He will die of a heart attack within the next year, but it will be ruled as “natural causes”.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
Exceptionalism and nationalism has more to do with the propaganda people are being fed, and less with the actual reality they are living. It will take more than a hard downturn in quality-of-life I think.
- Comment on Over 20M 'people' listed as 100+ years old in the SS database? 1 month ago:
The language wasn’t the point. The point is that if this data is being retrieved by these young clowns, we can’t trust any of it. There is no good excuse for Elon to have given them this much responsibility.

Occams razor tells me this is most likely caused by shitty SQL by his teenage goon squad

My favourite Pizza place here in Copenhagen also went back to having their own delivery car and bike, to get rid of Wolt (biggest delivery service here). Delivery price and time has improved dramatically.
Why did we sacrifice all these services go stupid apps to begin with?
- Comment on Sony removes PlayStation account requirement from 4 single-player Steam games: Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered 2 months ago:
Enjoy the adventure! Such great games. The Legendary Edition and the SteamDeck is a match made in heaven, except for the piece-of-shit that is the EA launcher/app.

I really hope other publishers will be inspired. Just yesterday I had an hour to kill on a train ride, and wanted to play some Mass Effect on my SteamDeck. It took 25 minutes just to get started, because EA updated their required launcher, which couldn’t be bypassed because it required Internet connection, and then forced the update (which of course bygge out, and had to be redone thrice). A 25 minute boot time for something that doesn’t affect the game the slightest is a terrible user experience.
- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 3 months ago:
I accidentally watched The Substance, and now I want 2.5 hours back.
- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 5 months ago:
Isn’t “heavier” only used when describing weight and not mass?
- Comment on Thronefall's tiny tower defence townbuilding has reached version 1.0 5 months ago:
Great game! I highly recommend watching the creators videos about the development process
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 6 months ago:
Play with a controller. Makes the slippery-ass controls feel way more natural.
- Comment on Anon browses ancient memes 6 months ago:
“every re-run ever” - except when streaming platforms decide to delete stuff forever arbitrarily, because they give zero shits about preservation.
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 6 months ago:
Hades filled a Diablo shaped hole in my heart, after being disappointed by D4. Highly recommend the Hades games.

Never underestimate the effect dust can have on airflow and cooling in general

Homeschooling sure is… Something!
- Comment on AI Cheating Is Getting Worse 7 months ago:
Maybe we need to teach them the kinds of things that AI can’t do, instead of the same old crap?
- Comment on Actors demand action over 'disgusting' video game sex scenes 7 months ago:
Or a simple quick choice during the cutscenes, the first time that kind of scene comes up. Brutal Legend does this in such a great way.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 7 months ago:
It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades
- Comment on ‘Twisters’ Whirling To Great $72M Opening, ‘Despicable Me 4’ Dropping 51% to $21.5M, ‘Inside Out 2’ Seeing $11.1M (-44%), ‘Longlegs’ Seeing $10.2M (-54%) – Friday Midday Update 8 months ago:
The Regulation Podcast made a fantastic summer movie auction game. Maybe Despicable Me will save Nick!.
- Comment on 'LLM-free' is the new '100% organic' - Creators Are Fighting AI Anxiety With an ‘LLM-Free’ Movement 10 months ago:
I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.
- Comment on Hero 10 months ago:
Same. It physically hurts to see talentless suck-ups play the bullshit game and climb the hiarchy, whereas you get punished and kept down for pointing out the bullshit. My best decision ever was to escape the hell that is the field of software development, and instead get into teaching. Now my reward for a job well done is seeing my students succeed and I love it so much.
- Comment on Major ChatGPT-4o update allows audio-video talks with an “emotional” AI chatbot 11 months ago:
The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).
- Comment on Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch 11 months ago:
It’s really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that’s a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it’s the best sequel I’ve played.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 11 months ago:
Teach. I already teach and I would continue to do so even if I had enough money to retire. I just love seeing young people discover the joy of programming and 3D modeling.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 11 months ago:
I think that’s the entire point of this exercise. Thinking about what making the world better would actually mean and entail.

- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 11 months ago:
Just set up Grayjay because of your comment. The seamless integration of both Patreon and YouTube into the same feed is so good. Thanks a lot!
- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 11 months ago:
I had the idea to start counting it as a “Thirst-trap BINGO” each time every single thumbnail for shorts recommendations had a half naked woman with her mouth slightly open. Turns out that it happened more than half the time, and the game quickly got boring.
I have never watched a single short on YouTube, so apparently it’s just the default recommendations that are horny af.
