What did you think of the Oblivion remastered?
Starfield looked pretty good. But for some reason, Oblivion in Unreal 5 looked incredible. I could be drinking the Kool aid.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Same!
Starfield crashed for me maybe five times in 150 hours. And I remember excitedly telling somebody and they gave me a disgusted look.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 3 days ago:
I run Pi-hole, and ublock.
I went to my pal’s house and turn on his TV, ad. He turned on his Xbox, ad. Was looking for a specific game on his Xbox, another fucking ad.
“Too complicated” he says when I suggested setting him up with a raspberry pi.

I made the mistake buying a Kindle Fire in 2015. A few months in, it was literal garbage. Everything lagged. Very few apps would work. Not much variety in the Amazon app store. Learned my lesson about Amazon products.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 4 days ago:
At my company, most of the IT team are hardcore Trump supporters who do not see a problem with working with LGBTQIA people and being polite to their face, while also wanting them to have less rights.
Yes, they are all white men. And yes, all of them will tell you how hard they worked to get there, completely oblivious of how much an advantage they got to get there.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 4 days ago:
I loved Hero’s Hour, mostly because of it was built using Game Maker Studio, that scrappy drag and drop game making tool.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 4 days ago:
Haha I absolutely bought ZoE1 to get the mgs2 demo.
I then forced myself to play ZoE.
I remember telling everyone I liked it. But at my age, I can’t remember if I actually did.

You gotta share the link: …steampowered.com/…/Heroes_of_Science_and_Fiction…
Oh man it looks great
- Comment on 4 days ago:
even then it will still crash 4 times in the span of one day.
I feel stupid. This was always my experience even on Day 1 release date. That’s been my Bethesda experience since forever! FO4, New Vegas, Skyrim.
You’re telling me people play these games without it crashing every 1-3 hours?

- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 1 week ago:
Lack of education and training really.
I only knew of Linux because I saw some dude use Linux in 2012. And then a few years later, I finally decided to try it out as it was easier for work. After a lot of false starts, I finally started switching around 2021.
Going to imagine most people are the same - get experience from it and then have a reason to use it daily.

Pretty much. OP being a real dick for no reason with that last sentence.
Just ask if you’re okay with dating both in that scenario.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
Oh God I hope not.
Can we just make a community called IHateWomen and have them migrate there?
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 3 weeks ago:
Oh boy I’m glad you said that because I didn’t want to sound like an idiot. I’m 40yo and I have no idea who the VU are, nor does comparing them to the Beatles make me excited to look them up.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 3 weeks ago:
This is going to sound weird but I never actually get Steam emails, outside of receipts. Maybe I disabled them years ago. And I wishlist/follow hundreds of games.
Uncertain if I’m a unique edge case who hates email clutter or not.

Ugh Adam Carolla. That guy was against giving kids free lunches.
It was the first time I saw someone so loudly against feeding kids.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 3 weeks ago:
Not me. I’m pretty immune to ads.
Especially at from McDonalds - now with their $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal that comes with hash browns and a small coffee.
Ba ba ba ba baaaa… I’m loving it.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 3 weeks ago:
Never worked for me. Push that button. Pushed the button below/above. Held the button.
Pushed all the buttons.
None of it worked.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 3 weeks ago:
This is actually why I got a Costco membership. 90% of gas stations in my city have a TV screen now and fuck that noise.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been hearing about how shitty Samsung appliances are since 2018.
Who is buying these?
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 3 weeks ago:
Pi-hole is useful for a lot of other things too.
I bought a camera system and noticed it pinging home for updates, and shut that off real quick thanks to Pi-hole.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if it’ll be like TVs, which are cheap as fuck now for a really nice TV, but equipped with garbage like Alexa and Amazon fire.
Now you can buy a $200 “smart” TV, or a $1800 “dumb” TV.
- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 3 weeks ago:
This is actually really helpful for me. Thank you.
My recommendation ist to look wath you need in terms of availabillity and redundance. For my personal use it’s fine if the Nextcloud is down for a few days, but for a Business that can be fatal.
When my home stuff doesn’t get eleven 9’s of reliability, I get frustrated and shut it down. But you’ve given me perspective. I feel like I’ve been pretty hard on myself because I’m comparing my personal setups to businesses/orgs.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much. Can’t remember what he did that ticked me off like 8 years ago.
I stopped buying and surprise surprise, got everything after Borderland 2 for literally free or like $2-3 at some point.

He was a Groyper, a Nick Fuentes far right Nazi troll, and a Mormon.

Wasn’t even a politician. He was a glorified podcaster.

That’s gonna suck when they realized it was coming from inside the house.
Far Right folks, good luck. Your own people will Charlie Kirk you.
