- Comment on Low flow toilets 1 day ago:
The one I got off Amazon for like $25 is only slightly more difficult than replacing your toilet seat. Remove the existing toilet seat, screw this one in, put your toilet seat back on, connect to the water inlet the toilet uses. About a 30-45 minute job in total.
There’s no electronics because it uses the water pressure to push the water through, so it’ll work even with the power out.
Especially good for renters because it’ll be just as easy to remove and leaves no permanent change.
- Comment on Forced to lie on a questionnaire 4 days ago:
I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)
But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.
- Comment on Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit 5 days ago:
I wondered about this. Would they be in violation if these were mods made by them that they received no additional payment for? Does it matter if it’s released officially or by individual accounts of the devs?
Thankfully Nintendo can’t do shit about every day modders.
- Comment on Palworld's newest patch stops you from gliding with your Pals, and yes, it is because of Nintendo's lawsuit 5 days ago:
Here’s one of the more famous ones people know of …wikipedia.org/…/Universal_City_Studios,_Inc._v._….
To summarize, Nintendo was getting sued by Universal Studios because of Donkey Kong’s likeness to King Kong, name and the fact h they’re both gorillas.
Ironically, Nintendo chose Universal to make the recent Super Mario movie.
- Comment on Palworld's newest patch stops you from gliding with your Pals, and yes, it is because of Nintendo's lawsuit 5 days ago:
As if I needed more reasons not to like Nintendo.
Truly turned into the bad guys they had to fight against in their early days in the video game industry over frivolous lawsuits.
- Comment on Minecraft’s VR support is now gone 6 days ago:
I liked playing in VR from time to time. Why remove it? I don’t get that. I can understand not including new features for it, but why remove it from the game?
- Comment on Ubisoft patch Splinter Cell Blacklist after 12 years to add achievements 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s why they’re doing it only for the new ones lol. Nobody cares to play their new crap so nobody is noticing
- Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen? 2 weeks ago:
It’s one of my favorite shows, definitely my favorite ending to a show, but I don’t blame you for ending there.

Obligatory Skylar White singing happy birthday song to Ted on Breaking Bad.
Why did they do that…

Damn I just started watching it. Wasn’t heavily invested in it, but that was quick.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.
So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 3 weeks ago:
Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.
Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 3 weeks ago:
It’d be nice but would hurt indies because indies thrive due to not needing a physical port, and only releasing one once they are popular and successful enough to afford it.
I guess you could include some verbiage that would target AAA studios, but they’ll find a way around it like they do everything else.
And at this point, I’m not really fond of most AAA titles anyway so this won’t do much for people like myself to care anymore. Physical releases are something I care about less since other issues have arisen over the years, specifically in the quality of the game, itself.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 3 weeks ago:
I am blown away by KDEnLive and how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up to learn it.
It’s as simple as the classic Windows Movie Maker but also just as capable as iMovie or what little I did in FinalCutPro on a Mac.
One feature I love on this is that I was editing a video on my Windows gaming PC and have the files all on the cloud. I then loaded that same project on my Linux laptop and it gave me an error that it didn’t have the media… however…it would parse a folder FOR ME and then add that media back into the project. In minutes I had the complete video timeline just as it was on my Windows machine now on my Linux laptop.

Rainbow Six Patriots.
Instead we got another MMO game…yay…….
- Comment on Apple TV+ Comedy 'Mythic Quest' Canceled 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I just watched the first episode a few weeks ago and it was not my thing. It was like I understood it’s a joke and why it’s funny, but I just couldn’t laugh.
I wonder if my expectations were too high.
- Comment on What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t do food deliveries anymore but when I did, almost always did the food come in a paper bag that had a sticker over it which would let you know if someone tampered with it after the food was prepared, i.e. the driver. The drinks also came with a sticker over the top of it to cover both the lid and the insert for the straw so you’d know if someone removed it.
I’ve gotten them recently when doing curbside pickups at places like McDonald’s too.
I think streamers would know their food was tampered with. Unless someone was extremely careful, but that’s difficult when dealing with the paper bags and stickers.

- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 5 weeks ago:
It’s ironic considering their early days in gaming. They were targeted by Universal over a BS lawsuit for using “Kong” in Donkey Kong and him being a gorilla like King Kong.
Now they’re pulling the same crap on smaller people/businesses and also working with the very company who did the lawsuit to bring their games to the movies.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 5 weeks ago:
This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.
If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 5 weeks ago:
Someone corrected me the other day on here that it’s not all games that are doing that but only some will be a game key and others will be the full game. I’m assuming that all first party titles will be the game key since this is largely about piracy and not allowing people to easily dump the game from the cartridge like people did for the Switch.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 5 weeks ago:
Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t?
I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 5 weeks ago:
They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.
That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 1 month ago:
I’ve been really liking the art style of the Common Side Effects tv show. It’s like anime but very western in feel with just the right amount of CGI, where it’s not too much but used in the right angles.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
When I sleep at my mom’s house, there’s a smart lamp my brother put in the spare room that has 1 USB port on it and a wireless charging pad. I opt to use the wireless charging pad at night for my phone and the USB for my watch. Makes it so I can charge two devices simultaneously without having to switch out USBs.
in a car, having wireless charging pad is nice for the convenience of taking it with you and putting it on very quickly and easily, especially if you’re actively driving and just want to do it with the least amount of distractions. Even with USB type C being reversible, you still need to make sure the cable gets in the hole and that’s dangerous to do while driving. But with a wireless pad, you don’t have to look and the magnet helps guide it on correctly for you. You still shouldn’t do this while driving, but out of the two, a vastly safer alternative. Besides that, it’s nicer to be able to just grab your phone and go when leaving the car and also easier when entering. Another addition is that a wireless charging pad takes the place of two accessories and combines them together. So you now have a mount and a charger in one instead of both being separate.
Hygienically speaking, it’s cleaner in that you don’t have to touch the charger. Best for public use like a coffee cafe. People are gross and I try my hardest not to have touch contact with stuff if I can help it. So to be able to drop my phone down without touching a cable a million other people have been touching helps with that too.
Even though I like it…I still want a port. A lot of cases don’t allow you to make direct contact to have wireless charging, so it’s not always an option. Also don’t always want to have my phone laying down, sometimes I want to use it while it’s charging, especially when typing, and that’s near impossible with 90% of charging pads unless it’s a special type of MagSafe for iPhones. Then there’s also the fact that I like it as an option in case something breaks. If the port is dirty or damaged, I still have the wireless charging option. Same in reverse if the wireless function ceases to work for some reason.
- Comment on Tencent hand Ubisoft a big wad of cash to spin out Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six as a separate business 1 month ago:
Welp, guess there goes any chances of a single player Rainbow Six. Corporate greed won’t want to lose all these mindless idiots willing to keep putting money in a 10 year old multiplayer game.
I hope I’m wrong. Was so excited for Patriots before they scrapped it for this abomination over a decade ago.
- Comment on What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long? 1 month ago:
Rick and Morty. I enjoyed the first 3/4 seasons and then in season 4, it just stopped being what it was for me. I can’t really describe why but I lost interest and haven’t gotten back. Losing Justin Roiland cemented that too. Not saying he should’ve stayed, just not having him on anymore made me further lose interest even if he wasn’t providing much to the content of the stories. I know that I would be constantly focused on how that’s not him anymore behind the voices and it would be distracting for me.
I really liked the show and enjoyed the humor. Being a fan of sci-fi, adult cartoons, and comedy all coming together like that was something I appreciated like Futurama or Venture Bros. I did cringe at a lot of the fan base, but I liked the show for what it was.
- Comment on Steam hits a another all-time user record with over 40 million online 2 months ago:
What’s better is requiring games to not be tied to any launcher. There shouldn’t be a need for a game to be constantly connected to the internet and need a secondary app running in the background.
But with the way it is now, I loathe the other launchers besides Steam. Steam actually provides some value and not completely unnecessary bloatware. Steam has my friends on it and has meaningful ways for me to engage my friends inside and outside of games. Steam has dedicated forums and mod queues built right into it. Steam has a great refund policy, including games that go back on their unwritten and written promises months or years after release (think Helldivers 2).
Whereas the other launchers are just cheap knockoffs for the sole purpose of corporate branding and to escape the Valve tax (which I can understand is a bit much to charge 30% just to be on Steam) that don’t work nearly as well and haven’t for many years, with ugly redesigns being the biggest changes they’ve made since their original releases. It’s coincidental how EA and Ubisoft look exactly the same in their newest redesigns and theirs plus Epic’s all have that same annoying bug that doesn’t actually remember your username and password and will require you to verify even though you checked the box to remember this PC.
Either way, I wish I didn’t need any launcher, including Steam, to launch games I paid for. It’s comical I can have that experience by pirating the game and the company generates no money from me and I get exactly what I wanted.
