- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
Every single game that’s hard, gets the same “it’s so hard” complaint. Well of course it is, isn’t that one of the appeals of the game? Reminds me Sekiro when it got out.
Anyway, we both got our own opinions and that’s that. Lets agree to disagree, I suppose.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
That’s alright too but every time there’s a hard game, it’s always the same old complaining. It’s tiresome.
Hollow Knight, the first game was hard too with some bosses.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
People have nothing better to do than complain, I suppose. Don’t like the game? Don’t play it. The game is good, imo.

Yeah, I bought it the day after its release (today September 5th). Played about 1,5H (so glad I “work” from home).

Thanks, going to try out LibreOffice. Does it has same (or similar) functions as Word itself?
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
Thanks, I’ll look into Markdown!
Or is it about saving notes to cloud?
No, that’s not it. I just want a Word-alike thing that allows me to put a password on it and use it as a ‘modern diary’ (like how you can make chapters and such in Word).
Not sure if I explained it well, English isn’t my native language. So wasn’t sure how to explain it
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
I have a Word document saved into my ‘personal account vault’ which is for personal thoughts (like a diary). Does this mean, they’ll automatically upload this too into their cloud?
If that’s the case, not sure what to do. Tempted to go back to old school diary but risk the chance of my family finding it.

Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US 1 month ago:
Truly depends on the game.
Well my main usage for the Deck would be games like; Almost all Switch popular Switch 1 games (except Zelda), Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, Metaphor and Expedition 33 as well as the Ori games.
But yeah, there are quite a few AAA/higher graphical fidelity games I just won’t bother, even if it’s technically playable at a "smooth’ 30FPS. Like Kingdom Come 2 ran pretty decently on it, surprisingly, but damn did it really make the game look pretty rough.
I saw videos on YT that Metaphor runs on 30-40FPS in cities, 60FPS in battles and that with emulation it’s a bit hit-or-miss. Someone told me, I’m asking to much of a handheld device but considering that the Deck is €700 which is a kind of a normal budget PC.
This might be a personal thing but 30FPS is going to bother me to no-end. I’m probably just spoiled with the at least permanent 60FPS and very often 144FPS.
But, honestly, I still use my Deck a shit ton, especially at work. It’s hands down the best portable emulator machine and there are tons of indie games that run great on it. It also works great as a small laptop in desktop mode. I use it almost daily at work.
Great to hear! Did not expect the Deck being able to work as a small laptop, hah. Though, my main usage would be gaming at home (for example; in bed, on the couch or outside in the yard). Kind of want a handheld because after 5 days of office work, it’s nice to game somewhere else than in front of the PC.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US 1 month ago:
I have a PS5. I don’t intend to ever buy a console again. That era is dead.
Similar situation here. Bought the PS5 and probably used it for a year or so and now it’s collect dust. Literally. Kind of regretting getting one. I only game on PC nowadays.
I was thinking to get a Switch 2 but then all the chaos hit with the emulation takedowns, Nintendo suing Palworld, Prices of Nintendo games, prices of their accessories and the whole game key card stuff. Just to much negativity.
Still thinking about Steam Deck but it’s 3 years in its life. So not sure whether that’s worth the €700 euro. Have heard it struggles with the current games.

That’s all? That’s why they’re upset? Sigh, it’s as if someone accidentally farts and then they rage.
Isn’t he kinda right though? If I remember well, Superman came from another planet.

I’m curious how this movie is, I’m used to the older ones and a show called Smallvile.
I did not know there was some anger about this Superman movie. Anyone could quick give me a small summary?
Though bit bummed out that they keep remaking movies and shows instead of making new ones.

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 Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data shows 2 months ago:
So, I looked it up and figured out it was like that previously. They changed their policy now.
However, if you delete your Instagram account, it will also delete your Threads account because apparently Instagram is directly linked to the Threads account.
How would they even have that ability?
So this answer your question; I assume it’s due to the linking of the account (Instagram and Threads account)

How’s Threads anyway? Once I heard they don’t allow you to simply delete your account, I noped out of it.
Not sure if it is true but apparently if you want to delete your account, it’ll also delete your Instagram account?
- Comment on people prefer me as a person not on ADHD medication, but prefer my work style on meds 2 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 life with or without it. 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.
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 2 months ago:
Of course men will go to an AI for their problems, they can’t fathom going to a woman for honest advice.
This seems a bit far-fetched, don’t you think? There could be so many reasons as to why someone would rather use AI than going to another person for advice (this is not just about women).
Honestly, as someone who actually went to therapy and yes, my therapist was a woman. It’s was quite tough to open up and be vulnerable.
I think for some people using AI, they might feel as if they’re not that vulnerable because it is not a person. However, they don’t realize that there’s data is being gathered.
And as a result, they gaslight themselves with a worse version of ELIZA.
With this, I can’t figure out whether you’re serious, trolling or just writing randomly.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 2 months ago:
I know your comment is ~1 month old but - I’m actually surprised you got downvoted for this comment, because you are right. Steam Deck got released around 2022-2023 and from research, it struggles a bit to play newer games well.
I have been debating to get a Steam Deck OLED but that’s one of the reasons why, I’m uncertain to purchase one (and hoping for Steam Deck 2). Steam Deck is great for indie-games and emulation though. Was also eyeing the Switch 2 but the prices are ridiculous and thus will wait until price drops or until it’s hackable.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 2 months ago:
Tech people here not sure why you think we care more than others. I want to play new Nintendo games and I can afford it. That’s really all it’s about.
You might not care but tech people do care. Much more than non-tech people.
A statement can be true even when it does not apply to you.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 2 months ago:
Non-tech people usually don’t care about the ToS and the dirty practices a company does. They’ll gladly pay for the ‘convenience’.
Most Nintendo fans even argued that prices, new ToS (bricking the device) and such were “justifiable”. Same thing about owning games, most argued that “in today’s era you barely own anything anyway”.
It’s very unfortunate and sad to see but it is reality.
Personally though, I’ll wait for either a working emulation or when there’s an actual exploit found to hack the Switch 2.

- Comment on Microsoft blocks emails that contain ‘Palestine’ after employee protests 3 months ago:
what has gaza to do in the workplace emails? nothing. same with israel.
Everything when the company you work for is implicit in genocide of Palestinian people.
you work and then go home where you can write what you want to who you want.
Yeah, some people do who give no care about the company they work for is complicit in genocide. However, some humans still have humanity within them. They do care. They’ll protest.

It’s insane how all the corporate companies are just allying and okay with genocide, apartheid, racism, hatred and everything related to it. Not surprising but it’s insane.
