does it matter where it comes from?
Of course it does. What a weird question to ask.

Oh yeah sure, there’s only tiktok+youtube or the EB :-)

If you say things like “educate yourself” followed by youtube-links…I mean, on a us-american schoolyard this might be valued as “education”, but…well…

Do you really? This bugger is loud as fuck and eats the sun for breakfast, energy-wise. In hind sight, a 5080 would’ve done equally fine minus some fps.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Thanks man, that’s all I needed to know. Nothing worse than playing a sequel first and only getting all references or so in hindsight.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Perfect. Thanks for the detailed summary. My wife has a switch-something with breath of the wild. But I could never get myself to playing on this tiny thing or on a TV with 30fps or whatever the game offers (anything <80 gives me headaches). But the five minutes I managed to check it out, got my curiosity.
So, seems like I finally take a look into Zelda…
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Perfect! I’m curious to Zelda around for the first time ever. Who’s envious? 😁
Thanks man!
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Sounds solid. Hopefully it aged better than the 2600 games 😁
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
In hindsight I don’t really know how we could justify paying 50€ for 10 pixels and two beeps 😁 but I’d say pacman? Was my first beside pong.
Still have the cartridges in my cabinet 😍
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Thanks man, will do! As there were tons of Zeldas: it’s a finished story I can even follow without knowing any other title? I assume so, also assuming it’s not just great gameplay but also great story.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Never played the orig (never had a console after the Atari 2600), but as much as I’ve hears of the zelda-games, it’s probably worth a shot?
A pirated ROM will probably do fine too? Before even thinking of giving nintendo a single Buck
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 2 weeks ago:
How could I forget…it marked the final straw to never ever visit this country, despite its tons of things I’d die to see (grand canyon for one).
It was and is an awesome “excuse” to tighten “security” and to cut freedom and rights for its people
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
Oh lol, never heard of mint in that context 😁 For gaming there’s no question I’d say => cachy. They’re always up2date and everything works. On suse I had more probs, but I don’t game on that device so I chose it because German 😁
Also pacman beats zyppr. By speed at least. It’s so fucking slow it drives me mad… And then you get paru on top. Guess I would choose cachy (or other arch-based) for nongaming too.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
Cachyos and opensuse here, but at least those are at home only so I don’t need mobile. The updates alone would probably fill some more gig otherwise. But still far from 30.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
Indeed. If needed then you probably don’t need to pay for it.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 2 weeks ago:
As said, our state covers hardship. So even if I were in deep shit, I wouldn’t starve and had a roof over my head.
Yet it would have to be real shit for me to throw away my morals for some bucks. As said, threw away a great job with not much work and tons of benefits just for that.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
To be honest, I don’t have any precise clue about food prices either. Our cook buys it. If he all uses it for food or not, we don’t know and don’t check.
But I’m also aware that 10 bucks probably won’t buy shit anywhere in the capitalist world. And surely no dinner. Here (germany) you can buy 6 buns for 10 bucks. We just did and I thought i slept for 3 decades or so. It was 0.10 per bun when I was younger.
Still 60 bucks for a bit…mobile data? I pay 120 for 5x1gbit at home. And for half of it I could use a fraction of it outside? Sounds bonkers. Or maybe I’m just a cheapskate 😁
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
But seriously, who needs unlimited? I have 30GB, rarely ever use more than 5GB tops. With watching jellyfin.
I may be a cheapskate, but 60 bucks for some unlimited data sounds bizzare. For tiktok-junkies maybe who spend 20h a day scrolling vids?
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 weeks ago:
60 bucks for a phone a month and you call that “minimum wage poor”? While just using 350 for food? The most important factor in life?
I drown in money and use a 8yr old phone and pay 7 moneyz a month for a generous contract. I would consider a 60 buck monthly budget for a stupid phone outrageously wild.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 2 weeks ago:
For us here, no. It’s just a social welfare-state.
But still, even if I would have to struggle, I wouldn’t sell my soul for some bucks to an evil company. Probably prefer stealing or whatever over that. And if the state pisses on me and also all companies I could work at were evil, I’d emigrate. There’s a reason we drown in migrants…

Guess it does. Slowly but steady. World sucks.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 3 weeks ago:
If Spain shits on the jobless, then it seems like a “yes”?
And dude, you shouldn’t have to struggle… That’s the whole point. If one has to struggle existing without a job then the system’s broken and morality probably comes second. Sad world.
And if I had struggled in life, my expertise suddenly would count?

Fucking amateur…I ordered specially made yolks from Japan. For real gamerz. High precision, high durabilty, less odor.
Worth it. Ah kids these days…
- Comment on But what if I don't like soy milk? 3 weeks ago:
made seed oils something US-American people consider unhealthy.
I helped you correct it 😁
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 3 weeks ago:
As said, exclude third-world, they have it all bad, not just the social net.
Every so called first-world has at least some kind of social net. Unless you count the USA in, that’s a country of slaves and billionaires.
I find it a bit weird that you find it detestable if I had moral reservations about working at e.g. google or some other devil. That’s what morals are, you usually don’t sell them out for 1000 moneyz a month. Or else they were just nice-to-have-if-everything-else-is-sated. So basically a luxury and ultimately useless.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 3 weeks ago:
Why? You don’t have a job, you get social security. Search for a new job all in peace and quiet. If not this month, then next. Or next year. It’s most likely not awesome nor drowning you in great riches, but you won’t starve and have a home. That’s what a society is, or at least should aspire to be. Help others.
Unless, as said, some third-world without any social net, then I’m sorry man, it probably sucks and your hate is maybe best directed at those who put you in such a miserable position.
- Comment on We live in tough times 3 weeks ago:
Q4 2025 I bought 2x 128gb for my servers. For 800 moneyz. Now it’s between 4400 and 6600…If I’d sell them now i could buy a shitty used car for it. Or even a rtx5090. Jeez. It’s not fun anymore.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 3 weeks ago:
In what third-world do you reside in that quitting an evil job will get you hungry and homeless? And even if you’d be living like a slave there, there would still be another job that is NOT evil or less.

In the Netherlands I would switch to bike. Here (kraut), not so much. And public transport is a nasty nightmare. Nah, car it is!

No? Microsoft, x, meta, apple, every “ai”-company, every “modern” car-company, big oil, Samsung and the others, …
