- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 1 day ago:
Shade aside, I do think more developers should make their own engine. Yes it takes time and resources, but those are spent on exactly what you need instead of on getting what you want out of an engine that was made to do everything but focused on nothing.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 days ago:
The risk for both general and corporate business users far outweighs any minor inconveniences of moving to a new OS version.
Minor inconveniences like HAVING TO BUY A WHOLE NEW FUCKING COMPUTER.
These people live in a fantasy world.
- Comment on Sextortion with a twist: Spyware takes webcam pics of users watching porn 1 week ago:
They did the same to me. I think they’ve got cameras set up all through my house. So I started walking around naked so they’ll have something nice to look at. I haven’t gotten a thank you yet though.
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 2 weeks ago:
They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.
- Comment on Belgium to recognise Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly 2 weeks ago:
The recognition depends on conditions that won’t be met, so it is dead on arrival. Israel’s response is predictable: in public they’ll condemn Belgium and say it supports terrorism. In private they’ll laugh about getting away with it again, and continue murdering people.
- Comment on Is it? 2 weeks ago:
Witches made of sand! They cause sandstorms, extremely dangerous.
- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know. I also remember spending summer nights talking under street lanterns, riding my bike around the block, and playing the Snoopy tennis game & watch. But the video I saw did not feel nostalgic. It felt like a TV ad that I didn’t believe even back then. Or worse, it felt like a cult, which was terrifying.
- Comment on human geography 3 weeks ago:
They know the truth. They know about the Great Glitter Bat. They worship in the Old Ways and prepare for the coming uprising.
- Comment on Civilization 7's latest update has "hit mods harder than usual", but for a good reason 4 weeks ago:
I know you’re talking about early access, but even released games aren’t finished anymore until months later.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 4 weeks ago:
Rijndael is pronounced AES.
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 5 weeks ago:
there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin.
Vivaldi without any plugins also works. No ads. And I’m sure there are many more possible configurations. This article reads like the author thinks there’s only two browsers and two ad blockers.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 1 month ago:
I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.
The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 1 month ago:
Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Never change.
rule34.xxx is a website where users can post naughty drawings, renders, etc. of mostly anime or computer game characters. Think of your favourite character of your favourite anime, game, comic, etc. Chances are there’ll be images of them on there.
- Comment on Meta to ban political ads in EU due to bloc's 'unworkable' rules 1 month ago:
It sounds like a way to pressure the politicians who won’t let them have unbridled freedom to exploit people on their platforms. I hope it won’t work.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 month ago:
Say here’s a thought: can we sue ad companies for theft of electricity? They’re using my electricity to display their ads, without my consent.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M 1 month ago:
There were, but we ate them.
If only.
- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 1 month ago:
in which the service admitted to “a catastrophic error of judgement”
It’s fancy text completion - _it does not have judgement _.
The way he talks about it shows he still doesn’t understand that. It doesn’t matter that you tell it simmering in ALL CAPS because that is no different from any other text.
- Comment on it's just science 2 months ago:
Yes I’m a hot dawg for sure.
- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 2 months ago:
Sadly justwatch doesn’t work for me because it thinks Belgium is only Wallonia.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
Interesting! I tried from a country that has an eID so it should be trivial to weed out duplicates, yet I got that checkbox.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
Oddly, the EU one just has a checkbox that you need to check to confirm that you haven’t signed before. I’m guessing removal of duplicates happens only after closing, along with other data validation.
I thought this strange at first too, but I think it’s because of the disparate identification methods in different countries. If everyone had a digital ID card instant checking would be doable, but note it probably isn’t.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
A “best RPGs of all time” list will inevitably include Baldur’s Gate 2, and likely other Infinity Engine games, most of which are definitely not games without difficulty spikes or required side content.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
The Wolf Among Us, and I imagine other Telltale games (but that’s the only one I played so far). It felt a lot like Life is Strange in gameplay and storytelling, even though it’s also a lot different.
In a similar vein, point and click adventure games like The Whispered World, The Book of Unwritten Tales, or Syberia. The modern ones usually don’t have a failure state (as opposed to the infamous Sierra games), but unlike LiS you may get stuck on a puzzle.
- Comment on Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Shows Signs Of Life With Small Update 2 months ago:
As someone who played the original Prince of Persia, Sands of Time still feels like “the new one”.
- Comment on Do instances exist where you can be 13+? 2 months ago:
In my experience, immature posts are made by people well over 13.
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 2 months ago:
To my social feeds? I doubt it. Plenty of fediverse content, but not added by Threads.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 2 months ago:
I will continue to defend Andromeda. Yes it has its flaws, but no more than the original trilogy. It could’ve been the start of a cool new trilogy.
- Comment on YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto 2 months ago:
Very likely - but that’s not going to happen. Some people will watch less, some will complain but keep watching the same amount, and the majority will just take it as a fact of life and not change their behaviour.

Ooh interesting, thank you!

Isn’t the point of a haka to be intimidating?
