- Comment on US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources. 1 week ago:
I think a global boycott on US-made goods + services is necessary. Trump can only do this because the US is such a powerhouse.
- Comment on YouTube ‘Premium Lite’ is for those that already have a music subscription 1 week ago:
Oh I didn’t know that. That admittedly changes things somewhat. Google still makes enough money from me though.
- Comment on YouTube ‘Premium Lite’ is for those that already have a music subscription 1 week ago:
I won’t pay for YouTube almost solely because Revanced is such a better experience than YT could be. They cannot bundle in Sponsor block without an outrage.
- Comment on The return of troubles for X in Brazil. 1 week ago:
Unfortunately you could slap Elon personally with this fine daily and he would be able to pay it off every day for more than 500 years.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 1 week ago:
Damn I should use signal
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 2 weeks ago:
Had Jellyseer break on me again on True as scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don’t need it and deleted the image.
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 3 weeks ago:
Not sure where you’re from, but that website link is Australian and $150 AUD is about $94 USD at the moment.
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 3 weeks ago:
Legend. Actually, I saw a comment further up the thread after writing mine. I installed the beta straight away, works great!
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
That was the case for me when I got my PS5, I had to manually set the PS5 to being the primary, even though I didn’t even own the PS4 any more.
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 3 weeks ago:
Revanced, unlock origin solved the ads issues on android and on the browser.
Anyone have a (free) solution for Google tv?
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
PS4 may still be your primary console.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 1 month ago:
You could add them to your steam family to give them access to your library?
Otherwise, seeing as he’s played a lot of console games, maybe an RTS would be a good option? Something where kB+m is a better controller layout.
- Comment on Toem 2 Teaser Trailer - Now in Development 2 months ago:
Same here. I just completed it a couple of nights ago and it was delightful. Vibes.
- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 months ago:
Half Life 2 VR mod after finishing Alyx. Alyx itself was a fantastic VR experience, but the hype is such that I probably don’t need to explain it.
- Comment on We're giving The Rogue Prince of Persia a GLOW-UP! (Update Teaser Trailer) 3 months ago:
I liked the purple prince… Hopefully there are skin options.
- Comment on The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ 3 months ago:
Finally some good news!
- Comment on Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinner - did you enjoy it? 3 months ago:
Incredible game. You should play Papers, Please which is also developed by Lucas Pope. The man is a game design genius.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 4 months ago:
Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn’t imagine Keepass+syncthing.
Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.
- Comment on Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting a AAA RPG With Saber Interactive and Paramount Game Studios - EXCLUSIVE 4 months ago:
Saber interactive at least are an experienced developer with real games under their belt.
- Comment on Shigeru Miyamoto comments on AI, says "Nintendo would rather go in a different direction" 5 months ago:
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 5 months ago:
He’s on the better side of tech reviewers IMO. I think sometimes he’s more focussed on describing what sets a product apart in the market, rather than judging whether that niche is worth filling or not.
Definitely doesn’t feel scammy/overly ad driven.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
I think we’re almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don’t like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.
- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 5 months ago:
The brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.
Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.
Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won’t sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.
- Comment on Who is your favorite video game developer? 5 months ago:
Not the PS1 era? Crash Bandicoot was one of the best games on the system when it came out.
- Comment on Who is your favorite video game developer? 5 months ago:
Absolutely. Stoked that Darren Korb has been with them all this time, his soundtrack on Transistor is his best work IMO.
I don’t think we’ll get it though. Hades 2 is an exception to their NO SEQUELS rule only due to how damn successful Hades was.
- Comment on Who is your favorite video game developer? 5 months ago:
Gen7/8 Bioware. Supergiant, Larian, Valve.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 5 months ago:
Yeah it seems like a podcast saying a number like after talking with a staff member of concord. I would have thought that people below executive/finance suite wouldn’t have that information. Not sure if they talked to someone in there but $400 million is just a bit steep.
Not impossible with tech salaries being what they are, maybe it includes the buyout of the entire studio by Sony in that number though.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 5 months ago:
Certainly a remaster that we needed.
Bloodborne on the other hand runs beautifully at a buttery smooth 15 - 30 fps. No need to remaster that one.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI is out now on Steam and Epic Games Store 5 months ago:
Why do anything other than claim the free games honestly… The Epic launcher needs to improve drastically for it to be viable as a competitor.
- Comment on UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London 5 months ago:
If the AI doesn’t hallucinate incorrect information, I totally agree.
One size fits all classroom learning leaves many students behind, and having a personal AI tutor could really help kids fill in the gaps in their understanding that would otherwise be overlooked.
AI hallucinations is still a very real factor that limits the usefulness of this tech right now though. I magine coming into class and your tutor you had yesterday is confidently telling you the opposite of the fact that it taught you yesterday.
