He got deadlock pretty right as well, I believe.

Interesting. I wonder how long it takes until most bots adapt to this type of “reverse DoS”.
- Comment on Council votes again to dump public EV fast charging station after TV news report 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s really confusingly worded
Last week the Livingstone Shire council voted to cancel a deal to install the Capricorn Coast’s first EV charger, and a followup meeting held on Thursday to reverse the decision initially failed to win over the required number of four councillors.
But a surprise second motion from the mayor reversing last week’s decision while also asking state and national local government associations to investigate renewables, got up.
- Comment on Council votes again to dump public EV fast charging station after TV news report 2 weeks ago:
The article and title have been updated.
Council votes again to dump public EV fast charging station – then changes its mind
I think it’s saying that they’ll go ahead with the chargers now. In having trouble parsing the edits to be honest
- Comment on Tempest Rising accidentally launched a week early on Steam, and the publisher has decided to just go with it 3 weeks ago:
There are a few reviews talking about data harvesting clauses in the EULA. I haven’t looked into it but might be worth double checking if that concerns you.
- Comment on The latest viral ChatGPT trend is doing ‘reverse location search’ from photos 3 weeks ago:
This isn’t stupid. To me, this is yet another potential tool to erode privacy.
Even if it’s right only half of the time, that might be enough to reasonably guess your location based on image uploads, particularly if you have uploaded more than one image, or a video.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah you definitely need it for the movement to flow. I’ve seen a lot of comments lamenting that they took too long to introduce it.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 5 weeks ago:
The movement in Sunset Overdrive is amazing and I think was the base for the movement in Spiderman since it’s made by the same developer. I preferred the movement in Sunset Overdrive, personally.
The humour is a bit divisive/hit or miss though and the open world is a little dead by today’s standards.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 1 month ago:
It is such a beautiful game. One of my top gaming experiences.
The environments, the pacing, the story telling, the interactivity - just excellent.
If you are interested in playing it and you don’t have a PC with a 1060 or better; or can’t afford PSVR2 or Quest 3s, then consider giving it a go at a VR game cafe.
- Comment on Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices 2 months ago:
I’m so confused. They were replying to you when you said it was “heartbleed level”, right?
- Comment on Recommend me a steam deck game 2 months ago:
I would like to second Prey. It is very cheap during a sale.
It’s currently on sale on epic store if you don’t mind that/already have heroic launcher or similar on the steam deck.
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater teases new announcement with countdown 2 months ago:
The remaster of those is already out and IMHO it’s very good.
- Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? 4 months ago:
I wonder if Epic and Gog would generate a ground-swell of support if they simultaneously announced official support for Heroic. Or even official cross-launcher support though I think Heroic would be a better long term bet.

Unfortunately I have to second this
- Comment on 'They Know Who You Are': Harvard Students Use Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses To Pull Up Your Identity In Real-time 6 months ago:
In my opinion, it’s about both the databases and the hardware. Specifically if/when always-on cameras become socially acceptable to wear in public, then facial databases can be utilised.
Presently, I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to always be pointing a phone’s camera at someone.
