Also he was blind in one eye and would maybe need half a mirror? :)
- Comment on Splinter Cell designer says “one of the difficulties with modern stealth games” is realistic lighting, as environments are now so much “harder to read” 1 week ago:
Right? I play games to escape reality anyway
- Comment on What Happened When the Pope Had to Call Customer Service 2 weeks ago:
No you “think about”. He opened the account didn’t he. So he came in person, presented id and everything, and defined the security questions that he then correctly answered. He passed authentication and then they just… didn’t believe it. It’s a systemic failure. I’ve had a specific bank account in the old country for 17 years, the last 15 spent outside of said country. I went there exactly once - to open the account. Since then I have used that account regularly including to buy, and later sell, an apartment and still didn’t have to go there.
- Comment on What Happened When the Pope Had to Call Customer Service 2 weeks ago:
Lol it’s funny the bank didn’t have a little note in their system saying that particular customer is actually the pope. They don’t have anything to flag VIPs?
- Comment on Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal. 5 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? 1 month 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 1 month ago:
Sounds like a good pick? What’s the catch?
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Me too if it’s based on the books/show
- Comment on I almost got to try my new quick clamp 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Uh. Good to know.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 2 months ago:
Beats me
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 2 months ago:
yup
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months ago:
Fair enough. I must be in a mood.
- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 2 months 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 2 months 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? 3 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" 4 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? 4 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? 4 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.
