• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile in California⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the area, but it’s not uncommon to drive more than 30 or 40 miles a day for a work commute in California (especially if you’re trying to live in a cheaper area away from where the jobs are located).

  AI slop? In my shitpost comm?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨real⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, that’s weezer.

  Makeshift Repeaters would be an obvious solution :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda has no plans to slow down on paid mods, Todd Howard says he wants to get Creations 'in front of more people'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well written comment, but I think all of it is absolutely wishful thinking. Bethesda will not replace the creation engine in any future releases for games to solve their games issues with stability and performance (and let’s be honest with ourselves, that is the only way they will be fixed), they will do the absolute bare minimum for curating any content or general bug testing (Fallout 76, need I say more), and to expect a public company with every incentive in the world to enshittify to provide a better user experience for user created content than the unofficial alternatives for the long term is hilarious.

  For another example of a Microsoft owned property that has the same divide of community vs. official avenues of distributing and managing modded content, compare modded Minecraft Java Edition to Bedrock (sorry, Bugrock). I would not consider moving Bethesda’s modding scene closer to the Bugrock model to be “desireable”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dumb glasses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Using “nearby glasses” set to 20m to detect the glasses’ Bluetooth signature (plan on making that a module I can attach to the front doorframe), I can easily detect the presence of your classes. Then, you shall have two options after I speak to you. Surrender the glasses, or speak to my personal attorney. Or if I’m not at home, my drone, which will ram into your face to destroy the glasses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dumb glasses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A clear violation of the social contract deserves a swift response. Those glasses come off your face, and onto the pavement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a US bank only insures your money up to 250k does that mean I have to visit four different back to have a million dollars insured?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not someone who has that kind of money, but people who have enough money to want it perpetually invested and growing (so they can periodically withdraw from it without impacting the base fund), throw it into an index or money market fund like those provided by the big 3 (Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street).

  Although you will still need a bank regardless in your life for things like checking and credit cards.

  waitaminute… this is like event 5 or so in the Fallout timeline.

  Damn, did Christopher Taylor know the whole time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s more of a dedicated following that just isn’t viral. Keep in mind crossplay means that the steam charts aren’t an accurate barometer by themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the devs from the Bad Company era left EA to form Embark Studios - maybe check out their games like The Finals?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot more armored vests and helmets that can stop a .22LR have been widely adopted though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, especially if you are willing to build one yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ali got the Wiki "was"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NonCredibleDefense seems to be faster than the news communities sometimes. The shitposts must flow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  DS generations are probably the last ones worth playing - although hard to emulate on a phone with comfortable controls, I’d imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 590 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Emudeck is pretty easy to work with (although be careful where you get your “switch dependencies”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spending⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From a databroker (legitimate or not) statistically, your entire identity goes for less than 5 bucks in a bundle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New protogen art⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you give a display headpats? Or does that just leave smudges all over the screen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news, UK Discord users, we're part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection "experiment"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually it’s not because there are third party clients available that you can use without any interactions with google services. I’m using Clerotri on GrapheneOS right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp straight to the bin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if that’s because of the microplastic contamination more than the actual salt lol

  Some muzzle devices are explicitly designed to shatter glass alongside normal function - although they’re commonly found on breaching shotguns.

  Better than I can draw, this shit rocks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For consumer bluetooth earbuds with a high level of latency (think what you’d use on your phone), certainly - which is why you should never try to use everyday use headphones as genuine hearing protection for things such as industrial environments or gunshots.

  Dedicated hearing protection devices perform all their audio functions locally with almost no latency at all (unless you count using an aux jack in conjunction for something like two-way radios, which don’t interfere with the noise cancelling).

  TL;DR - yes for devices not designed to protect your ears, no for devices designed as hearing protection (because of their specific design and operation).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, TIL. I do have a pair of purely passive muffs (from my father, presumably acquired in the 90s/00s) that I could use if need be. I got the Razor slims a bit back because of a clearance discount at a sporting good store, glad to hear there are other options in their price range though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t ear protection like the Razor Slims function both with active noise cancelling and without electricity? Active noise cancelling is useful for hearing the range instructor, but I’d imagine the seal and cushioning would also provide adequate hearing protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC he just washed his hands and moved on from it, which probably was the right call given the Acti-Blizz merger and Microsoft buyout.

  1. Retro games can totally on the market for completely unreasonable prices, look at any of the NDS pokemon games for a quick point of reference - especially insulting compared to the ease of using a flashcart.
  2. Damn, you’re one of those hardcore collectors. I’m just the kind of person that bought a 3ds for the unique hardware layout and emulate the rest of Nintendo’s handhelds on my Steam Deck, but different strokes I guess.
  3. The 3DS carts I believe are the most prone to failure - most of what I read comes from the Animal Crossing and Pokemon communities (probably due to their dedicated fanbases), so that’d be the primary concern. Considering you can regularly rip your carts using a modded 3DS, staying ahead of it would probably be wise (I’m not hatin’ on the collection, but even diehard physical media collectors should rip their copies for safety).

  3ds and DS cartridges both have a limited lifespan and are likely to experience save failure as the years pile on - have you considered hacking your 3ds and getting a flashcart for DS games?

  (You also won’t be giving money to scalpers on ebay)
