- Comment on "Most people" at Bethesda wanted to make Elder Scrolls 6 before Starfield, claims Skyrim co-lead, but Todd Howard dragged them aboard his rocketship 2 weeks ago:
Recent news says that Asha has effectively done that and is more actively involved in Bethesda now. Not that I think she’s better based on recent statements and actions.
- Comment on Recommend some anime for me 2 weeks ago:
Baccano - 1930s style gangsters but add in alchemy. One of my all time favourites.
- Comment on What 32-bit hardware are you still selfhosting on? 3 weeks ago:
This is more for like rating movies I’ve watched and books I’ve read, not calories or weight or anything. It’s not updating often enough for a monitor and it’s accessible from anywhere so I can pull it up on my phone at any time.
- Comment on What 32-bit hardware are you still selfhosting on? 3 weeks ago:
Also running some things in a pi zero w. It’s starting to get a little processing limited so I might add a second and split some things off. Pihole, stats page I wrote to help me track stuff, those sorts of things
- Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale? 5 weeks ago:
Can you switch to IPv6? My ISP NATs me on IPv4 but I’m clear through on IPv6 and so that’s how I run everything.
I’m assuming the NAT is your ISP’s, if it’s yours then ignore me.
- Comment on I measured the idle RAM of 19 self-hosted apps on identical hardware so you can size a VPS without guessing 1 month ago:
I was gonna say, no way their memory estimate is anywhere near real world for some of those. This feels quite useless because “using the apps will blow past the floor” is some real “draw the rest of the owl”.
Especially since they said this was inspired by beginners not knowing what they can actually run on what, this is gonna get them way underestimating what they need
- Comment on Low Stakes Cozy Games Suggestions? 1 month ago:
I get that. I just thought of it, others suggested Peak but RV There Yet is just as fun and actually easier to step away from as one guy can just drive or repair or explore or whatever. It doesn’t halt progress quite as much as in Peak I feel.
I also think Trine might work if it hasn’t been suggested. It’s a fun little action adventure game but it’s not hard or stressful, been playing through them with my own friends

If it’s just two of you I enjoyed phogs with a buddy of mine. Technically you pause if you walk away as it takes both people. I’m not sure you’ll find many games that fits literally everything on your list but fingers crossed for ya.
- Comment on GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux 1 month ago:
So for the trans stuff there’s a decent summary and opinion here: resetera.com/…/cdpr-is-a-transphobic-company-its-…
I personally (I know I’m the one who started this chain) didn’t have too much of an opinion on the trans stuff as I’m not in that space at all, so kind of defaulted to that community’s opinion. Not great, company had room to improve.
They’re kind of full of the corporate non-apologies and didn’t handle it the greatest. Everything after was them trying to save face I think. To their credit they did ultimately fire the responsible party. And if it was just that I might have left it thinking they screwed up, hopefully they learn.
But then GoG did their Nazi thing and I’m thinking if I keep smelling smoke there’s a fire ya know?
- Comment on GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux 1 month ago:
Cool, I’ll look at it just as soon as the evidence they aren’t anti-trans Nazis comes in.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
I keep hearing great things about God of War, so might finally play God of War III
- Comment on FCC grants approval for sun-reflecting space mirror that's been widely criticized by astronomers 2 months ago:
Because they recognize how amazing it is. They just fail to recognize they’re exactly what it warns against
- Comment on Id Software co-founder John Carmack "can’t muster anger or outrage" over Xbox gutting the Doom studio, but does say it'll "dampen the mood of the founder reunion" 2 months ago:
Man, that article is so on point. Props to Mark Warren. I already complained about amplifying single people’s opinions but this is so perfect. Calling out an AI pilled C-suite for just falling in line with other AI-pilled C-suites cutting actual people right and left
- Comment on "I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team 2 months ago:
Don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t meant to be taken as an attack on Romero as a person. I mean as a guy I actually like him. His map sale with proceeds for Ukraine was a great move and I loved it.
Even my comment about him not being relevant, he doesn’t need to be relevant. He made his mark and it was great there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that being it.
As an industry and even economy as a whole though, we focus on this myth of the individual and amplify specific people way too much. I don’t know why this article is the one that got to me because really his comments are valid, leaving a company after pouring yourself into it can be insanely hard. For some reason it just felt like a micro representation of the problem.
People hold up Musk as a genius and amplify his words and ignore every engineer actually doing the math to launch ships for SpaceX. Molyneux gets held up as a creative genius for FABLE (well, did, his image is slipping these days) but ignores all the work done by Shaw, Elfman (still love that’s his actual name), Yarwood-Lovett and the rest.
I dunno. It just got to me. Like I said could have been in a bad mood and not trying to bash Romero.

I might just be in a bad mood today but I feel this entire article is part of the problem. The way I see it this is a guy who hasn’t been relevant in ages is still getting his words amplified about a studio that can’t do anything new since 2010 being shut down by a company that owns too much.
Like every industry it seems all the money has been rolled into a few gargantuan beast umbrella companies and they smother out new and creative things with endless rehashes of the same old same old and they keep the same figureheads who might have been creative at one point on a pedestal for worship long after they should be in charge to feed an impossible infinite growth.
