- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 4 days ago:
Financial trickery is what this is. Rolling one failing business into the next, Tesla will follow soon. It’s incredible that this is even legal, but of course nothing matters anymore in Trump’s America.

- Comment on While the jury's still out on it, Highguard gets a temporary new mode that ups the headcount in matches 6 days ago:
The thing is, I’d have given it a chance if I could play it on Linux. But alas, I can only watch from the sidelines.
- Comment on Tesla: 2024 was bad, 2025 was worse as profit falls 46 percent 1 week ago:
And yet, the stock barely reacted. It’s really a gamble on Elon’s ability to keep the scam going and growing at this point. Wouldn’t recommend for investors, would recommend for idiots.

- Comment on IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light 3 weeks ago:
I watched the gameplay video and it was just so, so meh. I see what they were going for, but it just falls flat on so many levels. Ironically for a Bond game, it lacks style. There was such a lack of consistency, of thought, it’s like they fed various better games to an AI and this is the result. It’s all over the place.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 5 weeks ago:
Since the rise of proton gaming is now absolutely viable on Linux as well. The exclusives use cases for Windows are disappearing fast.

Thanks for clarification!
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 5 weeks ago:
This is… a thing? I really can’t tell whether this is a step towards stability or volatility for GOG. I love the mission, I love having an alternative to stream, but it needs to last. It’s GOG financially viable? Good question, no one really knows.

- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 1 month ago:
The inability to move the taskbar to the top was literally one of my main reasons to switch to Linux. Good work, MS product manager.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
That’s literally how it works. If you run a store selling/licensing media you get to decide what’s on the shelves and what isn’t.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
It is available on other, quite popular, stores. GOG and itch.io are household names in PC gaming.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
I haven’t heard about the details, what’s your source on that?
As far as I recall, the developer said he didn’t know the actual reason for the ban.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
Valve is pretty upfront about being a business first and foremost. Their customers are loyal because they consistently provide high value at reasonable prices, even though they are in a dominating position in the market. They’ve taken unpopular decisions in the past, but never any that seriously alienated a meaningful chunk of their customer base.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
Based solely off the trailer I can see how a big American storefront would err on the side of caution here. There is very little to gain from carrying a game decidedly built with controversy in mind, but a lot to loose.
With the publicity around it and sales still possible through alternative stores maybe things will turn out alright for the developer in the end. “Banned” media is always in demand, after all.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 months ago:
This is the reasonable way.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 months ago:
Didn’t Valve just fix this with Fex?

- Comment on If I shut off the internet how many days do you think it would take before people lose their minds? 3 months ago:
From a business/productivity side it would be cataclysmic.
For the private life of people quite the opposite, things would get a lot more sane.
- Comment on ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web 3 months ago:
Honestly: does anyone at this point think to themselves that using an OppenAI browser is a good idea? What does it even provide in terms of benefit over literally any alternative?
