I’m completely up for watching average media. When did we become too good for average? 5/10 is enough for me to give something a shot. Maybe even 4/10 if someone tells me it had some nugget of value.

I haven’t. Thats for the recommendation. I’ve added it to my watchlist.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 1 day ago:
I gave it up at season 2 when I first started watching.
Then I watched Better Call Saul years later and it was one of my all time favourites. Then I went back to Breaking Bad and liked it even better than Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad didn’t resonate with me initially and I’m so very glad I have it another chance.
- Comment on Security engineer ports Linux to PS5, runs GTA V 1 day ago:
My kids keep taking my Steam Deck and PC for gaming, so in building them their own machine. This is for indie and emulated games. I’m bidding on broken laptops on eBay to extract the motherboard to use as a standalone falling PC like this video shows. Given today’s hardware prices, this has been a great bargain.
I’ve gotten the mobo extracted and working well with Bazzite outside the case. Just waiting for my parts to arrive mod the cooling and make a case for it.
It’s been great fun and I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a cheap option. Don’t think I would even be able to buy 16GB of DDR5 ram in the price I’ve gotten this whole laptop (with soldered ram included).
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 5 days ago:
There have always been fuel stations that get shut down and you see them around town already either abandoned, repurposed (often hand car washes) or demolished and built over.
As these gradually shut down in the future, I wonder if some could just go straight to becoming commercial charger stations. Or if anyone can think of a better use for a large outdoor covered parking area + large underground storage tank + small convenience store.

“Ain’t broke” is under selling this. Evolutionarily, this is clearly the optimal solution.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 week ago:
This seems to be a phenomenon I’m coming across increasingly frequently in real life. People outraged about “how dare you think that…”.
This used has always been quite common online, but I never so much IRL. Sometimes I have to shut down a conversation with someone because they’re getting too worked up to talk about the issue.

If I call someone and hear this, I hang up immediately. I’m not engaging with this AI assistant bullshit and I get out of having to have the phone conversation …double win.

- Comment on What was your social media path? 3 weeks ago:
IRC
ICQ
MSN messenger
there was a site where you could post 2 choice questions that people could answer and comment on, I forget the name but I used that a lot
Facebook
Digg
Reddit
Lemmy… I had a Lemm.ee account and that died. Had a lemmynsfw account and that died. Apparently lemmy.ml has a bad reputation. Instances defederate from each other. I just want to see memes without the drama. Don’t know where to post to get more than a handful of people to see my post. I’m rapidly losing interest in the fediverse.
Back to books, podcasts and RSS… Social media has nothing worthwhile for me.

Why?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I leave it on silent. I don’t want the ringtone to bother me either. My job is an excellent example. People at work think “speaking to someone about their question” is the ideal thing to do. It takes me at least twice as long to do tasks with interruptions. Just put your query in an email or your job on my task list and I’ll do it in turn. Do not try to call me.
At home I’m even less likely to use phones for calls unless it’s my parents or brothers. I don’t want anyone to bother my playing with kids, gaming, exercising, pooping, eating, chores, etc. I try to deal with everything I can through messages and emails.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I resent idea that phone calls coming through unexpectedly at any time. As if I should drop whatever I’m doing at any given moment to talk to this person.

If you fart intentionally when you go to the toilet (or a place of your choosing), then you won’t have as much gas left inside to have accidental farts at other times.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 4 weeks ago:
No idea bro. Install and try them out. I don’t remember Niagara from when I trialled it.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 4 weeks ago:
Use this table and try a few. Find one you like. You can check the privacy report for trackers etc on the Exodus site.
I tried a whole bunch of launchers and settled on Pear launcher. I keep KISS launcher solely for the search (launch KISS search on double tapping the home button).

- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 4 weeks ago:
I’m a huge fan of rogue-lites. I don’t think I’ve come across any meta-progression mechanic that has bothered me as much as you say.
Hades was probably the most jarring example for me. Mirror upgrades made the game significantly easier and there was little chance of a beginner rogue-lite player managing to complete a run without these. Then by the time the mirror upgrades were unlocked then it felt like I needed to rapidly turn up the “heat” to keep the game challenging at all. I can see why they’ve made such a drastic difficulty curve because they’re appealing to a wider audience than normal rogue-lite audiences (Binding of Isaac audiences would never tolerate such hand holding). I’m still fine with that.
I’ve got a bigger problem with abilities/items being locked behind impossible difficulty. Some items I will never unlock in Dead Cells, because I will never be able to do 5BC (got to 4BC max). Same with Enter the Gungeon and beating the final final boss and extra bosses. In those cases I wonder why the devs have made aspects of the game that the majority of the population will never get to engage with. I just download a 100% completed save file when I’ve made all the progress I could have. I think we should be given the option to access all unlocks after 100 or 150 hours of gameplay or some such option.
Overall, I’ve got no problem with the inclusion of meta-progression (or not). If they implement it well and make a fun game, that’s all that matters to me.

I got sick of the cat and mouse with updates and youtube making changes.
I tried Grayjay from f-droid and I’m never going back. Getting all my video platforms on one amazing app with excellent queueing, background play, pop-out player, etc. It even has ad-blocking and sponsorblock built in. I’ve happily paid for this app and set it up ok my PC too. Highly recommended.
