  I have almost 6500 hours in FO4, I played today.

  I have maybe 300 hours in Starfield, can’t be arsed to look. Haven’t touched it in at least a year.

  Bethesda knows how to make great games, but they chose not to. I don’t know why.

  That’s my take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla ‘Robotaxi’ trademark refused for being too generic⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Will the things use LIDAR? Tesla is so far behind on self-driving tech in their cars, I think they need to finally admit their cheap camera-only method doesn’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They were right.

  It does sound really stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federal Reserve rings every alarm bell about Trump’s economy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They want violent riots so they can declare martial law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We pink inside too :(⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  partially aquatic.

  So, like, a mermaid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In 2012 (ish), I bought a lifetime subscription for a flat $75. Over the next few years of using it, they got worse and worse with shit like this, so I switched to Emby for a bit, and then Jellyfin. I never shared with friends, tho, because I have no friends, so it was always just a pretty interface and convenience for me. Lately, I’ve just been opening the files directly in VLC, because Remmina is refusing to connect to my media server, and I can’t be arsed to figure out why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this for? (Wrong answers only)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s for washing hair. I’ve seen these before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I hate it when my cat steals my penis!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Penis > fish.

  I agree, but I might be biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield 2 May Be Better Off Not Actually Being 'Starfield 2’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Over 6000 hours in Fallout 4.

  Less than 300 in Starfield.

  I played FO4 today.

  I haven’t played Starfield in nearly a year.

  Good riddance to Starfield. Fast-track Fallout 5. (I know they won’t.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Six.

  Look at this fork. LOOK AT IT. Now, calm down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apostrophe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never use Perplexity, got it.

  I’m old, I don’t browse the web on my phone, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads after you buy a ladder: “Yes, you’ve had one ladder, but what about a second ladder?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

  Linux IS good, and today, the “paradigm shift” is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

  I’m an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn’t hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This shows you how billionaires imagine middle class to be. They’re completely out of touch, as expected.

  Never defend a billionaire, they would never defend you. Don’t defend them, idolize them, or trust them. Billionaires care about money and the power it provides, NOTHING ELSE. That’s the main prerequisite for becoming filthy rich, after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, there’s actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pronunciation is important⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least you didn’t pronounce it “gif”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims: Reuters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don’t have any excuses left.

  Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Statistically, he’ll die of poor health in the next four years. He’s very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is unfair!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh. I’m making a scene. A scene covered in gravy, and a side of soft serve ice cream and sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I jumped ship to Linux Mint almost a year ago. No Microsoft products live here anymore. No regrets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How about we disallow it completely, until it’s proven to be SAFER than a human driver. Because, why even allow it if it’s only as safe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Five years ago, you could not have brought this up without Musk simps defending it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are probably fediverse instances being run by governments for surveillance purposes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use NoScript and uBlock. For this page, there are eighteen different scripts that want to run, but I only allow the two that seem necessary for basic functionality.

  Apart from using Tor and allowing zero scripts to run, we have little hope of even pseudo-anonymity on the internet, and increasingly in our every-day lives.

  We, as a people, tolerate the surveillance state as long as they increase the surveillance incrementally over generations, distract us with shiny toys, and keep us fighting amongst ourselves over irrelevant subjects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s genetic for all mammals to find all baby mammals cute. Adults, IDK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  40+ years, and I’m still on number one. I laminated mine, because I’m a rebel that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how is it to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Split days off sucks, from personal experience, don’t do that. Two days together off in the middle of the week is good if you don’t care about a social life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna miss Danny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you know how long it took me to figure out I’m stupid? What am I, stupid?

  Oh, wait…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, this hurt. So, there’s that.
