- Comment on Senators Revive Open App Markets Act to Dismantle App-Store Gatekeeping 3 months ago:
Some sloppy copy-paste editing in the article. It still references president Biden.
The bill never made it to a vote last time. I expect it will have a similar fate this time —especially with legislative attention focused so much on budget issues. Feels like something they did so they can put it in an election ad.
I hope i’m wrong and it makes it further, but i’m not holding my breath.
- Comment on Trying to remember a game (military battle simulator) 3 months ago:
Pretty vague description, unfortunately. Sounds like it could be one of Eugen Systems’ games though?
- Comment on Self insert power fantasy recommendations? 3 months ago:
How important is being an RPG in this case? as I note only a couple of your examples are in that genre)
The below suggestions are not RPGs, but I think fit your request.
It’s a survival game, but Conan Exiles ticks a lot of those boxes once you get a bit geared (which doesn’t take super long), and it can be played single player. Just have to be okay with some janky experiences.
I will also note that you are a girl in Hades 2.
Sifu is another one you might enjoy, though bosses certainly are a challenge.
Bayonetta is probably the most pure example of a horde-fighting action game with a sexy female witch protagonist. Lollipop Chainsaw is there too, for more of an airhead protagonist. Darksiders 3 could fit the bill as well.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA challenges Epic Games over Darth Vader AI in Fortnite [VGC] 4 months ago:
This is the point of collective bargaining contracts. A union negotiates the rules by which their members and companies interact, sign a contract, and then both are bound by that contract for the term.
The union is claiming the contract they have in place prevents the automation of voice by the bound company unless they get agreement from the union first.
- Comment on I'm looking for the Holy Grail of multiplayer gaming 4 months ago:
My interpretation of your request boils down to “what’s a good multiplayer roguelike” where the grinding is the replaying.
So, depending on how many players you need it to support and preferred genres, you might check out games like
- Risk of Rain 2
- Enter the Gungeon
- Children of Morta
- Vampire Survivors
- Streets of Rogue
- Gunfire Reborn
- Barony
There’s also a game Jumpship that i’m keeping an eye on the development of that’s supposed to be hitting early access in the coming months.
- Comment on Bluesky may soon add blue check verification | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
I expect the trusted authorities would be selected by the server where the user account resides. I.e. if a server’s admin does not recognize a certain authority, it would not show their verifications to users logged in to their server.
It’s possible that it could extend to user selections of trusted verifiers as well, but I think implementing that level of granularity would be more of pain than it’s worth to Bluesky. Still, I could be surprised.
- Comment on Bluesky may soon add blue check verification | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
I think their plan is for it to be like how website cert verification works. You have a set of trusted authorities that issue certs (or in this case verifications) and that can revoke them if needed.

Isn’t owning the domain proof enough already?
It’s open to abuse and exploitation the same way domains are in general. An enterprising faker could register a domain that looks legit, but isn’t.
- Comment on Comedian Russell Brand charged with rape 5 months ago:
Why did I think that happened years ago?
- Comment on Overblown quantum dot conspiracy theories make important points about QLED TVs 6 months ago:
Yes. I’m assuming they mean W-OLED (the other kind of OLED) when they say OLED. Or else they meant to say uLED.
- Comment on Should you bother with... mini PCs? 9 months ago:
Gotta make sure the fan is quiet enough for it though.
- Comment on US lawyers will reportedly try to force Google to sell Chrome and unbundle Android 10 months ago:
The case likely began (as an investigation) while Trump was still in office. Here’s hoping it can continue.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 1 year ago:
The support article explains the rationale.
Unchecked by default would render the experiment useless.
- Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do? 1 year ago:
- PPA doesn’t make Mozilla money.
- Firefox is developed by Mozilla Corp, which can’t take donations. Mozilla Foundation does do fundraising drives, but that’s mostly for their public advocacy (which, ironically, may be where the idea for PPA originated).
- PPA has a checkbox in about:preferences.
- Comment on [C-SPAN] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Introduce Articles of Impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito (13:37) 1 year ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding the comment you replied to.
The “do nothing congress” was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.
The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That’s the comparison the commenter was making.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Deus Ex 1 year ago:
Dishonored is the closest Deus Ex successor in my mind. Harvey Smith in the level design DNA.
- Comment on Apple Decides to Block Open-Source Emulator App for iOS 1 year ago:
I believe Apple still has the power to block third party store apps based on signature. It’s a security thing to be able clean malware.
- Comment on Minimum ! 1 year ago:
South Park was right all along. Those time travelers really are taking our jobs.
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 1 year ago:
As I said, it’s on consoles too — including Switch. It’s just that it’s a secondary platform for it — meaning it may be a lesser experience than on the platform it was ported from.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 1 year ago:
I’m dubious Android even serves as a base for Kobo’s OS. I’ve seen no evidence to support that claim.
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 1 year ago:
Outward is on consoles as well, though PC is its primary platform.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 1 year ago:
Tolinos use different processors precisely because they run Android, while Kobos do not.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 1 year ago:
I’m not aware of any Kobo using Android.
- Comment on Kobo's new color E Ink eReaders start at only $150 1 year ago:
Kobo? No. They have their own firmware.
- Comment on Professional drummer hears Rage Against The Machine - Bulls on Parade for the first time... without the drums and is asked to improvise. 1 year ago:
I don’t think famous songs hold any special place for musicians, and this isn’t a song famous for its drums (that a drummer would seek out to study). There’s a lot of songs out there — sometimes you just miss some.
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 1 year ago:
Screen corners are prime real estate. They have infinite size beyond the screen, allowing you to quickly fling the pointer to them. It’s a big reason things like app menus or the Mac’s Mission Control are accessed by the screen corners.
- Comment on New Kickstarter for a cool looking game: Starship Simulator 1 year ago:
Sounds like its going for kind of a Pulsar: Lost Colony vibe to the gameplay. Not sure the Project Cars aspect of it really adds to the fun, though. Will keep an eye on it.
