Ah, yeah, I totally misread those screenshots. My mistake. Still not good, though. I take back that YDI, but yeah, not surprised they’re getting ghosted after all that.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 day ago:
What second coming? Terraria still has another update in the pipe.
- Comment on Left-handed sep funnel anyone? 1 day ago:
I know nothing about manufacturing, but I wonder if/how it’s cheaper to do this rather than just printing on both sides.

Lol, YDI. When asked to provide the identifiable information, you just say “Stop and do the thing I want.” You seriously expect them to just hand over an account to someone who can’t provide basic information about it? You owned yourself, pal.

No shit.

That’s one seriously selective initialism, hah.

Ah, I see. I was for some reason only assuming portable use. Hope it’s working well for you!
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 5 days ago:
I gotta ask - why not just play the music on your phone?
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 5 days ago:
I’m in the same boat. I only ever used the site as an easy, hassle-free image host. When they steadily increased the hassle and included more and more ads, I stopped using it in the end. No clue that it turned into it’s own social media site, or how that even happened.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 6 days ago:
Not unless you keep up with migrating your files. Drives fail over time.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 1 week ago:
It’s “hypotheses” btw.
- Comment on Protester arrested over ‘Plasticine Action’ T-shirt: ‘How ridiculous is this?’ 1 week ago:
Yes, appropriating a call to end a genocide to protest generated content is pretty ridiculous. Cruel, even. And complaining when your appropriated symbol is mistaken for the original is asinine.
- Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women? 2 weeks ago:
I mean, red and blue are 2 of the 3 primary colors in pigments, so that probably has something to do with it. Why yellow missed out, I have no idea.

Missing the point and the problem evident in the story.

FB employs humans to catfish users?
- Comment on It's 2025, the year we decided we need a widespread slur for robots 3 weeks ago:
Why do people use a single work of fiction as “proof” of anything? Same with all the idiots yelling “Idiocracy!!11!” nowadays. Shit is so annoying.

Yes and yes.
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 3 weeks ago:
It’s so good
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 4 weeks ago:
Sayonara Wild Hearts. The game itself is fantastic, as well. One of my favorites.
For anyone that does get the album, I recommend listening to it in game order over album order. Maybe it’s just cause I’m most familiar with it while playing, but it makes more sense in that order, imo.

Making images worse is not a “good use of technology”.
- Comment on Things that make you go hmm... 4 weeks ago:
Why did you regenerate an images of already existing shots from the show? Just wasting energy to make worse copies of things.
- Comment on YSK: Bandcamp is waiving its fees today and all money is passed to the artist (until 12 a.m. PST) 4 weeks ago:
First Friday of the month, but not every month. They announce the next ones a few months in advance.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 4 weeks ago:
Was lucky enough as a kid to get to visit one of those giant, astronomical telescopes one evening. The astronomer got it pointed at what he called a “star cluster” and invited me to take a look. I expected, like, a handful of stars. Ten? Twenty? I saw more stars in that cluster than I’ve ever seen in my life, and it blew my little mind. It was stunning.
- Comment on Layoffs hit CNET as its parent company goes on a buying spree 4 weeks ago:
“You need to cut the fat so we can buy more companies that we will use as ballast just like you.”
Like, I get some companies will feel like they don’t have a choice if they want to stay open, but man…it really feels like a terrible idea to sell out to these people. They don’t care about anything except their own bottom line, and every asset they pick up will be used and discarded with that in mind.
- Comment on Slime Rancher 2 - Release Date and Physical Pre-Order Announcement 4 weeks ago:
I feel that doesn’t really apply for a game that’s been playable for several years now. It’s not a triple-A preorder, it’s just the physical relase for an early-access game.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 weeks ago:
Back to what, exactly? At what point in the past was it easier to use a computer than it was in the late 90s? Unless you’re talking about before computers, which doesn’t really have any bearing on what’s being discussed.
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 5 weeks ago:
Anyone have a guess as to why these companies don’t just cut off the country being used to spearhead these attempts? Like, half the popular games are blocked already. And setting this precedent will likely lead to further fuckery in the future. Is Australlia really that profitable that it’s worth the current and future hassle?
- Comment on A Hellraiser video game. What do you all think? 5 weeks ago:
single-player survival horror action game
It’d be really interesting if you played as the Cenobytes.
I do agree an all cutscene trailer tells use basically nothing. Does some good for tone setting though, I suppose.
