- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 1 day ago:
I feel like that’s any retailer now. Most places online offer free shipping if you hit some threshold.

- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19) 2 weeks ago:
I’m not the OP here, but while the DS games are not everyone’s cup of tea, which is fine, I think DS2 is an SS tier game and was my favorite of 2025. This game had me feeling all kinds of big emotions. It’s great. And the gameplay is very tight.

Honestly, my PC at this point plays FFXIV and that’s basically it. And I’m OK with that.

- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 2 weeks ago:
I use NextDNS for my phone (pihole in my house) as the service can block ads on any device. I think I pay $20/y for it, and that’s worth it to me.
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 3 weeks ago:
Based on what toady Mike Johnson and trump have been saying today/yesterday about how the GOP should control elections, I have a lot of worry that there will never be any more “good guys” elected.

Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I’m in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 weeks ago:
Counterpoint: Someone can play up through Stormblood without having to buy anything.
But, yeah, I agree. I don’t really want to think about how much I’ve spent on this one game over the last 12 years. But roughly spitballing:
- ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker, Dawntrail…I’ll say that’s 6 x $40 (not accurate since I bought special editions for some and moved from PS3 to Pc so that’s an extra cost there, too): $240
- $13/m for 11 years (I’ve played ARR since launch but there have been some times where I turned off my sub for a little bit so I’ll just knock off 12 months): 13 x 12 x 11 = $1,716
- Various Mogstation purchases, roughly $40?
- Total for me with this napkin math: $1,996
Woof. But, I do love the game and spent all weekend playing it just now. So there’s worse things to spend money on.

Currently the best investment is in gas mask manufacturers, unfortunately.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 3 weeks ago:
Yeahhhhh 8K is going to be pretty far off considering we still get 1080p “enhanced” trash with YoutubeTV for sports games. It looks like ass on my good, 4K TV. I can’t imagine that on an 8K display.
Though some sports - like the Unrivaled games on HBO - are of a higher quality, you just don’t get that everywhere.
And that’s just sports. Couple that with the fact that some people still have data caps, and I just don’t see widespread adoption any time soon.

Is there a shortage or is it just price gouging? We should be using the right terms.
