- Comment on Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up 2 weeks ago:
I fully expect that iPod to be removed over licensing BS if we ever get a remaster, because Apple has only gotten worse since Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive are no longer with the company.
As an aside, a modern rerelease of the iPod Classic with WiFi and Bluetooth would be so cool. Sort of like those SNES mini consoles Nintendo etc used to make a decade ago. Never gonna happen, but it’d be nice to keep the form factor alive for enthusiasts.

MGS4 felt like it was a whole console generation ahead at the time. Even in retrospect it could pass as a PS4 game.

Off topic but does the UK still have the death penalty for treason? Just wondering.
- Comment on Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI 4 weeks ago:
What is placeholder text even supposed to mean? Why would they need anything more sophisticated than Lorem Ipsum? Same thing with “placeholder concept art”. If it’s used early in the production cycle it will at the very least implicitly shape the perception and thereby further development of the game. Worrying.

- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I had that same exact reaction. Like, I loved DOS2 and know it had horror elements in it, but the overall tone was much more humorous and more cartoony. Seeing this trailer lean so heavily into edginess and shock value was a little disheartening. There’s enough awful shit out there in the real world, so I really cherish the few RPG series that reject cynicism, postmodernist storytelling and grimdark aesthetics for a more positive and hopeful feel. At least we still have Dragon Quest and Xenoblade I guess…

- Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive 1 month ago:
We don’t know how consciousness arises, and digital neural networks seem like decent enough approximations of their biological counterparts to warrant caution. There are huge economic and ethical incentives to deny consciousness in non-humans. We do the same with animals to justify murdering them for our personal benefit. We cannot know who or what possesses consciousness. We struggle to even define it.
- Comment on What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice 1 month ago:
3 days work, 4 days off is the sweet spot for me. Engage in wage slavery as little as you can get away with.
I only make enough to cover rent with 200-300€ left over each month to spend on food and other things, but I can keep myself entertained on very little.
Having more money wouldn’t be worth spending an extra day each week getting exploited. - Comment on My thumb stick on my 3ds is disintegrating, and my switch is starting to follow. Please help. 1 month ago:

Its a little annoying, but much less than I always feared. Make a note with every service you can think of, brew some coffee, put on some music and zone out for a bit haha. Pretty much done now, took less than 2 hours.
You got this! - Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 month ago:
This worked as a great reminder to ditch gmail. Just made the switch to Protonmail after a year of procrastination. Currently an hour into changing all my accounts to it, and about halfway done. Well worth it. They got a Black Friday deal right now. I went with the base Mail+Calendar package because I already got Mullvad for VPN, and don’t need cloud storage.
Couldn’t be happier.

SteamOS is by far the least stable experience I’ve ever had out of all consoles and handhelds I remember owning. Linux phone would be nice though. - Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 months ago:

- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
My Deck definitely had its fair share of hardware issues when I got it. Ended up getting a replacement for a faulty GPU, but the WiFi card also had its issues and kept disconnecting constantly. It was a first year LCD Deck though, so maybe they’re better now. I also used to be in a Steam Deck discord and the number of users reporting hardware (and software) trouble seemed fairly high there too.
Valve makes up for these issues with above average customer service, but in an unsupported country I’d for sure avoid early adopting their hardware.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
No warranty in unsupported countries, and from what I’ve seen of Valve’s quality control you probably wouldn’t want to risk that.
