- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 day ago:
True, but I’m currently playing with my kids on Xbox too.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 day ago:
Yeah, and I always stop playing the original early for the same reason.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 2 days ago:
For day one, performance is actually fine. I have much bigger gripes than getting fps dips in the open zones. Like levelling ffs. I have 100 strength, willpower, and blades, but am doing less damage to mobs now than I was doing in the beginning of the game. Or levelled loot drops and quests.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 6 days ago:
The remaster is good. I hope Skyblivion is good. More games for consumers, the better. People here are commenting as if Bethesda has a responsibility to handhold the entire modding community. They are just doing their thing to make some money with employees that want to get paid and also make good games. Bethesda has had some downs but also some ups. This remaster is an up so I enjoy more Elder Scrolls.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 1 week ago:
I feel like basic camouflage wouldn’t be difficult for a UFO. With more advanced camouflage, there’s no way we would know.
- Comment on Every time you eat, you're trusting many strangers to not have tampered with your food 2 weeks ago:
Or use tap water to wash your food?
- Comment on Please choose one 3 weeks ago:
The 15 is typically an 18.
- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 3 weeks ago:
This feels like one of those things where couch critics aren’t qualified. There’s a pretty strong history of three letter agencies using this strategy successfully in other organized crime industries.

I don’t know. You tell me, headline.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 4 weeks ago:
How about GOG Galaxy on Linux?
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 4 weeks ago:
I love this.
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 4 weeks ago:
Well it’s not easy. They are unsung heroes. They aren’t the only volunteers in this world. Do you think the people in our communities volunteering to pick up trash or people at homeless shelters volunteering are requesting compensation or a pat on the back? Honestly, there’s more than enough instances and volunteers to host those instances.
And just to clarify, I do think our admins deserve a pat on the back and donations. I am eternally grateful, but they shouldn’t resent their community for not donating to them.
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 4 weeks ago:
The core argument here is should there be an expectation that donations should cover admins labor costs.
Personally, if an instance is run off of donations, then it’s a nice to have. As an admin, you shouldn’t have that expectation. If you no longer want to volunteer your time, then don’t. Shut the instance down, find someone to help you maintain the instance, or pass the instance off to someone else.
I’m also okay with paid instances and admins trying to make a reasonable salary or even making additional profit as long as it’s transparent to the users. It’s their choice to charge, it’s our choice to pay.
Overall, instances should be run by a group of volunteers, not a single individual. Otherwise, the long term viability of the instance is questionable.

Civ 7 is out?
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 5 weeks ago:
This week I’m going to try out ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi. I know Vivaldi is partially closed source, but I’m not actually in the camp that thinks all closed source is bad.

- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 5 weeks ago:
Eh, I think that’s a stretch. Right now, Lemmy is going nuclear on Firefox. Should I also stop using Librewolf, too, because ultimately, it contributes to Firefox? Chromium is solid and I think it’s better to show what type of chromium we want instead of outright boycotting the entire open source project.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 5 weeks ago:
What’s wrong with ungoogled-chromium? Or Vivaldi?
- Comment on Best game ever? 5 weeks ago:
Yakuza, especially the earlier in the series.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 5 weeks ago:
An option, but not fully open source.
- Comment on China bans compulsory facial recognition and its use in private spaces like hotel rooms 5 weeks ago:
Which is fine. At the end of the day, it’s another technology with uses and abuses.
- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 5 weeks ago:
What better chromium based browser is there?
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Fair enough. Good luck on your journey!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
It’s not the fear of bureaucracy that is concerning, it’s the lack of interest to listen to your sound advice on a relatively simple topic.
- Comment on Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara 1 month ago:
It’s worse. Right now, people see the fascism in front of their eyes. They can choose to wake up or remain delusional. Before, it was masked and the average Joe wouldn’t know better.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
Run, if it’s not too late.
