- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 20 hours ago:
So they protect your data by preventing you from acces to it. Makes sense…Oh wait it makes absolutely no sense at all.
Sucks though. Are you going to buy a new license? Because the game is nice, but I would not want to give assholes like that more money.
- Comment on Pop-up Amazon TV ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan. 2 weeks ago:
Last week I canceled HBO. They increased prices and if I did not want that, I’d have to watch ads. I’m not watching ads. And they did not provide enough value to increase the price. Vote with your wallet. I certainly do.
- Comment on Close the loop. Hack into God. – Anonymous;Code Review 3 weeks ago:
Screw it, play one. If you don’t like that, don’t bother with the rest. If you do like it, play the others and connect the dots. What is there to lose?
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 5 weeks ago:
The problem obviously being that it is not the browser they want you too use, so they create “a problem”.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 5 weeks ago:
My steam is set to always open the library. I only go to the store if I want to buy another game. My library is full of games I have not played yet, so there is really no point in adding to that list unless I’m playing something with friends on a LAN party or something.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 months ago:
His people are dieing everyday, but Zelensky has to look at hats. What has the world come too? Why is a todler elected to such a powerful position?
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is out now 2 months ago:
I have the three others, I’ll probably buy this if it’s not too hefty priced.
- Comment on These shipping tape things 2 months ago:
I use them everyday. I work in logistics. Trick number one is to have special tape that isn’t as loud when unrolling it.
Tip number two is just use your vinger to put the first bit on, hold it with the finger and do the rest. At the end, push the top part against the box to make the knife cut the tape.
Wipe over the tape with your finger if needed, some tapes and kinds of carton don’t have much holding power. If you move your fingers over the tape, you’ll heat up the glue and it will stick better.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 2 months ago:
Just people making passive income guys, nothing to see here.
We once heard of a service that would help us find a rental house. So we went there, had to pay for an appointment. Turns out they do nothing you cannot do yourself, and you pay a lot. They literally just put you in the system, which you can do yourself, and when you get a house through that system, which is free and from the government, they make you pay through the nose for that house.
Of course, since I am native in this country I have no need for a service like that. Turns out they mostly do this to people who don’t speak the language. I guess they offer a service, but their fees are excessive for what they do. They abuse the fact those people don’t know any better.
There’s lots of people making a profit from somebody else’s house finding misery and I hate it.
- Comment on Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself. 2 months ago:
Well I feel attacked. Because I am a man and I have never raped anyone. Yet, by such broad statements, I, and many other man are immediately put in the rapist category.
How would you like statements like all woman are thieves?
Doesn’t feel right to put a lot of people in one category based on gender right? It is just as much bullshit.
Yes, most rape is from a man done to a woman. That does not mean that every man will rape woman. It’s just not true, and you immediately lose any chance of having a normal conversation with a man if you start by accusing them of a crime. That there is no proof of, and did not happen in most cases.
Try opening up a conversation with any stranger on the street by accusing them of being a murderer. How long will that laat and how much are you going to achieve by that? It’s just stupid.
If you want to change the world you have to talk to other people, build bridges and understand each other. Not wildy accuse each other of criminal behaviour just based on gender.
And that, is all the energy I am spending today on this nonsense.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M 3 months ago:
The whole Gaza situation is a wasp’s nest that nobody should poke without knowing damn sure what they are doing. There are multiple big players playing chess with other people’s life there, and you could lose a lot.
But given the complexity the chance that the situation is resolved and thus something is won is very small.
Yes, it’s terrible what is happening. But unless you have a lot of resources and a big army you are not in a position to muscle all the parties involved into submission, which is what will be required at this point.
