- Comment on Horizon Chase Turbo is getting delisted after the Epic Games layoffs 14 hours ago:
That’s too bad. I’ve not played the sequel, but this is one of the only games I played on mobile first and later on desktop. It’s honestly a great way to kill a couple hours.
- Comment on Spider-Man getting a bunch of good looking love interests while the writers simultaneously make his life shit: 1 day ago:
Not just good-looking. MJ is regularly portrayed as a competent journalist who’s willing to take risks to get her story. And Gwen Stacy is a biochemist. Peter has standards!

I’m sort of the opposite. I usually aim for their advertised meal. If they mess that up, I know it’s not worth returning.
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 days ago:
I remember when there was an Unreal Tournament beta in development that they canned the moment ForkKnife popped off. I’m still sour they stole what might have been a great modern follow-up to my beloved UT2004 (UT3 doesn’t count 😠)

fhwa.dot.gov/…/crosswalk_marking_selection_guide.…, Page 22. It’s not one of the official crosswalk selection options.

The old design has the rainbow across the crosswalk, which actually does go against traffic safety standards, so the reason for it gaining the attention to get removed may not have been valid, but the actual removal reason was. And to show faith, they just redesigned it to meet standards. Here’s the original design:

I’m really struggling to figure out what word they felt was so bad they needed to censor it for such an innocuous meme.

I mean they technically still can pour it down the drain. They just shouldn’t.

This is actually one I didn’t know about. A small gesture, but a pleasant one. Of course the only story that made the front page was the one that sparked outrage when it was originally removed.

Well now I have a delicacy called the toast sandwich.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
They’re being very careful about cutting almost immediately after the DLSS is turned on. It all looks like printed media, not actual video. There’s something very off about the way the details just sort of track along the normals of the surface. Maybe something I’d enable as a novelty in a few rare cases, but certainly not something I’d use to replace any existing solutions.
- Comment on Confidence is important 1 week ago:
From experience, learning to kickbox actually did massively improved my confidence. I can genuinely recommend it.
- Comment on [question] help me pick a game 1 week ago:
I’ve played through a few different ways. I’ve only found one ending that sank in and to me personally it feels like the true ending
Tap for spoiler
Where you take the fully selfish route and have to get your cybernetics fully removed and go to a life of being a civilian

There was a suspension of disbelief until I saw the “Ribbed for Xtra pleasure”
- Comment on That's the feeling. 2 weeks ago:
I finally broke off my dependency from Windows last year. Still have the Mac for music, but not having to deal with a single Windows update or bug for six months has been such an improvement.
I’ve always said that with Linux, it’s a buggy, under-development experience, but the mistakes are honest. When one of the biggest companies in the world can’t stop from putting out one broken update after another, all for the sake of short-term profit, I had to just call it quits completely.

This isn’t aimed at the person making the video because there’s about 1000 videos like it, but these videos I find are rarely a help. They walk you through enough to follow the instructions found on their official documentation and then the presenter is like, “and there you have it!”
There’s always so many things glossed over and no matter who you are 12 minutes will never be enough to introduce Docker. And yet you will find video after video of people doing 10-minute Docker tutorials.
There are just so many things ignored like how to setup reverse proxies, file locations/permissions, backups, and more that all get obfuscated by Docker and people never mention in these videos. Why do people keep making this style of introduction?
Anyone can follow the first three steps of a GitHub Readme. It’s the 10 steps after that a beginner would want to know about and that’s right where all these videos end.

An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.

- Comment on I am an amateur propagandist. A hobbyist. Enthusiast, if you will. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.
- Comment on You could be entitled for compensation 3 weeks ago:
Haha yeah. That’s where I recently learned about it myself. They’ve been on a hot streak of some really fantastic videos as of late.
- Comment on You could be entitled for compensation 3 weeks ago:
It’s kind of wild just how useful asbestos actually was. Aside from the obvious issues, it was genuinely a miracle material that did all sorts of cool things. Too bad our insides hate it more than just about anything else.

It sits in a read only container anyway. Worst someone could do is wreck my config.
- Comment on Incel propaganda in my music app 4 weeks ago:
I personally use Jellyfin because it means I can have a public-facing page with a login that I can access from any device with a web browser, including at work, without having to install software or use my VPN. I do organize everything meticulously on the backend, but it’s just way more convenient for portability.

Don’tBe Evil (as possible) - Comment on Go ahead, take one 4 weeks ago:
Fun story about these. When I was a kid and first came across these, my classmates had convinced me that lemon was the weakest flavor. This meant that when I had one, it was way too strong, and I assumed all the others must be worse, so it was the flavor I always picked when offered.
Moral of the story: don’t always take others word for it and be willing to try options that you’ve been told are wrong.
- Comment on Is spreading. 4 weeks ago:
It’s almost like people have several unique sets of needs for an operating system and the community works to fill those voids as best as possible with no expectation of financial gain and so things aren’t as polished because of it.
But the company with near unlimited budget can’t figure out how to keep their OS from deleting people’s files and crashing.

“Man, I’ve had a headache for a long as I can remember.”
“Here, try some aspirin. At least give it a shot.”
“No thanks, I need the headache. It lets me play Fortnite.”
- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 4 weeks ago:
I get one full priced game maybe once every two or three years. Most of the time, Steam sales are my friend.
