I’m going to vote for the guy who shares my religious values, and he’s going to make the thing you’re doing illegal
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 4 days ago:
Not really. Taking away the challenge ruins the fun.
But I liked activating cheat codes in GTA: San Andreas. Spent many hours traveling around the map in a flying tank and causing random mayhem.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 5 days ago:
We’re living in a steampunk world after all
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 1 week ago:
I have an ok relationship with my parents. Never been offended about these ”insults”.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 1 week ago:
They probably have the finances to spend as much time they want this time around. I wouldn’t be surprised their Joe Danger money dried up during NMS development.

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution

- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
My app version is up to date. Tried it a few months ago. Still black screen whenever I try to share the entire screen. Individual windows work fine. None of my coworkers have managed to make it work in Wayland.
It worked a few years ago with some workaround, but Slack patched out that workaround.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
Not any more difficult than doing a fresh Windows install.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
Wayland is fantastic, as long you don’t need to do screen sharing in Slack. Only thing hindering me going Wayland on my work laptop.

It’s still always DNS for some reason
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 2 weeks ago:
I’m mostly a layman. The only thing I know is that MOND is the leading competing explanation. I leave it for experts to decide which one is correct.

- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
I think $700-$800 is a more realistic range unfortunately. It depends on how thin margins Valve is willing to accept, but I don’t think they want to sell at a loss like the typical console manufacturer.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
Relevant part of the article.
Larian Studio's Publishing Director Michael Douse took to Twitter to argue Valve aren't looking to make a device that exceeds the power of the consoles, they're making a baseline. "They're probably betting on the fact that anyone who wants more demanding PC hardware on their TV is part of the audience who know how to turn any PC into a Steam Machine," Douse argues.
[…] Douse says, Valve are setting a baseline. "If Valve can once again normalise and thus create that entry point there is potential for big growth in that new market". Once Gabe and his kin establish a baseline, other companies, such as ASUS and Lenovo, can roll in with their more powerful machines.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 2 weeks ago:
That’s what years of screwing customers over does. Ubisoft is no longer a brand people associate with quality products.
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 2 weeks ago:
Things behave in ways that can’t be explained by our current understanding of physics.
For example, galaxies rotate faster than we would expect. It’s as if there’s more matter in the galaxy than we could see. Scientists use the name ”dark matter” for this phenomenon.
Scientists don’t know if dark matter really exists, or if there’s other ways to explain this phenomenon. Another explanation is that there’s no extra matter, but that this is just how gravity behaves in large scales.
What’s interesting is that different galaxies has different amounts of ”dark matter”. Some have almost no ”dark matter” at all.

Artifact 3 confirmed!
- Comment on Steam Machine is huge for indie development 3 weeks ago:
I believe Valve’s intention is to lay the foundation for third party devices, like how it went with Steam Deck. Their business model is to open up their storefront to more people - not to sell hardware.
If that’s the case, then Steam Machine will have little effect on indie development.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 weeks ago:
”Quest 3 without Meta” is what I’ve been dreaming about. I feel like Steam Frame could be my entry to the VR space, if the price is decent.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 weeks ago:
From what I understand the Steam Machine performance is somewhere between Series S and Series X. I don’t think it will cost more than a Series X.
Maybe 600.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
That’s right. I forgot there are ”normie games” with kernel anti cheat
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
Steam Machine feels more like a console that happens to also be a PC. If reasonably priced, the question is why anyone would want to buy Xbox or PlayStation when Steam Machine has a bigger library than both combined - on launch.

A brief moment of KDE desktop shown.
2026 will be the year of Linux Desktop!
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using the same base Xbox One controller for a while. It was easy to set up for Linux. Just had to install some extra package but after that it was good to go.
Out of all the mainline console controllers, Xbox One’s is my favorite. They really nailed it with that one.

I don’t even have a drivers license
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 weeks ago:
Easier to buy second hand furniture with a car. That option is pretty much off limits for me.
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have a car, but sometimes I envy those who do. They can just look for furniture on second hand listings online and then just go and buy it.
If I need to do the same I need to do some serious planning ahead.
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 weeks ago:
I don’t even have a drivers license, and I recognize there are limitations with public transport / bicycles.
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 weeks ago:
The car isn’t bound to any schedule, isn’t limited by any predetermined bus stops, and can carry the TV you just bought.
