- Comment on When Video Games were Brown. | Ahoy 1 day ago:
I would be interested in the graphs, but with Sports and Nintendo games removed. Nobody has accused them of brown.
Did shooters specifically get more brown? Even with this analysis I’m positive they did.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 days ago:
I had to go back and read your post twice because I was getting Xbox One X and Xbox Series X confused with eachother. I even know there is a difference, but holy god are those names bad that it’s still confusing even when you know to look for it.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 6 days ago:
I remember being very annoyed, for years, that Microsoft’s flagship gaming franchise, Halo, stopped releasing for their most popular platform: Windows. For years, only Halo and Halo 2 were released for PC, and Halo 2 was almost unplayable due to Microsoft’s massive cockup with Games for Windows Live. It wasn’t until just a few years ago where Microsoft released their most popular franchise for their most popular platform.
I’m still salty about that.
But, it’s fine, I don’t have an xbox or a Windows computer now. And it is almost entirely due to shit decisions by Microsoft that just kept compounding for decades.
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 2 weeks ago:
As long as you are trying your best, don’t feel bad about using them. Just make sure you are doing your best to improve yourself and your income. Assistance programs are not meant to be permanent, they are there to help you get on your feet when you fall down.

- Comment on Bethesda x Nintendo Switch™ 2 — Oblivion, Fallout 4, and Indiana Jones Coming to Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
Never understood why people rebuy Skyrim over and over. Buy it once on Steam and call it a day. (even works as a handheld via the Steam Deck)
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 4 weeks ago:
alleges Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to conditions which prevents them from selling their titles earlier or for less on rival platforms.
Given Epic is gives away games for free. This assertion about Valve is laughable.
- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 4 weeks ago:
I second bottom right as the best pictured, but the chain is still too long. Below is the correct length of chain. Maximum control and damage. Best against armored opponents that one needs to bludgeon.
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 4 weeks ago:
Because they don’t have to. The next quarterly report is better. Copilot use is up (because it was shoved into yet another app) and costs are down (because they layed even more people off). Businesses are locked in for the near future, so sales will remain high.
It doesn’t matter desktop Linux use is drastically increasing. That doesn’t affect this quarter. This quarter is all about cutting costs and pushing AI.
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it sucks. Windows used to be dependable and solid, the whole point of the OS was IT JUST WORKS. They had some downturns in the past (Vista, 8) but you could just skip those. XP, 7, etc. Now though? There is no skipping 11, not if you want security updates. They could have made Copilot it’s own app that you can ignore, but no, even notepad needs AI for some reason. The start menu has ads, the notification center has ads.
Finally pushed me to switch to Mint this past year. My SO followed too. Been happier with it. Feels like I’m in control of the OS again, and it is there to do what I wish. Never going back.

Naw, you are fine.
- Comment on How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5? 5 weeks ago:
Combining RAM and NAND (flash) is really annoying as they are nothing alike. I’m assuming almost all of that is NAND, with 2-4GB of it being RAM.
- Comment on Day 550 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
Halo CE has remained my favorite, but I have always liked ODST quite a bit for changing up the formula and being an overall solid game.

Jesus fuck.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 month ago:
The GBA games? May I recomend EmuDeck? Works on every OS.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 month ago:
Tears of the Kingdom for $47 USD
That’s the thing. Such being considered a ‘discount’ is why people say Nintendo doesn’t discount games.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 month ago:
The Steam Deck is the better product anyway. Got one recently and damn is it good.
- Comment on I should assume I'm not going tomorrow, right? 1 month ago:
For anything that needs to be done “very quickly”, a phone call is the correct response. Do it right now.

Where the hell do you get 20 years jail for littering?
- Comment on I have an idea ☝️ 2 months ago:
Poster got a pokemon-themed, sexual story or role-play with an AI.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 2 months ago:
If most people don’t have a feeling for gender, why does gender even exist in the first place?
Gender and Sex were synonyms up until very recently, and many people still consider them synonyms. Gender was the ‘nice’ way to refer to one’s sex.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 2 months ago:
no feeling like other people have
Most people don’t really have much of a feeling there either. You just are. If you are cool with who you are, then there is nothing to worry about.
Don’t overthink it.
- Comment on After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series 2 months ago:
I think it may be time to install CoD4 again. Damn was that campaign good.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Shows from Korea have mostly Koreans. Shows from China have mostly Chinese. Shows from Brazil have mostly Brazilians.
I’m really confused on why any of that is odd?
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 2 months ago:
Pretty much. Gold is a time-tested store of value. But it is not a solid investment. (stores of value and investments are not the same thing)
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 2 months ago:
Gold is a solid store of value. That’s about it. It isn’t a terribly good investment as it just doesn’t gain value very fast compared to inflation. But, as I said, it is a solid store of value, so if that is what you are looking for, it isn’t a bad option.
If you want to invest, you are better off with index funds held over the long term.
invested a lot in gold under the belief that in the event of like complete societal collapse
If that happens, a better investment is to make yourself as self-sufficient as possible. Have a way to generate power (solar + batteries), acquire water (well water), sewage (leech field), stored food (just extra cans of food you normally eat), acquire food (a rifle and somewhere deer exist), security (that same rifle).
None of that is expensive or hard to get. But all of those are what you would want if you are worried about societal collapse.
- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’m confused on why they wouldn’t push KPop Demon Hunters. People like it.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I’m honestly amazed console gamer have accepted paying for multiplayer. I had a PS2, and I remember being excited about buying a PS3. It has a blu-ray player! The graphics are so much nicer!
I never bought a PS3, it had paid multiplayer. Fuck that.
