- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 4 days ago:
The gameplay looks fine. It looks like a Doom game. But I won’t buy a game with DRM, so I won’t be buying it until that gets removed (at earliest).

Whoops! Didn’t notice that typo. I wouldn’t even dream of subjecting my steam deck to the same 900 mods as my PC.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I modded Cyberpunk 2078 and jumped straight to the NNM app, no issues. Running quite a few mods.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 4 weeks ago:
Is there another meaning to “PSA” that isn’t “public service announcement”? It confuses me being in the title as this entire post is written as a suggestion / CTA, not a PSA.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 5 weeks ago:
Every time I recall those episodes, and the pain, it gets easier to do, emotionally.
And theoretically I could just get it operated on - there have been improvements in the field. But the prospect of going under the knife is scary, especially in an area where one fuckup or miscalculation could lead to partial paralysis for life. Throw in a mix of abusive American healthcare and… Weekly therapy is more preferable.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 5 weeks ago:
No. I’ve considered it though, but I’m a tad worried it won’t make a difference considering the options I’ve seen probably don’t result in 200lbs of force being applied.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 5 weeks ago:
In my spine my L5-S1 and L4-L5 are herniated (as of 2017, haven’t checked if any more are). Full on herniated, not bulging. It started when I was 20, and my doctor said surgery should be avoided since it could impact my quality of life significantly at my age (not that my QoL wasn’t already severely impacted). Epidurals and physical therapy didn’t help.
Back then it wasn’t miserable 24/7 but it had it’s moments. Eventually I had an “episode” where I was bedridden in immense amounts of pain for a solid week. During that desperation I found the IDD option and started that. It was rough back then at the start. But within weeks the constant pain died down and I recovered mobility as well as my sciatica improved.
Through… Losing a job I discovered the effects wear off after 2ish months and I start being susceptible to the episodes and random function loss again, so now I just go weekly to keep things peachy. It isn’t full recovery obviously, I still wind up in pain if I do too much with my back, even stuff as little as bending over slightly to do the dishes (because I’m tall), but it beats being disabled in constant pain… Those few episodes I’ve had haunt me. Being so helpless I couldn’t even.

I undergo weekly spinal decompression therapy. While not exactly the same as the medieval torture devices, being strapped in and having my spine pulled from both directions with 200lbs of force is pretty close.
And yes, it feels amazing for a second or two.
- Comment on Hamster 1 month ago:
Considering the little girl brought it in, it’s definitely more plausible she wouldn’t notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.
But I’d also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it’s cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.
- Comment on Is there a way to redirect voice traffic from WhatsApp and Signal to a landline? 1 month ago:
If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.
- Comment on Pixelfed fundraised $134,139 for development 1 month ago:
The fundraising was for the development of Pixelfed’s source code. e.g. adding new features, bug fixing, etc. - not for currently hosted servers and their infrastructure. So it went to @dansup.
- Comment on How do people even function on a 9:00 to 5? 2 months ago:
It really depends on the job. My 9-5 is hybrid, so 3 days in a week minimum, others can be remote. We have core hours, 10-4, where I should be available. So I can WFH and have something for 4PM, get back, and wrap up my last hour. But my boss is also very understanding, and if I need to be unavailable within core hours, he won’t force me to take PTO if I make up those hours.

I mean it sounds like a removable mesh pool fence is what you need. The holes might be permanent, but properly installed inserts would make them less conspicuous.
- Comment on What Exactly is the Issue with my Bambu P1S...? It Both Under and Overextrudes in Batched areas and sometimes leaves what looks like Overheated Ripples? 2 months ago:
My first impression from the adhesion issue (which doesn’t appear to be the main issue of this post) is that you may need to clean your build plate. But considering it was relatively good as it is, I assume you did and the few spots may just be accidental touches to the surface. In either case, their guide is here: wiki.bambulab.com/en/…/pei-plate-clean-guide
As for the extrusion issue - considering the apparent randomness of it my guess would be either an issue with the filament or a partial clog.
- Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off? 3 months ago:
Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.
- Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off? 3 months ago:
Sleep debt itself is a weird metric. You can’t “pay it back”, lost sleep is lost sleep, period.
The body doesn’t keep track, the body just complains. You might feel weird if there is a dramatic change to your sleep schedule.
- Comment on What's the last point on your todo list? 4 months ago:
“hot tub - $$$$”
Right under “fix the back pain that plagues my life” which is right below “get LASIK”.
- Comment on The Black Friday sale for the most popular gaming system on the planet doesn't actually have any games on sale...? 5 months ago:
It is, which is why I check on darkpattern.games when finding a new one.
In a similar vein, Slice and Dice is on mobile and well worth it in my opinion.
