- Comment on Ive won a game but I'm not a gamer is there a way of donating it to lemmy somehow? 6 days ago:
Where did this come from? If a graphics card, it may be difficult to gift it.
I had this happen a short time ago where I got a new GPU and they gifted me a game I already owned and I tried giving it away on here and found that I had to run through all these time based verifications and basically only I could redeem it.
If you have just the Steam key, you can give that to someone and they can claim the game and that’s that. But you may not want to post it directly on somewhere because bots are known to roam the internet and steal them first to sell them on weird websites.
- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 1 week ago:
I’m not familiar on that platform, unfortunately, as I’m on iPhone.
But I think you should still be able to use virustotal’s website on mobile to check websites and also files.
There may be a sandbox app available for Android, but I’m not aware of any particular ones to recommend.
- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 1 week ago:
You can check URLs and files at virustotal.com for free.
If you have Windows 10/11 Pro and your computer supports virtualization, you can enable the Windows Sandbox in Windows Features too. This creates a temporary virtual machine with the bare essentials and no antivirus built in for testing stuff like this to see what the worst case scenario is if you visited/accessed.

Lmao guess I’m not a real fan then!
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft does this to our users at my job. They go to charge their password and it won’t accept it but won’t tell them what the requirements are. “Your password doesn’t meet our criteria.” Okay, so what are you looking for???
Worst is that there seems to be a soft block at some point and instead of telling them that, it shows this dumb error instead over and over again no matter what password they choose.
- Comment on Low flow toilets 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 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? 5 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.
- Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen? 5 weeks ago:
Obligatory Skylar White singing happy birthday song to Ted on Breaking Bad.
Why did they do that…

That’s a sweet looking GPU

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!) 5 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!) 5 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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)? 1 month 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 Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split? 1 month ago:
I have no idea how I missed that in the title because that’s the only thing I was wondering about lol

- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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.
