- Comment on Bioshock creator Ken Levine discusses the future of narratives in games 3 days ago:
Brackets in a quote denote a change to what was actually said. In a perfect world, with quality journalism, they’re used to summarize or make the quote flow better in the piece without changing the intent or meaning of the quote
In this case, they very well could’ve changed “won’t be” to “will be”
I don’t expect that to be the case here, but it’s possible.
Also, using an ellipsis inside brackets like this: “[…]” Is an intentional omission by the author of the piece.

Lmao so
It’s a book series, their username is the name of the main antagonist of sorts…
Book 5, Wind and Truth, releases tomorrow, and this is akin to Infinity War/Endgame levels of “it’s all coming together”.
We’re all super excited haha

Bridge Four!
I hope your namesake gets what’s coming to him. The previews were an absolute wild ride.

Is your name a reference to Stormlight Archive’s Odium? If so, happy release day eve!

I picked up Nine Sols on the steam sale, so far it’s solid

Tossed $6 your way on Buy Me A Coffee yesterday!
Excited to get into the beta
- Comment on Interesting to see how dead the MMO genre has become. Are there still players around? 4 months ago:
Old School RuneScape is alive and well, we got a new boss yesterday, and we’ve been getting drip-fed content all year this year.
- Comment on Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool 4 months ago:
“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”
Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.
I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 7 months ago:
Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.
That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.
Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.
- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 7 months ago:
Supergiant has the level of respect from me that early Blizzard had.
They have done nothing but release complete, solid games throughout their history. Everything in their library is at least an 8/10 and worth the money imo.
I have no reason to believe Hades 2 will be any different based on the tech test and the couple hours I played today.

- Comment on What are your homelab stats? 1 year ago:
I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:
One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)
One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.
VMs:
- Plex
- 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
- Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
- anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.
Network:
- Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
- Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
- single Unifi AP.
All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price “it was going into the trash anyway”
- Comment on The Unity Games That Could be Impacted Most by Controversial Fees, From Silksong to Cult of the Lamb - IGN 1 year ago:
Which means he sold at the top, then bought more at the bottom so he can ride the train back up to do the same thing again.
This isn’t a good thing.
