- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 4 days 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.

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.

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 6 days 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 1 week 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.

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 4 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 4 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.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 4 weeks ago:
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? 4 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.

- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 1 month 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
