- Comment on Black & White 3 doesn't sound like it's ever going to happen, but good ole overpromising Peter Molyneux may have let slip about a remaster of the original 3 days ago:
He has zero connection to the company anymore. He’s just talking.
- Comment on Self hosting as a gift 5 days ago:
You’d be giving both them, and yourself, a job. Not a great gift unless they’re actually into this kind of thing and techy enough to be able to get up to speed. It’s not hands off enough to be given to someone who can’t maintain it themselves.
- Comment on RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow 1 week ago:
Those are two games with extremely different needs…
- Comment on What is your self hosted power draw? 1 week ago:
Server PC has a mean draw of ~46W
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 1 week ago:
You brought up butts. My point with going to an extreme with that is even you can agree there is a line somewhere where something shifts over the line of “too ridiculous to consider for serious purposes”.
You not understanding that, and trying to reframe my argument as equating mascots to butts, says a lot about you. It’s also less of a logo and more on the standard of a generic social media profile picture that I’m no way relates to the product.
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 1 week ago:
Again, nothing to do with assholes.
And the P is capitalized, so the software is not presenting itself as keep ass. Would your company use that software if it actually was? With a cartoon butt as the logo, not a key?
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 1 week ago:
Thinking something is unprofessional and less likely to be reliable because it uses memes and shit has nothing to do with hating those things, though.
You can enjoy those things and still not trust your website/business security to software that uses it as it’s public face.
THAT is what’s being missed in this thread.
Like would you give a second glance at choosing something like UwU.jajaja.lol or whatever for your antivirus? It puts out “we don’t take this seriously” vibes and that translates to “you shouldn’t take us seriously either”, which doesn’t mech well with a serious software function.
It’s a tone mismatch. What Might be fine for a shopping list/fitness tracker/rss feed aggregator might not for a finance app or cyber security

Not if the stakeholders don’t take it seriously enough to even consider it an option let alone agreeing to pay for it …
- Comment on Bitwarden Switches to Commercial License 1 week ago:
It’s because being abusive was able to bypass some of their guardrails.
- Comment on New California ghost gun lawsuit takes aim at company that sells 3-D printer filament 1 week ago:
They used fear of guns to attack Right to Repair and small manufacturing. It was never about guns.
- Comment on At what point did you decide to become a pc gamer? 3 weeks ago:
Decide? Didn’t have a console for most of my childhood.
- Comment on Microsoft want to record your face and feed it to a generative AI, telling it to go off and design a game from your frown 4 weeks ago:
Why use a picture of a Sony game as the thumbnail?
- Comment on Do you miss the pre-2022 internet? 5 weeks ago:
You need to go back to like 2015, before the massive right wing propaganda machine got a wedge into the gamer demographic

Spinoff? It was the original idea.
- Comment on When the only reason people remember you existed is because of a alt history game 1 month ago:
Hoo boy. Ok, I did some digging.
TNO is a mod for the Hearts of Iron IV. A WW2 Grand strategy game produced by Paradox Interactive (also known for Crusader Kings).
So this is niche upon niche upon niche. If other people know of this guy, it’s probably not from this fan mod.
- Comment on Cleopatra lived closer to us in time than the pyramids 1 month ago:

- Comment on "Machines that weren't game machines before will become game machines": Take-Two CEO predicts that streaming will help fix the industry's hardware pricing problem 2 months ago:
They’ve been predicting this for like 15 years. It’s still laggy as shit
- Comment on One Expensive Mistake 2 months ago:
NASA used metric, it was a contractor that fucked up the conversion on their piece which they decided to do in US units for some reason
