- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 2 weeks ago:
Why would they learn that when the Switch 2 is selling twice as fast as the first even with a much more limited catalog? A drop of 1/3 is still selling notably faster than the first Switch at it’s same time span.
- Comment on Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026 2 weeks ago:
Windows could have done so much differently. More seamless integration with xbox and cross platform for gaming. Different, easily swappable profiles (windows) for different tasks (basically overhauling desktops, like for art, dev work, etc). Optimizing microsofts enterprise software suite without all the bloat. Not deprecating the idea of android support.
But like all big tech companies, they only see money now
People like to hate on Ballmer but all of these ideas came out during his time. Since Satya replaced him, Windows has just been getting worse and worse and the focus on their products have been lost to the cloud and AI. Sure the stock price rose but there’s nothing exciting about Microslop anymore.
- Comment on Intel is reportedly preparing a 10% price increase for consumer CPUs 2 weeks ago:
They’ve picked themselves quite a bit since last year and are actually very competitive on laptops. They’ve still got ways to go for desktop but the changes they’ve made since are promising.

Just like people are waiting for Half Life 3, we’ve been waiting for Mahoyo 2, Tsukihime Red and more.

Sometimes it’s starting to feel like Type Moon is Japan’s Valve at times.
- Comment on An article on HiAnime's death and anime piracy in general, from a former industry insider 3 weeks ago:
Ah yea, I think Netflix would be a lot more different when making this decision compared to Crunchyroll.
- Comment on An article on HiAnime's death and anime piracy in general, from a former industry insider 3 weeks ago:
If they’re just watching a single show would they really pay for a service? Can’t speak for where you live but I’m fairly certain that where I live no one would do that.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 4 weeks ago:
Download the videos with yt-dlp and watch them locally. If you have a home server, you can set it up to automatically download new videos from specific playslists or channels and add them to Jellyfin.

Is code the new copper?
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 4 weeks ago:
The web version is even worse! It’s all cloud-based, and you need a subscription unless your University pays for a license.
You don’t actually need a subscription for the cloud web version actually.

I would love if that’s the case but I’m frankly not holding my breath.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 5 weeks ago:
Sounds great honestly, locked down console hardware is such an aging concept. If Valve manages to pull off the Steam Machines, it’s proof that we’ve past the age of consoles. Except Nintendo I guess, they’ve always been a special case somehow.
- Comment on [Episode] 【OSHI NO KO】Season 3 • [Oshi no Ko] 3rd Season - Episode 7 discussion 5 weeks ago:
Wait Aqua was listening Akane this whole time or am I confusing names of the shows? He didn’t know about her research until recently, no?
Not listening but he’s been tracking her location all this while and based on what he said about how long he’s been doing this, I took it that this certainly wasn’t the first time he followed her like this.

I wonder how feasible it would be if they’d announce a deadline whereby it would be blocked and recommend people and business to move onto a federated alternative.
- Comment on Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo' 5 weeks ago:
How in the world is that pedantic? I was genuinely asking. Yes, the reasonable expectation is that a “NVMe port” is an M2 slot but they have already mentioned that it isn’t one. So what is it? Your example doesn’t make sense either. There’s no one here saying that their Ethernet port isn’t an RJ-45.
Don’t be that fuckin guy.
How about you don’t be that guy and read the whole context instead of attacking me about it?

- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 5 weeks ago:
Considering that this was just a PvP, you’re not losing much in picking it up as long as you don’t spend money on it. It was kinda cool to try it out for one game and realise it wasn’t ever gonna be my cup of tea.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 5 weeks ago:
And don’t even get me started on gaming news and influencers, who seem like they love to hate. They bitch about being stuck with CoD, then shit on anything that could someday compete with it. It’s baffling.
Nothing gets more “engagement” like that. It’s not even isolated to games, any other section of news gets the same treatment. It’s a shit show of journalism that we have today.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 5 weeks ago:
Considering this is very clearly targeted enterprise, there’s probably some sector of a company that works on data that’s only in the cloud anyways. They’re likely the ones asking for this. I highly doubt this would become a norm across the enterprise.

- Comment on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It Went 1 month ago:
If that were the case, there wouldn’t be so many 2nd hand stores there. The number of Surugaya, Hard Off, Book Off, Lashinbangs among others and independent retro game stores are proof of this.

I may agree with your point but you need to be a lot nicer with how you word your message. Stop insulting the people trying to read your post and calm the hell down. The fediverse isn’t your dumping ground for rage and abuse. Nor is anyone here obligated to respond to your vitriol. It only serves to hurt whatever you’re trying to convey.

Not gonna lie, I’d like to use this geotag a bunch of photos that I dont have location tagged to it.
- Comment on What are some of the weirdest/most niche genres (in your opinion) that you enjoyed watching? 1 month ago:
That’s probably because Oshi no Ko is less of a idol anime and more of a drama that centers around the idol industry.
