Also VLC requires you to curate a movie collection. I’m too old to keep doing that shit.
These days I use a Debrid service to steam torrents directly to my TV at gigabit speeds, with Stremio as my frontend to give me a Netflix-like experience. You get all the convenience of a modern streaming service, without the exorbitant fees nor the hassle of managing a Jellyfin server. Just fire up the TV and pick something to watch.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 5 days ago:
It all comes down to Japanese peoples’ bizarre beliefs. They see modding their games as a shameful behavior because they compare it to theft/plagiarism. It’s the same reason why Nintendo is so god damn evil. In their eyes they’re doing the honorable thing by suing their own customer base.

You can’t outrun your diet.

It’s also not something you can just ignore. Eventually you’ll damage/destroy your engine.
Cam position sensors are cheap and generally easy even for a beginner to replace, so if I were you I’d stop putting it off and just get it fixed.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
Yet still only four face buttons. I don’t know why every controller manufacturer in existence refuses to bring back 6 button pads, even Valve. Instead they all just copy each others’ designs. Even Nintendo—once known for being innovative—is guilty of this. The Switch/Switch 2 Pro controller is literally just a crappier XBOX controller with digital triggers for some bizarre reason.

If only a diagnosis was as cheap as a $20 scan tool…
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
Damn, remind me to never play them, then.
A good story shouldn’t need to be told through endless dialog boxes, it should be told through gameplay.

Yeah seriously, V gets so worked up over fucking everything and I just couldn’t give a fuck. Calm the fuck down and take your Xanax, V. You’re stressing me out over nothing.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
LOL I could have told you that before you spent the money.
Thankfully there’s a lot of good games that really shine on high-end hardware. Like that Indiana Jones game and the Spider-Man games. Also you never have to worry about games being an unoptimized mess when you can just brute force them with pure processing power.
- Comment on Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it. 2 weeks ago:
You could probably get a replacement even if the jar is completely empty. I used to work customer service in a grocery store. One time a guy returned an empty wine bottle. I gave him a full refund. Why? Because they steal from their employees every single day. I’m just evening the plating field a bit.

I thought the police shot them all except one?
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 3 weeks ago:
Yes I know that. But again that’s not my point. The point is that we need to come up with a better method than bars.
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 3 weeks ago:
I meant in the notification bar, without having to install a 3rd party tool, either.
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 3 weeks ago:
It’s almost as if some simple bars aren’t enough information to accurately convey connection quality. I really wish someone would come up with a better system. At the very least, there should be a way to convey more than just signal strength.
At the very least, we should also be able to see signal-to-noise, tower saturation, connection speed, and the modulation scheme being used. All useful information for determining how good of a connection you’re really getting.

I think psychedelics only have that effect on people who are capable of feeling empathy.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 3 weeks ago:
I know and I don’t watch any of that. Stremio replaces every streaming app except YouTube, so those are the only two apps I need on my TV.
- Comment on CNC 3 weeks ago:
We don’t talk to police, we don’t make a peace bond.
We don’t trust in the judicial system, we shoot guns.
We rely on the streets though we do battle in the hood.
I was born in the G Code, embedded in my blood. - Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 3 weeks ago:
Cause there’s nothing else to watch.
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 3 weeks ago:
Well I too visited in the summer, and hugely regretted not bringing a sweater, so I don’t know what to tell you.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 weeks ago:
$50 is a lot to spend on booze. I can just stay and home and black out on $5 with a beer and three 100 proof shooters.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 weeks ago:
Or maybe I’m just introverted.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 weeks ago:
How can anyone afford to go to bars anymore? Drinking at home is much cheaper.
- Comment on Jurassic Park 4 weeks ago:
They did in Jurassic World, but I don’t remember any mention of the dinosaurs being inaccurate in JP.
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 4 weeks ago:
Then why bother commenting?
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 4 weeks ago:
Not only is it windy, it’s cold as fuck when you’re standing in the shadow of a building, even in the summer. And there a lot of buildings blocking the sun in NYC.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah sorry about that; you’re probably talking about my comment from the other day lol.
Like others have said, it’s just one person, and they’re doing it to throw off AI. Problem is that one sample point isn’t going to be enough. You’d have to get millions on board. The only that one person is doing is annoying everyone else.
- Comment on Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship? 4 weeks ago:
IDK why but my state’s governor also backed internet censorship, and now I need a VPN just to look at porn.

Jarcasm?
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 5 weeks ago:
I rather be a Boomer than be foolish enough to pay $60 every year for the same exact game. Pokémon has changed so little that I could pick up a modern title 20 years after playing my last one and still know exactly how the game mechanics work with no tutorial.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 5 weeks ago:
Nintendo deserves every bad thing that happens to them. They’re never getting a single penny from me ever again.
