Yeah that’s true but it’s really just a method to run a more complex userscript, which isn’t really comparable to the element blocking rules that uBlock normally handles.

No worries
- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 5 days ago:
Sorry but that’s just wrong. Ads on Twitch are forced in a way that can’t be easily bypassed locally. That’s why stuff like Twitch AdSolutions exists. The common workaround is using a proxy server in countries that don’t get ads, maybe you live in one of those.
- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 5 days ago:
Yeah but uBlock can’t or at least doesn’t block Twitch ads, so that doesn’t really apply here.

One day I’ll have the courage to directly shut people like that down. Without being condescending or making a scene but just being clear that I’m not interested.

I’m talking about a whole country being obsessed with owning and firing guns. I don’t observe that in Germany. Also a hunters license comes with mandatory education about responsibility and preserving wildlife.

- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I don’t think there is anything of value to be found here. I added another comment highlighting the problems I see with this test here.
- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 2 weeks ago:
Adding to this, as I have now skimmed over the original video in question by ANA[DIA]LOG: He already introduces the topic by clearly stating that he is strongly biased towards “cables make a difference”, I can only assume he lacks the necessary fundamentals about what a cable does. He describes his test track to have “a lot of frequencies”. We don’t know about the gear he used, and he chose a singular test which cant’ be replicated as it has too many muddying variables. The data he shared had to be sanitized by you, to even give any chance of an objective interpretation, which really is impossible in these circumstances. When his test shows some differences, rather than being surprised and questioning the sanity of his test-setup, he just accepts the result that satisfies his bias. This is not science, this is a grifter trying to sell snake oil to the gullible.

Maybe you’ve heard about a page called Audio Science Review. The owner amirm did some tests with a much more sane setup which he describes in detail. He actually finds his high priced cable (well above 2000 USD in this case) to perform worse than the cheap ones if anything, picking up more noise. I will trust his objective measurements any time of the day, this guy actually knows what he’s doing.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - PC Announce Trailer (March 19) 2 weeks ago:
It does have a lot of improvements but sadly literally falls flat on what made the first one so enjoyable to me. I loved having to think about my routes and using tools in order to traverse a train that was not made for traversal. Now everything basically has a more or less direct walking path. You get the truck very early on and it will be your do-it-all almost the whole way through. I bought a PS5 just to play this game early…

- Comment on Doom 2016 forces you to accept 4 agreements before playing. 1 month ago:
It’s not exclusively single player, however I’m not sure if anything would prevent them from only making you accept these agreements when you select multiplayer in the menu.

- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 2 months ago:
Stirring hype has failed too many times. I’m sure they have big plans for the game and it’s going to be very good. However, promising so much so early just screams incoming drama to me.

You don’t have to sue anyone. You can ask the offenders to correct their website and if they don’t, give a notice to the data protection authority in your country and they will handle it from there.

- Comment on Where Winds Meet players are tricking AI-powered NPCs into giving them rewards by using the 'Solid Snake method' 2 months ago:
I’m playing Where Winds Meet and imo the chatbots are one of the weakest points of the game. You are told it’s a bot, it feels like one, and as there is still a rigid game around this interaction, it’s essentially just a weird romancing minigame. The only reason I engage with this system is because it can be easily cheated. Nothing of value would be lost if this feature was entirely cut from the game.
- Comment on MY WINTER CAR - Cinematic Trailer 2 months ago:
From the Steam page:
BE WARNED: This game is for players who already master the challenge of My Summer Car. Definitely not recommended for any player not familiar with the original installment.
Very interesting, I really like that approach. However even the first game looks like you need to know a lot about cars beforehand (feel free to correct me on that). Let’s hope enough people will buy it.

Okay you can now control the shadow casting behavior of every single entity in the game individually. Happy?
- Comment on Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’ 3 months ago:
I would primarily understand it as being free of generative AI (picture and sound), which is what is most obvious when actually playing a game. I’m personally not against using LLMs for coding if you actually know what you’re doing and properly review the output. However at that point most will come to the conclusion that you could write the code manually anyways and probably save time.

That is my observation too. Money is no longer the end goal, it’s now the means for unlimited power play with the general society.
