- Comment on Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal. 2 weeks ago:
Same. Been looking close to 9 months after being laid off but it’s only to pay the bills, I know I won’t enjoy what I find, if anything. That ship sailed 10 years ago.
- Comment on You know how some medications numbs your emotions... so what happens if you're on those medications and you receive news of a close family member dying, do you like... not have any emotions over it? 3 weeks ago:
In the right dosage the idea is to keep you from going into overdrive from the news, in my experience taking them. It’s to lower your baseline, not killll it all. It’s not a lobotomy.
- Comment on Retired Coast Guard officer with decades of public health experience is Trump’s pick to lead CDC 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like a good pick? What’s the catch?
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 5 weeks ago:
You’re supposed to break the little skin between the shell and the white and pull on that. You dug past it.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn | Official Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
I should have wrote “if it’s close to the original story”, not something like I am Legend that completely ignored the reason for the story being called that.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn | Official Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
Me too if it’s based on the books/show
- Comment on I almost got to try my new quick clamp 1 month ago:
Just remove the plastic thingy that if you’re anything like me you’re gonna lose anyway?
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
Common sense would dictate that if if presented with a 30 pages contract in small letters in legalese, your usual folk will not get it. I think that’s a common defense.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
Uh. Good to know.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
Beats me
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
yup
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
Nothing so far, I sent the email in the screenshot. If they reply anything other than my membership is cancelled, I’ll require them again to cancel my membership and point to the fact that I requested the cancellation in writing 3 times and if they charge me one more time i’ll tell my lawyer to take them to small courts (I don’t have one but who cares).
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
That’s good advice, I’ll do that for my next gym membership. Tx.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 1 month ago:
I’ll cancel my credit card and get a new one if that’s what it takes for them to stop charging me.

- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 1 month ago:
Fair enough. I must be in a mood.
- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 1 month ago:
I’m sorry but have you not found any reviews for the game or the specs listing?
- Comment on New open world parkour game Panline is so exact a reflection of Mirror's Edge it gives me vertigo 1 month ago:
Oooh i’ll keep an eye on that. I reinstall Mirror’s Edge regularly, always loved it.
- Comment on Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file 2 months ago:
Plus the default server and client are bloated and buggy
I’m not sure why people keep repeating this. I’ve been running both for 6 months without issues (see recent comment about DB maintenance). Maybe it was true before and isn’t true anymore.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 months ago:
I had to stop playing No Man’s Sky, I was caught in the game play loop way too much and doing nothing else.
- Comment on Day 564 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 months ago:
Lol that first picture, are you playing Halo or Subnautica
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 3 months ago:
I’ve seen games in store listings that were obviously AI slop copying their entire game, Manor Lords.
- Comment on 'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic? 3 months ago:
Yeah, it’s all pretty ridiculous. It’s catharsis, not planning. Just like violent movies. Did you know that in Flight Simulator, you can crash in the World Trade Center!?? Also, did you know that in literal sand boxes, they “allow” you to bash other kids with a shovel??
- Comment on 'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic? 3 months ago:
Pfff I’ve been playing video games for 30+ years, this dumb “debate” always comes back like clockwork every election cycle, it seems. Doom was the root of all evil. Then it was Postal. Then Doom again. Then, GTA. Cue many headlines with “hot coffee” in them. Now it’s GTA again, apparently. Just ignore and move on.

I’ve seen many FOSS projects use gitlab

interactive vibrator plugins
damn. what a time to be alive.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 3 months ago:
Problem is when looking for a job. 3/4 of what I have been applying for asks for a github link to your projects and won’t accept something that doesn’t match ‘github.com’.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 4 months ago:
I think people think it runs way fewer games than it does. I keep updating proton, etc, and like 99% of my games work. Hell, I have all my DS and Switch games on there.

Why?
- Comment on Dying Light 4 months ago:
On the $0 trend, I restarted Just Cause 3 as I’m generally in a bad mood these days. Very satisfying 😌
