- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 1 day ago:
Get a Steam Deck OLED if you want a Steam Deck. Don’t wait for a hypothetical next version. I have both the LCD and OLED, and while both are excellent, the OLED is a slight improvement in a few days (lighter, less bezel, 90hz instead of 60hz, obviously you get an OLED screen, and the CPU/GPU are a tiny, tiny bit beefier).

How do I unionize a workplace that hasn’t hired me yet?

Not agreeing to bad employment contracts means being unemployed. All employment contracts are bad.

Good.
Nothing against Portal 2, but Stardew Valley just offers so much more for so much longer
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 weeks ago:
I honestly wish the Dualsense took AAs. I’ve really grown to appreciate how Xbox controllers have always been two AA. Making a small investment in a bunch of Eneloop batteries and chargers is SO worth it.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 weeks ago:
The steam controller takes AA batteries. Doesn’t get much more “standard size” than AA.

- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 3 weeks ago:
Ff16 combat is fun as hell. And FF7 remake/rebirth too. I’m sure I still would have enjoyed both games if they were turn based, as I enjoyed the original FF7 and FF8 back in the day, but I really don’t get the hate for the realtime combat. It’s tight and polished and fun.
- Comment on MAGLEVs Are Quite Terrible, Actually - Adam Something 4 weeks ago:
728 passengers per train on L0 trains vs 1323 on N700 trains, yeah it’s lower capacity but it’s a brand new line that’s adding that much capacity, not subtracting from existing capacity. And they’re already building it, and have been giving passengers rides on the test track for years.
Why would they be better off abandoning proven technology with construction well underway, costs very securely under control, and clear and strong demand, just because some foreigners balk at the cost and timeline? Like, this is Japan, they don’t fuck around with this kind of stuff without damn good reason.
Also worth keeping in mind this speed puts the route in competition with air travel, in terms of cost and energy efficiency, so not only could it relieve some pressure from the Tokaido shinkansen but also regional airports.

He’s full of shit about the Chuo Shinkansen. That’s gotta be one of the best places on the planet to build high speed maglev, from one of the world’s best rail companies with a well deserved superb reputation for punctuality, safety, and quality.
Not often I disagree with Adam Something about anything, but I think he’ll be proven wrong about the Chuo Shinkansen.

- Comment on Postal 2 Redux is bringing back the controversial FPS with a full remaster 5 weeks ago:
As long as they never again include the “::: spoiler spoiler fag hunter :::” arcade/mini game that one of the physical releases had back in the day, and ideally fucking apologize for that shit, cool and I hope it goes well. Apart from that inexcusable bullshit, I’m a huge fan of Postal 2

- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 1 month ago:
That, plus a portable CD-MP3 player, was the bomb.
I still have my iRiver iMP-350, a portable CD player that could read mp3 and wma files off a CD-R or CD-RW, allowing way more than 74 or 80 minutes of audio. Damn thing still mostly works 22 years later too, thanks in large part to them including a 2x AA battery dongle in addition to the gumstick-shaped rechargeable batteries in the main unit which have long since leaked.
When they started selling head units with aux in ports, I had to have one in my car. And when they started putting iPod connectors in head units, perfection.

He acts like a somethingawful/4chan veteran. Every now and then something along those lines slips out and rubs me the wrong way too.
Like he’s often the good kind of libertarian, but occasionally also the bad kind.
