- Comment on Gothic 1 Remake gets a June release date 6 hours ago:
Really excited for this. Gothic 1 is still one of if not the favorite. But it was janky even back then. Can’t imagine playing the original today, but hipefuly this one turns out fine.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 days ago:
I mostly enjoyed the world and the overall story. I really enjoyed the slow uncovering of what happened and how the world became what it is.

- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 days ago:
I would stop too tbh, if it weren’t for the story and worldbuilding
- Comment on Steam is giving some players refunds for Ashes of Creation, which had the biggest MMO Kickstarter campaign ever, after leadership resignation and mass layoffs 4 days ago:
Albion Online was crowdsourced and doing well.
But exception proves the rule I guess
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 week ago:
I only ever used or interpreted this as a thank you. But in the end, if someone makes an error and then flashes a “thank you” at me I usually let it slide because at least they said thanks. So I guess it works.

- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 3 weeks ago:
A lot of ifs but yeah, I guess. Would be a cool precedent to have.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 3 weeks ago:
Except the City of Heroes one, all are unofficial. But for the shut down MMOs, nobody really cares afaik. Sure there are cease and desists for private servers for live games, but never heard of such takedowns for servers running for “dead” games.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 4 weeks ago:
Why even have Windows at this point? Just have Copilot as the OS and be done with it.
- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 5 weeks ago:
Just shows how well the rebranding was thought through.
- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 1 month ago:
Also on an assumption made where an informed decision could be made instread. State of technology is an objective thing
- Comment on The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - Newsweek 1 month ago:
Definitely, there is using AI when you want and then there is having AI forced down your throat
- Comment on The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - Newsweek 1 month ago:
Search engine replacement is probably the only use case of AI for me - for the times when I don’t know exactly what I’m searching for so the conversation style is helpful.
- Comment on New Jolla phone and Sailfish 5 offer a break from iOS-Android monotony 1 month ago:
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in 2023 the company’s former leadership started a new company, temporarily named Jollyboys. The old Jolla OY was wound up, and they renamed the newer concern to Jolla Mobile Oy.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 2 months ago:
I’m in a similar boat. I had Proton Unlimited because of a good deal they had, downgraded back to Mail Plus and got Mullvad for VPN (which looks to me better than Proton).
The thing about Proton is they make it easy to degoogle. I can easily set up gmail stuff to be forwarded for things I didn’t switch yet (or people who didn’t catch on the fact I changed emails) and they have a whole suite of products.
But really, if Tuta introduces a Drive on feature parity, I will consider a switch - though it will be pain to change everything again.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 2 months ago:
That doesn’t make them evil, but it does cause me concern around their awareness of the shifting US legal landscape.
Doesn’t make them necessarily evil. But yeah, overall I’d agree with you on it. I’m certainly in my guard since then though.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 2 months ago:
I remember there being a little more to it, but I don’t have receipts. They did fairly reasonable PR explanation which lowered my concern a little - but some doubts stayed with me for sure.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 2 months ago:
Yeah, I guess it depends on how you look at it and what are your limits on this stuff. I can see why you disagree even with me for sure.
It definitely didn’t look great. It certainly didn’t inspire confidence. Not bad enough for me to leave (once the head cooled), but enough for me to consider it if a competitor comes up with a similar offering (looking at Tuta Drive once they introduce it).

This is not completely fair or true statement - though it is not too far from truth.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 months ago:
Yeah, and yiu don’t have to be a carnivore to be a predator.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 months ago:
They eat fruits and bugs and stuff.
Well, if they hunt bugs, they are predators, no?
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 months ago:
I remember there used to be a goat on some island (now extinct) that didn’t have any predators so it evolved forward facing eyes

- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 3 months ago:
I will return to right lane as soon as I finish overtaking and it is safe for me to do so.
But keep the fucking safe distance while ai do so. If you slow down a few meters before me, instead of few centimeters, it won’t delay you much.

From what I heard it did.
