• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell Is Us lead says Silksong's short notice release date was "a little callous," even if he's happy they didn't delay it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The alternative is to release a date early, have everyone shift around your schedule, find out it’s not done, delay it, have everyone shift around your schedule again, find out it’s still not done, have everyone shift around your schedule YET AGAIN, etc, etc.

  Naw, release games when they are done. Silksong did it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far Cry series will push multiplayer "more predominantly" going forwards, according to Ubisoft boss⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

  Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is clearly in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.

  I remember when it first came out, you couldn’t even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps…that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux’s repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Nexus's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to make up for some of the lost traction!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a re-upload by a third party. Which is perfectly acceptable, but do note it’s not back up on Gamer’s Nexus’ page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fossil fuels vegan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If ’ you mean carbon dioxide, then I hate to tell you, but you make that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fossil fuels vegan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  • Coal is made from plants.

  • Oil is made from plankton and algae.

  • Natural gas is made from microorganisms.

  I believe all three have a small chance of also being made from an animal. But I wasn’t able to verify that part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Get the Reaper Crest and Unlock Heavy Attacks in Hollow Knight Silksong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Downvoting since this is a game guide/spoilers, and not something that is intended to be brought to someone’s attention. If someone is confused about how to get this, they will either figure it out or look it up and come to this article themselves.

  Naw, 5 and 6 are where it is at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there "headhunters" that work *for* you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  External recruiters often get paid more after you have been with a company for a year. Furthermore, both you and the employer have to accept the other (do remember, particularly after entry level, interviews go both ways).

  They are fairly motivated to get you where you need to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract

  Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:

  1. There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.

  2. One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?

  It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.

  The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He is probably referring to the North Crimean Canal which fed water into Crimea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. Ukraine shut down the canal as they are under no obligation to provide water for crops in Russian occupied territory.

  This canal was fed by water from Kakhovka Dam’s reservoir. However, Russia blew up this Ukrainian dam in 2023, which has since cut off all potential possibility to fill the canal.

  In summary, Russia invaded Ukraine, fucked a bunch of shit up, killed a ton of people, and is trying to pin the blame on Ukraine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  modern cars are Internet-connected

  This in itself is terrifying. It isn’t like they are going to provide security updates for your car for decades. Unplug that modem, no reason for your car to be exposed to the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t believe that some companies would pay a quarter of a million for a server that is intentionally stunted/limited unless you pay even more.

  Well, there is a reason AMD has been kicking ass in the server space lately. Mostly because Intel sat on their ass for awhile, but IBM scalping customers certainly provided a larger opening for AMD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download.

  So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: There Is A Performance Gap Between Switch 2 Game Cards Vs. Internal Storage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Switch could easily copy the game from the card to the local SSD and remove any performance penalty. Just like computers used to do with games on CD.

  They shouldn’t have promised a massive bonus for an on-time delivery if what they actually wanted was a fully baked game. You get the performance your KPIs measure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have heard both quarterly and twice a year. There really is a ton of ‘it depends’. Mostly, does it look caked on after a quarter? If not, twice a year is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub folds into Microsoft following CEO resignation — once independent programming site now part of 'CoreAI' team⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  site now part of ‘CoreAI’ team

  Are they trying to make GitHub into something that creates code instead of something used for collaboration and hosting of code? Ewww.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vastly cheaper and healthier than mold.

  Never fuck around with water/humidity as a home owner. Do it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  PSA: Change your HVAC’s air filter if you haven’t yet this quarter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dehumidifier in the summer, particularly in basement areas, is a good idea as well. The AC will lower humidity, but depending on your setup may not fully lower it to the right level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EBay is worth it for anything that is easy to ship (read: small) and has decent value. Particularly if that thing is fairly niche so you need a wider net to catch people. Do note there are effectively zero seller protections on EBay, it’s not hard for a buyer to scam you.

  For anything that is hard to ship, Cragislist or FB Marketplace is a much better stop. And, since you sell with cash, the deal is complete once you part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  An interesting fact: English-language adoption of Linux on Steam is over 2x the overall, all-language adoption. This mostly cuts out Chinese (25% of users), Russian (8% of users), and Spanish (5% of users). Seems America and Europe is adopting while China isn’t.

  Just avoid the games that use them.

  Agreed. I have no desire to give EA root access to my system, full access to everything I do on it … just to play a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The cloud is just someone else’s computer.

  you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything

  Absolutely not. That data should be in at least two places. A local and a remote is the general setup. If a cloud provider is the main source of the data, the ‘remote’ location would probably be your house. ;p
