Same I when it comes to my next upgrade I want to go AMD GPU next time around for the best Linux support.

Well for me Sony exclusive means Sony produced games, and they’ve just not released in that department. I’m PC now so its not exclusive for me anyways, but it does matter for console players choosing between Sony or Xbox. And Sony has really under delivered this gen with games from them.

That’s been the only selling point of consoles for me. They mostly all come out on the PC now so more an observation of how Sony’s releases this gen has been really lackluster compared to previous gens.

It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn’t even come out with anything that wasn’t a remake.

Makes me happy I have the GOG version of Fallout 3. I’ve played New Vegas but not gotten around to 3.

Yeah, keeping the public in the dark so people against it aren’t their to voice their opinion is how these like this get passed. Media attention to inform the public was a good thing.

They chose a funny example too with Ford when the more appropriate one would be Tesla with it being in current events. But, they went with a dead person because it doesn’t help their argument.

Might be the case for OLED but for LCDs even in gaming mode I notice the difference in delay compared to my monitor.

Then there’s me owner of Android and Apple and talks shit on both haha.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 6 days ago:
They kind of got that rep though for defending things people saw as anti consumer such as soldered ram, limited, storage, and blocking installation of non Apple apps. Always going Apple knows best and its for security.
Not exactly the group known for demanding more, but ones who are mor3 complacent.
I’m an Apple owner too with MacMini and iPad so these criticisms of Apple users isn’t coming from a no Apple products hater.

Wish there was a way to make our own phones as opposed to be continuing to be at the mercy of OEMs who build phones without the intention of people running custom roms. Wish it was like PCs where we could pick and choose our own parts without having to buy prebuilts.

Yep, switching as many apps as you can to foss apps, and moving to non Gmail based email services will make future switching way easier.

Used thinkpads are cheaper and reuse is one of the best ways to reduce ewaste by using something that was headed to the landfill. I’ve been happy with my t480s.
- Comment on Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently? 1 week ago:
Last time I actually heard of review bombing was for Helldivers 2. So for me it feels like there hasn’t been a big public review bombing event in a long time, and reviews can filtered by country, time, and there’s warnings when there are unusual spikes.
So for me no I had forgotten about it, since it hasn’t made headlines in a while.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
That’s unfortunate. Looks like thinkpads aren’t worth getting. I generally do not trust manfucturer preinstalled OS.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
If os can’t be installed off a usb then that means linux can’t either, which makes it a pretty sad machine to spend money on.
So it must be a work or school device then? Which users wouldn’t be installing OS on anyways with it being handled through IT.

Also setting up iso through rufus which gives options to disable it.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
Company gets cut of every single game sold, gets more customers over the years, and because they are making even more money than ever they can’t stay afloat without charging for online.
Yeah… Okay… I wonder how Valve hasn’t gone bankrupt.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
It’s console brain basically of just never wanting to admit the cons. How many generations and decades went by before they finally admitted 60 fps and above is ideal after years of arguing 30 fps is enough.
Difference for me was I too move over to PC after the PS4, since why would i accept paying more for what is free on another platform.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
And it started with convincing console gamers it is necessary to pay for multiplayer. Whole ecosystem has been about trying to squeeze consumers for all the money they have. Even the locked proprietary hardware feeds into it of normalizing lack of control over hardware.
But, it is Microsoft at the top so not surprising.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
Yep in this thread I’ve been arguing with some who is saying consoles havr to charge for online because it is so expensive… Yet, on PC for platforms like Steam and Epic despite also hosting and having multiplayer games they don’t charge.
Just goes to show how some consumers after being so used to not having flexibility and lack of restrictions when comes to products become convinced it is necessary.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
Yeah I don’t buy it. Nintendo does free across multiple hardware then when they saw they were the only one decided they’d start taking money too, since it is in a companies nature to maximize profits exponentially.
And then there’s Steam. Also in the hardware business and hosting games and mods and a bunch of other services even Epic with their Fortnite money hasn’t matched. Yet online is free.
You just sound like a consumer who iust accepts whatever methods companies try to exploit consumers and defend as necessary. More a stockholder than a consumer.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
Sounds like excuses when PS3 and Nintendo Wii, WiiU, and Nintendo DS had free multiplayer and it was after Sony decided to start charging Nintendo also jumped onboard because they saw peope like you were easy to take their money.
I don’t even know why you’d have a problem with Xbox charging more for their subscription when you already argue for paid online.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
If they are charging to multiplayer why wouldn’t they want to replace ownership too so they get money every month.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 week ago:
I’ve been in the fuck subscriptions camp. Sony locking multiplayer behind PS+ wad led me to dropping consoles as my primary gaming system too, since I refused to pay for online.

Its also funny how they edit their comment on their downvotes because it upset them.

No one sideloads? Have you not heard of this niche indie game called Fornite that was removed from Google Play and Epic pushed sideloading means to install it?

I recommend saving the money and checking out the Finals which has better destruction. Has 3 v 3 objective mode too now for those who hated getting third partied.
- Comment on Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs 2 weeks ago:
If there is a kanban extension or something of the sort you might get the drag and drop list you want.
There is another Google Keep like app called NotallyX. Can even import in your Google keep backups. You can set up password protected auto backups with the app.
As for syncing syncthing as others have mentioned would be the best solution that would let you be able to use whatever you choose to go with.
