- Comment on Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there 1 day ago:
I wonder if he ever made a game about driving Lady Di off a road with papparazzi…
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 1 week ago:
No Man’s Sky has added thousands of generic resource gathering tasks by now!
I have tried playing it maybe half a dozen times and come to the same conclusion each time: “This is it?”
It’s a great game for wasting your time in the most banal tasks possible, but not much more.
- Comment on Games then vs now 1 week ago:
Games back then also had to fit on a specific chip in the cartridge. A lot of them would probably have had a lot more fluff if they had more space to put it on.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 2 weeks ago:
Shocking how I fit all these criteria and still only got two interviews.
And I’m probably pretty lucky.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 2 weeks ago:
Nah, the biggest slice is knowing how to game the application algorithms they use to choose who to even interview.
- Comment on 64$ the ticket, 1040$ surcharge. 2 weeks ago:
The hotels receipts I’ve seen (I worked approving travel expenses, so I’ve seen a lot) they differentiate between specific locally mandated fees and their own fees (which is probably part of the legislation that compels them).

Unfortunately they also come with scurvy 😔

“Yeah, we’re gonna do this new fangled form of piracy. It’s like the old way, but without the boats and parrots and stuff. We’re just stealing stuff now.”

…Pirate hardware?

I think I have it on every game system I have, unless they released an N64 version…
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 4 weeks ago:
By that logic, no media exists (and also always exists) as it occupies a superposition of both being on and not being on physical media.
What the fuck are you talking about? It’s both digital media and physical media. They can not exist without each other. The only difference being that physical media bought in a store is permanently stored on its own medium… and considering we’re talking about permanent storage anyways… what difference would that make?
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 4 weeks ago:
That’s still physical media, though. Just one you “create” yourself. You could say “This isn’t a hunk of plastic, therefore I’m not contributing to e-waste”… but that only matters if you decide to throw away the game after making a copy.
Drives still fail eventually, just like disks and cards.

Works that way on my Samsung as well, you just have to hit the circle button instead of the larger bluetooth button that encompasses it.
- Comment on Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked? 4 weeks ago:
*doesn’t make enough money.
Things that mostly work with occasional minor problems that are easily diagnosed and fixed are still profitable… they just don’t maximise profitability.
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 5 weeks ago:
Marketing videos, mostly. Ostensibly they’re original videos showcasing some of the talent and content from the previous year. The last couple of years have been particularly bland, though, as I understand it.
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 5 weeks ago:
Maybe they just don’t know and are asking for community context.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 5 weeks ago:
You can believe that an answer can be found scientifically. You can have faith that what you see with your eyes, and that what happens during experimentation is accurate and not a fluke or trick of some sort.
Just because religion dominates most belief, and there are strong religious groups that hold that belief and faith are binary with no wiggle room whatsoever does not mean that it’s the only way they can function. On can still test faith and belief without losing them, and changing those beliefs to what holds more truth.
Holding that that belief and faith have no part in science… is a belief in and of itself. A particularly contradictory one at that.

Ah, if it’s one of the definitions, it must be the only definition.

But hey, she listened. Thats something most never do.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
Such as? Perhaps if you specified on what they’re getting a pass for people could be a little less blind.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
As long as that house exclusively uses Linux.

Nah, that’s only like a third of earth’s population, why should they matter?
- Comment on Do you have resting bitch face? 1 month ago:
They’re not necessarily happy, just not as angry as they look. Their neutral face just looks angry, grumpy, or otherwise in a negative state that isnt an accurate accounting of their current feelings.
- Comment on Nearly all drivers say headlights are too bright 1 month ago:
Their height probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue if they lamps were properly hooded/aimed as well.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 2 months ago:
A joke doesn’t have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Sorry, clearly you are far more knowledgeable about such things, despite having nothing more than I do to back it up. I apologize for contradicting your opinion on the internet, that was my bad.

Why does it have to be? It’s basically free money for them, whereas they have to make deals and curate their store front a lot more. Games take time and energy (if you don’t just want AI generated slop, at least), so to get that to market takes time. Whereas microtransaction garbage is basically hit it and quit it and generates insane amounts of money.

It has pools in it!
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 2 months ago:
Isn’t it saying that Enderman’s channel was linked (involved with, co-run by, some other AI based bullshit, etc) to a channel that had copyright strikes, and that the Japanese channel was the one with copyright strikes?
- Comment on If proton decay isn't true 2 months ago:
It was mostly for the joke, as the scientific calculator answer is just the equation written with different notation.
