- Comment on NBC Interview abruptly ends after New Yorker blames private equity and landlords for the city's issues 4 days ago:
I love when they do this because it saves us the effort of determining legitimacy. If shows how they really feel. It removes the pomp and circumstance of pretending to be real news. But I’m done reiterating my point 3 times. We have the fake news our orange pedophile always wanted. His only success.

Nah. Fuck Rockstar.

I felt like it jumped the shark when 3 came out. I did not enjoy it at all.
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 2 weeks ago:
I work with older guys. Unix engineers. They’re a bit reticent to change. They’ve been at it for 20+ years on average so they sneer at this Agile stuff. And I don’t blame them. They are at least interested in automation so I’ve slowly been getting them involved there. Positive movement there so far just takes time and lots of conversations.
These dudes you describe sound like total imbeciles.
- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 4 weeks ago:
I like the uncluttered design. If the buttons feel good I’ll have to check it out as it’s one of my favorite handheld profiles.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
When you know a choice you made should have immediate or impending consequences, but the world carries on as if it’s business as usual. I was actually surprised when the opposite happened in Outer Worlds 2 recently. If you trigger a certain event and don’t go deal with it ASAP, it will happen without you and there are consequences.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 month ago:
Hardly any exclusives. Hardware is more and more meh with every release. We broke. Steam and GoG are so convenient I don’t even think about it. Nintendo will die a patent troll death.
- Comment on Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead' 2 months ago:
Yeah, we’re in the same boat. I’m going through the backlog, but I have yet to truly find my comfort food even though those two games are excellent. Especially PoE2.
Regardless, agree on your points. The latter two franchises have shown that live-service can be done well. Though I still don’t quite get how Warframe pulls it off… I guess it’s that they never broke their model while Bungie… you know.
For Last Epoch, the campaign wasn’t even finished and then suddenly. Don’t write checks you can’t cash, I guess.

They should have just put a fork in it when it became very apparent early on it was too ambitious for the studio to handle. And that was long before it blew up in popularity. Now the game has been unprofitable for the past few expansions and their owners are coming to collect. Live service was a massive, greedy mistake as Bungie is also not learning with D2.

That’s a gentle way to put it 😆. But I agree it’s so great. Need to get back into it at some point.

Must be nice to simply write off 250+ million. Sony needs to be broken up.

Sony seemed to want it to fail. Reviewers only got their hands on it shortly before release. Most didn’t like it. Marvel Rivals was dropping soon. It was doomed.

Very similar to my account.
- Comment on Anon sees a happy couple 1 year ago:
My wife destroys me in puzzle games, farm management sims and difficult platformers that make me rage like Spelunky. Any shooter however, she is a bit lost but she happily loots away and explores while I’m demolishing everything. It’s nice having a shared activity we can nerd out about.
- Comment on sterile rot 1 year ago:
Just read an article that was basically saying we should consider all gut flora frenemies now. If you don’t eat enough fiber even the “good” kinds that help your body process it will go for your mucus lining, breach the cell barrier and enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation and may also accelerate aging. Neat.
TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.

Can confirm the first part. But then he says if you have too much experience you get less bites. And late night calls without more pay are an issue. Then tells us to “upskill” and have a “side hustle.”
A bit contradictory.

- Comment on Anon's PC works 1 year ago:
Only stopped using my Bulldozer-era box because it started crashing and freezing. And a BIOS fix Asus support suggested nuked my board. I had the thing maxed out… 12 SSDs in soft RAID, GTX570s in SLI. It was a monster. I still have most of the parts and I’m sure it would run a lot of stuff just fine at the cost of heat and noise :]

Prob fake but imagine spending a lot of time trying to form a friendship with someone and in the end you find they were only trying to fuck the entire time.

I like the utility feed hanging off the front of the house going straight through the roof and blocking them from installing the other fake shutter. I wonder what other construction horrors lurk inside.
- Comment on Nightingale Developer Inflexion Games Is Laying Off Staff 1 year ago:
They jumped the gun releasing without a campaign at launch. People were merciless in reviews about that. It’s better since that was added but still feels a bit hollow. I hope this isn’t a mistake because it has potential and seems like it’s evolving quickly.
- Comment on Anon recommends a cast iron pan 1 year ago:
I’ve had one for roughly 15 years and use it almost every day. I most often use it as a baking pan or for grilling things. Not much sticks to it and what does is easily scrubbed off. I don’t season it in any meticulous way, just put a coat of cooking oil on and toss it in the oven every few months. I don’t cook acidic things in it - that is the rare time I use the stainless. I definitely understand why some don’t like the weight but I’m used to it.
- Comment on Nightingale's Realms Rebuilt update arrives tomorrow and aims to revive the game with a handcrafted campaign 1 year ago:
I was bummed when I saw it launched in a crappy state. I thought it looked really neat as well. From recent reviews it seems they have fixed a ton of stuff and are rapidly fixing things so I copped it. Hopefully I can finally play it this weekend.
- Comment on "Concord servers are now offline. Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy" 1 year ago:
I didn’t know it existed until a popular streamer begrudgingly “reviewed” it at the last minute. Found it strange that there was zero marketing for such an expensive and long developed investment.
- Comment on I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me? 1 year ago:
Not sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.
- Comment on I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me? 1 year ago:
Your email address was probably harvested from a compromised site you used it to sign up with. There are sites where you can check to see if it’s compromised. This is why I started using email aliases when signing up for any site or service. It shows where it was compromised or you’ll find some companies will share it with partners or sell your info sometimes.

Yep. It’s such a nice piece of hardware. And the games hold up to this day. Glad it’s appreciated now.
