- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 1 day ago:
Why are you commenting on a post you think has fuck all to do with you, then?
But let me say this; corporations becoming increasingly emboldened to replace people with AI, disregard accessibility concerns, and make ethically bankrupt purchasing decisions without any consequence is something that perhaps should concern you, regardless of whether the particular company’s output is of relevance to your interests or not.
Hot take, I know.
- Comment on Ultra-rare unreleased Pentium 4 with 4.0 GHz clock speed discovered — CPU-Z confirms it is an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 980 2 days ago:
The point is, this is not an overclocked chip.
The factory speeds for released chips topped out at 3.8 GHz, but this is a factory Pentium 4 with a base clock of 4GHz.

Ohhh you really got my hopes up there. I was like “There’s an Outer Wilds 2!?” all excited
But no. There’s only an Outer Worlds 2, sadly :(

That’s a valid opinion if you want ownership over everything else, fair.
But to blanket-label Game Pass as “shit” right from the start really isn’t fair to all those people for whom it was good value, and gave access to a lot of games they probably wouldn’t have been able to justify otherwise.
Personally it wasn’t for me, because I too don’t like subscriptions, but for some of my friends it was and I respect that.

- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
For real.
When I still had Netflix and Disney+ I’d want to watch a show on my PC, but I’d just get black screen and no audio because something about my setup the DRM didn’t like, possibly that I had USB displaylink monitors.
So I had to watch on another device.
DRM isn’t stopping any pirates. It’s just making life a pain for paying customers.

The red route makes sense, because you’re connecting two of the most populous coastal areas of the US to each other.
If you compare this fictional map to an existing map of freight rail there are a lot of similarities

Plus, the whole point of a signature is that it’s easily reproducible by you, but not by other people.
Fast and fluid in a way that feels good to your hand is therefore the best signature, whereas something written slowly and precisely is easier to copy.

- Comment on mkdocs for recipe catalogue 4 weeks ago:
Same for me with Markdown. Love the simplicity.
I went through a phase a while back of evaluating a bunch of note-taking and to-do apps, and hating almost all of them for being proprietary products with so much vendor lock-in.
I eventually settled on Joplin because it just uses plain old markdown, and allows you to selfhost the storage back-end so you own your data.
So because if that, my recipes are just a folder (and some subfolders) with markdown in Joplin.

7 could actually be insanely overpowered depending on interpretation.
“Instantly see inside any open container”
What does it mean to “see” inside a container? If that just means “know what the contents are” (i.e nothing) then its limited, but if it means literally see, with remote sight, that’s much more useful, depending on this next parts…
What does “inside” mean? Does it mean we can only observe the interior, or can we look out from the interior as if out point of view occupies it? And given a glass cup can be considered an “empoty container”
At its most favourable, this power gives you the ability to remote surveil almost any location where a common everyday empty glass can be found.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 5 weeks ago:
Depends on what basis one is comparing it.
They are very different kinds of game, but they have to exist within the same economic realities.
Big studios seem to be working on the basis that just because they spend millions on a game, the game automatically becomes worth whatever price tag they want to slap on it - as if it’s a natural law that pumping in more money should directly translate to more revenue, without fail.
But it turns out the value of a game is what players perceive it to be worth, not what publishers hope its worth.
So it’s no surprise that indie games with amazing price-to-value ratios are seeing a surge, while big studios are struggling and don’t seem to have any ability to understand why their business model isn’t working.
Publishers are all shocked pikachu when their big budget games fall flat, but If people don’t want to buy your $80 game it’s not their fault - it’s your fault for not doing enough to justify the price tag.
So my message to studios isn’t “your games should be $20” (although sometimes they should) it’s “you should provide value that matches the price tag” - and Silksong over here just laid down the gauntlet as a game which looks set to deliver tonnes of value for relatively little cost.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 5 weeks ago:
Take note AAA studios - this is how you do it.
With this pricing, Silksong may be the only game this year that I’ll actually purchase on release day.

Yes. If the planet was stationary in space, it wouldn’t work. Approach from ‘behind’ the planet and you get a boost, approach from the ‘front’ and you hit the brakes.

- Comment on Hot Seat Advert 1 month ago:
Yeah, looks like it.
The advert clearly hopes to give the impression the seat will move you around (like a simulator) but what it actually says is that you move the seat yourself and the seat acts as a controller.
Pretty clear you’d try it, get fed up after 10 mins because it’s harder to control the game than with a normal controller, and never go back to it again.

- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 1 month ago:
You could argue the other way around - growing up with decent and non-predatory practices makes you less tolerant of when companies try to extort you because you already know what “good” looks like.
I’m sure the corpos would love nothing more than kids getting exposed to predatory practices from a young age so they grow up feeling those things are acceptable and normal.

My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration file format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.
So I can’t even add any notes to the file.
