With cheap routers, bufferbloat is actually more likely to cause a noticeable slowdown with uploading rather than downloading, since your upload is usually much lower it’s much easier to max it out unless you have a powerful router and/or some good QoS rules defined.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 2 weeks ago:
Almost at 1.3 million! Make sure to vote if you’re eligible and haven’t already, it’s super important. Fuck these greedy companies.
- Comment on Developer interview: my Q&A with a PC game 'repacker' 3 weeks ago:
I definitely agree that this is interesting, this was a great read!
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 3 weeks ago:
I got laid off a few years ago, it also took me 5 months to land a new job. I’m better a couple years later but the first year was a bit scary.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 3 weeks ago:
I’m just worried some of them are botted, especially now that we’re less than 100k away from 1m.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 3 weeks ago:
5 minutes later and it’s 843k, almost 1k signatures per minute, not bad at all!
- Comment on The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead' 4 weeks ago:
Devs geting screwed over by management (not even just game devs but all devs) is a tale older than time, sadly.

I’ve seen him described elsewhere as “a poor man’s idea of a rich man” and I think it’s accurate.
- Comment on A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes 5 weeks ago:
For better or for worse, it’s actually quite different. Many people seem to actually prefer Mario Kart 8 lol
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
I think it was probably more likely the intestinal compression from the cabin pressure of the airplane.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
Funnily enough, I had a bit of acid reflux this morning (I don’t normally but oh well) and I’m drinking water right now lol
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
To be fair, while drinking water is great and everyone should have an adequate fluid intake (if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated), water is not a guaranteed cure for constipation. I was in Paris for a week back in April and the only thing that helped me was taking a ducolax, my digestive system needed a reset after that long international flight and eating different food for a few days.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 2 months ago:
My point was more that games that require the Internet itself, and not just LAN-capable servers, are games that are inevitably going to disappear.
It may seem like I’m splitting hairs but what I said is technically true.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 2 months ago:
Technically 100% do, games that require the Internet require the Internet, which means by design you’re relying on someone else hosting servers which means it may not be available, 50, 100, or even more years into the future. That’s not the case with single-player/offline-available games.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Something tells me their “peepee” never worked to begin with tbh.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Yep, I love the Tomb Raider games too, I still play Rise of the Tomb Raider sometimes, it’s such a great game.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 months ago:
Plus also she’s awesome anyway. What the fuck is wrong with people? Oh I can’t enjoy my vibeo game with a wahmen as main character, it’ll ruin my mood!
That’s what I don’t understand, like, have people not played the Horizon games? They’re awesome, they’re fun as hell.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Pokemon MMOs literally use Pokemon assets as well as trademarked data too, and they’re literally using Nintendo’s intellectual property.
I say they haven’t been taken down, because, I’m playing PokeMMO in 2025 on my PokeMMO account I created back in 2013. PokeMMO has been around for over a decade, Pokemon World Online has been around since like 2007, Pokemon Revolution Online has also been around for a decade, etc.
Do you have any proof of any Pokemon MMOs that have been taken down by Nintendo?
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
You could say that about Pokemon MMOs too, and yet I’m playing PokeMMO in 2025 on my PokeMMO account I created back in 2013.
There are some things Nintendo don’t go after, and there are other things that they do go after. Decomps don’t appear to be something they go after, which is good because then we can get cool ports of older games too.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Why expect this to be taken down if other decomps haven’t been taken down already? Why expect other decomps to be taken down?

They wish they could stop me from emulating old games lol
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
I’m not so sure.
All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that’s pretty significant IMO, but I guess we’ll see.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 months ago:
Agreed completely, I just wish that they would stop remastering Gears 1 only and give 2 and 3 some much deserved love too.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 2 months ago:
It wasn’t a clear end in sight, there was still lots of content and systems that needed to be ported over to the new system, a new payment system to be integrated, and other new features they needed. They had two developers who were familiar with the system, me and another dev. I did kind of suspect that something like this was possible, but I didn’t think they would be dumb enough to actually do it. It turns out, they were dumb enough to do it.
They were just really cheap, and I was most likely their highest paid developer on my team, and myself and another dev were replaced by friends of manager that laid me off.
After that manager laid me off, I asked for a reference or a letter of recommendation, and was ghosted entirely. It happens.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 2 months ago:
I got laid off 3 months after I launched a modern website to replace my former company’s old platform that none of their other developers wanted to work with.
I did exactly what they told me, something they wanted for years and years, and then I got laid off as a thanks instead of a bonus.
lol

- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 3 months ago:
Technically they’re right, which is why pirating Ubisoft games is ethical.

Sure but his doctors are keeping him alive regardless, clogged arteries no problem they’ll clear that right up too.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 3 months ago:
I’d say there’s zero chance, he could probably easily outlive us all somehow.
