- 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? 6 days 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 1 week ago:
Fanboying consoles and platform exclusives are old and lame. Get with the times, grampa.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
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 weeks 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 1 month ago:
The US has a left lean (“left” by US standards). What I mean by that is it’s not an even split. The majority of Americans lean left. The only reasons the right has any power in this country is due to the first past the post voting system, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the electoral college.

It’s great.
- Comment on Oblivion Horse Armour dev looks back on hated DLC – “We had no idea what we were doing” 2 months ago:
I will admit to being one of the people who bought this DLC when it came out. I was very engrossed in the game at that time and felt like $2.50 was trivial enough that I just went for it.
Now, I was uninformed about what the armor did and was disappointed that it was only cosmetic. But I don’t remember regretting buying it.
In hindsight, I wish I hadn’t bought it. And it’s something I wouldn’t buy now.

What about your assumptions is useful to anyone?
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 2 months ago:
Valve have done scummy things, too. But I’m not going to pretend that somehow they’re both equally bad.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 2 months ago:
I’m never giving the company that made billions exploiting the FOMO of children my money. I won’t install the launcher. I don’t didn’t need their free games.
I don’t didn’t care if they can throw their massive pile of Fortnite cash around to give developers more money.

Hey, they did a good job, and no one was being mean about it. That’s nice.

Right, I forgot there was a second one. I meant the one with Timothy Olyphant.

Am I the only one who enjoyed the Hitman movie? I haven’t seen it in a long time, and I never played the games.

I guarantee this game is nothing like that. It will be forgotten immediately.
- Comment on How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy? 3 months ago:
“I just don’t want someone taller/stronger/heavier than me”
I hate this so much. It’s the inverse of women who will only date tall men.
Speaking for myself, I like women. And that means all kinds. It’s so hard for me to imagine seeing a woman who falls outside the “standard” and being turned off by that alone.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 4 months ago:
Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.
Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.
- Comment on Valve rumored to be working on Android emulator for Steam 5 months ago:
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn’t get terribly far with it.

The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn’t have switched if not for Valve.
