- Comment on GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future 1 week ago:
I believe one person acts as the host. That’s why sometimes it’ll kick you out of a session sometimes and start loading again, that means the host has left and someone else needs to take over.
- Comment on Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in? 2 weeks ago:
This is a good one, been using it for years if I ever need to install Windows for some godforsaken reason.
- Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve always felt like “ban” is more like a manual operarion, you’re banned until someone manually unbans you. While a kick or suspension expires on its own.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews 4 weeks ago:
There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts
Well yeah, that’s why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you’re doing things like this. It’s not just game developers working on the game.
Doesn’t even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.
- Comment on Anon takes the horsepill 5 weeks ago:
In the Netherlands you’re just not allowed to participate in traffic while drunk, so technically you’re not even allowed to bike. No one gives a shit about that one though.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 1 month ago:
Yeah, but it’s more than 0 pennies each.
- Comment on Vivaldi polishes its browser, adds a dashboard • The Register 1 month ago:
Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?
- Comment on Anon gets a pizza 2 months ago:
Yeah that doesn’t sound incredibly cheap, and also you have to factor in all the employees time used in your pizza
- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 2 months ago:
Nothing prevents you drom installing a linux os on an android phone, privided someone madw a rom for your device. It’s just not very useable due to proprietary drivers. Ubuntu touch exists for example, but on most phones you can’t even use the cellular antenna iirc
- Comment on Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's 3 months ago:
I think we’re looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
Same in the Netherlands, and I pretty much never see stray shopping trolleys anywhere around here. Seems to work really well.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws creative director admits forced stealth sections are “incredibly punishing”, says next patch will ease up on them 3 months ago:
They did credit Paradox, found the image here:

Which makes it even weirder, it’s not even ai generated.
- Comment on Loading currency to buy cosmetic skins in Injustice 2? You have to pay real money to do that. I did to buy the Bizarro skin. 3 months ago:
I mean, if it’s just cosmetic, you really didn’t have to do anything, you chose to do that.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 3 months ago:
I think the gyro and layout of the switch pro controller are good, but it just feels so cheap, and the buttons are way too mushy. Also doesn’t have analogue triggers. The d-pad is pretty terrible as well.
Overall not a great controller imo.
- Comment on Day 43 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)
- Comment on Day 43 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
I also loved this game on the 3DS. I’ve recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I’m not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version.
Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren’t an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.
- Comment on Has anyone tried Proton VPN? 3 months ago:
Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 3 months ago:
Single-player console games being 30fps is not new by any stretch
Yeah I know, that’s why I never really got into console gaming unfortunately. As I said elsewhere, I genuinely have trouble making out objects while looking around in first-person games, if it’s running at 30fps.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 3 months ago:
Yeah but on PC you usually get graphics settings you can tune to whatever you like. I’d personally rather have a slightly worse looking game running at 60+fps, than a beautiful one at 30.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 3 months ago:
I’d say 60+fps is especially necessary for first-person games. I seriously have issues making out objects and other things when looking around first-person at 30fps.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 3 months ago:
The people that keep saying that should really just try to use a 144+hz monitor for a while. Surely they’ll be able to notice the difference as well.
- Comment on 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' delivers first-ever side-by-side cut of raw footage with final film 3 months ago:
Yeah just checked cause I didn’t see it either, turns out ublock origin blocks it.

Or you can just use a different, less biased search engine.
- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 4 months ago:
Minecraft has been running fine on mobile, even as far back as like 2012 or something when it came out.
I remember playing it on an iPad 2, which is surely way more underpowered than the switch, and it ran perfectly fine. So it is possible. Guess they just didn’t really try hard enough?
- Comment on The LLM (Mistral) randomly started speaking spanish 4 months ago:
I was curious if mixtral is actually smart enough to complete that, but it keeps giving me blkid even though I told it, and it repeated back to me, that blk is the suffix, not the prefix.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 4 months ago:
I’m actually using Photoprism on the same truenas system to view my photos, I just already had nextcloud for the rest of my files, so I’m using that to upload. They point to the same datasets, so they share the image data. I believe photoprism is pretty similar to immich, but i haven’t used immich myself.

Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 4 months ago:
I think they’re both good for different use-cases. I use nextcloud myself on a truenas system. I sync things like my pictures to nextcloud, and delete them from my phone after I’ve sorted them into the correct folders.
This way my data isn’t clogging up my phone and other things, is still available from anywhere (as long as my home internet doesn’t go down), and it’s still safely stored on redundant storage.
This does take a bit more setting up than something like syncthing, though it wasn’t very difficult at all. Basically install the docker image, tell it where my data goes, and set up a new dns record if you want it publicly accessible. I personally run it through a zerotier network so I don’t have to do that.
- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 4 months ago:
I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.

I’m pretty sure the average user doesn’t even know what a “server” really is, let alone know how to set up an FTP server.
