Fair!

I think both of you are right but also wrong. It’s called “whatever you want” and there is no universal name for the practice. If you’re not using your PC for media, it certainly isn’t an HTPC.
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 1 week ago:
A retiree couple that scrounged up enough to have ~$50k yearly budget for the remainder of their days falls into your definition of wealthy, and I would argue that doesn’t line up. They are not, in fact, wealthy.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 2 weeks ago:
Persona has a unique look for sure. Some AAAs do look neat, but it is very, very, rare. On the whole they don’t come close to the indie scene.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 2 weeks ago:
The indie scene is where you’ll find the most creative takes. There are some truly stunning styles that mainstream games would probably never try.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive 2 weeks ago:
We have a billion platforms for longer vids. The shortness is what made vine amazing. They need to keep it that way.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 3 weeks ago:
Expecting every post to come with a little handholding tutorial isn’t reasonable either. For the surgeon example it doesn’t take a surgeon to give the warning, but that same non-surgeon isn’t necessarily in a position to guide anyone either.

No.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 3 weeks ago:
Being encouraged to learn about the basics isn’t gatekeeping, it’s just sound technical advice. Self hosting can be great, but when you shift critical services/infrastructure and something goes south you expose yourself to some serious harm (think self-hosting your password management), or perhaps leave yourself open and vulnerable to threats you don’t understand.
Having access to easier/friendlier tools is great, but using them without fundamental understanding is risky.
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
Love the DS4s. I’m not a fan of the asymmetric analogs of other controllers, though I will tolerate them.

Pero like, why though?

Not a bad business idea, given how many nutters are out there.

It’s well known that reddit obfuscates votes on purpose. Views I have no idea.

Antiperspirants contain aluminum, not deodorants.
- Comment on card game shop 5 weeks ago:
You probably smell really bad. Olfactory fatigue might make you think otherwise. Just shower and moisturize. Find skin friendly soap.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 5 weeks ago:
Truck drivers have such small dick energy. Further, consent is not required to post pictures taken in public.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 5 weeks ago:
I’ll only address journalism as it relates to video games/reviews, but my opinion is that there are better ways to communicate information about a game than reading about it.
For me the big one is simply seeing it played. I’ve read beautiful reviews of games that when it comes time to play do not click for me. Watching someone else play it gives me way more context and appreciation. My go to for this is simply youtube. I skip the middle man entirely. I get a wide range of videos from different players in an easy to access format. Others I know use twitch to similar effect. As the options for providing this information grow, older media lose footing. I’m not surprised at all. I’m not sure we should lament it, truthfully.

How dare.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 5 weeks ago:
I think lack of accountability is a common trait among americans in general though. Everything is someone else’s fault. The individual is sacrosanct. They can do no wrong.
- Comment on Historians never talk about the "good old days". 1 month ago:
Management (mis)using kpi is a classic example.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 month ago:
Risk tolerance is definitely a thing and I’d argue being all in on the s&p500 is already poor diversification. Global broad market etfs would fare better. The worst thing to do regardless of tolerance or portfolio is selling at crash.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 month ago:
Precisely. When comparing against home ownership, people often only consider the mortgage.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 month ago:
As always, you have to run the numbers. Ownership also comes with hidden costs. Property taxes and maintenance aren’t cheap.
- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 1 month ago:
Don’t think the comparison is valid. While there will be creepers at hooters, they are more likely to already be social and accustomed to the norms. They’re out and about. Whereas there’s an undeniable mass of socially inept users that streaming specifically caters to. They have zero concepts of socially appropriate behaviour and interactions.
The older single man angle has nothing to do with it.

It appears you do not, in fact, get the joke.
