- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 months ago:
Question; is it nowadays cheaper to just get a good gaming PC for long-term? (Including when someone does piracy related stuff).
Nowadays, I can’t recommend any console except the Steam Deck (OLED). I do always say “just get a good Gaming PC and for handheld the Steam Deck”.
- Comment on iPhone New iOS Age Verification Sparks Outrage as Users Say 'I Will Switch to Android' 2 months ago:
Jeez, every platform and company is going to that ID and face recognition crap. Should we say goodbye to our little bit of privacy and anonymity on the Internet?
Why’s Apple even doing this? They’re not a social media platform to begin with.
- Comment on YSK: Denazification in West Germany was lenient and ultimately abandoned, with many Nazis remaining in positions of power. 2 months ago:
Honestly; I’m curious how does one de-program another person. How do you denazification, defascism etc.
When I look at the world right now, it feels as if these things never left. Nazis stayed Nazis, fascism stayed with fascistic people.
All the while capitalism uses it to gain more money and wealth while looking at the world and not giving a care.
- Comment on Ubisoft Finally Confirms Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the Remake We All Knew Was Coming 2 months ago:
And then… it gets cancelled just like Prince of Persia remake.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 2 months ago:
It should’ve been banned long ago. It’s insanity that, it is not banned yet. There’s so much illegal content through Grok and so many hatred on X.
- Comment on Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ 2 months ago:
I hope that the people who work at Burger King are able to quickly find new jobs. Better jobs.
- Comment on Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich 3 months ago:
Personally, I don’t feel comfortable giving my ID to social media. Especially not with the many data breaches that are happening these days. I think it was a month or three ago that Discord had their data breach and got thousands of ID’s stolen of people.
Yet Discord still decides to push forward their “verification system with ID or face scan”.
Also here’s a screenshot of a comment someone once made and that also got me thinking about the future of “showing your ID and/ or Face scan to ‘protect the kids’”. Another tone; people and especially teenagers will nearly always find ways to get around rules. I mean, we all were teenagers before and we often also got around the rules.
- Comment on Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. 3 months ago:
I’m fine with not having an algorithm
Then why even mentioning it (in a more negative than neutral tone)?
I just don’t feel the need to see some ladies twat unless I’m looking for that content specifically. I’m not saying the platform is bad, just it needs some work still.
Whether you use the platform or not, does not really matter (to me). You are right the platform needs some work and they’re putting the work while being one of social media platform that’s being targeted by Zionists.
I have written what, I wanted to write. I have shown the text and image the developer wrote. That’s about it. I’ll leave it at that, I guess.

I don’t know what upscrolled is, but if it’s not federated then who cares?
You care enough to write about the specific app that, you don’t know about.
Your account is 4 days old, that says enough. I won’t respond to you after this comment.
- Comment on Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. 3 months ago:
That mixed with not having an algorithm
Is not that a part of the advantage? You, the person; deciding what you want to see and follow. I think Mastodon and BlueSky are similar in that regard.
I’ve seen a lot of sexual stuff I was not looking for.
Follow the developer of the app and you’ll understand why;
- Comment on Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. 3 months ago:
I have been on UpScrolled for about 23-25 days and have not seen any Nazi stuff. However, I keep my feed and the people I follow mainly about Anime and Palestine.
If there’s indeed Nazi stuff on it, I hope the developer removes it. Zionism and Nazi are both insanely shit ideologies that should have never come to existence.
- Comment on Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. 3 months ago:
UpScrolled already having questionable ethics
Which questionable ethics? I’m out of the loop.
- Comment on If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin. 3 months ago:
any word can sound like an insult if you say it with the right tone, I think?
Oh, definitely! I’m half European and half Arabian and living in Europe. Back in my teenage days, when having a huge conflict at school. I would shout “ibn” which just means “son”. Shout it in the right tone when angry and people will think it is some huge insult.
- Comment on Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model 3 months ago:
Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.
- Comment on TikTok's 'Addictive Design' Found to Be Illegal in Europe 3 months ago:
Illegal, certainly. Are they going to do something about it, definitely not.
- Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change 4 months ago:
I have joined yesterday and so far, no Nazi problem on my feed. However, it is mostly regarding politics.
I keep my feed focused on anime as far as that’s possible.
- Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change 4 months ago:
Which domain? I have not linked anything. UpScrolled is an app that’s available to download on both IOS and Android devices though, they don’t have a website yet.
- Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change 4 months ago:
Apparently some people are going over to UpScrolled. It is an Palestinian-made app similar to TikTok/ Instagram.
I have tried UpScrolled but it is still barebones but seems interesting (imo).
- Comment on Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star 4 months ago:
I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).
The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Looks cool but only going to play it when, it is 🏴☠️. I refuse to pay so much and then to be forced to get th DLCs for even more money. If it won’t be 🏴☠️ then I simply will not play the game.
- Comment on As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 4 months ago:
Not sure how to feel about all of this. I loved the first Division game, the winter atmosphere and snow was amazing.
But then Division 2 happened and the charm just fell off for me. Not to mention the continued crashing issues on PC are horrendous. Regret purchasing the Division 2 on PC.
Now hearing they are developing Divison making me hope for another winter style Division but worried about the crash issues on PC and them not even fixing the crash issues in the first place.
Now them announcing layoffs isn’t another good development.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 months ago:
Ain’t got those amazing Nintendo games though. Glhf finding a Mario Cart replacement that is actually as good.
This is not entirely true. Depending on the stance of the person regarding piracy. You can definitely play Mario Kart on the Steam Deck. Emulations for PS1 PS2, Switch 1 exist (there are more but these I know on the top of my head).
The Steam Deck can play nearly all Switch 1 titles through emulation. Yes, developers were taken down but the emulators do still work perfectly fine (I’m saying this as Steam Deck owner and using Emulators myself).
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 4 months ago:
Isn’t this already done with Mario game(s)? I think it was Super Mario Deluxe, where if you die enough times, Luigi shows up and will be doing the entire level for you including the ‘boss’ fight.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 5 months ago:
Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Bit busy so can’t make a long comment. Just wanted to say, welcome to the ‘dark’ side. I highly recommend to check the instance in on for everything you need (Megathread). It tells you where to look, which safety measures to take etc.
I wanted to purchase Metaphor Refantzio because the game seems good and then figured out they blatantly said “you don’t own Metaphor even if you purchase it”. Thus decided to pirate it (it isn’t cracked but it is playable).

Dutch is my native language so not sure how close that is to Japanese, ha. But I understand what you mean.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
May I ask which language you’re learning? I’m curious about Japanese and Arabic (Egyptian Dialect). But both seem really tough to learn.
- Comment on people prefer me as a person not on ADHD medication, but prefer my work style on meds 11 months ago:
I can’t really write a lot because, I don’t have much knowledge in this matter. However, what do you prefer?
It’s your life, you’re the one taking the medication. You are the one that has to live* with or without it the medication. Do what is best for you.
‘Friends’ that don’t stick around at hard times are not really friends (imo). They just want the fun part and then ditch when it’s tough.

Men('s restrooms are) always (on the) right.
Then why is the men’s restroom at my work on the left?

I’m planning to watch this one, got told it’s quite good.
