- Comment on There are solutions to our problems... 1 week ago:
primary example. ending homelessness. the solution is simple and proven. but the affluent have convinced everyone else that “it’s a complicated issue”
If you honestly, truly, believe it’s a complicated issue then you’ve fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. There are drug addicts that have homes, there are mentally ill people with homes, there are unemployed people with homes. But IF you are ANY of the three previously mentioned groups and you sleep on a sidewalk then suddenly it becomes complicated.
It’s the same for hunger. NO one needs to go hungry, we have enough food for everyone. hell we toss most it away daily. but again the powers that be have convinced everyone that food MUST be paid for and stealing it is wrong.
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 1 week ago:
yup very easy to setup too. it’s a VERY basic netinstall of Debian. but right now I have it to run builds, deploy, and even have nix on there to do some nixos stuff.
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 2 weeks ago:
honestly man…it’s not a bad decision. I for a long time didn’t give Debian the time of day. Now i’m daily driving OpenBSD and I use a Debian VM on it for certain dev work (mainly builds and deploys) and then on my second NVME I first went with Bazzite to do gaming but then I changed my mind and was like “meh, debian” and it’s solid. it’s good. it stays out of my way for what I want to do on it which isn’t much.
It’s a decent distro that’s just kinda there and you don’t have to worry about it.

well to be fair you’re smarter than people who use Omarchy so, hey bud, you got that going for you.
- Comment on They really hate artists 3 weeks ago:
it’s always funny reading posts by “AI advocates” like this because none of them actually work for any AI companies. they’re just linkedin fanboys of it. wannabe middle managers.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
honestly no excuse to be on it. I remember years and years ago when I left FB people kept saying “how will you stay in touch with your parents? family? etc” and i’m like “uh I have this device called a phone. ya see I input 10 numbers into it and it allows me to talk to my parents and family whenever I want. there’s also this new fangled thing called email.”
Plus my Mom is the only person I know that still uses it. My Dad was never into it and I have easier time rolling into the IRC chat rooms he frequents to get in touch than anything else. which usually means logging into a Slackware IRC room or the TechTV room he made hoping other former TechTV viewers will show up. but that’s a story for another time.
- Comment on Is Myspace coming back? Owners confirm relaunch plans 5 weeks ago:
it’s myspace of old, exactly, made by some kid in college. it’s good.
- Comment on Screen shot : Rebel Galaxy 5 weeks ago:
same. I really liked playing it but like you it never really hooked me in to finish playing it. The mechanics are great but the story is sort of meh.
The game mechanics though are a lot of fun. like navel combat in space. There was another online game a few years ago which was the same, Dreadnaughts. THAT game was awesome but it just never could maintain a playerbase. It had the same gameplay style except it had settings that were both in space and in the atmosphere of planets.

I’m just happy the Argies lost. if there’s one thing Argentina excels in it’s losing….and being racist.

something similar happened with me after I got covid. I’m dyslexic but now after covid it “ramped” up. not so much writing things, I’ve always had issues with that but just talking. slur my words more, switch words around, etc.
- Comment on Summer Games Done Quick 2026 has ended, raising US$2,408,701 for Doctors Without Borders 1 month ago:
yeah I remember that one. another great “cringe” moment was from a few years prior when someone was speed running one of the Zelda games and this woman who had been on stream in the audience the entire time knitting asked the runner to “pause the game” so she could tell her story about something regarding cancer or whatever.

Balatro and Manual Samuel were my favourites. had to mute the Pizza Tower run because it was a shame the guy sitting on the couch kept insisting on talking over everyone, even the dev of the damn game.

“Greetings from Germany…” ah yeas the bi-yearly reminder that the Germans do in fact exist and have access to the internet in their mystical land.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 2 months ago:
yes! the maps were awesome. Or some other stuff you’d get with the game. Like with the first Max Payne you got a really cool mousepad. used that thing for years. Also had one that I believe came with Star Wars Rebel Assault.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 2 months ago:
do it. I don’t care about the practicality of it all I loved those big boxes. But they also need to have the big manuals inside also.
Some of those manuals were absolutely awesome. Like the one for the first Heavy Gear. or the old flight sim games. Or like the original release of Final Fantasy 7 on PC by Edios came with a brady’s strategy guide. Heck bring back strategy guides too! I remember when World of Warcraft first came out I picked up the strategy guide with it cause it was full of WoW related Penny-Arcade comics in it and I was (heck still am) a massive fan of Penny-Arcade.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 2 months ago:
they cost about the same though. An Asus slim external 8x DVD usb 2.0 writer costs $50. a 256gb thumb drive costs $50. And i’m using 256GB as an example for modern games that can potentially be well over 100gb. Add to the fact said DVD drive is going to last a lot longer than a USB thumb drive. those thumb drives have a lifespan of like 5 years.
- Comment on End of an era? 2 months ago:
eventually but that will likely be long after most of us are dead. old consoles and carts are built like a brick house and most of them are repairable even games that have batteries. Just look at the N64 for example. that thing is like the Toyata truck of consoles.

man just release another better version of the PSP/Vita. those things were awesome.
- Comment on GTA 6 is a 'singleplayer experience,' GTA Online may be sold separately 2 months ago:
yes but if you initially charge for it then you can make MORE money.
Honestly they could go the MMO route of old and charge you for the game, then charge you a monthly sub, then charge you via an ingame shop and people would gladly pay it. I mean hell just look at WoW, that thing is still raking in money 20+ years after initial release and it does all of the above.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 months ago:
there are a lot of gems for the DC ESPECIALLY if you import from japan or heck just burn japanese games to a CD-R.
Honesly yeah going the GD-Rom route really hurt them. the system was just so painfully easy to pirate for and play imports.
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 2 months ago:
I think gaming as a kid was better simply because of the fact there was a bit of mystery to it.
you rarely knew about upcoming game releases unless it was a major title or was heavily advertised in like GamePro or EGM. most of the time you’d go to the store or a rental place and you’d discover a game right there on the shelf. Some of my favourite games I never knew existed until I rented them from Blockbuster. And many times recommendations game from previously said magazines or word of mouth via your friends. And if a game was cancelled prior to release chances are you wouldn’t be bummed about it simply because you probably didn’t know it existed in the first place.
We don’t have that now. now everything is covered from head to toe everywhere or in early access or whatever. takes the fun out of it.
Also there was nothing better than picking up a game and reading the manual on the drive home.

woah wait THIS is the dude from that story about the 80 something year old who had his entire Star Wars Lego collection stolen by some lego store!? holy crap the fuck is going on.
I briefly read a short blurb about it the other day and then today I see this “reckless ben” posted all over the place and had no clue the two things were related.

wait Persona 5 came out nearly 10 years ago? no way feels like it was 4 or 5 years ago. damn I now suddenly feel very old.

one of my favourite series. Happy Sega was able to get the license back for the music cause the last PC Port didn’t have it.

huh…a Souls Like Gundam? that’s what it looked like to me. Also interesting to see Gundam vs what appear to be monsters and not mobile suits.
- Comment on Is it safe to use a non-gaming computer for light gaming? 3 months ago:
I have a Thinkpad E595 that has a Ryzen 7 and an inegrated Radeon Vega 10 GPU. I game on it. works just dandy.
I’m left handed so the fact it has a numpad makes it instantly better for me than a gaming computer. add to the fact since it’s a thinkpad it’s reliable. like 6 years old and still running perfectly fine.
compare that to the POS Asus ROG Strix G15 I recently had. crapped on me in less than 4 years because the mobo just went to shit. constantly overheated to the point it cooked itself even with repasting every few months and cleaning the fans. crap computer, never buy Asus.
