- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 2 weeks ago:
What you don’t remember where the armies of bot accounts it brought into Steam. People would pay for votes and get scams and money grabs greenlit while indies couldn’t even get a foot on the door. YouTube channels made series about playing the shovelware and mocking the system. There’s a reason it was done away with.

Greenlight saw one of the biggests flood of shovel ware in Steam’s history. The store hasn’t actually recovered since.
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 2 weeks ago:
The White House made it so that all inmigrants are criminals by default because they entered the country illegally. Turning innocent until proven guilty on its head. Now everyone is guilty by association.
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 4 weeks ago:
There’s a mild reaction from media because media conglomerates are on board with the plan. Commentators made up the autistic apology immediately on the spot, because they’re ableist and assholes themselves.
It’s like media excusing sexual predators because they had a rough life growing up gay and similar excuses. It’s a double whammy, excusing the offender in the public light while simultaneously demonizing a minority. It’s a playbook neo fascist move.

This is the weirdest homophobic and also misogynistic take I’ve read. You took “I’ve got nothing against the gaus, but…” to a new deranged level.
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 4 weeks ago:
Honesty here. The autistic argument is really offensive to people with autism, I asked a friend with high functioning autism about his opinion. It mistreats the condition to transform it into a political scapegoat. It misrepresents what autism is. Elon is not autistic, he’s is just a narcissist and always high on ketamine. I’ve met dozens of autistic persons, and not even once has anyone ever done the Nazi salute on accident, not even on highly euphoric social events. To suggest the autistic apology makes the person mentioning it sound awfully ableist and like an asshole. I suggest you don’t ever mention it out loud to anyone ever again. It’s insidious and dehumanizing against people with cognitive issues.

Weren’t those accessories just wrist straps?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 5 weeks ago:
It looked like they were mimicking cars to me, not mice. Not saying that it wouldn’t be a cool concept if it has an optical sensor. But they didn’t show any visual feedback to imply they were controlling any kind of cursor. If that was the implication, it’s obvious it was a rushed marketing piece.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 5 weeks ago:
I think that’s still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn’t beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won’t.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 5 weeks ago:
Which mouse thing? they seem to be exactly all the same inputs the Switch 1 already had.
- Comment on How to take CPU out? 5 weeks ago:
You won’t bend anything. If properly installed you should be able to just pick the CPU up and remove it without moving the case at all. The idea of socket is that they’re all the same regardless of motherboard manufacturer. I looked it up and there’s nothing special, particular or unique to your motherboard. Just follow the proper procedure.
- Comment on How to take CPU out? 5 weeks ago:
The AM5 is a frictionless socket. So, beyond the force frame, there’s nothing holding the CPU in. Remove the heatsink though, as the heatsink is (ideally) bolted to the motherboard and not glued to the CPU. If you as much as tilt the case the CPU should come off loose, provided you lifted the cam lever and the force frame.
Here’s a diagram. The hole walls around the chip shouldn’t matter at all. You can put whatever thin plastic lever around and lift it without any issue. Even with your bare nails. This is what it should look like completely open.
- Comment on Chants of Sennaar, a puzzle game where you decipher an alien language (Demo available) 1 month ago:
If you are open to try a more adventure oriented spin on this, then try Tunic. Where the main game mechanic is translating the game’s manual by learning the language of the world.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Arriving 10 minutes late sometimes and being punctual aren’t related. (Don’t get angry, keep reading) If you aren’t making anyone wait for you, someone who really needs you, like a coworker waiting for a shift change, opening a store, a meeting, or attending a client, then you’re not late. It’s your time and your work, if the work is being done and delivered on time, then you are punctual, doesn’t matter if you arrived 10 minutes late that day.
That’s why at my office meetings are not allowed exactly at 8 or later than 4 pm, nor at lunch times. We are adults, we recognize we all have personal lives.
At my last job I worked with a boomer manager. She was always 15 minutes early, great, right? She had the worst work ethic I have ever seen. She usually left at 9 or so to do personal errands. Would take extended lunches for two hours or more. She would regularly cancel last minute or entirely miss meetings. Would leave late every single day, usually closing office (turns out she was embezzling money). Did she extend these courtesies to her employees? Not at all, she would give warnings and fire people, check cameras and comb timesheets to deduct wages, would complaint about bathroom breaks and fired a coworker for taking maternity leave. The point is, punctuality is a value about being considerate with other people’s time, not enslaving to a clock. Chairs have no feelings.

