- Comment on Commodore acquired for a ‘low seven figure’ price — new (acting) CEO comes from the retro community 6 hours ago:
He did post this video a couple of days ago, but I had a hard time getting past the intro because I was cringing. Part 1 was great though.
- Comment on if I fits... 1 week ago:
Anice box, with a hot rock.
- Comment on Himmel can fix her 1 week ago:
“… You look like a good Joe.”
- Comment on After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits 1 week ago:
It is bullshit indeed. Especially now with AI, seemingly it would be relatively easier to throw in some adversarial llm in a game to keep a game engaging nowadays.
And imagine if other games started patenting systems like that: “Fatrolling is a unique movement system only found in FromSoftware games”. Soon there wouldn’t be anyone making games except for those with patents. - Comment on After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits 1 week ago:
Btw. the patented Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor that everyone loved despite only having been used in that one game, won’t expire until 2036, and yeah, Warner Bros. gets to keep it.
- Comment on CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function 1 week ago:
This opens the door to so many possibilities. I’m just a dumb-dumb, but skimming through this: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7508700/ it seems that organ xenotransplantation might become a reality in the not too distant future.
- Comment on Risk of nuclear war grows amid new arms race 2 weeks ago:
Hmm… Maybe I should start storing my bottle caps in a safe.
- Comment on Death toll in S.Africa floods rises to 78 2 weeks ago:
78 dead and that number seems likely to rise. Out of a population of 63 million it could be a lot worse, but the story about a school van just swept away is still heartbreaking to hear about.
- Comment on Israel’s Iran threat is familiar, but it is unlikely to attack without US backing 2 weeks ago:
They did attack Iran, and the headlines I’ve read says it was without US support. But it’s a developing story.
- Comment on Commodore shocks retro TechTuber with option to buy 'the whole company' 3 weeks ago:
You guys, I think Perifractic was in a Star Wars movie haha.
Looking forward to hearing more as this progresses.
I would’ve looked up whether Commodore Corp. had changed hands via KVK: www.kvk.nl/bestellen/#/83289348000049466550 but unfortunately it’s paywalled. - Comment on YouTube is expanding its ad-blocking powers — closes loopholes that allowed some users to bypass restrictions 3 weeks ago:
Eh, it only lasted for a few hours, then I updated the ublock origin filters and things were back to normal. In the meanwhile I just streamed youtube videos via a media player that had builtin yt-dlp (smplayer) support.
It’ll always be a game of cat and mouse. - Comment on Whale poop 🐋 💩 3 weeks ago:
It’s believed half of all produced oxygen is done by sea and whale poop is incredibly important for providing nutrients to the surface to help this process.
- Comment on OBS Studio 31.1.0 Beta 1 brings Multitrack Video to Linux 4 weeks ago:
I guess that’s pretty cool. What would be even cooler was client side control of the multitrack audio sources. Would be amazing if each viewer could control the volume of each audio source broadcast from the OBS streamer. Imagine being able to control the volume of the game shown or turn up the volume of the streamer, or turn down the volume of the music etc.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 4 weeks ago:
Ok, so WinAero points out React Native is cross-platform, but surely that shouldn’t matter for the Windows start menu, right? Unless it’s some ARM compatibility thing, making it easier to port or something.
- Comment on Peak Fan Sub 4 weeks ago:
We also used to watch anime on smaller resolution CRT’s, so it was useful to have subtitles that stood out for that reason.
- Comment on Elfs 5 weeks ago:
It’s well known that elves aren’t known for having babies all the time and the fact that they have a long lifespan and age very slowly, isn’t it… Well when I think about it like that, if an elf takes an incredibly long time to mature out of nursing stage meaning they need milk for longer than human babies, maybe big booba makes sense, but for most of the rest of the time, flat makes sense.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 5 weeks ago:
It’s so sad we’re burning coal and oil to generate heat and electricity for dumb shit like this.
- Comment on Nexus Mods cross-platform app v0.11.1 brings full Cyberpunk 2077 support for Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck 5 weeks ago:
The new Nexus Mods App runs quite nice on linux. I’ve only tested it with Bannerlord as that’s the only game I own out of the 4 ones being tested currently and unfortunately it doesn’t launch directly from the app, but it does correctly deploy the mods, so after one has added the mods, one can launch the game from a preferred launcher like steam or heroic games launcher and it works.
- Comment on Time Stop 5 weeks ago:
It confused me that this was a left-to-right read.
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t much like W1 and W2. Especially W2 feels like it’s on rails. The story is pretty good though.
- Comment on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition is out now, needs a workaround on Linux 5 weeks ago:
All 3 titles are getting review bombed on steam currently, apparently it’s a low-res blurry mess.
- Comment on Based 1 month ago:
Representation matters.
- Comment on ‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year 1 month ago:
He added: “Retailers don’t tend to involve the police when they’re dealing with pensioners. Stores tend to want to handle it on their own.
“It’s not good publicity for a supermarket if it got out that a pensioner had been handed over to the police for shoplifting.”
Sounds like the numbers could be higher then, if it’s not getting reported.

But at least UK is free of the EU bureaucracy
- Comment on How my ultimate SimCity 2000 setup helped get Apple sued [15:26] | This Does Not Compute 1 month ago:
This video was recommended to me many hours ago, and I wanted to see some SimCity2000, but instead it’s a video primarily about Apple hardware problems. I’m sure this is interesting to Apple cultists, but I was thoroughly disappointed.
- Comment on Showing your ID to get online might become a reality 1 month ago:
To be fair, it’s a pretty rage-inducing proposal.
- Comment on Every new car park may have to be covered with solar panels [UK] | Solar canopies would be compulsory under proposals estimated to save £28,000 on electricity bills at an 80-space car park 1 month ago:
Hahaha, “save on electricity bills”, sure that’s totally what’ll happen.
- Comment on Shinji need a little bit of motivation 1 month ago:
Especially that last hand… Pretty sure that’s his dad’s, right? The glove.
- Comment on Poisonous Frogs with Ants in their Pants 1 month ago:
I swear I had just gotten the bugsnax song out of my head. Back to square one.
Kinda bug and kinda snack Try to catch 'em in your trap Feed somebody and you’ll see We are whatever we eat
- Comment on Turkish opposition leader is attacked in Istanbul, raising fears over politicians' safety 1 month ago:
I couldn’t get your archive link to work, so I initiated a snapshot myself: archive.md/UJ2Pi
- Comment on Modern problem need modern soltuion 1 month ago:
To no ones surprise the switch happened in April 2020, I think we all know what was happening around that time.
