- Comment on Innersloth announce Among Us 3D by kicking Among Us VR into a crusher 1 hour ago:
The big problem with 3d is that you’ll never get your friend group to all join the same platform. The great thing about among us is that I could have friends join from their 3 thousand dollar gaming rigs or their phone. It saved us during covid.
Unless you can still join from other devices, but I’m not sure who would have the advantage.
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 1 hour ago:
Did they really? Oh my god please tell me your joking, that a company as modern as docker got a freaking oracle CEO. They pulled a Jack Barker. Did he bring his conjoined triangles of success?
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 1 hour ago:
Almost all of them. Forgejo handles containers already for example
- Comment on What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube? 1 hour ago:
And the permission of the peertube admins. A single channel on YouTube can easily be over a TB. Just casually dumping a TB or two of storage onto their wallets is going to cause them to notice.
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 1 hour ago:
Not crypto, blockchain. When done correctly and you don’t have every user trying to calculate the next hash for some pennies it works pretty well. Computing the hash when an action happens like a purchase is fairly trivial compared to mining.
Crypto started the concept of the blockchain, at the end though it’s just a distributed immutable audit log. The hash is required, but if done correctly, it’s trivial.
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 1 hour ago:
This is surprisingly one of the few actual useful uses of blockchain. Business tried to shove it in everywhere and it didn’t make sense because blockchain is a way to audit federated separate instances - which businesses are not. They’re a single monolithic structure, and they don’t need the trust - they already have it. They’re themselves, they just have to trust their own internal teams.
We, on the otherhand, are the perfect use for it. A way to say X person paid Y person for this product on this day at this time, X person now has the authority to rate Y person for how they did. Immutable, impossible to fake.
- Comment on These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony 2 hours ago:
Holy shit, it is worth reading the article for those texts.
He’s guilty AF, and now he’s whining that he won’t get his payout? Maybe you don’t be a creepo level 10000
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 day ago:
I didn’t think it was bad, I honestly enjoyed it. I think people are too polarized, it’s either baulders gate or it’s trash. I disagree. It wasn’t top tier, but that doesn’t mean it was bad either. It’s okay to have a mid game.
- Comment on I created an instance for a specific community 1 day ago:
Can confirm, I host a very small instance with a few niche communities. Many subscribers, I don’t know of any defeds against me though. Plus it’s how I expect the fediverse to really grow naturally. Join a general one but then smaller instances of more niche topics. Kudos OP!
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 1 day ago:
It was, the blue and red have an optical illusion with my eyes, it really looks like 3d to me, even as a 2d image
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 1 day ago:
Okay unrelated, but do the cogs in the mesa graphic there look 3d to anyone else? Is it intentional? Trick of the eyes? Brilliant if they did it on purpose
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 2 days ago:
Valve and I have trust. 20 years of it. They are there, have fair prices, let me play where and when I want, no gotchas, I trust them. Sure tomorrow they could break that trust, but so far they haven’t.
Then Amazon, who has continuously ruined my trust. Adding ads to an ad free prime tier, lying about delivery times, getting shittier and cheaper products on their store, and oh yeah, just being an evil company. And they wonder why I never even looked at their store.

Boils down to how much are you willing to lose? Personally I do weekly

Wow I was interested to hear what your opinions were but nevermind after that comment.
- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 6 days ago:
Honestly that makes sense, they’re probably kicking themselves for it. They could have been the onlyfans or Patreon, and honestly back in the day I would have been for that
- Comment on Ubisoft revenues decline 31.4% to €990m 6 days ago:
Hey maybe shadows will finally turn them around, I’m sure they did I’m something interesting and new with the game to get us to take notice.
- Comment on Ubisoft revenues decline 31.4% to €990m 6 days ago:
For me it’s the arrogance. It’s the calling of themselves “AAAA” gaming and trying to push base prices of games past $100 and then making bland boring games. They think they’re amazing. This is their reality check. Their games are what I play when I have nothing, and I mean nothing else to play
- Comment on Ubisoft Financial Briefing Reveals Massive Loss In Revenue 6 days ago:
2024 was arguably the lowest point the company had in many years, with things getting so bad that the company’s leadership has been called into question many times
Never before this, no one ever stopped to think if they were doing a good job or if their plans made sense. There was a clear downward trend, the seawater was coming in and people were jumping out, but they decided it was fine. Now it’s half in the water and maybe it’s time to wonder if they’re doing a good job

I’m doing my part!
- Comment on What is everyone using as a HTPC? 1 week ago:
I honestly don’t know if it’s working… I’ll have to see. It’s worked flawlessly for me, HDR and 4k haven’t needed transcoding and I store the raw format. I went all out on that machine, 5000 series AMD cpu and a 6900XTX for hardware. It drives my TV, I wanted the experience to be better than a desktop. (To family, frame drops on a computer are normal, but consoles give “perfect” 60fps even though we all know it’s just tricks, so I had to drop big for it)
- Comment on Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails 1 week ago:
Good then, glad you’ve made it through, but obviously stay frosty. Those execs will cut every engineer as long as they still look good. Be ready for anything
- Comment on Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails 1 week ago:
I’m very sorry man, I’ve been through that, and I have friends that have been cut at unity before. They treat their workers terribly.
Focus on getting better first, just process it for a bit. When you’re ready to start looking, the market is warm right now. I’m more than happy to help review resumes.

Very nice! I’ll check this out!
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 1 week ago:
Multiplayer is a crapshoot, singleplayer I’m more surprised when something doesn’t work. I was able to play Veilguard day one using proton. Madden 2025 they explicitly banned linux. Just always check protondb.com before purchasing.

As long as it works with proton I’m happy. There have been a few games that go out of their way to prevent proton compatibility.

I’ll be buying it, no shame in saying that. Just only once, and only on PC, as long as they don’t block Linux. I’ve waited 10 years for a new installment. What’s one more
