- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 days ago:
No prices for both new xbox and Steam Machines has been announced. How do you know which would be more expensive?
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 3 days ago:
It is approx 9 teaspoons of sugar per 300ml bottle. Typical tea cup is 250-300ml. Imagine putting 9 teaspoons of sugar in your tea or coffee. Fucking gross.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 days ago:
Not that I know of. They supposed to announce prices in the first quarter of 2026 but due to memory shortage they have postponed it. As for shipping, they have claimed that they are still planning to launch shipping by the end of first half of 2026. Price is estimated at $800-$1000. Shortage might increase it.

“XBOX game pass is heaps better than Steam” - said no one ever
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 3 days ago:
With Steam Machine being announced and price about to be released, new xbox is dead even before arrival. I will be totally bemused if gamers will chose new xbox/pc over Steam Machines.

- Comment on why not all laptops and PCs charging/working via usb c yet,instead of whatever bs charger they make? 5 days ago:
Most new laptops do, aren’t they? I see new laptops having thunderbolt type C or USB4 for a charging/dock port. Havent seen a single proprietary in a while.
As for PCs, USB4 supports only 240W at max and therefore can not feed a modern decent GPU like 5070ti alone. Finding 240W PD charger is also a major task.

I wonder if they ask everyone for ID. My account is old enough to drink.
- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 week ago:
While I certainly agree with the “competition fails at being a competitor and sues instead”, it is also false to say that because of Valve having lootboxes for over a decade, we should let it be.
Well, if Valve loses the case and this would force EA, Epic and all other bunch of shitty companies that utilize FOMO and gambling mechanics to stop doing so - I see it as a enormous W.

Instead they have “Other cases” where France and Pyrenees are mentioned one too many times.
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 1 week ago:
Does anyone actually like those silicone tips vs a solid body?
I am sure it is the other way. Hard body is fucking terrible at everything. Many report it struggling to hold in the ear canal. They do not have any good noise blocking abilities besides ANC. They hurt some people.
I have not heard from anyone that rubber/foam tips hurt, or have poor noise isolation, or barely hold in ear canal.

Last time I checked, WoW WotLK channel had some racist remarks by creator. I cant find channel now so most likely it is gone by now.

- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 2 weeks ago:
So. In the other post they promised not to go AI, but in this one we see black on white proof that she is totally gonna dive deep into ai gaming? Makes me think how much longer gamers (your typical cod/fifa gamer) will stay silent?
P.S. Players do not have to become loud. Best way to actually tell gaming industry to fuck off with their anti-consumer narrative is to vote with your wallet. Yes, it is that easy.
- Comment on shut uppp 2 weeks ago:
It is a marvel, and is pretty great really. Main issues with AI today are that they are hardware-intensive and require cooling, tons of storage and computing capacity, replace workforce with subpar performance, etc.
You see, modern LLMs are generative AI and not really a sentient AI. They have tons of texts and content in their database from which AI will generate answer to your prompt. But more often than never it would generate things that are wrong. AIs task is to generate, not actually think.
It should’ve make us work less hours and have more free time by enhancing our productivity. Yet we lose jobs and have to work more hours while earning less.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 weeks ago:
800 is a fair price. Similarly specced minipc HX99G was sold at $700-900 until it went out of stock. I am beginning to doubt that Steam Machine is goint to be sold at this price. Must be higher due to ram and ssd prices of today. In other case, 800 for Steam Machine would be a steal, really.

- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
Age verification is not mandatory. Unless you want to browse NSFW content. You can ignore age verification and keep browsing adult content somewhere else.
I believe many would not verify themselves, groups that do adult content would lose majority of user base. So they would move somewhere else where I assume their user base would follow.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
By your logic, we might also remove “Are you 18+?” questions from mainstream porn sites, cause children might not lie and go to a shadier site where it will not ask for their age.
Man. I am not even sure if Discord is better than some shady porn sites. Cause unless you are from another galaxy, you probably heard not so “child friendly” stories about what children been exposed on some lesser known discord channels. Some of the times the content is something you’d struggle to find in open web.
In any case, children would find explicit content anywhere else if they want to. So there is no particular reason to be afraid of ID verification since it doesn’t necessary change that fact.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
According to this article they just blocking access to adult channels and content. You may still use discord but not be able to view adult chat groups, pictures and other content if you haven’t scanned your face or uploaded ID.
Seems fair to be honest. Children on Discord been exposed to adult content some which adults would be disgusted by. Not to count pedophilia en masse and seems to be uncontrollable. Discord was not supposed to be a tool for sharing porn anyway. Maybe it would bring some good into the situation.

Pattern recognition.
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 4 weeks ago:
CachyOS for performance, Bazzite for stability. None of key features I’ve mentioned about these two OSes are overwhelmingly better on each side. Barely makes any difference imo.
My perspective: I fly Bazzite on my main rig (HX99g) and it’s been epic. Gaming mode unfortunately doesn’t detect 165Hz but desktop does. Upsides: seems to run games slightly better than windows, and does most daily computer tasks with ease. Downsides: doesn’t run windows native apps. Can be ran though winboat, but say Whatsapp wont have mic unless you add device in settings, but then you’d lose sound of Bazzite.
Other than that, it has been an epic ride. So far that I have nuked internal SSD windows and clonezilla’d my external Bazzite ssd to internal SSD. Windows hasn’t been installed yet. It is in the plans.

Smurfing was probably a side-effect. I remember their main reasoning was to ban people who trash talk in voice comms/chat so they cant just create new account using same number.
