- Comment on Devs of chill arcade freeriding game SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding use the Steam Deck as their performance target 2 days ago:
The steam deck makes an awesome platform target for PC game devs. You know what to expect and what your best “minimum” experience should be.
- Comment on PS5 Pro is struggling to improve some games, despite its power advantage 2 days ago:
Silent Hill 2 is a strange beast, you can tell it runs horribly. I’m sure a cracker or something is figuring it out.
Don’t buy the Ps5 pro though, there’s no point.
- Comment on [Crowbcat] Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: Demake till you drop 2 weeks ago:
This dude used to point out legit game quality issues, but I’m not sold on “the game isn’t horny anymore”. I dont really give a shit about that.
That and the RE4 remaster was genuinely good. Starting to feel like an edge lord.

And Apple will finally sell the iPhone starting with 256GB
- Comment on Over 170,000 EV chargers in limbo as Enel X Way exits North America 1 month ago:
Yet another example of companies making irresponsible anti consumer choices. You should have to pay the piper if you want to start dancing to this tune. That or you should be forced to open source your proprietary works.

When is it ever enough?
- Comment on The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that? 1 month ago:
That’s the right mindset.
For those reading, don’t let them fool you about down selling your worth. If you’ve got the skills they want, and you show that, they’ll pay you. Job history conversations are just a way to try and leverage lower pay or benefits on you.
- Comment on The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that? 1 month ago:
There’s not enough context here to have a strong opinion, but I’ll add that personally, nothing has given me a bigger raise than getting a job at another company.
- Comment on Software fixes now account for over 20% of car recalls 1 month ago:
I swear these assholes went buck wild with the software in vehicles with almost no guardrails.
I don’t know for sure what the case is, but if we don’t have standards in place for upgrades and software support of vehicles as they age, issues like planned obselescence and coerced subscriptions are going to run rampant.

Back to square one! Yay!
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
The fact that people pay hundreds of dollars for this OS to get advertised to is insulting. Same energy as these smart TVs that feel like they have the right to show you ads.
If I’m dictator, I’m making this shit illegal, full stop.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.
- Comment on ‘Sinkclose’ Flaw in Hundreds of Millions of AMD Chips Allows Deep, Virtually Unfixable Infections 3 months ago:
I loathe what part of the security community has become with the stunt hacking and vuln naming. That being said, I doubt it’s some conspiracy. I don’t know all the details but it wouldn’t be exceptional to identify a bug that has existed in processor firmware or legacy code for a long time.
People are looking at this stuff all the time, both professionally and for fun. You could make the case that it’s inevitable that there will be exploits found that affect a huge population.
In the end, as long as the layman gets smarter about computer security, the better people will react to vuln drops.

This is just like that China social credit system
- Comment on South Korean politician links rising male suicides to women 4 months ago:
I wish it were more surprising how much of the world still treats women like second class citizens at best.
- Comment on Remember when planes and hospitals had smoking sections? (Probably a lot of you do not). 4 months ago:
I think the world is better off with the decline of tobacco but I used to spend time in East Germany and they used to have cigarette machines right on the street. My Oma would send me down with 5 marks to pick her up a pack.

- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 4 months ago:
A lot of people would be surprised by the kind of half-wits these giant companies install near the top of their orgs.
This dude probably hasn’t read a single license agreement in his life, and they probably got where they are by being in the right place in the right time. Instincts haven’t done them wrong yet so why stop now?

- Comment on Don’t expect Fallout 1 and 2 remakes from Bethesda any time soon - Todd wouldn’t want to “paste over” their charm 5 months ago:
Uh im not trying to argue, I was just contributing to the community. Try to assume best intent sometimes bud, might lower your blood pressure.
I’m not on the remake design team, but I did give an example of what I think is good about a remake, in case you didn’t get to 4th grade reading.
- Comment on Don’t expect Fallout 1 and 2 remakes from Bethesda any time soon - Todd wouldn’t want to “paste over” their charm 5 months ago:
I don’t give a shit about having a remake but it’s not always about just mind blowing graphics. It can be about accessibility, quality of life changes, adjustments and new content.
The diablo 2 remake is cool because it was getting more and more difficult to run the original on new hardware. They even added new rune words and sets I think, which is nice.

I heard about this thing but couldn’t really tell what the idea was. I think I want to carry less, not more on me.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
Haha right? Remember the Equifax breach? I think the security claim isn’t genuine in intent, but I can believe that all else being equal, privacy violation does result in risk to security.
Even more reason to solve the underlying issues and hold companies accountable for how they handle privacy and personal information. Ideally I’d like to see the hoarding of personal data be somehow demonitized.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 6 months ago:
No candy crush for this guy!
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
This is the wrong way to go about solving this problem IMO, but then again the problem they’re trying to solve is more about security than privacy as a right.
- Comment on Ubuntu 24.04 Boosts Performance, Outperforming Windows 11 On The AMD Ryzen Framework 16 Laptop 6 months ago:
I mean, I’m all for mainstream Linux adoption but I don’t see how this is a useful measurement or comparison.
