- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 6 hours ago:
No. I don’t think The Boys would be an accurate portrayal.
I think it would be much worse. Like apocalyptic.

Did you get the apple Busch because you thought it’d be a special treat or did you get it because it’s February and it’s was on sale for half price?
- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 1 week ago:
Agreed. That was an incredibly hard thing to get the NES to do

Its a matter of scale. If labs went through pipette tips the same way that fast food joints went through plastic straws, they’d be banned too.

Non-LTSC Windows 10 hits EOL next month. They’re telling you you need to upgrade to the latest version to stay current, albeit in the most Microsoft way possible.

- Comment on Hollow Knight Sequel 'Silksong' Crashed Game Stores, as $20 Price Irks Competitors 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, I would’ve paid $60 for this game and still would be happy with it at that price point. The game is incredibly good, if a bit punishing.
The fact that it was only $20 means that this game is an incredible value prospect, and will likely reach a much larger audience as a result.
TC was in a lucky position because their first game was also incredibly popular and sold well enough that budget was probably never a concern, and not all devs have that luxury, but indie games are supposed to be like this. They’re supposed to be made for the enjoyment of the artform with lower scopes and lower budgets. They aren’t supposed to compete with the AAA space.

I can see that being a draw for enough people to own both

What makes this better than the Analogue Poket?
- Comment on The UK just took a harder stance on Banksy than genocide 3 weeks ago:
It’s a lot more complicated than that. Their stance us "Pro-genocide, as long as it’s profitable and far enough away that I don’t have to see it.
Actually, I guess it’s not that complicated after all.
- Comment on Legend of Legaia – 1998 Developer Interview (shmuplations.com) 4 weeks ago:
This game is wildly underrated and probably would be better remembered if it didn’t come out in 1998

If you want to entertain yourself you’ll carry a guitar with you.
This just guarantees that you’re going to hear Wonderwall by the white guy with a guitar at literally every party you go to.

Having experience with both, I can tell you that a safety razor is way easier to use than a straight razor, and gets you the same result in half the time.
- Comment on [minor spoilers] Promise Mascot Agency 5 weeks ago:
I bounced off of this game initially because I didn’t care for the mascot management aspect. I think I need to revisit it with adjusted expectations as most people love it so I must be missing something.
I much preferred their prior game, Paradise Killer.

Writing all the songs on the disc is amateur hour. You cant look at them while it’s playing to skip to the right track unless you know the CD perfectly.
It’s better to write it on the insert, even if it means you have to keep it in the case and not in a CD wallet
- Comment on Techrights — Internet Relay Chat and Gemini Protocol Help Us Relive the Net of the Dial-Up Era 1 month ago:
Discord circa 2018 was pretty much everything I’d want in a modern IRC.
If they can just bring that set of features, I’d switch back to IRC in a heartbeat.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 month ago:
The pathological need to find something to use LLMs for is so bizzare.
Venture capital dumped so much money into the tech without understanding the full scope of what it was capable of. Now they’re so in so deep that they desperately NEED to find something profitable it can do, otherwise they’ll lose the farm.

- Comment on Next BioShock Game Suffers From More Development Hell After Failing an Executive Review 2 months ago:
The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months
I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.
Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 2 months ago:
I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.
It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.
A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.
