- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 2 weeks ago:
Some might crash. We absolutely fixed bugs like that.
There were lots and lots of failure modes.
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 2 weeks ago:
Y2k “happened”, we just fixed 99.999% of the problems.
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 2 weeks ago:
Computers were going to crash. The ones most at risk potentially didn’t talk to the Internet (but ran core systems, including core banking, airline, defense, etc systems). Fortunately - except very very few cases - they were all fixed before y2k. Since it was an incredibly well-publicized, fixable problem that everyone mobilized on.
The much bigger impact to the nascient Internet was the dot com bubble burst not too long after. Then what REALLY changed things was smartphones.
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 2 weeks ago:
That really changed more in 2008+ with the invention of smartphones.
- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 weeks ago:
I definitely wouldn’t have gotten one if it was more than the $350 I paid. Although after I got one I would have considered paying more.
Noooo way would I pay $750+
- Comment on Fallout lead Tim Cain argues games industry crisis hasn't reached the level of the 1983 crash: 'I don't think there's ever been a worse time in the games industry' 4 weeks ago:
Also even if it was only 15 years I’m struggling to understand the “crisis now” part.

As long as I can carry an insane amount of crap and force vendors to buy it all from me - baskets, clothes irons, forks - then I will 1000% buy it
- Comment on PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers 4 weeks ago:
The PC I built in like 2018 for like $650 is still playing all the games I want. Last year I upgraded the video card to an RTX 2070S for $210.
I can stream to every room in the house, I have saved wag more in game prices than the entire console would have cost me. Let alone those subscription prices.

Or it’s someone/thing else that is “dying” over and over and that is part of the plot

I’m hoping for something under $70 even though I know there’s no chance.
- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 2 months ago:
I think it definitely makes sense and I’m not sure I’d notice if I read it. I might assume it is a localized English thing (“how are you going” in Australis, or “standing on line” in New York)
- Comment on Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine 2 months ago:
Not for today’s sad prices. Holy moley.
- Comment on MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam 2 months ago:
Art style is amazing and extremely well-executed, but yeah, the gameplay sadly never did anything for me. Also there was something about the sound design and especially the story that just…didn’t click for me. There just wasn’t much fun for joy in it.
