- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 2 days ago:
Elden Ring, the game where people choose to play the PS4 version on the PS5 because the PS5 version isn’t optimized well, doesn’t run that great on the Switch 2?
Crazy.
- Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle 5 days ago:
Exactly.
Even college graduates need time to learn and build experience as they work up the ladder. A lot of theory and stuff someone might learn in college won’t necessarily be what they’ll find in the job world.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 1 week ago:
I do! I enjoy camera modes in games a lot, too. I like to look at the architecture in games because I think it’s fascinating.
For BF, though, I do think a little playground would be great. Since they have that map builder tool, I may end up just having to make one myself.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 1 week ago:
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 week ago:
I’m old enough to remember when MS said Windows 10 would be the last Windows and they’d just update it over time.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 1 week ago:
I always liked going into older BF servers that weren’t so populated just to be able to get a lay of the land without being destroyed in three seconds.
Or to be able to use the vehicles and get used to them without as much threat.
Maybe I just want a mode that lets you free-roam maps…
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 1 week ago:
I’ve had a grudge against Spotify waaaayyyy back when it first launched as an app on the computer.
For some reason, the Spotify app on my Mac wasted a ton of resources and battery. And it made me so mad I’ve never used them since.
Then years later they made dumbass Joe Rogan the face of the company so fuck all that.
- Comment on The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales – Announcement trailer 3 weeks ago:
Square: “Alright, we are developing a new game that looks pretty neat. Who is available to come up with the worst names possible for the title, characters, and locations?”
- Comment on What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? 4 weeks ago:
As far as dungeons in FF14, at this point, I believe that basically every dungeon can now be done “solo” (that is taking 3 other NPCs with you to complete the dungeon). And the trials, I believe, mostly have that as well, though I’m 100% positive on all of them.
But the point is: as far as dungeons go a player can get through them by themselves now. In fact, I think much of the main storyline content is now solo-able.
- Comment on The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I agree.
Had this couple just not freaked out, it wouldn’t have gotten as much traction. Perhaps even the person who took the video and posted it may not have if it was just a “normal” reaction.
I mean, the guy is a piece of shit. And she is too if she’s knowingly having a relationship with a married person, presumably without the consent of his wife who she probably knows.
But this particular thing I don’t think is emblematic of anything other than the FO after the FA.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 5 weeks ago:
I actually really liked this game.
This was another, though, that launched with a bunch of bugs on pc. And while I didn’t run into a ton on PS5, the game crashed for me here or there. And that sucks.
But I played and beat this game. And I quite enjoyed it. But I wouldn’t say it’s a masterpiece or anything.

Really not interested in anything the guy with the terrible facial hair wants to make.
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 1 month ago:
At least they can use that money they saved for checks notes powering CoPilot no one is asking for.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
I just feel bad for a lot of kids because maybe their phone or tablet has the game they want but often they are playing using just the touchscreen and that interface sucks.
It just does.
I get that kids get used to it, but it’s like getting used to being kicked in the nuts when you have the option of not being kicked in the nuts.

Then quit your job and get one that doesn’t need to worry about stuff Microsoft doesn’t support anymore.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 1 month ago:
text-align: center
or
margin: auto
or
grid
or
flexbox
It’s really not that hard now.

CSS is useful but also the devil.

- Comment on OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT 2 months ago:
If street sweepers went away, people would notice within a week or two.
If tech bros went away, we’d just enjoy not having tech bros.
- Comment on A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes 2 months ago:
Man, the Steam Deck bros are really insufferable, aren’t they?
- Comment on A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes 2 months ago:
Kinda the best of both worlds if you have both games, really. MK8 had a ton of “traditional” tracks and MKW has a ton of new tracks.
That’s a lotta tracks, baby!
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 2 months ago:
Yeah, this is still the GOAT 🐐.
- Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking 2 months ago:
I’m really excited about this update. I use my iPad with continuity all the time (typing on it right now with it connected to my mac). I don’t even necessarily hate Stage Manager on iPad, but it never fully worked like they advertised because some apps just didn’t work well with it.
So if this can hopefully iron some of that out and also give us better file management, then great!

Ditching FB was one of the easier things for me back when I did it right after the Cambridge Analytica thing.
Still share photos with family, just do it directly now.
I keep in touch with all my friends who are actually friends.
EZPZ.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails 2 months ago:
Interesting.
I have switched to Mango Languages because my library gives free access to it. So I’ve been trying to share that information with people. Or, at least, check your local library to see if they offer something.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
If you have a library card, you might check with your library to see if they have free access to something like Mango Languages, as well.
Mine does, so I can use that app for free. I’m probably going to switch to it as my main app soon because this guy is an asshole.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
I’m so close to letting my streak die because of this dude. Fuck him.
My library (and check yours, too!) has free access to Mango Languages, and what I have tried there has been nice. But they don’t guilt trip you into doing lessons so you have to keep on top of it yourself.
- Comment on Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years 2 months ago:
I appreciate that they didn’t kill the game. If people are still paying for it, and presumably making even a little profit, it’s probably not that hard to keep it running.
Too, I don’t really know how I’ll feel if/when FFXIV ever shuts down. I have had a character now since 2.0, and I would be very sad to see them go. I imagine it’s the same for some folks who have been playing 11 for 20 years.
