Correction: no they didn’t order anything. They haven’t held the hearing yet.
- Comment on Is Starlink even good for online gaming? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, that was absolute highway robbery. But we had no other options and they knew it. They robbed us blind, and we dropped them the instant starlink became available.

Nevada, USA

Yeaaah, here in the US DSL is more like 6/1.5 at best. And no, that’s not a typo.
- Comment on Is Starlink even good for online gaming? 2 weeks ago:
Those of us subscribed to Starlink aren’t here because we have options. Honestly, it’s decent. IIRC it’s $110/mo for on average 300 down 15 up. Is that amazing? No. Is fiber better? Yes. But they’re not marketing to people who have fiber as an option. They’re marketing to people like me, who used to pay $460/mo for 60/15 microwave internet with frequent downtime -and- data caps. If you have to ask “but which one is better”, the simple answer is generally fiber > starlink > cable > microwave > dsl/satellite > dialup. And I refuse to rank 5G service because that depends on too many factors.

I use it (begrudgingly, but options out here suck), you’re wrong. It’s closer to 70-80ms. Though it has definitely improved over time, it may have been worse during the early beta.
- Comment on Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned 1 month ago:
Families have inherent relationships built that can be nodded at without much conversation being necessary. Basically porn with plot without requiring as much plot.

And just like the walruses, they’ll kill you if you’re not careful.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 months ago:
To be fair, I rarely buy games over $10, and frequently even that is a stretch. I’ve built my library heavily from bundles. It’s still a decent amount when you look at it as a single lump sum, but it’s also the entirety of my entertainment budget and it’s been obtained fairly steadily over a period of 13 years. Per hour it’s still pretty cheap.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 months ago:
Video games are a cheap hobby they said. So many options they said…

Trillian itself was a proprietary knockoff of Gaim, which later became Pidgin. Surprisingly both Trillian and Pidgin are still alive and in use today.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] How Razer Screws Customers | Hardware, Software, & Support Failures 7 months ago:
This isn’t news to anyone who’s ever used Razer products. They’re amazing fresh from the box, but have crap durability, horrible software, and laughable support.

I’d consider that an invitation to build a pizza catapult into the roof. Chuck it back at the thrower instantly.

A site that basically exists purely to dox and harass people.
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 11 months ago:
But of course.

Got it, so wait for it in humble bundle or buy it once it sinks to $5.

Good news, after obtaining a piece of neutron star in those dimensions, you wouldn’t need to worry about it anymore.
- Comment on Torrenting is not allowed on Windscribe 1 year ago:
Fucking news to me. I torrent often on windscribe.
- Comment on Is there a way to get a massive dump of memory stuff off my laptop by uploading it to a torrent? If so how and can I make it private just for my access? 1 year ago:
Depends on your skill level, but I always found rsync the best tool for transferring between two systems, regardless of distance.
- Comment on Why didn't *I* think of that? 1 year ago:
Looks like no land tax because the house is not on land. The river undoubtedly is town/city property, so taxation of the land wouldn’t work.
- Comment on gross either way, but do friends actually talk like this or would this be from people who are dating or something? 1 year ago:
I did something of that nature in a group chat once -with consent (and encouragement) of the people in the group chat-. Without that consent it’s just creepy to involve other people. That said, I played a MUD where it was quite common for casual acquaintances to engage in this sort of play in private. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it other than the lack of consent.

AI consumed the original paper, interpreted it as a single combined term, and regurgitated it for researchers too lazy to write their own papers.

Warframe just did it too. Fantastic move.

I’m honestly somewhat offended at the mere suggestion that this could be acceptable.

Nah, AudioGalaxy. Or DALnet.
- Comment on You're Emulating Retro Games Wrong (you need CRT Shaders) 1 year ago:
Honestly, I hate the CRT aesthetic. I grew up with CRTs. Leaving them behind for LCDs was one of the greatest transitions of growing up. By all means, enjoy them if you do, but I don’t.
