- Comment on 390TB video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing RAM, SSD, and hard drive prices — AI-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archives 9 hours ago:
They were the best for grabbing any classic games. Fuck this AI craze and what is doing to hardware/hosting costs.
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 1 week ago:
A few years back when Sony purchased Bungie, they stated they wanted to focus more on live service games. I think they wanted to release 10 live service games over 10 years. That means they need a variety of their studios working on them, even if it isn’t their specialization. This is definitely a Sony decision and a stupid one at that.
- Comment on I wish I could do executive orders 🤔 1 week ago:
Nobody would want them though. Maybe we could move them all to Texas and let them be independent again.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing a built-in network speed test to Windows 11 1 week ago:
Most people in slower speeds areas don’t exactly have a choice in provider. If you only have one ISP in your area, the speed you get is just what they offer.
- Comment on Reddit, Meta, and Google Voluntarily Gave DHS Info of Anti-ICE Users, Report Says 1 week ago:
I feel Discord is just as widely known as Reddit. People are also more likely to send messages on discord that they may have considered private (even of they shouldn’t have)
- Comment on Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI | Fortune 1 week ago:
Maybe he is just trying to keep his job for another 18 months to get a huge payday.
AI has failed to effectively replace a single profession so far, and I do not see it fully replacing it in that timeframe.
- Comment on Reddit, Meta, and Google Voluntarily Gave DHS Info of Anti-ICE Users, Report Says 1 week ago:
Ya, I’m not sure why they are not included in the title when they are talked about in the article too. These massive tech companies cannot be trusted with your data to any degree.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 2 weeks ago:
I guess I’m going to be a teenager again! If only it meant I could not go to work and spend 8 hours a day playing games.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 2 weeks ago:
But more wasteful
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 4 weeks ago:
Updating all of my games is a huge boost. I also enjoy the sync feature as I may play the same game on my desktop, HTPC, and Steam Deck. I like GOG allowing installing without their launcher, but I still just install games through Heroic Games Launcher for the same reasons as above.
- Comment on [Episode] 【OSHI NO KO】Season 3 • [Oshi no Ko] 3rd Season - Episode 1 discussion 1 month ago:
MEM really keeps the group alive. I haven’t been the largest fan of hers in the past, but this episode made me appreciate her more. Ruby is really the largest issue in the group as she could be contributing a lot more when she doesn’t have nearly as much on her plate. She was also the one to push for this idol group in the first place.
- Comment on Musk says Tesla is moving Full Self-Driving to a monthly subscription 1 month ago:
Kind of makes sense. If I had a Tesla, I might consider grabbing it for a month if I were going on a road trip to reduce the driving load.
It also lets people test it every once in a while to see if it actually works. Based on a ride I had in one a few months ago, it still has quite a bit to go.
I would be most concerned about them increasing prices over time. $100/month isn’t too bad, but I’m sure it will increase to well over double that over the next few years.
- Comment on Techie banned from client site for outage he didn’t cause 1 month ago:
Even if you are constantly using the device, you can still swap batteries when one dies.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Agreed. I changed my password then deleted my credentials in my password manager.
- Comment on How to watch Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 [Starts this Sunday!] 1 month ago:
I haven’t watched in a few years. Have they toned down the amount of donation reading? Especially during AGDQ since they do a cancer chairty with plenty of cancer stories.
It felt like they cared more about reading them instead of letting the speedrunner/couch explain what is going on with the game and any tricks they are doing.
- Comment on ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners 1 month ago:
There is also the Unhook extension if you want to fine tune what components are visible on YouTube.
- Comment on Winter 2026 Anime Schedule 1 month ago:
Really looking forward to Frieren S2 and Oshi No Ko S3 this season.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 months ago:
Choice is both one of Linux’s greatest strengths and weaknesses. There are so many distros that offer something great an unique, but that also leads to choice paralysis as well as fragmentation. I think Bazzite has been great for the Linux gaming space because it does offer a single user experience that reduces the knowledge barrier for those just getting into Linux.
- Comment on Days after killing the brand, Crucial shows up at Delhi Comic-Con — As Micron pivots to AI, Crucial's presence likely booked out months in advance to event 2 months ago:
Look at these products you will never be able to buy!
- Comment on "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht Rising-" 2nd PV 2 months ago:
Time for a rewatch.
- Comment on HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue 2 months ago:
The bubble cannot burst fast enough. I’m tired of these higher hardware costs because of a feature that nobody wants.
- Comment on Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith 2 months ago:
Not sure why others are defending the defendant here. He was just a cyber squatter who had no ties to the name Lambo until after he bought the domain. His only goal was to resell it to Lamborghini for a profit.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 2 months ago:
Maybe if they focused on the root of the problems with Social Media instead of banning it from children, they could make the world a better place for everyone.
Endless scrolling and their recommendation algorithms keep people on their platforms for far longer than otherwise intended. They could start with forcing these companies to have chronological posts with a fixed number of posts per page to give users a natural break point for when to stop.
- Comment on After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series 2 months ago:
CS players aren’t having to pay for a new game every year either.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 50] 2 months ago:
I recently watched My Dress-Up Darling and it quickly became one of my favorite anime’s. Any recommendations for similar shows? I watched Horimiya but it didn’t hold up as well as MDUD.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 2 months ago:
Far too nice. No need for the blade to be so sharp and free of rust.
- Comment on Make Amazon Pay 2 months ago:
That movement is for not buying anything from those companies for the next few days. It should be to not buy anything from them this holiday season or indefinitely. Support local businesses that keep money in your own community.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Standardized design, sure. I would argue you could get something more powerful at a comparable size for not too much more. My HTPC is about the size of a shoe box yet has a R7 7700X and a RX 6900 XT.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
The biggest advantages it has over other PCs is CEC and Wake on USB(controller) enabled out of the box. Those are the two features I miss the most on my HTPC.

You still have he choice to not use the software that has those back doors. There are plenty of open source alternatives that prevent spying.
