Crap, here I was thinking they used a Nintendo Powerglove and a Virtual Boy

I’ve been waiting for the 2026 update. So many sights have seen such an insane spike in AI not scraping traffic this year that has to play in some.
- Comment on Soldering 20m and 40m low pass filters from QRP Labs for RPi WSPR 3 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t know how much you know about electronics but usually you want inductors pointing every which way so they don’t magnetically couple, but looking at the circuit and the tolerance on the entire thing I guess it’s fine, this saves a little space.
I usually play in speaker crossover land (exact same concepts and circuits, low pass filter, high pass filter, etc) and get a little OCD sometimes.
- Comment on Soldering 20m and 40m low pass filters from QRP Labs for RPi WSPR 3 days ago:
Any particular reason you didn’t lay the third ring flat to reduce coupling between all three?
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 1 week ago:

Second sentence is literally the GOG rep stating is part of their culture. The reply is the dev explicitly stating they avoided several of the runes sent because of the connotations. Comments are full of people pointing out that they did not use the rune they claimed they did based on the Unicode and pointing out that in history using the double rune has had no meaning.
The developers also pointed out in a different spot they changed their logo because the old one had connotations they wanted to avoid but that GOG used the old one, despite having the new less problematic one.
Nothing GOG said passes the sniff test.

That’s the girl from Pragmata isn’t it? Doesn’t scream AI to me
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 1 week ago:
They went back and forth with the community more and the devs but basically repeated themselves
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 1 week ago:
Except their excuse that it was part of their culture and why they use it in the first place holds no water according to the developers of the game (part of said culture) as well as many others.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 1 week ago:
They released a standard non-apology claiming it was part of their culture and that people just didn’t understand. They also stated their German team raised issue with the email and that they just ignored it

I shove it into the freezer before it’s baked at all. It gets the full bake when it comes out. I’ll have the other in the oven keeping my house smelling good.
- Comment on The perfect day alone starter pack 1 week ago:
I’ve almost always got a frozen one in the freezer just for that reason. Doesn’t take much more effort to make two than one when I make em, them keep one for a cozy day
- Comment on The perfect day alone starter pack 1 week ago:
I would not call it a driving sim at all. It’s the game Peak but centered around an RV. You goof around with friends getting an RV stuck in a mudpit and having to winch it out, or wandering around cabins looking for spare parts and getting attacked by snakes. Yeah sure you drive the RV but that’s a vehicle for all the other shenanigans (pun intended). It’s as much a driving sim as Mario Kart.
On it’s own the game is nothing, but with three of your friends three beers in at midnight on a Friday? Hooboy now you’re talking.

Swap pizza for lasagna, single player for RV There Yet or Trine, and water for zero sugar blackberry soda and I’m in

Please please please don’t plant invasive species. They will destroy native environments. It will do literally nothing to stop those datacenters and just cause more harm.

- Comment on How do you keep your shit organized? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly I’ve started really evaluating if I’ll ever actually do whatever project the supplies are for and if not getting rid of them (donate, sell, whatever, varies by item).
Will I actually use that piece of scrap? Will I really ever make that thing? Am I ever honestly going to reach for that color/texture? I’ve probably cut my supplies in half doing this, got a few local people into oodworking by parsing things out, and they got to learn on my rejects that cost basically nothing to them. Now I can actually see what I’ve got and do things.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 2 weeks ago:
Riot and square too. Like Riot’s business model is one that StopKillingGames recognized would likely get excluded as it’s obvious from the start you only get your purchases while the servers are running. And square has supported their two mmos forever already, everybody knows exactly what they get there.
- Comment on How do you avoid AI music? 2 weeks ago:
Not really. I don’t follow any specific ones. Just go hunting through DDG searches and stuff when the mood for something new hits me. Though, they’re are a few music communities here on Lemmy including an eternal playlist one where people post more songs all the time.
- Comment on How do you avoid AI music? 2 weeks ago:
Whenever I’m feeling a new genre I don’t have a playlist for I find an already made one. Old blogs and forums and such have so many curated lists. Lots of music communities exist and are still updating lists with new artists. From there I either find lists recommending songs/artists similar to the ones I liked (again plenty of human curated lists) or get recommendations from friends.
I follow some of my absolute favorite artists and they post inspiration playlists when they’re making new albums from time to time too that I’ll often listen to.
Basically I just don’t randomly search for songs.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 3 weeks ago:
Not sure I would commit to GOG that much. They’ve shown some transphobic and Nazi colors often enough.

- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
You said you don’t know how people can be happy about the news. That’s mostly what I was addressing.
Ultimately I agree, he should have been tried for his crimes against society and guillotined along with the rest of aristocracy ages ago.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
Claude was a director and deputy CEO. He was on the board. He was directly involved in the technical and business management side for years. Calling him just a stakeholder undercuts his own opinion on what he did at Ubisoft as he expressed in a few interviews himself throughout the years.
Just because you didn’t know who he was doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t. Yes Yves was the face and CEO, and thus the person directly named in the lawsuit because that’s how it works, but Claude was often cited as the quiet force behind Yves anchoring him, serving as operations officer, advisor, and other titles over time.

Way to skip over all the documented recent reasons people are posting.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 weeks ago:
We all could learn to words more gooder.
I’ve thought for a while adults should go back to school every ten years or so for some basic logic, driving, communication, and math refreshers.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 weeks ago:
That doesn’t explain why leadership is valued more.
That’s an argument for both existing. Without leadership the expertise won’t be harnessed, without expertise, leadership means nothing.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
Promoting sexual abusers and trying to cover up their abuse through two lawsuits though? Yeah, not a good look
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
He and his brothers still maintain control of Ubisoft (even though an attempted hostile takeover). It’s been shown in documents that management have known about but ignored the pervasive sexual misconduct there (in fact promoting the abusers) as well as extensive union busting, employee abuse, on top of the numerous lawsuits for selling/mismanaging customer data, rug pulls with games, and more. Claude Guillemot was an active founding member of the company and maintained his involvement throughout.
Those alone I believe earn the ire thrown at them. I personally add the moral failings of their early overenthusiastic adoption of NFTs and AI.
They very much are a part of the abusive wealthy class treating the world as their personal misogynistic playground.
To argue he was “maybe really nice” is to straight up ignore his hand in all of that. Try again.
- Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 3 weeks ago:
It’s been a while since I looked in there but aren’t the games installed under a folder with their Steam ID as the title?