I doubt any higher up is “barely scraping by”. And as another comment brought up the recipes, this is most definitely a bot.
- Comment on alpha 2 months ago:
Thats the funniest part about this belief. The pop version is not even accurate to the original research, just a gross misinterpretation. The original bogus hierarchy started with the alpha couple, who are supposed to be the only reproductive couple of the pack. The rest of the population was simply defined by feeding hierarchy, who ate first. This might sound plausible but it only makes sense when you live in a fenced enclosure and there’s only like 8 of you, no den space for offspring and you can’t leave to find non-family mates. But then people made up a bunch of zodiac style personalities for this shit, and they’re just as scientific.
- Comment on I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form 2 months ago:
Zodiac signs are about as accurate as tarot readings or reading tea leaves. They’re even wrong about what they are based on. The star locations and sun precession hasn’t coincided with the original 12 zodiac constellations for centuries. People use the dates and signs as they were set by astrology tradition ages ago, but the dates when the sun changes from one constellation to the next is also absolutely arbitrary to make it match exactly 4 and a half weeks.
The personality descriptions for zodiac signs are textbook examples of cold reading. A technique of making intentionally ambiguous but agreeable affirmations so that people project their self-view onto the descriptions disregarding evidence or specifities.
It is a superstition as it is the belief on the supernatural influence of the relative apparent position of stars in the sky over the behavior and personality of individuals. It’s a, mostly, harmless superstition, but superstitious none the less.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s most likely a troll attempt. The mix up of race with sexuality and the vague ambiguous wording of the question aimed at confuse and enrage the audience seem intentional. It is not a stupid question. But it has been phrased with all the hallmarks of bad faith.

This why kernel level anticheat is the stupidiest idea. It’s already hard enough to have the developers coordinate on a mission critical component of the OS. Now imagine dozens of profit hungry, lowest effort publishing companies all meddling and putting their greasy hands into that code at the same time. No, thank you.

- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
Nuclear has gone the other direction. Nuclear power is more expensive now than it was when it began, and is only getting more expensive.
Ask why? don’t just stay with oil companies PR talk points. Nuclear is expensive because innovation has been artificially stifled. A huge part of this, is the insistence to forbid newer designs and more modern improvements, and instead force new plants to use old technologies and models, as well as arcane and arbitrary administrative processes . Nuclear power is expensive (in the US), because it was made expensive by refusing it all the factors that typically reduce costs of technologies.
It doesn’t matter though. Nuclear power could’ve help us survive climate change…40 years ago. It’s too late now anyways. Even if we covered the whole planet with solar power and stopped every single combustion engine in existence, we are already on the way to living in a hellscape. We must focus on survival of the species now.

- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 2 months ago:
The discussions here are a bit prosaic, though valid, but on a higher philosophical view you can check Descartes Discourse on the method. It is the basis of all natural sciences and the philosophical foundation of science and rational truth establishment. Maybe grab an explaineer on those ideas.
There are further developments that discuss the sociological proceeds of the scientific community. But the best start point is to always check any statement of truth and fact for four things: controversies, criticisms, corrections and praises. With those four elements you can assert for yourself the credibility of a source’s claims.
- Comment on Anon plays pretend 2 months ago:
OP left no indication of whether they enjoy or not. Just that it is hard. And it is hard. Broadcasters are trained formally to do it. It requires improvisation skills, acting and physical and mental stamina. But, it can also be very rewarding. Like most things in life, there’s some level of initial discomfort and hardship involved in getting to do or experience cool things. You get to choose what you want to face or not.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
The argument I’m replying to is a classic “not perfect, thus not worth it”. Its disingenuous and it calls for disingenuous. We are also pursuing renewables in despite of their political and technical flaws. The point is that all the flaws that OP exposes about nuclear power also applied to renewables (at one point in history solar power was 10x more expinsive than nucluar) and also to oil. They are status quo defending arguments designed to halt thought, paralyze action and scoff change. Just because it isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it isn’t better.
- Comment on Anon plays pretend 2 months ago:
Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That’s how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
Yes, of course. Because oil has never depended on outside countries that are openly hostile. No sire, no war has ever been fought because of gas and oil, ever in history.
