I remember when you used to be able to just enter the Wadsworth constant in the URL and it would jump you right to the good stuff

Not really tho.

It’s silly how some of them do this while simultaneously pushing ugly and aggressive policies.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 1 week ago:
The pushback would be when they cry about monetary losses for something they literally don’t even sell anymore. Is this not why they’re always trying to take down ROM sites?
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 1 week ago:
Which is why there needs to be better pushback “Okay, so where exactly are you selling a functional SNES cart that I can plug into my SNES and play?” as an example.
- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 1 week ago:
Man, I forgot all about Kongregate. Flash games with achievements was a cool idea.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 1 week ago:
People should educate others on how to get content not available in their area for fee without the hassle.
If media isn’t available in your area, then the company is telling you they don’t want your money. There is a $0.00 loss to them if you pirate it.

- Comment on How do Ghostwriters work? Does the person the book is about say to the writer I will give you 2 or 20 percent of the sales or is it a 50 50 split? 2 weeks ago:
Word!

Wtf… Who brushes their teeth BEFORE they eat?! That’s like wiping your ass before you shit
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 3 weeks ago:
I dress for myself unless I want to try to exploit something, then I’ll dress to fit in because a lot of normies are stupid and actually think different types of clothing means something.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 4 weeks ago:
Not natively, but you could log it locally and I guess publish that to a site or something
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 4 weeks ago:
Going back to IRC would be fun.
Discord is okay for chat, but a lot of communities seem to think that Discord is a perfectly cromulent support channel… I guess that’s cool if you like to answer the same question a bunch, and want it to be impossible for people to find their answers via Google.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 4 weeks ago:
I hate discord with a passion. I wish we’d go back to message boards - properly indexed websites that you can search to find discussions on things you need.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 4 weeks ago:
Krita in Linux has been amazing. I’ve never used Affinity, and I’m far from a pro… But I can do most of what I used to do in Photoshop in Krita fairly naturally. It’s way easier to transition to than GIMP ever was.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
You call them “steamed jams” despite the fact you are obviously not billed?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
I wish companies would go back to putting SD card slots in all the phones again
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 months ago:
Users are getting dumber by the day. The people arguing back to me about “this is a you problem” when I mention reasons why device ownership is important is way too fucking high.
This is why you gatekeep hobbies. Keep the dipshits out so they don’t become the masses that ruin what you enjoy.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 2 months ago:
Nah, they just moved them between 9-5, so now your work day is twice as long as your personal time is twice as short.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 2 months ago:
Wow, a Zombo reference in 2025? Hell yeah!
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 2 months ago:
Windows is horrible at informing in general. The event viewer is a terrible mess to get through, too. I wish I could get paid as much as Microsoft to deliver products as bad as Microsoft.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
The problem is the massive gap between the two. Once again, advocating murder and mass suicide because “we all die eventually”
I’d much sooner advocate just living as much of a full life as you can, and doing what can be done to fight back.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
Well, creating posts and content that suggest both side is only going to throw more people into the uneducated/uninformed bucket.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
Nah, it’s just a modicum of critical thinking. “Would I rather have things stay the same, or maybe get slightly worse; or have things rocket to the bottom as fast as possible?”
To say the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican party is so incredibly stupid. Like, look at the track record of the two and tell me that the dems have caused as much damage as the Republicans, or that on a global scale right-wing politics has brought about more positivity than left-wing politics.
I don’t think Kamala would have made things better than they were, but I don’t think anybody would. But I so think she would have made things significantly better than they are right now under Trump… But all those people trying to say “tHeYrE bOtH the SaMe” got what they wanted, and hopefully they’re enjoying what they’re getting. I certainly don’t think they’re anywhere near the same.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
Make it make sense… You are telling me that citizens would have the same quality of life right now and no more to fight for than they currently do under the current administration, had Harris have won? I find that incredibly difficult to believe.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
This doesn’t answer my question.
Do you think change will be easier to make when a party is in power that is slowly chipping away at your freedoms, or when a party is in place that is going to go full-tilt authoritarian and do as much damage in as little time as possible?
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
Times haven’t changed, and vertical videos are still a pointless waste of time and space.
Dancing I guess might make sense if the person is dancing in place, but realistically if it can be shot vertically you should ask “is this really even worth recoding?” Chances are the answer is “no”.
There is almost 0 need for vertical videos.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 2 months ago:
The real question should be: why are vehicle manufacturers inclusing features that they can’t afford to maintain after they have sold it to us? Maybe stop making everything internet-integrated. Nobody in their right mind should be forking over a subscription for something they just spent tens of thousands of dollars on.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 2 months ago:
Kia has a subscription service for the ability to set remote start options. They can get fucked, too.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 2 months ago:
Sure, but we’re not going to pull off the bandaid by continually voting in the party that is going to fuck us over fsstest. Is it not easier to work with a slow decline than a turbocharged rocket into the ground?
