  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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really how you use it. In short, a server is what other devices rely on and a computer is used on its own to sometimes connect to a server.

  I have a “server” at home that runs on Windows 11 Pro. There are people who buy (or pirate) the server editions of Windows to use for personal, every day use. Rare, but they exist. Same with Linux, with many distros not having a specialized edition for servers, but people still will use it for a home server or even in a professional setting.

  What separates the two, to explain to a five year old, is how they are used.

  My server at home “serves” up content for me to use on other devices. I have a library of music and movies and TV shows there that is being shared. Additionally, this server sets up the connection and a local website that my other devices can use to access this content. A server is either rarely off or has a set schedule that it is on since it has a purpose that other devices rely on.

  A PC (personal computer) is what you use on a daily basis. This is used either seldomly or at random as it is only being relied upon by a human that will wake it up as they need it.

  In a professional setting, a server will host the application that manages the employees of that organization. This server is like a watchdog on the network, making sure everyone is abiding by the guidelines laid out for this network and using proper security to access computers and other devices on the network. A computer in a professional setting is used as often as a human employee needs it. IT may need the laptop to remote into a server and then turn it off and not use it for a few weeks. The manager opens her computer to log in and run reports and then closes when she’s done for the day.

  Don’t worry about being embarrassed. This is your health and it is important. You don’t want to let things like this go on too long.

  What are your alternatives? Just keep quiet about it and live in discomfort and let it get worse? Or spend a few moments POSSIBLY feeling embarrassed and getting the help you need? I say “possibly” because I doubt your parents will let you feel that way about something that is medically bothering you like this. Good parents will care and do what they can to help you.

  Go get yourself taken care of. This is important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More than that, they don’t lock it down to apps coming from Steam. In a Steam Deck, you can get the app from anywhere, even pirating, if you wish, and it works with Proton.

  And the Steam Deck runs games that didn’t have to come from Steam.

  Valve is legitimately doing things for the customer, even if they aren’t always a customer of Valve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are old ladies so popular on the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is going to definitely come down to a lot of subjective opinions. I was speaking more so in generalities where you’ll likely meet more guys into older women than you will women into older guys. But that also has a lot to do with the ages we’re talking about too because in high school to young adult years, many women definitely prefer older guys, but as women get older, that changes for some women. Whereas most guys seem to be drawn to older women throughout their lives through and through, until you get to a certain age, around midlife crisis age, where more guys do want younger women.

  It also changes depending on cultures too, as I’m speaking for my area which can be drastically different than somewhere else in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are old ladies so popular on the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A few things:

  • experience. There’s a stereotype that older women are more experienced when it comes to sex and know their way around better than a younger woman would in pleasing a man. I think why that doesn’t go the other way is that men stereotypically get more lazy as they get older, finding ways to do less to get what they want or other ways (financial; sugar daddy) and they become less attractive whereas older women can be just as attractive, if not more, as they age or at least know how to maintain their beauty as they age.

  • a bit of taboo. A lot of guys with “mom’s friends”/teacher fantasies. It’s hot to think about one of your mom’s hot friends hitting on you to some guys. Then there’s the taboo of engaging in sexual activities with someone much older than you like your teacher in a setting that isn’t socially acceptable. We like what we can’t or shouldn’t have, often times. Speaking as a guy and having male friends, we’ve talked a bit about our fantasies like this and most of us have these fantasies.

  I just took a Covid test and this literally looked just like the one I took.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently took a test and passed it without studying.

  This was a Microsoft exam for getting a certification relating to my job.

  It’s really because I work in this daily and I know the program in and out enough that I am the one who teaches my colleagues how to use it at work. I was given some instruction by some colleagues and built on that and also watched videos and learned things as I worked in it.

  It’s probably a similar thing for people like this in school too. Some people learned this stuff in earlier years. I remember being in college and some of the stuff being taught was stuff I had already learned before, even as early as 3rd grade in one of my English classes. Then there are also people who have a passion for some subjects and have gone above and beyond in learning the subject outside of school that they’ve already learned what’s being taught in the class. Likely been invested in YouTube videos and making them, themselves, reading various books on the subject, may even have a parent who wrote those books or been heavily involved in the subject, etc.

  It’s not something I often think about, but it comes up. I think there’s a practical reason behind it when it does come up but I’d risk doxing myself if I go into detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone ever look at pictures of themselves as a child and feel no connection to them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel that when looking in the mirror. I sometimes can’t believe that is me. It feels weird, like I’m in someone else’s body and this hasn’t actually been my life.

