Certified hood classic.
- Comment on Nvidia’s CEO says the US should ‘reduce’ dependency on other countries and onshore technology manufacturing 1 day ago:
Not going to happen with that idiot in office. He cut basically all manufacturing initiatives.

Plus, they occasionally release pretty decent music
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
Nobody wants to do that. North Korea is a shithole-class country that hates SK, is propped up by China, and to a lesser extent, Russia, who basically use them as slave labor and cannon fodder for their illegal war in Ukraine.
While NATO could easily steamroll NK, SK is right there and would get heavily damaged in a war. And then SK would probably have to take care of a ton of starving, brainwashed, uneducated people and a bombed flat country. Nobody wants to fix them, and superpowers like China are actively working against peaceful initiatives like reunification.
It’s an injustice for the world, but there’s much bigger fish to fry on the world stage right now. Existential, extinction-class threats like climate change and nuclear war. Democracies fighting tooth and nail against totalitarianism, like Ukraine. And western countries in various fights against the predictable but extremely annoying rise in fascism.

They’re smoking symbiotes.
- Comment on What are your favorite apps for public transit and bike navigation? 5 days ago:
We used Google maps today, but it put us on an actual stroad with sharrows. Five lane, 35 mph road. We uncomfortably rode on the sidewalk. On the way back, our group noticed that there was a large bike lane on the other side of the road that Google didn’t use, and that it kept us on car lanes, not safer power center parking lots and all that.
Somewhat disheartening, unfortunately. :/
- Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors 5 days ago:
People definitely dance here, but I’m usually going to gay bars or weddings. I support stickers over cameras, too. If you are going out with friends, you might as well have a good time rather than just being buried in your phone all night.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 6 days ago:
The original Subnautica is worth playing, it’s a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

I miss the worm lights. My cousin had one, and even though I had the Advance SP, I thought the worm LED was super neat.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games! 2 weeks ago:
Black mesa is worth it, full price. I played both the OG and black mesa back to back. Fantastic game!

I met some nice people, but had better luck just meeting people naturally in my 20s. I think the reason why dating apps didn’t work is that it’s kinda like job apps online, where there’s just waves of people, and everyone is just kinda putting their resume on their profile. Hard to stand out and meet “real” people among bots/hidden likes/ app design/bad matches.
Usually these companies make money by having users churn through loads of bad matches and then continually pay for premium.
I’d recommend joining a club IRL or volunteering, it might be a more organic fit. Friends -> dating can come naturally out of that.

Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P

Are there better alternatives? I was planning on using tailscale until now. :P

Climate change will defeat everyone soon if we don’t stop blowing through all of our deadlines.

What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?

Looks intriguing!
- Comment on Subnautica 2 will have a bigger map and a silent protagonist, say devs 1 month ago:
Thank God for a silent protagonist. BZ is the game that made me realize why games have silent protagonists. Nobody would shut the hell up, I even turned off voice tracks.
- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? 1 month ago:
I use my job with library books fairly often, though the waiting list is sometimes 6-8 weeks for popular titles.
- Comment on I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one. 1 month ago:
The Witcher is the only game I’ve ever rage quit and then rage uninstalled. There’s a mission a number of hours in where bandits get you into a swampy bottleneck, while one shoots you at range and the “Pain” animation stunlocks you into dying at the hands of his minions. Fuck that game. Live is too short to grind through that shit :P
- Comment on ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs 1 month ago:
The DLC had good open worlds, but the main game just felt too dreary and brown.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
It still has some rough edges, even after the major updates. I liked the Panam ending a lot, arguably one of my favorite game endings ever, but the police spawn and logic is still terrible compared to the likes of older GTA games, and the cars still feel gross to drive. Just Cause 2 had better vehicle handling, and that’s a title from 2010.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
I want more cel-shaded games. And more engines mean more unique experiences. I hate when every game starts to handle the same way.
- Comment on Subnautica Is Coming To Android/iOS 1 month ago:
It’s a great game, but I dunno how well it will work on phones. The UI is gonna have to be really reworked. I found it a bit clunky even on desktop. The story is fantastic, though. :)

- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 month ago:
DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn’t feel fun. I’m not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.
- Comment on Money tree pruning 1 month ago:
Oh, I think that light is still good. I used one like it for years, and only swapped to a different one when my roommate took it when we graduated uni. I got a different, cheaper light that crapped out a year later. Then I learned that spending over $150 gets you a light that won’t burn out as quick from daily use.

This made me chuckle

They don’t make this exact model anymore, but this one is what I’ve been using since 2023. And whoa, Nelly, this thing is bright. Way too powerful for most plants. You can have multiple layers of plants in an ikea glass cabinet and they will all be happy…at 50% power. Maybe even 25%.

I also got four of these bad boys and some mini ones (don’t bother with the latter) and some thermal epoxy to adhere it down. Even with four heatsinks, the controller gets extremely hot. By default, it is dangerously hot. Glued them on each side of the controller. The heatsinks get extremely hot, but the controller gets down to a reasonable temperature.

It makes all of my cactuses, chiles, orchids, and other assorted tropicals flower throughout the year. (I run it at 50% with a Phillips Hue automatic plug timer)
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 month ago:
You will never clog a toilet if you get a bidet. Putting tons of TP in is how you get clogs.
