Thanks for giving a simple summary so I didn’t have to click and watch.

Godamnit Ziff. Thanks for that, had no idea. Fucking tired of useless c-suite executives.

They also straight up publish indies themselves, too!

- Comment on Is your sleep schedule actually messed up, or are you just aligned with a different timezone? 2 days ago:
No need to rephrase, I understood perfectly. I am agreeing with you 100%, just adding my own reasons for why I hate it when people call you lazy for staying up late, and an example of how often time staying up late and sleeping in is actually the exact opposite of laziness.
- Comment on Hosted a Temp SMS service written in Python 2 days ago:
More confusion. How often do you change your username? Few minutes ago it was “whoareu”, now its “kionite231”
Where’s the code or info on pieces of the puzzla that you made and are trying to showcase here?
- Comment on Hosted a Temp SMS service written in Python 2 days ago:
I’m a little confused:
- Are you GreyTechno? Is the repo you put in the post for the page at the post link? The page looks nothing like the GIF in the README, and it doesn’t talk about the webpage at all in the repo.
- Where does the phone number come from?
- What’s the use case, exactly?

I’ve always hated this train of thought.
I have been working in IT my entire life, from 24/7 data center operations to managing world-wide systems. There were times where I had no sleep, because as soon as the Americans left the office on the west coast, China and Taiwan were waking up and starting their day.
- Comment on USDA Reverses Course, Commits to Restore Purged Climate Webpages in Response to Farmers’ Lawsuit 3 days ago:
Kinda confirms to me that the current admin’s strategy is to destroy as much as possible and only address the squeaky wheels on a case-by-case basis.
The small handful of things that we fight back against and win won’t outweigh the sheer amount of damage they do to things we have less awareness of. A single win, no matter how large or trivial, will sate the general public for a time and give them the calmness the admin needs to keep moving forward.
Pretty sure this is a military strategy and probably has a name. Inundate your enemy with so many events they spread themselves too thin to address everything coming at them.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 4 days ago:
My comment isn’t just about Rockstar, although they did also do some milking with GTA3 as well. Recently there was TES IV, plus all the Skyrim editions, from Bethesda. Now Gears of War is getting a remaster. In recent years, remakes and remasters from AAAs seem to have increased. Last of Us is another example.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 4 days ago:
The original will probably run better, too. I bet this is another TES IV situation where they stitched UE5 on top of the original game engine. The release pattern of being completely quiet, then random leak, then it drops is eerily similar.

I guess AAA studios are hollywood now. Unable to create something new, put a new coat of paint on something from the attic. Milk the audience with nostalgia.
- Comment on There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seeds 4 days ago:
What?! Dangit, I wish mine had that. Never heard of such a thing. We do at least have a county public garden, but I think it’s taboo to take cuttings. Only allowed to plant new stuff.
- Comment on Wikipedia sources their information better than most journalists do in their articles. 1 week ago:
One of the biggest problems with the site is that it doesn’t archive the linked material. So you can have a bunch of dead links to older historical entries, which undermines the value over long terms.
You know, that’s an excellent point. I am surprised that, in 2025, there isn’t an automatic Internet Archive service in place that does that for any link added to a Wiki entry.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
What a solid game and experience. I’ve played through it so many times, and I can’t ever get over Bernard’s voice actor being Les Nessman from WKRP in Cincinnatti
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
Serious headfuck of a puzzle game.
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 week ago:
I randomly think about something I want, and then usually find it here. Used to be a GitHub repo, but it got so popular and useful they got a nice site with search and all, now.
I don’t have as much running anymore outside media/games, but I do still run Stirling PDF as an Acrobat Pro alternative.
- Comment on xAI Dev Leaks API Key for Private SpaceX, Tesla LLMs – Krebs on Security 2 weeks ago:
Everybody expects Google to become Skynet. I guess SpaceX are going to be the ones to create HAL9000.
If your name is Dave Bowman or Frank Poole, don’t become an astronaut.
- Comment on Why don't Oblivion and Morrowind turn the character model when you run in different directions? 2 weeks ago:
Some games do, some games don’t. It’s a design choice.
Also, Oblivion was released originally in 2007, and Morrowing in 2002. The consoles, game logic, and gfx were a fraction of what modern games can do, a lot of games back then didn’t have the fancy animations for all directions. Either because no one bothered to put in the time to do it, or there were other backend/engine limitations at the time.

To add to that, and to make it easier for some, you can use Kiwix!
- Comment on Starbucks' new drive-thru in Texas is the coffee giant's first 3D printed store in the US 2 weeks ago:
Place your bets, when will Starbucks / A Company that uses this method start implementing AI to design the buildings and run the printers? The last part of the article they talk about how this was more expensive than normal, but it “addressed a labor shortage.” Motherfuckers will literally spend twice as much just to not pay a human a living wage.

Exactly, you get what I’m trying to say.
- Comment on The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared. 2 weeks ago:
I worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO’s name around like it was a pass to commit murder.
Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting “ding dong! the witch is dead!” It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.
That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.

Yea, I feel you. Age limits everywhere, especially the upper limit, are a good idea.

I will say, I’m running in Desktop mode and using keyboard+mouse. Presumably controller works, but I haven’t actually tried in handheld mode.

GOG version runs great for me. I just installed via Lutris using Proton Experimental, no problems to speak of while playing so far.
