From what I heard, Candy companies lobbied for a change in when the clock changes happen so that it would happen after Halloween and kids would have more daylight for trick or treating. And therefore more candy is purchased.

Shameless stolen comment: It’s fitting that International Women’s Day has only 23 hours.
- Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you 3 days ago:
Might as well skip the gameplay, give the achievements and trigger the good ending.

Ok, right off the bat the nested tooltips is a really cool system.
- Comment on Folk Emerging: stone age nomadic 4X strategy, demo out 6 days ago:
I’ve always loved the beginning of a Civ game, but kinda hated how bogged down the middle and late game get. So if this gives the feeling of early civ games, I’ll probably love it.
- Comment on Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. 6 days ago:
Unless someone already has age verification ready to go and wanted to be a monopoly for a while.
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 week ago:
I’d do the same…
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 week ago:
Partly because newly released games are buggy and unfinished and they can take a while before they’re stable and quality of life features fully in place.
I don’t want to pay to be a beta tester, and I especially don’t want to pay full price for that. I can wait a bit and get a better game for cheaper.
I’ve only bought a couple of games on early release or at release lately. Deep Rock Galactic Survivor because it had a demo I enjoyed, and Hades 2 because I trust that studio and Hades is one of my favourite games.
- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 weeks ago:
I accidentally put my earbuds though a wash cycle and borrowed some airpods for the gym while waiting for replacements. I don’t understand how a solid one-size-fits all approach can be so popular. With silicone tips you can have different sizes. I actually use a different size for each ear.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 3 weeks ago:
Dynasty Warriors has been my stress relief game. I just love jumping into a hoard of enemies and just start swinging.
- Comment on How long and how hard would it be to get a star removed on The Hollywood Walk of Fame? Asking for a friend. 3 weeks ago:
Like Batman where the bat on his chest is reinforced because it draws fire.

Better check if he knows which plant grows raisins.
- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 3 weeks ago:
We just started reading those books at bedtime so I’ll be able to report if I see that word in there.
- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 4 weeks ago:
I wondered if the word had something to do with a googol (I learned that word from World Book Encyclopedia kids books), but I figured my young son didn’t know that word yet and just invented some word using Google. Crazy how language can get around on the playground.
- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 4 weeks ago:
Wait, what? My son has been using “googleplex” when he wants a really big number. I thought it was a weird word he made up. I guess it’s a thing….

Is there something about timing that prevented it from being released under Biden? Why wasn’t anything happening sooner?
- Comment on The data windows collect about you goes to a company founded by someone who is in the epstein files 5 weeks ago:
Might be that guy who founded that Virgin company. Why did we let that slip?
- Comment on Duke Nukem 3D 30th Anniversary Tribute | The Voice, Creators, and Legends Behind the King 5 weeks ago:
That was a fun watch. I played through the most recent edition of the game with developer commentary, and that was really neat to listen to the developers talk about certain details about the level or what certain areas reminded them of, or a developer who had passed away and what they had done. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about the Duke Nukem voice actor, so that was new for me.

Ooh nice! I was just thinking about bubble bobble the other day. I’ll try this out.

I’ve had this game on my wish list for a while but forgot why. Looks like I’ll have to give it a shot.
- Comment on Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox 1 month ago:
You can switch to WaterFox and it seamlessly uses the FireFox sync to use all your passwords. Very easy drop in replacement.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 gets new stealth missions today, and its super-slimmed install size version is finally ready to take over 1 month ago:
You can play it on Linux, and from what I hear the anti cheat isn’t as invasive. I don’t need to use sudo to run the game.

Omg, love this so much! Fuck all those other trails apps that take your data and then still charge a huge amount.

As a colour blind person, I’m pretty sure I used this for a while.

- Comment on Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!) 7 months ago:
Congrats on the year anniversary! I don't always click on your posts, but when they show up in my feed I'm always happy to see it. I'll have to try out Uncharted 4 since that's your top game in the Best Of section.
When I'm playing games, I never think about taking screenshots. How do you manage to take so many? Do you have the mentality while playing that you're always on the lookout for interesting shots to take? Do you have your finger hovered over the print screen button?

Wouldn't better efficiency lead to less physical requirements which leads to lower labour costs?
- Comment on Here is another cozy co-op game recommendation 8 months ago:
Looks like a great game! Reminds me of the squirrel segment in "The Sword and the Stone", which was one of my favourite parts of the movie. Who hasn't wanted to run around as a squirrel?
