Hmm, maybe it’s time to try out that game
- Comment on My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card 3 days ago:
Wow first I hear of an issuer doing that, that sucks
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 1 week ago:
Are there any advantages that are worth it for that budget range?
The only one I know of so far was short DDR traces and a reduction to two slots for extreme memory overclocking.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 1 week ago:
It seems to me that mini ITX is small enough to cost a little bit more. The cheapest seem to be micro ATX boards.
Sorry for the unfamiliar platform, but here’s a comparison I recently made for a friend looking to build a computer around the AM5 socket.
mini ITX: www.toppreise.ch/produktsuche/…/Mainboards-c140?s…
micro ATX: www.toppreise.ch/produktsuche/…/Mainboards-c140?s…
1 CHF = 1.25 USD, but of course prices are different across the continents, so a direct comparison would be difficult. I just hope the fundamental price difference between sizes holds globally.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 1 week ago:
I think the big negative is that you can’t keep anything, even when just one aspect if the micro PC really needs an upgrade.
If I were you I’d try to build a cheap computer around the AM5 sicket, using the PSU and Case you already have. Then you have a way forward open.

These dipshits were beating and kicking on the door
Where did you read that? All I’ve read so far was that they knocked and ran.
- Comment on My favorite board game! 2 weeks ago:
Well seems to me you do complete the circuit. With some 1000 Ohm resistance of your body, plus shoes depending on whether you’re wearing them and how you’re posed, plus whatever your floor provides to ground. Tile sounds ideal, but I’m not so sure about wood.
I guess floor heating would not be using metal piping, so at least that’s no shortcut. Maybe rebar could be trouble, but probably the wooden flooring shouldn’t be resting directly on the rebar.
I guess in most normal situations that would be enough resistance. I concede that point.
- Comment on My favorite board game! 2 weeks ago:
If the live side makes contact first you have an issue though. Because then the path to ground passes through the fork, up the handle and through you. Then your muscles tense and you might not make the neutral side connect the other end fork anymore.
- Comment on Can you share 2 weeks ago:
Hopefully it’s “negative”
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 3 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 5 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 5 weeks ago:
Not bad. Grabbing them right by their military worship.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 5 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 5 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 1 month ago:
Secure Boot isn’t Tivoization because you can enroll your own keys.

29 hours and 4 minutes actually.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 [deleted] 1 month 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.
