- Comment on I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed 2 days ago:
I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner’s name. It’s my phone, but now I’m getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it’s coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.

I was wrong.

- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
That isn’t how anything works. This is like those people on Facebook posting their voodoo chainmail posts about their comments and profiles. You don’t own your comments to transfer a license in the first place.

Same thing I thought, unless there isn’t a place for a lock.

I’ll never forgive them buying Rocket League and cutting Linux support. It used to have a native Linux version.
- Comment on What's up with all this data breaches and leaks? 5 months ago:
Still a very small subset of the data breaches out there.
Think about it.
Start with the total amount of data breaches. Narrow that further to the data beaches that someone noticed. Narrow that further to the data breaches they reported. Narrow further to the ones that you have heard about.
What you know about it is a trailing indicator of the total incidences.
- Comment on Plummeting interest rate 5 months ago:
Literally why is that a weird thing? People over 35 grew up with gaming, it’s pretty normal.
- Comment on Denuvo by Irdeto now registered as authorized Nintendo Switch™ middleware 10 months ago:
I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.
