• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are display sizes always measured in inches?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And we tried changing this a few years back, but failed, since the numbers were too wacky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🧊🧊👶⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Leider ist Ihre Reise nach dem Reiseplan nicht mehr befahrbar. Wir bitten Sie, sich selbst um einen anderen Transport zu sorgen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding another vote for you to clean your pc, possibly redo thermal paste and locate the core issue instead of doing that hack job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to make friends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I also wonder how much of it is bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to make friends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for this and I can relate and confirm. People always feel attacked even when I am very careful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of swollen batteries?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So why the question then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of swollen batteries?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, another US issue.

  (Not being condescending, but oftentimes there are solutions but not in the us. In this case in Germany you have the “wertstoffhof” where you can just bring stuff like that. Cost - if any - depends on location)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Movies not starting when they are scheduled.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, one of the symptoms how stuff gets rid of itself. Also prices and other things.

  It’s a luxury issue really and cinemas and in part the entertainment industry can cry me a river.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah absolutely. I just remember me/the protagonist being god or something? Or maybe I misunderstood 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a boyfriend, but I feel like I don't deserve to have one, and I keep alternating between those two thoughts which is making me feel confused. Is this normal?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside what the helpful other comment said, it might as well be something of the neurodiversity spectrum that you don’t know of yourself. This may help you a lot understanding yourself and the source of your thoughts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zwei Mettbrötchen bitte!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no.

  As a German and also liking sushi… This is true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do not owe any random person anything.

  (yes really. It may be rude on occasion but you do not owe politeness to just anyone either. And oftentimes politeness is also abused)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The History of 3D Gaming - [The History of Video Games]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, don’t, nothing is ever complete. If it really was that wicked3d, it’s very niche and surprising I even had it 😁.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The History of 3D Gaming - [The History of Video Games]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I had 2 monster3d* voodoo 2 cards and could play sort of most 3dfx games with shutter* glasses in more or less good 3d.

  (* I am pretty sure but it’s been a long time)

  It was draining like most 3d implementations but the novelty wore off rather quickly too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The History of 3D Gaming - [The History of Video Games]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, sad to see he just skipped over voodoo2 (3dfx) 3d glasses prior to Nvidia…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed I can confirm.

  Just a few days ago I pondered the life of plants and asked my wife how she thinks the death of a plant is defined if for animals (including humans of course) it’s mostly the heartbeat.

  So when is a plant dead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just got charged for reading it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah we’re working on avoiding any kind of “Energiewende”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Competition is good, yes and no.

  Exclusivity is not competition, it’s lock in for me. So epic should get it’s head out of its ass and offer games on both platforms equally. THAT is competition.

  I am not a fan of steam. Not a fan of having a library that could change at anytime at anyone’s whim but mine. So I prefer gog (yes I know some titles are drm free on steam and it’s not perfect on gog either / this is just for context).

  Anyhow steam is well established and forcing me to use your store and launcher will just lead to me ignoring you (doing that for origin, uplay, epic) because it’s a luxury problem.

  Same with all that streaming shit. Also there are other ways if you piss off people a lot, yarr!

  The companies forget who made them big. And for epic I count myself in on that massively, still owning game boxes of e.g. Xargon (look it up, and my EU? box is not to be found on ebay) and equally for EA.

  And I will not stand for anti consumer behaviors. Got enough money to spend at my age but theyre not getting it like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting to hear, honestly. And would be interesting to dive in if that’s related to age, culture, country etc… But a little too complicated for analyzing that here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, yes. That’s a Bad headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIN sagt geht klar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Könnte schon, wenn ich wollte.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s not about liking. My eyes aren’t as good as they were and the far worse contrast combined with the smaller size worsens the readability significantly.

  (Don’t rush but you’ll get there.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The older I get the more I am sure the ones with that motivation wouldn’t buy much in the first place and it’s more corporate propaganda and fear mongering.

  Having someone to blame, take the fall. Politics, basically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely! I will just drop them if they’re not deemed worthy.

  The same with all the big ones that were too big to fail until they did.

  I am sure though it’s not that time for Nintendo. It might only be a thing on paper.

  But the damage stays and sums up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uncultured⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ich dachte es wäre immer Pinke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dito. I thought it was a minor update and was greeted by ‘welcome’ letting me feel as if my mobile was reset for a few minutes.

  Bad experience. And just because it needed to make absolutely sure I do not ignore the gemini AI.

  I then ignored the gemini AI, out of spite alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Readable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was more readable, to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, uncohesive! Exactly. I was looking for a word what I think of the changes and can absolutely agree.

  It’s a mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I changed that as soon as I got into the the wrong thing for the fifth time by accident.

  Maybe it’s my (front display) slim phone but who designs shit like that?
