- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 1 week ago:
from a, a coworker and b, a manager
A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?
If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 1 week ago:
I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, Steam in-home-streaming is great and is something I have used on many an occasion.
Game streaming over the internet is simply miserable.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, from the world’s perspective, this is a problem that solves itself in a few years. Plus, the idea of ‘doing something’ about a country is not a very common action. The most common action is to ignore the BS best you can, focus on building up allies, and focus on building up your own country.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
Veritasium did a great video on it. Anything I can say about it will be 10x worse than that video.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
Side rant:
To make it worse, SMS is incredibly insecure. Nothing should send you codes via SMS, and if you have the option to use an authenticator app, do that. It’s atrocious so many banks only have SMS as an option.
The really dumb part is, the SMS codes are literally the same authenticator program, but running on their servers and sent do you via an insecure medium.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
I 100% get what you are saying. But I’m also 100% fine with voting with my wallet and not support game developers that want kernel-level access to my machine.
Think about the EA stuff. You install one of their games, and now Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner* now have kernel-level access to your machine. Why, why the hell is that worth a game?
*I wish I was joking

Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?
This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting ‘next’.

The chart is based on ProtonDB, which covers all Steam games.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 4 weeks ago:
They also bring old games back so they work on modern computers. Like Breath of Fire IV.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 4 weeks ago:
This is the way. Let’s them build on existing work and goodwill, while making a solid product people want.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I can confirm Heroic works well on Linux. Just finished up my Silksong play-through this week. :)
- Comment on Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer 4 weeks ago:
He did make a new, expanded version about two years ago. I’m probably going to give the mod a go. :)
- Comment on Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer 4 weeks ago:
They already made this remake. You can buy it on Steam for $10

- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 4 weeks ago:
Absolutely.
- Comment on $1,000 for a ROG Xbox Ally X? Oh yeah, that was Asus' idea, says Microsoft exec 5 weeks ago:
Well, you didn’t have to put the Xbox name on a $1,000 device that doesn’t even play Xbox games…
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 month ago:
The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 1 month ago:
Paying extra just to have access to multiplayer is one of the core reasons I sold my 360 and haven’t bought a console since. PS2 and latest PC are both golden!
- Comment on why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime? 1 month ago:
The BIOS on that is clearly a bit odd, I haven’t seen that as a requirement before. That said, the BIOS battery is probably dead. Replace that and it should fix the issue.
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 1 month ago:
You are having a pretty big issue here. Don’t try, do. You can wean yourself in just a few days. Or cold turkey if you don’t think you can keep to a weaning schedule.

After having lived though many of these. Just turn off the news for a few weeks. You probably won’t even notice when it comes back without someone telling you.

$3,800 and you fully own your 2.25 acres. That shit won’t take long to pay off. Now, you actually own more than the hunter/gatherer did!
- Comment on Anon is exploited 2 months ago:
OP shouldn’t be doing 1h of unpaid overtime every day. Just simply don’t do it. Get a new job if necessary.
- Comment on Anon is exploited 2 months ago:
If you own/use as much as a hunter-gather owned/used, you also wouldn’t need to work very much.
Take away the fridge, tv, computer, phone, car, hvac, stove, microwave, water, electricity, gas, 95% of the house, going out to eat, etc. You are not left with many expenses. You can live that way, it doesn’t require much working to maintain that lifestyle.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
Nothing but to agree.
Cancer existed before cigarettes. Therefore "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancer is entirely full of crap”.
But we are way past the point of facts.
Clearly, since this ‘meme’ is using some real bad arguments to try to prove facts.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
No, it just makes you look dumb for refuting a false statement with another bad argument.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
The logic of the ‘meme’ is faulty. Something being identified before something else does not mean the second thing cannot create the first.
Cancer existed before cigarettes, yet cigarettes still cause cancer. Using this ‘meme’s’ logic, “anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancers is entirely full of crap”.
- Comment on OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws 2 months ago:
A hallucination is something that disagrees with your active inputs (ears, eyes, etc). AIs don’t have these active inputs, all they have is the human equivalent of memories. Everything they draw up is a hallucination, literally all of it. It’s simply coincidence the hallucination matches reality.
Is it really surprising that the thing that can only create hallucinations is often wrong? That the thing that can only create hallucinations will continue to be wrong on a regular basis?
