• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK: how Russia, China and US groups are spreading lies online about London⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This tactic is being done to many cities in the US as well to drive the narrative that liberal cities are decrepit shit holes. Wouldn’t be surprised if most cities suffer these attacks. I know I’ve seen it with Paris.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The blue light from your phone isn't ruining your sleep⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a small point. The larger point is people’s lifestyles. While there may be a small subset of the population that is especially sensitive to blue light for most people it comes down to your lifestyle and how and when you are exposed to light. More blue light, specifically sunlight earlier in the day is better. As evening approaches dial back your exposure to blue light. Same with the content you consume. Read the social media and bad news in the morning, less in the evening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s anything other than unreal engine then no. If it’s UE then I will wait and then read about issues. If I see the same lazy bs then I’ll pass.

  The kunio series was always fun to play. I remember spending a lot of time with crash n the boys street challenge because I could utilize the turbo functionality of my nes advantage controller to do crazy stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which wired earbuds do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use cheap 10 dollar Pioneer buds. They sit in my ear better than more expensive models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBC Interview abruptly ends after New Yorker blames private equity and landlords for the city's issues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  She visibly flinches when he mentions private equity. Its like the news station has repeat training classes for employees on banned topics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see that. I probably only enjoyed it because I hunted down the story in the other sources provided. I also enjoyed the fishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why you gotta diss my boys like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks way better. The other game doesn’t look like a Castlevania game. COuld just be the art direction isn’t for me but I prefer the HD-pixel art and detailed backgrounds here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks great. Kind of how is think a modern Castlevania game would look. Definitely didn’t think GoW would be the ones to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard the sequel isn’t as good as the first? I pretty much forgot this game existed though. I’ll grab the directors cut on sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Foundry: Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar is a Motion Clarity Revelation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So annoying this is hardware tied to the monitors. This is the new gsync premium tax. The vast number of features monitors can have these days make it a proposition of Goldilocks proportions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers wins lawsuit against Colorado. Judge claims there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of blame going towards gas stove users but there is also a concerted effort from the gas industry with propaganda and fighting off these regulations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He says he applied for the job in the 70s and was the only applicant. I can only imagine how many applications would be received if a similar job was posted today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a 55 inch plasma TV and that thing is massive. When I bought it, it was larger than I wanted to get. I don’t get why people are shoving these massive screens in their living room to watch the nightly news.

  If you aren’t sitting pretty close to a giant screen there isn’t a discernable difference. People are just buying into marketing because there has to be something new to make you buy all your stuff over again.
