- Comment on Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) 6 days ago:
Can you highlight where you link this steam deck advice? There are no references to steam, steamdeck or linux in the article, and the only linls aee to the projects websites. Do they have a steamdeck guide?
- Comment on Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) 6 days ago:
Why? It sounds like an old link description that they didnt update. Webdev likely isnt their top priority being emulation devs, and frankly, they may not care.
Github/codeberg are both git, so its pretty irrevelant which one you link to. They just host the git repos, which give no shits about what web platform they live on.
- Comment on Restroom Location 6 days ago:
A lot of these stories are about, 2 or 3 streets, generally some dense blocks in the core of downtown that either have homeless services nearby or are tourist areas where you can panhandle succesfully.
No city has hundreds of streets and thousands of blocks just full of human shit. It happens in high traffic/high visibiilty areas due to poverty, the lack of accesable public bathrooms and drug use in the US, and even then, is minimal. Social media and right wing hysteria pump up minimal issues into quipy mania.

Another example : roddenbury wanted the 1st officer to be a woman on TOS, and shot the pilot with her in the role. The studio shot it down.

The charector arcs in the show are complex, especially for the early 90s. Sisko is largely an honorable man, but the nature of the roles he assumes strain him, force him in difficult directions.
The marquies in a lot of ways are personal to him. A dear friend defects to them early, and then he gets rolled later by others he trusts. He basically has direct bad blood with them.
Some of the other choices he makes? Fucked up, but to the shows credit, they lean into it and dont pretend hes the good guy when they happen.

Kobo is a nice alternative to kindle as well. They have excellent devices and support all of the open formats. Works well with calibre, can sync to your local library, etc.
- Comment on If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing' 3 weeks ago:
The “win” was to become the first god king in his next actual game, which let players compete/pay in a shared world for nobility/etc.
That game was never released, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years.
- Comment on OLAY! 3 weeks ago:
A few weeks ago, his wife made some unprompted comments about him being a “sexual matador” in an interview. Concurrently, there are rumours that he’s been literally cuckcolded by Elon musk in a consensual context.
So these memes are just riffing off these two pieces of news.

Amazon makes a game with a Trump supporter? Neato.

They kicked him out for that callous joke, which is a hilarious cherry on top. All the comedians, many of them “free speech warriors,” agreed not to make any jokes about Saudi arabia.

There is no endurance, but the power is there. Someone in the example won’t last a minute, but they wont have to if they drop 250lbs on your throat in that first minute.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 month ago:
The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.
And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.

We should toss superboy in there, get Superman's/luthors clone involved.

- Comment on Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently 1 month ago:
The meme is referring to this murder of an 11 year old who just rang a doorbell and ran. The murderer was lying in wait in his yard with a gun, and shot the kid as he ran out of the yard.
The kid ran for another block or so with his friend and then died.

Sure, sure. He just wants to let things be.
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 month ago:
They are already using this or worse. Theil's Palintir is already doing tons of nasty data analytics. Ads in luck Palmer's weapons/surveillance company Anduril, and you have the data input and attack payloads ready to go, all from Chud industries.

Im glad for it, but it still feels PR puffery from the "make FPS great again" company bankrolled by turbotax.
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Trailer 2 months ago:
People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release. Take games journalism with a grain of salt. Even the very largely honest ones generally only get the first "X minutes" to demo, which designers pack impressive moments into for the press, but then the rest of the game is half baked or a slog.
No preorders is always right.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 2 months ago:
Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.
Surprise surprise, it didn't take.
- Comment on Lies of p has been really good! 2 months ago:
It was a free update that came out at the same time as the DLC, but yup they lined right up.
- Comment on Lies of p has been really good! 2 months ago:
Have to give lies of P lots of credit for adding "on the fly" difficulty settings. Most souls-likes wont budge here, likely due to the rabid fan pushback, but it is someone who dislikes the punishing genre mechanics but likes the game itself, it made the game buyable for me.

- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 2 months ago:
The huge win in digital for them was killing the resell market.
No used games means no competition from previous owners. Prices can stay at $60/70/80 forever without any user market forcing prices down.
Every media vendor wants digital only to cut production costs, but it's really to own the market. Consoles did exactly that for decades. The shift to subscriptipns for not only online at all but also to "sont own games, just gove us a monthly oart of your invome forever" was them pushing this advsntage to its maximum conclusion.
Only now, with falling sales and falling interest due to "quick media" like tiktok/instagram/etc, is microsoft giving up on its console moat and sharing all games across devices. Only a loss of relevance as an entertainment medium is forcing them to open the market up again.
