…sure… - Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 day ago:
I have a very broad taste, so I play it all… except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that’s the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There’s niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because… I play it all.
- Comment on What a selection! 2 days ago:
Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

I agree, just without the religious dogma… I’m a person, its a tool… I don’t need a tool tanking me and I don’t need to thank a tool. That’s it.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 1 week ago:
Digital (as in data) has the ability to be easily copied, modified, searched, encrypted, transferred. Making a backup is trivial and virtually free, with less of an environmental impact.
Digital data always ends up being held on something physical which can be destroyed with the same processes as analog data can - except the digital storage medium can be more resilient to some external factors while being vulnerable to some extra ones which analog is not. In other words: a little bit of fire will not destroy a hard drive, but will burn paper easily. An EMP will destroy a hard drive but do nothing to paper. Both can be protected for either case to a certain degree.
Make backups of data you don’t want to lose (digital or analog). Don’t make the mistake of thinking one is more secure than the other. - Comment on Is geolibertarianism left wing or right wing? 2 weeks ago:
Centrist economic policy (no hard one way position on economy), libertarian social policy (little government). Hard to say really… what would you call a system which advocates workers rights while also supporting a free market?

Indeed. Why even live if you’re gonna die anyway.
- Comment on He took it literally 3 weeks ago:
You tell them you want your lawyer and you will not answer any questions until you see them. Your lawyer will tell you how to proceed.
If the police have nothing on you and wanted to fish something out of you, your lawyer will get you free. If the police have something against you and are pursuing further, your lawyer will inform you of what your options are. But generally, this is when you’re going to have to deal with this shit. It doesn’t matter if you did it or not at that point, but a lawyer will be your best bet to make it out on best grounds - whether that is get out free or with the smallest fine/sentence.
Just know:- if the police has something on you, and you did it, its game over, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has something on you, and you didn’t do it, its an unfortunate situation, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has nothing on you, and you did it, though unethical, a lawyer will get you off free
- if the police has nothing on you, and you didn’t do it, a lawyer will get you off free

Wait, is this true? Should we do daily bloodletting into the toilet to lose weight? Or are we counting the blood as calories… since they technically are?

Wish I had one today. That’s expensive today.
- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 1 month ago:
hears loud banging and glass shattering on the stairwell, as a 70 pound monitor tumbles and rolls down the stairs while 20 year old dust off the magnetron fills the air …its junk now.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 1 month ago:
The post is mocking a language, not the people who speak it. It may be in poor taste, but its not racist.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 1 month ago:
It’s called a creole language. An even simpler version is a pidgin language (there’s an example posted in one of the comments). Creole is usually a more evolved pidgin. Developed by children of creole speakers.
- Comment on Anon does a drug bust 1 month ago:
My point is, you should try it and play with him, because it’s legos and everyone understands legos and has an imagination waiting to be awoken.
- Comment on Anon does a drug bust 1 month ago:
Meh, minecraft is not so bad. Its pretty much legos. Did it change much? I played it in beta and never since.

- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 months ago:
- Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
- Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
- Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
- Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
- VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned
- Comment on Forever young 2 months ago:
Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt. - Comment on dating profile 2 months ago:

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 months ago:
Isn’t quest 3 sold at a loss? Selling similar hardware at no loss will present a challenge.
Though, at the same time, there’s not much wrong with making low quantities of something and selling them at a profit, slowly. - Comment on Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers 2 months ago:

- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Price will make or break this thing. Rumors going around its gonna be around 1k which is a tall ask for the listed specs. 500, I’d buy it without any promise of any Valve backed VR game and I’m not even big on VR. For the rumored price, I’d need to see more commitment from Valve and latest news right now are saying they aren’t developing a VR title.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 2 months ago:
I dont see it. Mario is a forever brand that is handled well. Sonic is a forever brand that is handled a little less well, but its hanging on. Ubisoft had a forever brand, possibility with rayman, but handled it like shit. Forever brand is a mascot and something that associates with the company. AC is an open world action game with little relatability between each title.
