Looks fine to me.
- Comment on The PlayStation Network outage proves PC gamers were right to resist its mandatory sign-in requirement 1 week ago:
If steam goes under, a significant portion of your steam games won’t launch anymore, period. If GOG goes under, you can still use 100% of their installers, provided you still have them backed up. No, they are not going to be able to do that step for you. Did the store you bought physical games from put your discs in storage for you, so they wouldn’t clog up your basement? Did they give you a new copy if you lost or threw out your disc and then changed your mind?

Until the day after Gabe kicks the bucket.

I’m still using that 1080Ti and currently see no reason to upgrade.

Apple does benefit from tech illiterate customers buying a new iPhone instead.

If I could just download right from the Website
You can.
- Comment on The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales 2 months ago:
But then, my steam link could already do that.
- Comment on The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales 2 months ago:
I’m by no means talking about AAA latest and greatest. I tried Everspace 2 and Visions of Mana. Both need considerable tuning down, after which Everspace manages a fluid experience, while VoM still stutters while looking horrible. I haven’t dared to even try the likes of Witcher 3 (which people are talking about playing on the deck). I’ll probably stick with pixel art etc for TV mode, and go back to the ps5 for more demanding things.
- Comment on The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales 2 months ago:
You mean on the small screen, right?
People’s use cases seem to be wildly different from mine. I mainly use it in TV mode as a couch gaming machine. For most modern 3d games you have to turn graphics quality down substantially that way.

I played Witcher 3 day one and have no idea what you’re talking about.
- Comment on Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect 2 months ago:
but I’m back to feeling rather ambivalent about the whole thing, which to my eye looks like nothing so much as an alt-universe Mass Effect.
And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?
More Mass Effect is always a win in my book.
- Comment on nuclear 2 months ago:
My parents have witnessed not one but two nuclear catastrophes in their lifetime. Wtf are you talking about?
- Comment on nuclear 2 months ago:
That must be why it’s still advised to not collect and eat wild mushrooms in parts of southern Germany.
- Comment on nuclear 2 months ago:
Until something goes wrong and it is not safe and controlled anymore. You know, because of the whole exponential chain reaction thing.

Ok Choom.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 2 months ago:
School of the Cat managed to successfully get to a point where 1/10 women survived. School of Crane is the later iteration of the School of Cat, which is why I mentioned them specifically.
Where is this info from? I could only find fan fiction so far.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 2 months ago:
As far as we know it has never been done on a woman or an adult. Also, she already has super powers. Why risk a procedure that only 3 in 10 young boys used to survive?
- Comment on Do linux users have wives? 2 months ago:
Counter question: Is your wife software?

Nah. Cat Eyes and Witcher potions don’t. They have some explaining to do.
- Comment on Split Fiction™ | Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
Never put it past EA to do so.

Looking good. So… does this mean Splitscreen ? Sure looks like it.

So far I see Guardians of the Galaxy with product placement.

Who’s that ugly fucker that took the Leshen’s place?
Anyway, let’s wait and see in what state it releases.
- Comment on We need more turn-based RPGs 2 months ago:
FF 13 was 15 years ago, but it was also only 2 single player titles in the franchise ago if we don’t count remakes. Square Enix is just very slow at making them.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 2 months ago:
and I distinctly said that it should be “a right”
Yes, you did, but you said it as part of an answer to the question “why are landlords considered parasites?”, and you explained that those who own more homes than they can live in are parasites. The logical conclusion (would be that it should be outlawed to be a landlord.
So, how am I to understand that? Should there be a quota, an acceptable amount of parasites so to speak?

People own apartments too. If you can’t own more than one home, surely apartments would also be covered by that?

If that means the government* subsidises it for the low income families (as in owns them and rents them at below market value), so be it.
Not everybody who doesn’t want to buy is low income. I’m too lazy / risk averse to maintain everything myself, so I happily pay my landlord a reasonable premium to bear the risk of shit burning down (or breaking in less dramatic ways) for me. I also like that I would be able to pack up and move without worrying about selling my old place. I might change my mind later on, but right now I’m good.
Why should governments subsidize the lifestyle choice I’m consciously making?

You assume that everybody wants to own and that just isn’t the case.
- Comment on Mitochondria 2 months ago:
not in 12th grade listening to my classmate Jeremy try to read it without having it explained to him first. He kept pronouncing it “ARgul” rather than “arGALL” so he never heard himself say the joke.
Perhaps my English teacher could have done a better job conducting this lesson but was this really a useful exercise in reading comprehension?
My money is on your teacher not knowing the joke either.
