems cool. Maybe after I get through that.

This has been in my backlog for 10 years?!?
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 4 weeks ago:
I can’t find it now and I do not think it really applies here. But someone stated that being high IQ could lead to academic problems as the high IQ learner would understand or see things that the professor could not causing the professor to mark it as incorrect.
I guess this is the idiocracy version of it.
- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 4 weeks ago:
Kinda lame, but at the same time I get it.
So, I guess I’m sticking with OneDrive and Microsoft email.
- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 4 weeks ago:
That is such a crazy amount of money on license fees, especially when you consider that there are mostly free alternatives. I am always choosing foss options as I build my small business.
Right now, I am using onedrive, and Microsoft for my business email. Which I think comes out to like $5 a month.
My understanding is that for reliable email, you need to host with microsoft or google otherwise you are more likely to get sorted into junk mail. If that is incorrect, please let me know.
