- Comment on Warhammer Blood Bowl announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC 3 days ago:
I understand Blood Bowl III was poorly received, but is this just a re-branding and a coat of paint of that game? Or is it actually an all-new game and they’re giving it away as an apology to purchasers of their previous fuck-up?
- Comment on Mega Man's voice actor says he won't be returning in Dual Override over non-union contract concerns 4 days ago:
I haven’t played a Megaman game since X, so the idea of him having a voice is weird to me.

If you’re still making use of play store apps, I quite like Quick Cursor. I’m on a Pixel 8 Pro and I miss my 3A.

What’s the reason behind that legislation?
- Comment on Today is the 40th Anniversay of Zelda! 2 weeks ago:
This was my experience as well. I didn’t have an SNES, and so every opportunity that I could play this at my friend’s house, I did. I never got all the way through until I emulated it in university.
I did, however, get a Game Boy, and Link’s Awakening became my defining Legend of Zelda.
- Comment on Cloudflare now serves sites in Markdown to AI agents 4 weeks ago:
A few things come to mind 1. Is this much different from the “reading view” popularized by Instapaper, reading later, etc and now baked into most browsers today? 2. What is a token? 3. How is it that tokens have become the base unit on which we denominate LLM work/effort/task difficulty/cost? 4. Does every LLM model make use of “tokens” or is it just one or a select few? 5. If multiple use the idea of tokens, is a token with one LLM/provider equivalent to a token with a different LLM/provider?

For me, Starsiege: Tribes set a bar that has not been cleared since. AVP 2 came close. Tribes: Ascend also came close in its earlier days.

You don’t need to head to about:config for this, it’s right there in the settings GUI.
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 1 month ago:
Different strokes I suppose. I don’t have a living room PC and couldn’t get one for CAD 200 + Wii remotes + mayflash dolphinbar.
I first tried emulation on the Rock 5B that I have running Android TV but it did not perform.
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 1 month ago:
I picked up a used Wii U with 4 Wii-motes for 200 CAD.
This lets me play (every?) GameCube, Wii, and Wii U games, along with any NES, SNES, N64, and 3(DS) games that were released to the virtual console/Wii U shop - and no fussing around with emulators.
It’s a huge catalogue of games to play natively with proper Wii-mote support, or 3rd party bluetooth controllers
I’ll eventually get a picofly installed in my V2 Switch - but for the time being the Wii U is a great value gaming machine.

- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 2 months ago:
I’m waiting patiently for Framework to release a 14” to 15” touchscreen 2 in 1 with stylus support. I’m glad they dipped their toes in the water with the 12, but the offerings just aren’t yet there to tick enough boxes for me.

- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 2 months ago:
When traveling you can pre-purchase an E-SIM and already have it loaded to your phone in advance of landing - avoiding the whole airport SIM purchase shuffle, or the holding off on using your phone until you get to a convenience store, etc.
I use an E-SIM for my personal plan, saving the physical SIM for a work line.

- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 months ago:
I tend to keep to Lenovo, and have noticed that it will vary per device.
Some devices when on deep discount will go up in price if you switch from Windows to Linux as the OS selection - because the discount was on a specific configuration and now you have gone outside that.
On other devices, you switch from Windows to Linux, and you save $$. Pretty hit/miss.
