- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 3 days ago:
Subverse is really funny in its writing and the renders are high quality as expected of StudioFOW.
The “connect”-style game loop on dates of HuniePop is actually pretty fun to play.
- Comment on The average age of Disney princesses is 505y. 6 days ago:
I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s an accepted term anymore, but you reminded me that they used to call the triple X chromosome syndrome by the term Super-Female-Syndrome.
Probably not what the author intended though.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 weeks ago:
Something like meningitis or the MMR seem to be much much longer lasting, when you’ve had your shots you don’t need them again.
Right, yes. Sorry, I was implicitly assuming this was about Covid Vaccines again, which seem to be the focus of “Vaccine Skeptics”
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 weeks ago:
Not bad. Grabbing them right by their military worship.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 weeks ago:
Years after? That would be great news.
I thought the protection period was way shorter, on the order of one year?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I don’t even have one that expensive, even now that I earn enough. Anything above $2000 is just going into silly territory where the marginal improvement per dollar increase is weak.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 3 weeks ago:
You can run more than one OS with secure boot enabled. It’s just a pain in the ass.
Weird, for me it was just flicking the switch in UEFI and now Grub and trough it Windows 10 and Fedora 43 boot in Secure Boot.

Secure Boot isn’t Tivoization because you can enroll your own keys.
- Comment on Water Snek 3 weeks ago:
29 hours and 4 minutes actually.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 3 weeks ago:
Metro Exodus. Opening up the map was a mistake. The linear levels were fine, that gives you tight pacing and you always know what’s next. The confined underground spaces were part of the soul of that series. I only played maybe 8 hours of Exodus and can’t be bothered to play more.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, Fable III was a brutal step back. You couldn’t even equip clothing pieces individually anymore, and the whole “you’re king now, better collect enough money in time” sucked too.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 3 weeks ago:
Up to the third comma, yes, but all the rest seems to go beyond that pretty arbitrarily.
When they say anything that “may damage the goodwill of the corporation”, and qualify that with “in the sole discretion of the Corporation” that just means “anything we don’t want to be associated with, and we will be the judge of that”.
That’s what makes it so vague, how is a Merchant or an Acquirer supposed to know what Mastercard might find damaging to the goodwill? They have to guess, or use trial and error*. Most will just err on the side of caution, which means customers get blocked from even more purchases, just to be safe.
* Or talk to Mastercard, which Valve apparently tried, but they wouldn’t respond.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 3 weeks ago:
Brilliant, just make your rules vague and force everyone else down the chain to self-censor. Surely this will result in the best outcome.
Fucking mastercard
- Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike 3 weeks ago:
Clever! So the first drone simply brings a self disassembly kit, a handsaw and some tourniquets.
- Comment on Anon is unaware he's at risk for a heart attack 3 weeks ago:
Good title, when the twist came it gave me a secondary chuckle
- Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike 4 weeks ago:
The article says that one drone was shot down and one crashed under the weight of the ebike.
A soldier will be significantly heavier than an ebike. And you can risk them being shot down less than just the bike
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 4 weeks ago:
It’s either exactly the same, or it’s gracefully degraded. You’re asking for two opposite things at once.
For what it’s worth I support the notion that fundamental functionality should be supported without Javascript, with good old form submissions.
But I also recognise that you can’t get the exact same behaviour without javascript initiated background GETs and POSTs. Easy example: A scrollable map that streams in chunks as you move it.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 4 weeks ago:
OP really muddled the waters by writing:
exactly as it does with javascript turned on
That’s obviously impossible and wouldn’t be degraded.
- Comment on crypto investment 5 weeks ago:
1,000 x 365,000 = 1,000,000 every three years or so
Something is amiss there. Your years seem about a thousand times too long
- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 5 weeks ago:
If I had to guess the omptimum would be around 26. Not too much younger, and looks not too much older. Good luck haha.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 5 weeks ago:
“Select language” is to mark the language you are using in your posts and comments. Don’t know for what, maybe for others to filter stuff out?
- Comment on W.XP 1 month ago:
Has not happened yet. I keep a copy around in a VM for old games.
- Comment on Let people enjoy things 🙄 1 month ago:
I think that makes sense too. Sure a drunk cyclist is less of a problem than a drunk motor vehicle operator.
But as the third party you still don’t want 100 kg (200 pounds) of dude and aluminium frame running into you at 20 km/h (12.4 mph), if you are a pedestrian, a second cyclist, or a biker.
- Comment on Let people enjoy things 🙄 1 month ago:
Yikes. Did he make through?
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 1 month ago:
Yes, which is why everyone of even mild intelligence knows to check the results
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 month ago:
The argument is utterly stupid.
Ignoring that the it’s building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 1 month ago:
Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.
- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 1 month ago:
The company has not released information on whether, or how long, it has spent mapping out or testing the driverless technology on Austin’s streets.
That’s being too nice, the CEO is clearly proud of not mapping cities, as seen in the tweets. The journalist should call it out explicitly. “They are probably not mapping as suggested by the CEO’s public posts.” That’s not too much of a leap.
- Comment on Anon plays cyberpunk 1 month ago:
In that case you can play Witcher 3 instead, I’ll allow it
