For me there are times where I ”drink too hard”, and it leaves some nasty chest pain. Rare, but I hate when it happens.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 3 days ago:
Not really. Taking away the challenge ruins the fun.
But I liked activating cheat codes in GTA: San Andreas. Spent many hours traveling around the map in a flying tank and causing random mayhem.

We’re living in a steampunk world after all
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 6 days ago:
I have an ok relationship with my parents. Never been offended about these ”insults”.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 1 week ago:
They probably have the finances to spend as much time they want this time around. I wouldn’t be surprised their Joe Danger money dried up during NMS development.

It’s still always DNS for some reason
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 2 weeks ago:
I’m mostly a layman. The only thing I know is that MOND is the leading competing explanation. I leave it for experts to decide which one is correct.

Things behave in ways that can’t be explained by our current understanding of physics.
For example, galaxies rotate faster than we would expect. It’s as if there’s more matter in the galaxy than we could see. Scientists use the name ”dark matter” for this phenomenon.
Scientists don’t know if dark matter really exists, or if there’s other ways to explain this phenomenon. Another explanation is that there’s no extra matter, but that this is just how gravity behaves in large scales.
What’s interesting is that different galaxies has different amounts of ”dark matter”. Some have almost no ”dark matter” at all.

You can install Windows on it if you really want to.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 3 weeks ago:
Artifact 3 confirmed!
- Comment on Steam Machine is huge for indie development 3 weeks ago:
I believe Valve’s intention is to lay the foundation for third party devices, like how it went with Steam Deck. Their business model is to open up their storefront to more people - not to sell hardware.
If that’s the case, then Steam Machine will have little effect on indie development.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
That’s right. I forgot there are ”normie games” with kernel anti cheat
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
Steam Machine feels more like a console that happens to also be a PC. If reasonably priced, the question is why anyone would want to buy Xbox or PlayStation when Steam Machine has a bigger library than both combined - on launch.
- Comment on Valve Reveals New Hardware Lineup: A Controller, Compact Gaming PC, and VR-Ready Headset 3 weeks ago:
This is the most excited I’ve been about a hardware announcement in a great while.

A brief moment of KDE desktop shown.
2026 will be the year of Linux Desktop!
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using the same base Xbox One controller for a while. It was easy to set up for Linux. Just had to install some extra package but after that it was good to go.
Out of all the mainline console controllers, Xbox One’s is my favorite. They really nailed it with that one.

The chip implanted in your brain is no longer supported and won’t get any new security updates. Please purchase a new one.

That’s an impressive showcase. Only game I was aware of before was Bloodthief. Will check out some of the others.
Bloodthief is great btw.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not about the size, but more about density of meaningful content. I like Elden Ring because every nook and cranny feels worth exploring. It’s the game that dares to hide optional areas behind optional areas, all with their own unique enemies and bosses.
On the other hand, taking Elden Ring as an example again, the mini dungeons were too repetitive. The first time visiting a catacomb is exciting, but it turns into quite a chore after the third time and onwards. You’ve already seen it all. Same thing with the dragon battles.
I think Elden Ring overall strikes a good balance with amount of surprises per square meter.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 4 weeks ago:
It’s mostly kids. The typical playground arguments like ”my dad is stronger than your dad”.
And adults who refuse to grow up.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
My experience is the opposite.
Whenever I have a problem with Linux, there’s often a solution available after some Googling. Often it’s just changing something in a configuration file.
Whenever I have a problem with Windows, there’s often that one thread where someone details the exact same problem, and there’s some ”official Microsoft tech support” whose only contribution is to ask if they have tried to reboot the computer and then radio silence.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
It’s mostly convenience. They know it works, so they keep using it.
Luckily Microsoft is making it inconvenient to continue using Windows.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
EndeavourOS has that kind of menu during the install process. A few screenshots and a brief explanation of each option.
I thought it was nice. It’s something I want to see more with other distros. The DE is what most people will notice about the OS either way.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
The portion of people playing on SteamOS is steadily decreasing, which means new Linux users are on SteamOS to a lesser extent.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
Is that really needed?
I think what could really drive adoption is if computers with Linux pre-installed was more easily accessible. Just boot the computer, choose which DE you want to install and then it’s done. It doesn’t need to be SteamOS. Just any good distro will do.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 weeks ago:
I think it will continue to rise. People are updating their rigs all the time. Whenever they update their rig they’ll have to ask themselves whether they want to continue with Windows on their new rig, or try with something new.
Most will stay on Windows of course, but some don’t. And those who switch to Linux are likely not returning to Windows (for gaming at least).
- Comment on We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one 4 weeks ago:
Rushed games suck. Movie tie in games tended to be made with tight deadline and budgeting. On top of that, the developers were supposed to make a game of a movie that don’t exist yet.
Thankfully, the trend of making movie tie in games stopped.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Removing the start button was a bad idea.
It had an interface that was supposed to be compatible with desktop and tablets at the same time, and as a result it wasn’t good at either.
The power off button was hidden behind the settings menu, which in turn was hidden behind some corner gesture menu. They seem to have taken the wrong lessons from Vim.
Eventually the worst things were fixed with 8.1, but that was too late to repair the reputation.
