- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 day 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? 1 day 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.

Love the DS4s. I’m not a fan of the asymmetric analogs of other controllers, though I will tolerate them.

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.

You probably smell really bad. Olfactory fatigue might make you think otherwise. Just shower and moisturize. Find skin friendly soap.

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 2 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.

- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 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.

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? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Precisely. When comparing against home ownership, people often only consider the mortgage.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 4 weeks ago:
Haven’t played it, but the concept is being able to drive around after, between, or even during races to do exploring and side adventures

That’s a horrible idea for so many scenarios. Maintenance, repairs, accidents, sales, accidental death… Yeah, no.

That budget is the key. You have to demonstrate/convince the purse holders first. This isn’t always an easy task.

- Comment on Alien: Isolation is too long because the Alien is too clever, says former Creative Assembly writer 5 weeks ago:
As a patient gamer I have a high tolerance but I prefer my games on the shorter end. 20 hours sounds like the sweet spot to me for core gameplay to be honest. I can also respect the stance of wanting longer too though.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 5 weeks ago:
Gotta hand it to her, it’s done wonders for recognition. No one’s mistaking the name.
