Drama drives these things. I totally understand Ross not wanting to engage in it 10 months ago but look at what it can do.

Naming it incognito was a mistake. It was always clear to me all incognito is, is a non persistent container to keep your browsing data separate from your regular browsing data. All its hiding is your porn browsing habits from your mom. But of course, the name implies much more.

Man, so many influencers do this. It’s really a shame what kind of world we are building. People who actually have reach - influencers, staying quiet about real issues in fear of cutting the hand that feeds them. Off topic but damn if it doesn’t hold true.

One could argue the article is anti consumerist since its talking about de cluttering, albeit in a weird way. At least, that’s what I’m assuming. As for organic conversation, beats “did you see [sports game] last night”. But that’s just me.

What I’m seeing in Europe is a few sellers selling them, sourced from other steam decks. Used parts from non reputable sources. This is what I’m talking about. Yes, I could use them if I really needed it, true.

And, as luck would have it, the thing that breaks on mine is the track pad and I cant find a replacement.
- Comment on Anon predicts the future 2 weeks ago:
Trust is the most important part. You trust someone they made something themselves. They digitally sign their work with a public key that is known to be theirs. You can now verify they (the person you trust) made it.
Once the trusted creator’s key is leaked, they are no longer trusted for future works.
AI made content can be freely signed as well, but if you don’t trust the origin, the signature doesn’t matter anyway.
The key thing is trust, the signature is just there to verify. - Comment on Day 332 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Well said. I adjusted my expectations and found myself liking the game. I didn’t find the planets lacking in anything, really. I expected things to be barren as it felt more realistic. The game is photographiclly beautiful. While a lot of the gameplay and writing critique is valid, I didn’t think it was a fundamentally bad game, just mediocre in some parts and excellent in other parts many people simply overlook.

I believe it uses DRM that doesn’t work on newer Windows versions. There’s a fan patch that removes the drm and the game should run. Online is probably not an issue.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if you’re trolling or what, but I still play MK Wii regularly with friends on local co op. Used to play it on the console, I now emulate it on a steam deck. There’s nothing that matches the quality and charm of the game on any platform and I say this as a regular opponent of Nintendo. I don’t find it unfair as it strikes a good balance between skill and luck. Everyone I’ve played with, gamers or not, pretty much agree.

New to this? You go to the website and claim the game, then never play it and go back to playing whatever you were before.

You can buy it yourself. Then list for 9k again and point out it’s previously been sold for 10k. It’s been done.

I’ve noticed this too. In movies and TV, its not just the people that are beautiful, often times, its their material wealth too.
- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 5 weeks ago:
So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.

Here it boils down to:
- Network power (fixed fee based on your max power needs, depends on time as well)
- Network energy transfer (fee for energy transfered, here its about 0.018€/kwh)
- Energy (fee on the energy used, about 0.146€/kwh right now)
- Taxes
- some bullshit for maintenance and running an open market portal for companies to buy/sell energy

Geralt could go on a Gwent tour… but what’s this? Upon entering this new land of Walachia, some bandits stole his Gwent deck while he was asleep in his camp. And he had the ultra rare nude Triss card in it, too! Open, The Witcher 4: a quest for cards.

I remember it being in W2 as well. Its just been so long since I’ve played either, I really cant articulate it well why I liked it so much. I just know I did but didn’t feel the same way about W3. In the end, I loved each of the games because they all had their own thing going for them. I don’t have a favorite.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 1 month ago:
What I appreciated with the first Witcher is seeing the story from all sides and I dont recall it feeling black and white. Humans were shown as hating elves for their attacks, but then you get to the elves and learn their part of why they were attacking. The writing feels raw with hints of racism, vulgarism and the like. It felt right for the setting.
The Botching story line (the barron) in W3 was probably my favorite and that was a side quest. I didnt feel the same momentum going forward in the main story of W3.
