You’re welcome :)
- Comment on Recompilation: An Incredible New Way to Keep N64 Games Alive 2 days ago:
It’s been a few years since I tried it out but I think following these instructions on an Ubuntu machine worked without any problems. From there you just copy the binary to your Deck and add it as a non-Steam game as normal (making sure to use the Linux runtime rather than Proton).

Same, I’m wondering what this brings that you can’t already do
- Comment on Smart meter data: the Government’s at it again 1 week ago:
I’m usually pretty cautious around “smart” stuff that lets organisations spy on you but I somehow didn’t consider the smart meter.
When are you usually away from home? Did you get a good night’s sleep or did you drive while sleep deprived? What time did you leave your home? Did the time it took you to get from to your workplace mean that you broke the speed limit to get there? Or, in a custody battle: Have you ever left your 11 year old child home alone? How often, and for how long? If you are claiming benefits while looking for work, can you explain why you have been away for a couple of days? These are just a range of questions that energy consumption data can answer, or at least guess: maybe you just fell asleep with the lights on, but data is against you and it’s now up to you to demonstrate that you didn’t drive while sleep deprived.
A good summary of ‘why you should give a shit’!
- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 1 week ago:
I completed Afterbirth and put it down for a few years, I’ve recently got Repentance and not only did I pick it up again pretty quickly but there is so much new stuff. I can’t recommend it enough!
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
I’m using Summit, it can toggle off links, texts, pictures, and video posts
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
Would that work to obfuscate up/downvotes in general?
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
Some clients let you do that
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
How do you store who has voted and what the results of the poll are without storing results on a server? Ultimately it’s just the same sort of data as who upvoted and downvoted what, right?

EEA and EU are related but not the same
- Comment on where's my fur coat smh 1 week ago:
especially when the animal walked upright on two legs, which it seemed likely to have done when climbing or scouting for prey
i.e. on all fours the rest of the time
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 1 week ago:
It’s definitely a fascinating subject! I guess the big question is whether we all have two consciousnesses already or that situation only develops after the split. It seems to me that healthy brains have both sides working so well together that they’re essentially one unit, and they only start behaving separately once their forced to.
- Comment on So I played the original TimeSplitters last night 2 weeks ago:
TS2 and 3 were probably my favourite shooters ever (except maybe TF2?), Halo always seemed like a step backwards because it didn’t have bots!
- Comment on So I played the original TimeSplitters last night 2 weeks ago:
Was the original TimeSplitters on the GC? I know it had 2 and 3 but I thought 1 was PlayStation only.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Royal Mail list the thicknesses that are allowed, but they all go in the same letterbox so I assume their machines can handle it
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 2 weeks ago:
The point of 2FA/MFA is that you need two separate things in order to gain access. By having them both be the same then suddenly the attacker only needs to get one factor. Sure, it’s probably low risk, but it’s still risk.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
You can, yes. Also a lot of the time the things you’re sending are small enough to fit in a letter or large letter.
- Comment on trapped! 2 weeks ago:
Star Wars has princesses, heroes, evil empires, and forgotten magical powers; it’s heroic fantasy but in space instead of a pseudo-mediaeval setting. I guess that’s why people call it “Space Opera” rather than sci-fi!
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Also a lot of people who do use computers! Lots of people selling their stuff of eBay or Etsy will be sending things in the post. Way less letters than the old days, but way more parcels (I think).
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I had a read up and there’s been almost nothing from Nintendo, so everything is educated guesses at best
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
They have??
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 2 weeks ago:
A disconnect doesn’t necessarily imply two separate conscious entities though, right?
- Comment on arthropods 2 weeks ago:
There’s probably still a bit of aerodynamic effect, but yeah that sounds a lot more scientific!
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 2 weeks ago:
It is proposed that it is possible that a person may develop two separate conscious entities within their one brain after undergoing a corpus callosotomy.
So unless you’ve had your brain cut in half to treat your epilepsy then you’re probably alright
No conclusive evidence of the proposed phenomenon has been discovered.
- Comment on arthropods 2 weeks ago:
It’s not even very good logic (in my humble, non-expert opinion). There are more cars about, so even if the number of bugs was the same there would be less bugs per car, and that ignores that cars are more aerodynamic and so are probably just killing less bugs anyway!

Chip’s Challenge. It is a remake, but it was remade by the same guy!
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I know, that was my original point. I think it’s fine to be sad that an open source project is stagnating, especially if you’re a keen user but don’t have the knowledge to change the codebase yourself. Thankfully I didn’t see anyone being rude or demanding, that’s the real bad sign.
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 2 weeks ago:
No mentions of an alpha for nearly a year, all the recent comments are people lamenting its apparent abandonment!