  Makes me wonder if life is a Twilight Zone episode for me and I just keep waking up as other people but can’t remember it for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Gmail have more spam now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not necessarily Gmail, I have a variety of these free email accounts and my Gmail rarely ever gets spam. But my Yahoo has been getting hit HARD lately.

  This is not unusual for this time of year. At the beginning of each year, this happens.

  My theory is that it’s because in the US, this is when citizens begin working on their taxes and are able to get tax refunds as early as January. This means that malicious actors have a wide variety of money potentially available from these people having money from tax refunds and they have a higher chance of getting more money at this time.

  That’s my theory, anyway. It starts to die down after April, which is the deadline for US citizens to file taxes for the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re expecting the 50 series to have some scarcity issues, so be aware of that. In addition to that, it’s possible that people may scalp up 40 series because of an expected shortage, so be aware of that as well.

  That’s what I experienced when trying to upgrade from the 10 to the 20 even when the 30 came out. People were still hoarding 20 series and I wasn’t able to comfortably upgrade until the 40 series came out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are really great specs and yeah you should be able to run just about anything released so far at the maximum settings with those specs.

  That’s quite the build, a dream for most of us. Lucky boyfriend you got lol

  Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot at every turn they make and making no intention on going back on any of it. Good riddance, Ubisoft. You used to be a company I looked forward to releasing a new game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GDC 2025 survey shows PC game development growing with lots interested in Valve's Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All according to Valve’s plan. No doubt they sell the Deck at a loss because the price is phenomenal for today’s hardware prices on what this can do.

  But they’re definitely making up for it in Steam sales and continued market dominance. Not like they needed the latter since the competition is dogshit with even GOG lacking since they have no official Linux support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your worst relationship and when did you realise it had to end⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently I’d say. She had a lot of good qualities and we had good times, but we ended on a sour note when it became apparent to me that she was selfish and after she gaslit me.

  I had long been bothered by her practically ignoring me after the afternoon hours. I felt really alone most evenings and nights. I’d call her and she wouldn’t answer or text her and wouldn’t hear from her until the next day. I’m 99% sure she wasn’t cheating on me, but nevertheless, it still hurt to know she was often ignoring me.

  When I brought up how lonely I felt, her response was “it’s not my job (to make you not feel lonely)”. I didn’t realize it was…? That’s not at all what I was saying or trying to insinuate. I was trying to make her understand that she would tell me she would call me later that evening and never do so and I would make attempts to contact her and she wouldn’t respond. I felt alone and out of place.

  Then she said some stuff to her ex that made me feel uneasy but I simply asked her to elaborate a bit on what she said. This is when she gaslit me to turn the problem back on me and in my face, saying I was making the situation about myself.

  Then she spent the rest of the day enjoying herself and never once reaching out to me. It was highlighted more so on that day due to it being my dad’s 5th anniversary of him passing. But she didn’t know and I wasn’t holding that against her. It just so happened to coincide on this day and made me realize how selfish she usually was to me and how bothered it made me feel.

  And then funny enough was how she said to me “I reached out to you and I felt alone.” Huh…where have I heard that before? And that remark was made because I simply asked her to elaborate on the weird thing she said to her ex. Saying “a lot would have to change for us to get back together”. The fact you have conversations like this with your ex when we’re supposed to be together is wild on its own, but the fact you said that sounds weird for someone who’s supposed to be in a committed relationship. But I didn’t say that and I didn’t react negatively to it. I simply asked her to explain what she meant by saying that to her ex.

  And her response was to blow up on me for it and say I was making it all about myself 🤷‍♂️

  Oh well. Good riddance to that relationship. I’ve been single ever since but I’d rather be single and at peace than to be treated and talked to like that.

  It’s a shame and I sometimes miss her, but then I’m reminded of that and all the selfish ways she was with me and I’m happy to be single than to be there again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not always, but generally his right more times than not. I was playing with him specifically last night to get him to use the left but he kept using the right.

  I think it depends on his position to me, where he may be comfortable to use his left at some times and that’s when he chooses his left.

  It’s something I just noticed last night so I’m still new to recognizing it as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed this last night with my cat.

  I taught him a few years ago to reach out with his paw to ask for pets and he always seems to use his right paw even though I taught him on both paws. He reaches out his right paw and taps my hand or me elsewhere and brings my hand to his chin to get some pets.

  Just noticed it is always the right but sometimes he will use the left, but he seems to prefer the right.
