- 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. 4 days 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 4 days 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.

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 5 days ago:
Never worked for me. Push that button. Pushed the button below/above. Held the button.
Pushed all the buttons.
None of it worked.

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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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? 6 days 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 1 week 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.

- Comment on Political Violence Is Wrong. Charlie Kirk Didn’t Think So. 1 week ago:
Wasn’t even a politician. He was a glorified podcaster.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk killing invoked to bolster UK’s largest far-right rally in decades 1 week ago:

- Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus 4 weeks ago:
When I worked with an influencer who made free workout vids, his entire revenue was 80% of income. It was an extreme minority from free videos to buying something in his store.
Then some algorithm change in 2018 broke his entire income, he couldn’t afford me, and last I checked, he was sponsored by diet pills or whatever fake garbage.
It’s a damn shame because his dream was always to provide free workout vids.
