- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 days ago:
I miss the days of windows xp, that was middle school to early high school for me. It was around that time when I switched to mac.
Still have random memories of random windows stuff.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 days ago:
To be fair, Apple hardware typically lasts for a long time. My wife has a 5 year old m1 air and we have no plans to replace it anytime soon.
We have been out the past few hours working and she went from like 50% to maybe 30-40% in that time.
- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
Sorry I meant to say wasn’t marketed as a game in the series.
- Comment on Is there any place on the internet where I can find this game's instruction booklet/game manual? 4 days ago:
I love this! Internet bringing the world together.
- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
I guess you’re right cause it was more of a spinoff not really a sequel.
It’s more of an action horror vibe instead of a survival horror vibe.
- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
I think that game suffers as it is not as good as the first one. But it was not a bad game, I guess. I think I just had high expectations. Maybe it would have been better if it was marketed as a sequel to PE1
- Comment on Dusting off the old PS2 4 days ago:
I loved PE1, but had trouble getting into PE2.
For those who may not know, the game was made to be a sequel to a book with the same name.
My understanding is that the book was wildly famous in Japan, but don’t make a big international splash.
I once found a used English copy on Amazon for $200.
So, just pickup the ebook. I started to read it, but got busy with my wedding and never finished it. I need to give it another go.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 1 week ago:
I’m in a country where stuff in the car is not regulated as much as the US.
One of my ride share drivers had basically a 13” android tablet instead of the stock radio in the car 😂
It was all hooked up to the car to act as a legit part of the car.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 1 week ago:
I won’t buy a car without CarPlay.
My current car has it and I love it. So I imagine Android users feel the same way.
If there is truly no option, then my phone is getting the window/airvent mount option.
I’ll never subscribe to their bs.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 1 week ago:
I remember that rumor for windows 11, I was really hopeful.
I don’t think they really make money in windows itself.
Why don’t they just come to linux and sell their server stuff there to keep people in that ecosystem?
- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 1 week ago:
So I guess it’s a Mozilla problem and not Apple
- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 1 week ago:
No, and it’s annoying because Safari’s extensions I’ll let you install ad blockers, but they won’t work on Firefox even though it’s still Safari
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 weeks ago:
I decided to pull the trigger on bg3 maybe today or next week.
Depends on if I have time to play today.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah! I’m wanting that game.
I have about $15 in steam credit, so I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger even though I have other games I’m actively playing.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 2 weeks ago:
OMG. These plans are getting on my nerves.
When a parent gives a kid their device and sets the child’s birthday, then enable these. If the birthday is over 18, the let them do what they want.
Let parents parent the kid and get the government out of my life.
- Comment on Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith 3 weeks ago:
How is a cyber squatter worse than companies who squat on other things like money or diamonds.
The man bought the domain and if lambo wants it, they can buy it from him.
How long until other companies start trying to get any domain name that is part of their name now?
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t played them myself, but I think they look cool.
If someone wants to be a purist, let them get an original system and a crt. Otherwise, they can just shut up about.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 3 weeks ago:
US 2 or JP 2?
US 2 is so good, but the late game seeed to have a difficulty spike so I never finished it.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 3 weeks ago:
I’d love to see games do this because they are clearly not being optimized. Can’t wait to see that not happen.
Good thing, I’m happy with retro games and the occasional indie.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 3 weeks ago:
I left windows just 2 months ago to use a MacBook for work.
In both computers I had 16gb of ram.
Windows usage was significantly higher in regard to ram usage.
I use today Linux is way more efficient, but after seeing similar efficiency with Mac, I’m changing my language to say Windows is extremely inefficient.

Same, I decided to just do it and as soon as I finished it I already wanted to play it again.

About eight years ago, I moved out of the US to a Third World country but each day it feels less and less like a Third World country.

- Comment on Advice on which PS3 model to get? 4 weeks ago:
I live in a third would country and getting games here could be difficult if not impossible for some titles.
So, I may need to resort to backups. It sounds like ps3hen would be suitable for me.
I don’t plan to play any ps2 games, I have a ps2 already.

- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 4 weeks ago:
Haha, that never occurred to me. That’s a cool one.
I wanted to make it shoot plasma grenades, but at first it just blew up in my face, then it lobbed plasma grenades in front of me.
Eventually I changed the impact of the bullet on each object in the game so it would explode like a plasma grenade instead of giving off the impact animation.
Took forever.
I wonder if I can still install that old version anywhere and mess with the hex codes.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 4 weeks ago:
In the original halo on PC I modded the game so the rifle was shoot out banshees instead of bullets. I also made the warthog fly. I guess now that I’m typing this is was not really cheating as it was a 1v1 match and we got to screw around with the mods is did.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I do not really understand what you want to do. But I think you want to use an existing AI model and create your own personality from it.
Is that correct?
If so, you want to download ollama and run it. Then you will also download and run sillytavern.
In Sillytavern, you can create different characters and give them different personalities.
This does require some technical knowledge, but it does not require you to code anything. You will also need a GPU with ha decent amount of ram for any complexity.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 5 weeks ago:
Some billionaires are saying shorter work weeks be used of AI, some are saying longer.
If this just a way for us to be “grateful” for things to remain the same?

Thanks! It’s been so long since I’ve used plex. I didn’t know they offered their own proxy service now.
