- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 6 days ago:
Because of Proton and also how shit can just break on Linux (see the current glibc fiasco), it might be better to have just a Windows version.
I when I play a game, I don’t even notice if it’s Linux native unless the game specifically tells me it’s a Linux build.

To me, going and picking up food IS the lazy option. I refuse to be lazier than that. I mean, that’s not true. If delivery was free, I’d use it.
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 3 weeks ago:
I had never seen the original until right before watching the sequel. While I really appreciate the original, I had no real expectations from the sequel, but it still blew me away.
I honestly can’t say I’ve ever seen a better sequel. Especially not so long after the first one came out. It’s pretty amazing.

The first movie I saw with Gosling was Lars and the Real Girl. I didn’t get his appeal then, but I do now. I should watch that movie again because as weird as that movie is, I think his performance is stellar.
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 3 weeks ago:
People who grew up with the original will probably flay me for this.
Bladerunner 2049 was a better movie than Bladerunner. It took everything that was great about the original and improved upon it.

Look at your banks and credit cards features. Some of them have virtual cards that you can use. They’re temporary numbers you can use to buy things.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode is Out Now! 4 weeks ago:
Good to know. I thought it was behind on features.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode is Out Now! 4 weeks ago:
The free version is out of date because they’ve been putting all of their effort into the steam version. It’s with every penny.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode is Out Now! 4 weeks ago:
I can’t speak to what it was like pre steam, but they have updated it in the past to be much better. It’s in the patch notes somewhere.

Coming from 4chan, I read it as loser whinging about “woke”.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I didn’t think it’s just Arch , though. IIRC it’s also immutable.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 1 month ago:
Caves of Qud. I was playing it when the clock hit midnight because I lost track of time.

Valve bootlickers
It ain’t like that, kiddo. I support other stores like GoG, too. I just refuse to ever use EGS unless they completely change.
- Comment on I’m Tired of Pretending Physical Media Isn’t Still Better Than Streaming Digital 1 month ago:
I’m tired of “I’m tired of pretending”.
It’s almost as annoying as “who says X can’t Y”.
They’re so rhetorically empty.

Rule #1 of firearms safety is to not point a gun at anything you don’t want to shoot.
How the fuck would that work in a movie, exactly?

- Comment on I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help? 2 months ago:
It’s funny the biases that crop up in these threads. Another poster says to format the drive and reinstall windows with de-bloating software and that gets upvoted while probably being a more complex process than installing Linux.
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 no longer exclusive to Xbox, is now coming to PS5 – WGB 2 months ago:
Fanboying consoles and platform exclusives are old and lame. Get with the times, grampa.

Also as if people of the “same culture” aren’t equally as hard to live around.
- Comment on How Shopping Malls Are Being Transformed Into Apartments In The U.S. 2 months ago:
Agreed on all fronts. I’d love to live in something like this as long as the mall had stores in it I liked. Like a true mixed use building.

You can buy an induction burner for like $50 and they work great and have no fire risk.
- Comment on 1080p viewing experience 2 months ago:
YouTube compresses the shit out of 1080p content. Any video that has a lot of movement will look like trash at 1080p. Even if you’re on a lower resolution monitor, the higher bit rate of higher resolution videos will look better. It’s all very stupid on our end, but I assume it saves them a ton on bandwidth.

I’m sorry, sir. I’ll get off your lawn ASAP!
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 2 months ago:
That one’s tough. I went in blind when the steam version released and had a blast. The actual “game” part is not challenging once you figure out the basics. The fun of it is the stories that spring up that are mostly out of your control.
So, I’d say going in blind, but being open to asking questions or googling specific things is a great way to play it.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
Rust is great, and I truly mean that. But saying you can’t get race conditions in Rust is just not true.
And also, not everything is going to be written in Rust. When the company you’re working for needs a web application quickly, that’s better done in other languages.
And also also, Spring has a lot of niceties when it comes to concurrency that make this much less of a point.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
No. Every language has its haters. There’s a reason Java is so widely used. If you like it, keep at it.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
I’ve been programming in Java professionally for 11 years. It’s not just embellishment, it’s outright lying.
Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you’re shit at it.
Java has come a long way. I will admit that UI in Java is terrible. I would never do that.
- Comment on Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update 3 months ago:
I was so excited for the game that I got ahold of a leaked alpha before the game released and played that. And then of course pre-ordered the game and played it immediately when it released.

I was really excited for Otherworld.
