- Comment on GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorship 5 days ago:
I’m rewatching some Criminal Minds. You’d be surprised/horrified at what some people bust to. The main word of that show is sexual sadism. That said, this one does stand out among the other games lol

That one stood out to me as well.
- Comment on Tetris Elements – one of the strangest Tetrises ever released 1 week ago:
My favorite Tetris is The New Tetris from N64. Built quite an addiction to it in college! It had a feature where if you made a 4x4 block out of pieces you’d create a larger block. If you used all the same piece you’d get a gold block, and if they were different pieces it’d be a silver block. Those blocks, when cleared, would then rack up more points and/or more garbage to send to your opponent, than clearing just the regular lines. Of course, you could be caught trying to build these special blocks by a speedier player and get trapped. It was topped off with the best Tetris soundtrack I have ever heard! Drum & bass the whole time. I still listen to the lowish quality gameripped music files of that game’s soundtrack! Love it!

I think they may just not like the idea of a somewhat intimate garment requiring assistance.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 2 weeks ago:
Like “back in the day” on TV: turning the volume of the ads up to be louder than the program you are watching; bells, horns, alarms; extremely misleading ads (people doing things absolutely stupidly, but suddenly better with product)… Loud and abusive scams is too much of it!

The trick is to use code language, and don’t forget the code. Then you can use digital sources more freely, I feel.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 3 weeks ago:
Movies Anywhere was the whole deal for me. With Microsoft connected, I used MA for its wishlist to indicate when things were on sale. Sometimes MS had a sale when other services did not! But that’s it.

USB… USB not going to work here anymore anyway.
- Comment on The Cause of Grok’s Increasing Antisemitism? Apparently, Two Lines of Code (Update: One of the Lines of Code Was Removed) 4 weeks ago:
“Well substantiated”…from the group involved in destroying records and banning books, in several specific equal rights areas, handling without care minority groups, all the while using their bigotry to guide them. This group?! Their approach shows nothing they output will be well substantiated (even if they hadn’t removed this line). It’s all right wing bias; choose your flavor.

Cold readings, like a psychic, is how I recently heard them referred to as.

Well, they are very successful at canceling things!
- Comment on Attorney General: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 5 weeks ago:
It could be like one of those private sub missions and be over quick!
- Comment on So you want to start playing Castlevania games (a giant primer) 5 weeks ago:
The Sorrows games are so good. One neat thing, too, was that you could pop the GBA game into a DS that had a bottom slot, along with having the DS game in at the same time to unlock a few goodies in the DS game.
These games had you acquiring the souls of defeated enemies to gain their abilities. What this allowed you to do, how it allowed you to traverse the world, was what set the games apart. There have even been modded versions of the games that I’ve seen that add additional difficulty and fun!

That’s a wild story! Sometimes it’s not drugs; just poop.

Please stand up.
- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 1 month ago:
I came across something interesting with a FireTV stick. It’s got Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service on it. It looks like it really wants to push Luna+, a paid subscription tier. However, they also have connections to several other gaming services, which supply games you can play outside of the sub. Most don’t seem to supply many games (EA, Epic, Ubisoft). But GOG on the other hand supports many Luna games! I’m not even sure how many. It’s probably not a ton, but still. My personal collection with GOG is only represented by a fraction that are actually playable on Luna. A bunch of games I’ve gotten free, too, since Prime Gaming has provided them for being an Amazon Prime member, along with helpful community members pointing these things out when they come around! GOG also does a pretty good job of displaying which games have Luna capability on their site. They seem to be leaning in on this.
For shits and giggles, I ran the Steam and Xbox apps also on the FireTV stick. I only gave it a limited run, but it looks like you’ll need to keep your computer running to mirror Steam, while Xbox requires Game Pass to play games, even ones you own! Big thumbs up at least for the ease of Luna!!

Is that what those are? Because all the big name carriers are in the NO column. I don’t have experience with those others in the YES column.
