- Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer. 2 days ago:
You are now a poop sherpa, thank you for your kind service.
- Comment on There's now an AI warning notice browser plugin for itch.io as well as Steam 2 days ago:
Anything the helps me avoid AI slop sounds is welcome.
- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 1 week ago:
Probably Vampire Survivors or Vampire Hunters: Sometimes it’s just nice to play something where you don’t really have to think too hard.
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 1 week ago:
I am a PC gamer and am considering one as long as the price is reasonable.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but you can though. Go spec your own gaming rig if you don’t believe me.
Also, again, there’s pretty much no way it’ll be $1,000.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 2 weeks ago:
Less than $1,000? Yes, definitely. We’ll see what the price actually is, but I doubt it’ll be anywhere near that high. Valve was pretty smart about sourcing their parts for low cost and decent performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were closer to $500 even.
- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 3 weeks ago:
Ah ok, sure, got it, understood, etc.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 3 weeks ago:
At $1,000 that’d be a hard pass for me even though I love Valve.

Hey, those are on my list too!

Damn, I should really go back and play this. Bet it runs great on Steam Deck too!

Fine by me, I still use my Steam Deck all the time and am regularly impressed at what it can run.

- Comment on How to Remove Burn Mark from (acrylic ?) Sink 3 weeks ago:
If it’s acrylic, you can use an acrylic tub/sink repair kit but you need to use the right kind of kit so make sure you know which it is before you try. Based on what it looks like, it appears to be some sort of plastic.
Tap on it: Does it sound ceramic? Plastic? Metal maybe? Do magnets stick? If so, it’s probably some sort of enamel over steel.
- Comment on How to Remove Burn Mark from (acrylic ?) Sink 4 weeks ago:
First you need to determine what the sink is actually made out of.

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 weeks ago:
Yep, on phones and other mobile devices, lower resolutions help with battery life and much better framerates. My favorite phone was probably the Xperia Z3 Compact, which only had a 720p display but ran for days in a compact form factor. Tiny super high resolution displays are pretty much pointless unless you’re using a VR headset (then the resolution matters more).
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 weeks ago:
Well, the thing is the 1080 on the 4k projector still looks a little better than it does on a native 1080 because it upscales with pixel shifting. It doesn’t look as sharp as 4k, but still a bit better than 1080 (at least from ~10’ at 120").
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 weeks ago:
Pixel shifting is for when it upscales, isn’t it? If you have a 4k source, you’ll get a 4k picture.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 weeks ago:
I get what you are saying, however at 120", less than 20 feet away, you can literally see the individual pixels (especially at 1080). It absolutely does make a difference under the right circumstances, that is empirically true. You can test it yourself if you are skeptical but I’m telling you for a fact that on resolution alone there is a noticeable difference for anyone who has 20/20 vision.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 weeks ago:
This is highly dependent on screen size and viewing distance.
On a computer screen or a phone screen? No, it’s not really noticeable.
On a 120"+ projector screen? Yes, it is definitely noticeable.

It would also slow if companies were told insane lies about the capability of AI (“it’s living having a team of PHD level experts at your disposal!”) and then companies realized that many of these promises were total bullshit.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with all the contaminants in our bodies, right? Also, the heat literally makes us dumber so look forward to some even more aggressive stupidity in the future!

Germany seems to be speed-running becoming another shit-hole country.
- Comment on Is it okay to eat after brushing in the night 3 months ago:
Ideally, don’t eat after you brush your teeth/floss.
Realistically, it’s not going to kill you or anything but if you do it a lot, you will be more likely to end up with cavities.
