- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 3 days ago:
I just finished watching the documentary this afternoon. I already own the game since it released but this is all a great excuse to okay through it again.
- Comment on Classic shooters Unreal and Unreal Tournament are now free and preserved on the Internet Archive 1 week ago:
Yes, I bought all of the Unreal games. However a lot of people got them bundled with new graphics cards also.

Came to say the same.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
That’s the one!
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
For a while, there was a patent on it, at least in he US. I remember having to root a Sony phone to enable the fingerprint reader on the power button about 10 years ago.
- Comment on The iPhone 16, new AirPods and other highlights from Apple's product showcase 2 months ago:
I only have marques brown’s comment to back this up, but he said the two stage camera button doesn’t do anything yet but it’s coming in a future update. I’m baffled how Apple feels okay releasing this new hardware without the software to support it.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company 3 months ago:
Two years on Lemmy and 2/3 of this guy’s “hot takes” are that people suck.
If you don’t have anything constructive to add to the conversation then maybe consider just keeping those thoughts to yourself.

PoE is amazing for certain devices. Cameras (including video doorbells), and WiFi equipment.

Jebus! I scrolled past this post two days in a row. But today I thought, my morning could use the relaxing mood of some classic Ghibli.
Fuck you.

Anyone have more pictograms (is that the right word?) for other animes?
- Comment on Sea of Stars is adding co-op multiplayer to the dazzling Chrono Trigger-inspired RPG 8 months ago:
This just went from an “interested in” title to “patch day purchase”.
The more co-op games to play with the family, the better.
- Comment on Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files? 10 months ago:
Truth. That OA cancellation still hurts though.
- Comment on Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files? 10 months ago:
I watched Fringe when it came out and loved it but for whatever reason never saw the final season. Last year I finally went back and finished it. I will concede the ending was a bit rushed but also I’m grateful it did get an ending. A lot of great shows get axed and don’t get to wrap up anything. So while not perfect, I’m going to say it was decent enough and does wrap everything up.
It’s a great ride along the way too.
- Comment on Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files? 10 months ago:
Updoots for Fringe. Season 1 is very monster of the week but it’s laying groundwork for everything that’s coming. It’s a fun ride all the way through and it got a decent conclusion. Watch it if you haven’t already.

He does? At least in America, I feel like “ho ho ho” is the traditional number of hoes.
- Comment on Thomas 🔭✨ (@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io) 23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome 11 months ago:
I thought the same thing when my Disney+ rate went up a couple months ago and I couldn’t find the email warning about it in my inbox or spam folders.
Why do we let these companies get away with everything? If the rates are going up, show me in the app/ui. Make it opt in. Disable my ability to watch anything until I approve the increase in spend. It should be illegal to just change the terms of a contract and say “I sent you an email.”
- Comment on Professor Layton and the New World of Steam Trailer 11 months ago:
It sure does but the odds of me using it are almost zero since I keep it docked and play on a big TV. Maybe Professor Layton will get me to pull it out but I imagine the puzzles will still be designed around the fact that a lot of people will not be using the touch screen. It’s going to affect the types of puzzles seen.
- Comment on Professor Layton and the New World of Steam Trailer 11 months ago:
It’s going to be a little weird not playing on a touch screen but I’m ready for more layton adventures.
- Comment on This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special 11 months ago:
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
While it is the second Indiana Jones film, it is a prequel and thus set chronologically before the events of the original “Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

Going to need the band of that novel/series please and thank you.

- Comment on Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It 1 year ago:
I’m pretty sure that’s how Hulu started. A joint venture through several companies to stream all their shows. Problem is once Disney got in everyone else tried to spin up their own and cash out of Hulu.
It’ll be investing to see what alternatives crop up one piracy makes it’s comeback.
- Comment on Max users grandfathered into $15.99 ad-free plan lose 4K, HDR next month 1 year ago:
My Disney price went up and I didn’t get the email warning. No message or warning in app. After having their support tell me “too bad” I just cancelled it and Hulu.
- Comment on [TECHCRUNCH] Amazon begins testing Agility’s Digit robot for warehouse work 1 year ago:
In a controlled for environment like a warehouse, why bother with the added complexity of bipeds vs 3 wheels. You just need a robot that can roll, raise up, and hands that can manipulate various types of stock.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Sales Breakdown - with PC making up a whopping 68% of units sold 1 year ago:
The only thing shocking about this graph to me is how few copies were purchased on GOG. I guess I’m in the minority of people who prefer to support their store directly as competition to Steam .
- Comment on FCC details plan to restore the net neutrality rules repealed by Ajit Pai 1 year ago:
Anna Gomez is the second nominee. The first nominee got tired of waiting for confirmation.
- Comment on FCC details plan to restore the net neutrality rules repealed by Ajit Pai 1 year ago:
No. The Republicans have stalled confirming a replacement until just now. Up until now the committee has been dead locked with 2 Democrats and two Republicans.
- Comment on Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College 1 year ago:
Should senators not be elected by the popular vote of each state? Should states develop their own state electoral colleges that give votes based on the proportional population of each county?

While you can disable moist emergency alerts, I don’t believe you can disable the national level alerts.
