• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve pirated a game since 2008! Used to be if I didn’t like their price, I waited and bought on sale or used. Now that I play on PC and used games aren’t a thing anymore, I just don’t play it.

  There’s a sea of games out there and If I don’t like the practices of the publisher, I skip them. Why should I engage with their product if they don’t respect me as a customer or share my sensibilities? I’m not a hypocrite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say no to oblivion remaster treatment. Completely new models and environments in a new engine, while running the old game logic.
  Right now it really does look like they remastered it to in 2007 and are releasing it now.
  I think its more sad they’re doing a remaster and not putting more effort into it.

  Reminds me of old youtube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why they’d be called hallucinations thought. What LM’s do is predict the next word(s). If it hasn’t trained on enough data sets, the prediction confidence will be low. Their whole output is a hallucination based on speculation. If they actually don’t know the next word order, they’ll start spewing nonsense though I guess that would only happen if they were forced to generate text indefinitely… at some point they’d cease making (human) sense.

  LMs aren’t smart, they don’t think, they’re not really AI.

  Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.

  So anyway, you guys excited for Hades 2?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck Chad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.

  Yeah… all I wanted was Freelancer 2.
  Then I realized, Microsoft had to step in, get rid of Roberts so Freelancer could see the light of day. And it dawned on me, we’re not seeing Freelancer 2 from this guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨winter fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal genres⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like I’m “Its all metal” cause I don’t judge and will listen to a lot of it as long as I can understand the vocals. But I’ll lean more towards the classic stuff like early Sabbath and Dio (both rainbow, sabbath and solo) and if its more modern it just ends up being Iron Maiden (I still love The Final Frontier or Book Of Souls… which are 15 and 10 years old now… fuck me). No idea of any new artists after like 2000 lol. I don’t see myself here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think someone in this thread posted a similar thing that’s probably better. When I left, there wasn’t anything like it so I had to cobble something together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t be racist against white people.

  Racism is discrimination or prejudice based on race. By definition, you are incorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… I did this too when leaving. Made a small app to edit and delete every comment I made. I actually had a useful IT related self hosting post which was also nuked. I guess that’s the price the whole community had to pay for reddits thirst for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This implies every drink and its display is handled by its own computer running linux. Potentially mtndew has a different IP than coca cola. You need to ssh to this thing multiple times to do maintenance!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨get sum⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say 10% not fucking is pretty standard/average and your thinking you were all (100%) doing it is either clouded by your own experiences or you grew up in a very liberal community where it deviates.

  Why its rising is questionable. Personally, I’d say its due to rising depression rates… well, it correlates at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 update introduces Power Saver option with a trade-off | Polygon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna depend on the game. It reads like it’s a system setting that games can read and adjust their resource demand. Like a game boots up and checks if power saving is turned on and if it is, renders at a lower resolution or something like that. The system software will probably do that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does a grill need a screen and buttons? Maybe I’m living in the stone age, but what I call grilling involves putting charcoal to a flame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also fucks up the main plumbing system right down to the water treatment facility and while there, it fucks that too.

  If your taxes pay for wastewater management, you’re fucking yourself up.
  If you pay in addition to your taxes, you’re fucking yourself up.
  If you have your own septic tank, you’re fucking yourself up.
  If it flows to the river directly and you enjoy clean nature, you’re fucking yourself up.
  If it flows to the river directly and your taxes pay for nature maintenance, you’re fucking yourself up.

  Grease down the drain is fucking yourself up and you deserve it. You can not win with it. It will come back to bite you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, no, you don’t get it. It’s the other country that pays the tariffs… duh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve owned one since the beginning, and the only major downside to the controller is that it requires relearning. No d pad, touch pads, back buttons are something not found on other controllers, so there is no familiarity you can bring to the device. As a result, you need to rethink and relearn how to use a controller. If you do end up learning it, it can bring a lot to the table because there is nothing like it in terms of customisability.
  Sadly i never put in the time and only played simple games on it. I still bist it out for mario kart.
  The other minor downside is its not exactly comfortable to use. The handles are angled upwards instead of down which feels unnatural to me… again, probably because no other cobtroller does ot that way.
  I keep saying to myself if I ever boot up cities skylines on the TV, I’m waking up the steam controller for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milking dust⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First one was grand, didn’t need to be followed up or remade. Now we have a franchise… The only remake I wouldn’t mind seeing is a more brutal first one, closer to what the book was depicting. All I’d be interested in really.
