- Comment on New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode' 2 months ago:
100 player survival mode could be fun. It worked for Tetris and Mario, and I can imagine something similar would work for Crazy Taxi.
As long they manage to maintain a steady player base and stay away from predatory monetary practices - which probably is just wishful thinking.

Could be like Mario 35, which was pretty fun
- Comment on San Andreas ROM for PS2 has been taken down by Rockstar on Vimm's Lair 2 months ago:
Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.

- Comment on How Quora Died 3 months ago:
That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account
- Comment on How Quora Died 3 months ago:
For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.
Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not 3 months ago:
Quick! Hide it before some LinkedIn lunatic use it as some inspirational post about how AR tech will revolutionize our lives.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not 3 months ago:
I think the biggest difference compared to all previous endeavors is that VR/AR devices are still this thing that collects dust in the corner even among the biggest enthusiasts.
Most people had some form of portable music player (like Walkman) long before iPod was a thing.
Every household had been equipped with phones long before Apple made iPhone. Cellphones were also a huge deal before iPhone.
Watches are old as time (pun intended). Fitness trackers was also a big thing before Apple Watch.
VR/AR? Most people don’t really care - despite multiple efforts from all the biggest tech companies. Is a more premium Oculus from Apple the solution? I guess time will tell, but I have doubts.

It’s probably just some basic script triggering on words like “died”, “lost” and “nothing”.
- Comment on The library of Anonymous' hacked/leaked datasets is in danger of being closed 3 months ago:
The Bush administration is not the same as the Trump administration. When people voted for Trump they didn’t vote for the Republican Party. They voted for Trump.
Trump was for example incredibly vocal about reducing the support to NATO. Of course the Russians would do anything to make those ideas happen.
