- Comment on When will all the folks complaining about loss of Snap and health insurance realize the GOP wants us to die and has ZERO empathy for fellow Americans? 1 week ago:
It was surprisingly good. Not life changing but they had some messages and themes that they wanted to convey and did so pretty damn well.
Gets a little ahead of itself in moments but honestly, there are tons of far worse films released every year.
- Comment on In 2005, OLPC’s $100 laptop was going to change the world — then it all went wrong 1 week ago:
Wrote a paper for one of my finals in college on the efficacy of these. Havent thought of the project for probably 15+ years.
It really was a fantastic idea, always hoped it would catch on but alas, the Chromebook took over in education spaces thanks to subsidies from Google for the data collection.

Aww geez. Thanks for the summary duder. Been at a conference in the bay so kinda detached from it all. Gonna be wild if Fandom is the shitdicks that kill GB.

- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 month ago:
There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).
I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.

I’ll have to dig in to that Gattaca soundtrack. Sounds right in my wheelhouse.
- Comment on What is your single favourite movie soundtrack? 2 months ago:
Moon by Clint Mansell this soundtrack guided me through hundreds of hours of log reading from support tech days through sysadmin days.
It just falls to the background after a few minutes and becomes trance like.
- Comment on What is your single favourite movie soundtrack? 2 months ago:
I’ll throw another vote for Ravenous. That movie has been a huge part of my life and in no small part thanks to the soundtrack.
It was the last movie I saw with my dad before he passed and it was a great one to discuss over a cup of coffee after.
The recently highdef releases we’re great.

Heck yeah! Stoked to see Josh’s standup getting posted here. He’s easily my favorite comedian right now and relentlessly release’s material every week that is fantastic.
Highly recommend folks check his channel out.

Rules 34 is “if it exists, there’s porn of it”.
Rule 35 is the truly interesting one here though “if the porn doesn’t exist, you are responsible for creating it”
Don’t quite me exactly on those, I’m about 20 years out from my /b/ days.
- Comment on I'll take two Pedros with a side of Henry 6 months ago:
Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20’s and now mid 40’s on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.
Cheers man. May the well never run dry.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 6 months ago:
There is also The Crew, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon as well as Gran Turismo to mention a few more that I have played. Plus a whole slew of hardcore F1 titles, Nascar titles and the Trackmania series.
There might be something in there that catches your attention. Could just be a case of these not surfacing in your algorithm to get noticed.
- Comment on Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher 7 months ago:
Interesting that when asked to bring a self founded viewpoint you return to the core conceit despite presenting counter arguments to the contrary in all prior responses.
Once again, what would prove to YOU that someone had a history or resume to be valid in a statement about prior experience in regards to new ventures?
- Comment on Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher 7 months ago:
Take the focus off this exact scenario and Bethesda Dev. Throughout the thread, there has been several other scenarios presented but none have hit home with you. What I’m asking is, what previous qualifications for a new role in an exact industry would be something you’d accept as proof of validity?
This isn’t meant to be confrontational, I’m legitimately curious. I see these sentiments a lot on the Internet and it leads to a flurry of downvotes without anyone asking the person receiving them what would be their desired outcome / goal.
So to frame it in that regards, would someone being a lead engine developer give more credence to a solo project? Being a project manager? Having a varied CV that showed growth across a company providing a base understanding of several different disciplines without a targeted focus on one? Or something as simple as “they worked on the questlines that I personal liked”?
Genuinely interested in what would make YOU happy or impressed by an announcement like this.

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal.

- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 8 months ago:
Absolutely agree with this statement. They seem to have no pipeline for keeping up with this console lifecycle.
As the owner of a Series X and PS5, they’re just streaming boxes that I occasionally use to play stuff that won’t run under Proton.
