- Comment on Upcoming Starfield mod introduces seamless planet landing - by Frederik Wessberg 1 week ago:
Keep in mind that, as outlined in the title, this is a work in progress mod.
A) The unmodified game still has to load the game world during the transition. True seamless probably requires an engine overhaul beyond the scope of a mod, cloud cover to mask the loading of assets and make it feel seamless is a fair compromise.
B) I think that forcing a completely realistic re-entry would be a bit much for most players, though it would be awesome for the option to be available to those who want a hardcore experience.
KSP, Flight of Nova, Elite: Dangerous - there are plenty sims out there catering to those who want realism.
No Man’s Sky compromises on this to keep the game casual and fun.
C) In the original game, flight is limited to space and is very arcade-y. Press ‘W’ to activate thrusters and move forward. Vertical thrusters are present in the unmodified game and visible during landing cutscenes, so the modder may be able to tap into those animations as they continue work on the mod. I recall most of those thrusters being attached to the landing gear though.
At the end of the day, this is a game and most games are more enjoyable when you suspend disbelief. This is a game where people wear spacesuits in a vacuum, get shot multiple times with blood effects, and carry on fighting without experiencing violent depressurization.

- Comment on A first-person 3D adaptation of Zork I 1 month ago:
Because it is
This impressed me: GPT-5.6 Astra turned Zork (the classic 1977 text adventure) into a full 3D playable action-adventure game It kept the original plot & puzzles, added fight scenes, and built all of the characters & environments directly in Threejs code
There’s all kinds of weird stuff, like being able to move behind the Fireplace or the window “in the corner of the house” being smack dab in the middle of that face of the building.
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 1 month ago:
They never told her explicitly she was trespassed and just told her she can either pay the bill and leave
If somebody asks you to leave their private property and you stay, that is trespassing. I’m not aware of the need to use the word “tresspass”. Not a lawyer.
Someone asks you to leave and says they’re calling the cops? Staying is a game of chicken you’re going to lose.

- Comment on VR controls are the worst 1 month ago:
the butt of the gun isn’t being braced by his shoulder, so when he shoots it the recoil is going to make it fly backwards and out of his hands
You’d be surprised how little recoil there really is with 5.56. It’s a bigger priority to get solid cheek weld and keeping the head upright which often means that most of the stock is not actually in contact with the shoulder, just the corner.
Some setups will even just have a pad on the buffer tube, or they’ll use a brace that isn’t meant to be shouldered.

In Windows, at least you can use the settings app to rebind it as Right CTRL or the Context Menu key.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
12V at 1A = 12W / 12VA
230V at 1A = 230W / 230VA
That growth might lead one to surmise that voltage is the ‘killer’, but that’s not actually the case - Amperage is the key force multiplier that will dictate whether or not the shock is deadly.
Example - when you poke your friend and zap them, that’s an electrostatic discharge of 1,000+ Volts but it’s only around 0.0001 Amps and only lasts a few microseconds.
In addition to duration, Amperage is going to be the key force multiplier that determines how ‘deadly’ a shock might be.

- Comment on Xbox Player Voice Quickly Reveals What Players Want Most 5 months ago:
Why would anyone care what hardware another player is using?
In 2026, Xbox makes way more sense as a games marketplace / publishing platform. I’d love to see the console aspect evolve to something like the Steam Machine, shipping with Microsoft’s software out of the box but with the openness / flexibility to install other OSes if the user so chooses.

They really should have had this system in place from the get-go, I was actually expecting it to work that way.

I was mostly stuck on the “the only way” part of your comment. In terms of accessibility, I don’t know that the domain method would really be any better - not to mention that it’s limited to Pro/Enterprise Windows editions that most consumers aren’t getting.
The audit mode path is more GUI friendly but, similar to the Domain option, still requires pre-existing knowledge or web search.
Here’s hoping Microsoft actually follows through on loosening this restriction, even though I largely hold the position that basic users’ security benefits from the MS Account setup.

The only way to create a local user account on windows 11 now without fuckery is pretending you are going to domain join. No other method exists without under the hood tweaks. A similar workaround would work.
Depending on your definition of “under the hood”, this isn’t really accurate. You can invoke CMD to create an account or enter Audit mode to do the same. Neither of these methods require preparation of separate installation media.
- Comment on Crimson Desert sales top five million 5 months ago:
I’m still pretty early in, but the thing that really blows me away is how alive the world feels.
Just moving through nature, there are all kinds of critters dipping in and out if bushes every which way.
On my journey yesterday, I passed through a tannery, a quarry, textile production, and a small encampment that seemed dedicated to charcoal production. Most fantasy RPGs have big cities, small villages, maybe some mines and farmland, and then Wilderness.
Crimson Desert is giving me the impression they really thought out and put in every little logistic that goes to supporting these kinds of societies.
- Comment on I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years. 6 months ago:
Mostly just visual in terms of shine vs matte. For the quality of the joint itself, lead-free has a higher melting point so you need more heat to keep it flowing nicely.
Your joints will do what they’re supposed so, so they’re fine. Chasing perfection is just a fun minigame.
