- Comment on Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced 2 days ago:
I mean, I’ll be fine too. I just quite liked many of their games and I thought DQ XI was great. There will be no more of that apparently.

There is a lot less traffic/pedestrians in space.

That doesn’t align with any that I know, but anecdotes are just that I suppose.

So they don’t want to me not buy any more DQ games. That’s a bold strategy, let’s see how it plays out.

As someone that uses GrapheneOS without google play services, I’d be fine with it. Fuck em.

The American measurement system is so gloriously random it puts Calvinball to shame.

That would at least be fun, if not a bit uncomfortable long term.

I can’t think of Captain Planet without thinking of that amazing video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwJaELXadKo)

This isn’t a win, this is Google making things shitty for the benefit of no one but themselves.

Was that a St Paddy’s rave going on?
- Comment on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers 1 week ago:
My wife and daughter had heard ads sparingly and they only listen to music. I assumed it was some sort of bug because it is very infrequent, but with today’s corps I should probably invoke the inverse of Hanlon’s Razor and just assume malice.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 week ago:
If you’re actually puzzled, then you’re a moron. The vast majority of people clearly strongly dislike these things and you’re everywhere in this thread defending them. Are you being paid for your services or do you just love the surveillance state that much?
- Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. 1 week ago:
This isn’t surprising to me in the slightest. I’ve been part of a small team tasked with assessing products and services for larger enterprises before and they’d almost always look over our findings nod a bunch and then go with the company whose rep took them out to a fancy dinner or gave them kickbacks.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
NC and Total Commander are honestly great and probably greatly preferrable to Windows Explorer these days.

The true final boss of the internet. Honestly, I hope it’s gone for good, but you cannot kill true evil.
- Comment on It's a classic 1 week ago:
I hate that I know all of these. At no one has mentioned swap.avi yet. Oh shit, I just did!
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t call Win 8 welcome, most people rather hated it. Then again, following Windows 7, which I the best of the bunch, couldn’t have been easy. MS just bet that the future of Windows was tablets and the world replied “lol no”.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
This reminds me that many years ago, there was a small market for better file managers in Windows. Most were more like “side grades” that were better in some ways, but worse than others, but there was one that was way better than all of the called Directory Opus. It was silly expensive for the time (I want to say like $80), and most others were free, but holy shit was it feature filled, including tabs, and just really good. It was also a bit heavy compared to explorer back then. Now it probably runs insanely fast and is still way better. I just looked and it still exists at basically the same price, but any sane person considering it should just leave Windows.

Win 3.1 wasn’t even that slow on a 386sx (yay, 386 buddies! o/), its nothing compared to Win 11 on midrange and lower laptops these days. Then again, those CPUs usually came in PCs with Win 3.0, so Win 3.1 was definitely noticeably heavier. MS also wasn’t nearly as large and well funded back then, there is no excuse for this other than pure incompetence.
- Comment on Converting HDMI to composite 1 week ago:
These absolutely exist as I owned one, though technically it was DVI to composite active converter, but it had no issues with an HDMI-> DVI converter in the chain. I bought the one I had many years ago now though, so you might have to deep dive into some less mainstream sites. I wouldn’t worry too much about the brands being some nonsense, it is likely the same internal hardware as anything with a recognizable brand.
- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 1 week ago:
I bought one of those when years ago because of the wacky novelty. The wifi capability was even less reliable than cheap sdcards are for long term storage.
- Comment on What are your best memories of playing Civilization III? 1 week ago:
Civ III is not one of my favorites, but my best memory of Civ III is probably the game where I played a game on emperor difficulty and one AI side was neck and neck with me and we spent well over two centuries having an air war of mostly bombers. It was honestly ridiculous how closely matched we were and the war lasted until the end of the game.
- Comment on What are your best memories of playing Civilization III? 1 week ago:
SMAC was honestly more complicated than Civ III, but it was so good that it didn’t matter!
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
I’d agree, and I prefer 4 to 5 greatly for that very reason.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
I think I would have really enjoyed Civ Revolution had I not already played a ton of Civ 4 on which it was based. I just couldn’t get over what was missing.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
I played more Civ 1 than any of the later games. Civ 2 is also great as is 4 (3 is decent, but I wasn’t nearly as enthralled with it). Every game in the series since has had aspects to it that I disliked enough to keep me from continuing to play and I heard enough bad comments about 7 to not both buying it.

Food sure, but low cost housing? Maybe a long time ago, but certainly not now.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 2 weeks ago:
The article clearly mentions California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming. Perhaps others that I missed as well. Your comment I replied to was not specific to a location, you said “it makes sense to me that consumers can’t be pumping energy into the grid with no way to cut it off” and I was letting you know that it shouldn’t be a concern because that isn’t how solar power systems work. Do you think that Utah will work different for some reason?
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 2 weeks ago:
Did you respond to the wrong message? Nothing I said anything to do with Utah.
