- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 4 days ago:
Oh no, it’s absolutely not done anywhere near as much as it should be. What I mean is that I think this is still the easier route than just continually destroying robots because they’ll simply beef up security more and more until we can no longer overcome it.
- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 5 days ago:
This is easily solved by heavily taxing the rich instead of banning innovation.
- Comment on What is wrong with Pop OS? 2 weeks ago:
I dislike Pop!_OS because it just didn’t seem keyboard-friendly to navigate. I like enviros that at least try to cater somewhat to mouse-averse people like me who aren’t capable of jumping to 100% Terminal action.
- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 3 weeks ago:
They should fuse it with that ground RPG and make their own co-op No Man’s Sky.
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 3 weeks ago:
I just want the same interface from Y2K that runs so fucking fast my eyes can’t keep up with my fingers.
This is literally what Linux is always like and it never slows down even after decades.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
Rinse after you eat anything (or drink anything other than water) and you’ll never get cavities.
- Comment on I will teach you dingleburgers if it's the last thing I do 1 month ago:
Oh. I didn’t know as I heard it wasn’t really worth reading nor watching… Thanks for the enlightenment.

the restaurant at the end of the universe
What the hell am I reading? LOL!
- Comment on People who have legally changed their first or last names (marriage not included), what is the reason you changed it? 1 month ago:
You don’t have to type the word “Title”; you can just leave it blank.
Anyway, I feel obliged to contribute: I haven’t changed my name, but if I did, I would change it to a name that I simply happen to like better and feel like I would be more empowered by. There’s nothing wrong with my current name though.
- Comment on Do people in real life actually care who dates who and who is in or out of "people's leagues"? 1 month ago:
They tend to in more conservative circles, yeah.
- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 2 months ago:
You’d still need ridiculous amounts of energy to simulate even a small fraction of our world, on the level of thousands of galaxies’ energy per second. Dr. Blitz is a literal astrophysicist who addresses this matter: www.youtube.com/@blitzphd
- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 3 months ago:
We cannot be living in a simulation because the amount of energy to simulate and calculate all the possible atoms, quarks, and other particles and all their simultaneous interactions every fraction of a millisecond would far exceed an exponent of zillions upon zillions of all the possible energy that could ever exist. We wouldn’t even begin to be able to comprehend anything.
“Well… the forerunners’ physics operate differently, duh!”
Uh… if you were to believe that delusion, then I wouldn’t know what to tell you; then you could just rig whatever answer you want to anything. And even if that were true, then the “real” world must be so vastly different from anything we could possibly connect with or perceive that it wouldn’t be relatable anyway and would therefore be worthless or just academic to think about. I guess you don’t want to hear it but this is unfortunately our actual life and that guy was just weird. Ask him if you can buy any potions from him next time or something.

I hope they eventually crumple from hiring stupider and stupider team leads, then.

it had a tremendous effect on my actual worldview
How so?
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 6 months ago:
Dang. I wish I could enjoy replaying it, but nothing will capture the magic of the first time. I always love watching others experience my enjoyed titles live for their first time, though.

I didn’t realize that it wasn’t digital all this time. Digital is the only way to play such titles, haha.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 8 months ago:
Oh, Sans is smarter than that; he’d say how you can’t refund because you’ve already played for way more than 2 hours to get this far. If anything, he would mention your actual playtime statistic in his dialogue.

Sounds like a video game’s name.

Right, there’s a reason it’s called “work” and not “fun!”

Nnnnnnoooooow you’re talkin’ my fantasy!
- Comment on Reddit lost it 8 months ago:
Yeah, until they start choking you to death due to falsely thinking that that’s what you want. Sounds like a fun temptation but it’d still be ultimately introducing more IoT into my home, which is a “no” from me, dawg, due to hacking risk.

Universal Paperclips is such a great browser game, as buggy as it may (have) be(en).

Oops, I misunderstood and agree; I didn’t realize a second launcher was the issue here. That is messed up.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 8 months ago:
I am aware of this list. Try comparing it to itch.io and GOG, though.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 8 months ago:
Thanks for the context, which led me to downvote this post. Come on, guys; not all complaints are valid.
