• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is GOG not as succesful as a Gaming Alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  GOG also has a partnership with Amazon Luna. You can play some games you own on their service (like through a fire tv stick). It’s a smaller library than what all is available on GOG. And it requires an Amazon Prime subscription. (I know some people don’t like Amazon, and for good reasons. Still thought I’d mention.)

  It’s not for them, it’s for you and I to make better decisions. Seems there are more dum dums though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The news is sugarcoating how revolting the Epstein files are⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same for those referring to the Kennedy Center using Trump’s illegal name change as well. USA Today is doing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tetris Variations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The New Tetris (N64). For the 4x4 block making, and the awesome drum & bass soundtrack!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be nice if players caught on and ditched every avenue of playing unfinished games. Redemption arcs are pathetic. Again players let these companies off the hook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s new is that the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them — all of them part of a supposed left-wing conspiracy to violently oppose the president’s agenda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just created a Restart Explorer shortcut and placed it on my desktop, that opens and closes a cmd window in the process, for these very purposes! I was proud to be able to create that shortcut but that’s about it. I’m not very technologically inclined either. Just somewhat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It may not be helpful enough and getting on in age (maybe others know of something similar), but there is a mod called OldNewExplorer that you can run and choose to modify a few elements of Explorer. I’ve used it to change the details pane from the side back to the bottom of the window.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Albert Einstein wrote about Socialism, and specifically calls out issues with the version proposed by technocrats.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stood out to me for that reason, as well. Several other passages in there are like that, too, but that would have been too much to share. However, I did not read in its entirety. Sad that we cannot break out of our limitations, from what little I understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Albert Einstein wrote about Socialism, and specifically calls out issues with the version proposed by technocrats.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

  A shame because it was nice when Chinatown Wars came around some years down the road. A nice trip back to 2D, with some modernization.
