- Comment on Remember episodic gaming? Former Telltale devs are bringing it back for the release of Dispatch, and there's a chance it might work this time | Eurogamer 1 day ago:
Back To The Future was the first one I played as it came out. Love the Walking Dead series. Need more adaptations of the comics rather than the show.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 5 days ago:
Sure, that’s true. I was a year 1 backer, just after the initial Kickstarter ended, so I guess to me that part of the context kind of spoke for itself. Thanks for highlighting it, I honestly do appreciate it.

The bigger context of that quote is basically that they’re heads down and preparing for crunch. The person who said, “I don’t know if we’re going to make it” also said “but we’re doing everything we can to make it happen” (this is my paraphrase, I don’t know if I got the exact wording)

This reads like ChatGPT wrote it
- Comment on Google sucks 1 week ago:
If you’re planning to run Jellyfin or Plex, I’d recommend a low-profile Intel ARC GPU.
Those things transcode video like nobody’s business and they’re not all that much more expensive than the GTX 750 people have mentioned in this thread

Pretty sure it’s a joke.
- Comment on PS5 Digital Edition consoles are reportedly getting a quiet storage downgrade | VGC 1 week ago:
Well word is that the PS6 is aimed to be a Switch 2 competitor, which honestly makes sense. Graphics continuing to improve is slow enough going these days and the Switch 2 is selling gangbusters.
With any luck, by acknowledging Nintendo they’re taking on the 2nd place mentality again.
- Comment on PC modders optimise Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater before Konami does, and add Hideo Kojima to boot | Eurogamer 2 weeks ago:
Only if it’s a PC-exclusive

They work fine for me
- Comment on Utter bullshit like this 3 weeks ago:
Slop as a slang term is far older than its present use to primarily describe the output of AI, see Merriam Webster’s definition 4-C for the second noun meaning of the word:
a product of little or no value : rubbish
watching the usual slop on TV
- Comment on Superfan Ben Stiller Has A Star Trek Pitch, Says It’s Important For Franchise To Return To Big Screen 4 weeks ago:
IDK, Ben Stiller made Severance, which is pretty thoughtful, philosophical sci-fi. He’s got the chops and the interest in making something, the idea leaves me cautiously optimistic.

Hamburgling?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I agree that those are huge issues. I guess in my opinion, philosophy courses like what I described tend to improve literacy and math skills by requiring you read and write deliberately, think about the nuances of words, and build logical, self-consistent arguments/statements.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Actual inter-religious comparative theology is probably even better for developing skeptical critical thinkers than not teaching people about religion at all. I would love to see schools adopt that sort of coursework.

Yeah, Final Fantasy 1 and 8, I think
- Comment on Can magnet damage hard disk? 1 month ago:
All good, I just wanted you to know how it’s spelled. Not angry or upset
- Comment on Can magnet damage hard disk? 1 month ago:
“relief” is how that word is spelled. Like belief.

And a movie
- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 2 months ago:
It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.
I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam? 2 months ago:
Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It’s a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO
- Comment on Does anyone play Final Fantasy XIV? 2 months ago:
I don’t play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.

Yeah, it’s really all just cost savings. On their overpriced “luxury” cars
- Comment on Anon likes trains 2 months ago:
Amtrak is not cheaper, but trains in other countries are. Because Amtrak, specifically, sucks.

Good point
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 3 months ago:
I understood their point. My point is that it was a one line throwaway gag on The Simpsons. Not necessarily a commentary on real world police hiring practices so much as a joke about both the police in that show and Homer.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 3 months ago:
Considering how dumb the police chief is on that show, I think it was an intentional joke
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ Debuts in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 3 months ago:
It’s the debut of the re-recorded version. The re-recording of the album that it’s from hasn’t been released yet.
Now that said, I’m personally a bit upset that I know this. People like to describe her as being eclectic and versatile, but I find her to simply be the most bland, generic pop star of all time.
