- Comment on YSK: listening to audiobooks and reading books both activate the same language related areas of the brain 2 hours ago:
Audio books aren’t my cup of tea but I’m extremely glad they’re picking up in popularity for those that enjoy them. Stay literate everyone!
- Comment on GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality" 1 day ago:
Valves competitors love to complain. Compete or don’t, the whining is lame as fuck.
- Comment on A complete tier list for our solar system 4 days ago:
Anywhere you could land and walk around should be considered a world.
That would disqualify the gas giants. I think the criteria needs workshopping…
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 days ago:
Needs more games. Next mainline Zelda or Mario and I’m in. Was never a DK fan and Mario kart isn’t enough.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 6 days ago:
Honestly curious why you believe otherwise. Termination without cause is absolutely allowed, and again, comes with legal provisions for the employee. In Ontario, Canada, for example, this manifests in severance pay.
I’m not super well versed in EU practices so perhaps it’s even more strict but fundamentally if a company cannot afford to retain an employee they must have the ability to let them go.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 6 days ago:
You can’t exactly force a company to employ someone. Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free to terminate. The termination would come with all sorts of employee benefits of course.
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 6 days ago:
Depends. If you’re in a metropolitan city modern condo, there’s a good chance water is provided for all by the condo corp. The condo corp pays the city and adjusts the yearly budgets accordingly, which are then used to determine condo fees. So indirectly every resident pays for the water.

Ginger the cockatiel might not be recognizable to other birds, but her Cookie song was certainly enjoyed by many.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 1 week ago:
You lost me at crafter. Zero interest in that kind of gameplay.

RV There Yet isn’t really that chill. It’s also highly frustrating at times.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 week ago:
I reject the lazy argument. It could just as easily be applied in reverse. The person using it should make sure. Simple.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 week ago:
If I’ve got three+ browser instances open the distinction is incredibly useful.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 week ago:
Why wouldn’t you? It’s faster and more efficient.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 1 week ago:
I never understood the debate. Ensure it’s how you need to before doing your thing. Applies equally to all individuals for any scenario. Not difficult.

I think in colloquial usage, identifying chai as a tea type is useful. No one means green tea when they say chai tea, and using chai as a substitute for tea doesn’t make sense. In hindi, do they use chai for every tea type?
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 2 weeks ago:
You’re getting hate but you’re right. Friendliness in tech forums is nearly nonexistent.
- Comment on Question about accessing my services from corporate Network 2 weeks ago:
1000x this.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 weeks ago:
It is exactly replacing work. Your argument is easy to extend to teams of one solo developer who has finite time and money and it’s easy to see the appeal of AI in general.
I’m also in the AI isn’t that bad camp but it’s pretty clear here they used AI, and rightfully disqualified.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 3 weeks ago:
Don’t you dare put onions in my eggs; I’ll cut you.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
I loooove how divided people are on this and hopefully people come to realize it isn’t black and white. Replacing work hours from humans is precisely why we have tools, why we have technology in general. I don’t buy that angle as a valid criticism of AI at all.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 3 weeks ago:
What I like about running a dedicated physical deployment of pihole (and only pihole) is better reliability, especially when using at for DNS. If a VM host has any issues, the network will lose DNS services. This is much more likely to occur the more layers and services you run on that host.
A friend recently had this happen while they weren’t home and their family went mad as they lost useful internet access - some necessary for remote work.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 4 weeks ago:
Why would you need to reverse engineer the compression algorithm? The output can be viewed without that. I don’t need to know how you got to my party to have a good time with you :)
- Comment on Looking for Software to Track Watched Shows 4 weeks ago:
Curious on the use case here. How do you make use of this information specifically from Jellyfin?

Fair!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
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 month 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 1 month 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.
