- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Oh Minecraft. She’d get bored with an open world sandbox. Maybe there are mods or something that are more story driven, but that’d ruin my nostalgia for the game. Bit of a pickle!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
She won’t like a survival crafter, but I do!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
I know and like almost all of these games! Unfortunately I don’t think she’ll like any of them. Maybe some of the early levels of dungeon defenders.
RoboQuest caught my attention. While I generally don’t gravitate towards roguelikes or FPS’s, the combo has my interest piqued!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
That looks like a lot of fun! Not sure if she’ll like the builder element but it looks simple enough.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Overcooked: Looks cute, frantic, and fun! Super mario 3d world: Feeling meh about it. Limbo: Single player. But looks like something I might like. INSIDE: Also single player. But somerhingt we both might like.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Maybe. I like a farming sims but I think it might be a hard sell. Though the cute graphics might help. How in the going in to town portion of the game? Does it have RPG elements? While I like that kind of thing, I don’t think she will.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
I think she’d enjoy that. And good to know there are several in the series so we can pick up the next ones if we end up enjoying it. Thanks!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I could convince her to play a tower defense style game. But it looks like MY kind of game, so thanks for the recommendation!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Thanks! While I’ve heard of the franchise, I’ve never actually played a Rayman game before. But a local co-op platformer sounds good.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
That looks absolutely adorable and I think would be fun. I’ll suggest it, thanks!
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t played that in years but a game I enjoy! I wasn’t aware it had co-op, but I think that’s going to be too slow and involved for her tastes though. But the suggestion is still appreciated.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
This looks great! I hadn’t considered a local co-op but I think I’ve got a second controller kicking around somewhere and could make that work.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
That is quite the list! I know a handful of these but most are new to me. I haven’t gone through it them yet but I wanted to be sure to say thanks for the effort you put in to your reply.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Hmm. Interesting options! I’m not sure if she’d enjoy these types of games. But I can show her the trailer at least. Thanks for the recommendation!
I wish they weren’t EA games. Split Fiction at least doesn’t require an EA account so I’ll show her that one.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
Kind of? I occasionally play them but never finish.
I did take a look at a trailer of the game and it might be something she’d like.

Fair. I hadn’t considered an existing digital library as a vendor lock in.

No love for Microsoft here. Just musing over the question.
The XBox is still a popular console and has fans. A quick search tells me they are holding their share of the market. So maybe that?
- Comment on One man's trash is another man's garbage 2 months ago:
I like 95-00. That’s also the period in time in which I liked Windows, so there’s certainly a correlation there.
- Comment on One wish 2 months ago:
This made me wonder, since the TV series came out a long time ago. Generation X ended ~1980. The original Dragon Ball series started in 1986. So there are Gen X kids (not that you have to be a kid to watch it, but that’s the most likely audience). So there is a time overlap of Gen X kids and Dragonball.
Just musing over that particular thing. I feel it’s safe to say it’s generally outside of Gen X culture.
- Comment on Space jazz music plays in background 5 months ago:
No specific negative association. I can’t say for certain, as it’s too long ago to remember. But I think at one point when I was young i felt more lukewarm about the song, but it was overplayed which soured me.
- Comment on Space jazz music plays in background 5 months ago:
Tangentially related: anyone else have a strong dislike of “Dancing Queen?” That song has annoyed me for as long as I can remember.
Just that song, not Abba as a whole.

- Comment on It's too hot to think of why or how 7 months ago:
Tangential, but anyone passing by this comment and doesn’t like popcorn after working at a theater?
Whenever I see a bowl of popcorn it reminds me of that smell of popcorn and coke mixed together in a garbage can. It’s not so bad that I don’t eat it at all. But if I do, I have very little.

Thanks for the tip!
- Comment on What is the definition of concurrent vs cumulative? 8 months ago:
Cumulative: 123456
Concurrent: 1 2 3 4 5 6
(Imagine the concurrent numbers all overlapped with each other for greater effect.)
- Comment on [Marvel] There Is No Getting Back On This Ride 8 months ago:
I don’t even know what the movie is about. I’ve seen an ad for it a few times. It didn’t give much of an indicator of the plot. I remember it saying something to the effect of “it’s the best Marvel movie since Endgame” and showed a high Tomatoes score. Which all felt to me like them saying “this one is good, promise!”. It left me with an overall poor impression.
All that said, I’ll likely still watch it. I will generally enjoy them.
- Comment on How do man made hiking trails keep the grass from overgrowing? 9 months ago:
I built an office shed in my back yard. Almost all the grass is gone where I walk between the back door and the shed. I do this fairly frequently, but I’d think still quite a bit less than an even lightly trafficked hiking path.
I’ll put some stepping stones out there eventually.
- Comment on I Believe That It's Important For All of Us to Understand What 'Decentralization' Truly Means. Please, Let's Talk About That 9 months ago:
Risk is also a factor re: self hosting.
- You’re exposing potential attack vectors, which is particularly concerning if self hosting = home hosting.
- Also with home hosting, it’s probably against your ISP’s TOS. It is for mine (I actually read it!). Will they do anything? Probably not. But it’s a risk.
- You could face legal issues if someone posts illegal content, since you’re hosting it. Even unwittingly.
Those concerns are what stop me. Because I otherwise think I’d enjoy hosting a little corner in the fediverse.
- Comment on Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification 9 months ago:
They could just deny access without verification. But thinking more broadly there’ll certainly be ways to fool the system. But, shouldn’t have to in the first place.
