Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.
We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 1 month ago:
I didn’t get a DE razor until I was in my late 30’s. Gutted that it took me so long. I never really liked electric shavers so used your average Gillette razor and suffered from irritation up until I switched. DE razors are cheaper (in the long run) and easily a better shave. Not to mention no irritation.
I’d say DE Razors are one of my life pro tips. It’s a shame the large majority of nations use the traditional safety razor but then marketing and advertising has worked it’s magic.

I really like it, much prefer this layout over the default one.
One question though, how do I respond/reply to the original post? I’ve had to go back to the old UI as I don’t see a Reply button or comment box. I can see a Reply link on other people’s comments, but not on to reply to the main thread.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is out now - player count on Steam explodes 1 month ago:
The dev is legendary. It boggles my mind how someone can be so talented in art, programming, music, story lines etc. Stunning.
Stardew Valley is one of a kind. I doubt we will ever see a game made this well, by a single developer and looked after for this amount of time.

I purchased a new domain just for creating aliases with SimpleLogin. I have over 300 email aliases now. If any start spamming I simply delete the alias. Also if I get unrelated emails I know exactly which website leaked or sold my email address.

I’m sure it will come. The first time I drank from one of these I was confused and thought my cap had a manufacturing defect so pulled it off.
- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 3 months ago:
I got the PS4 Pro having not bothered upgrading from a PS3. At this point there was so many good games to play. I was so impressed I got the PS5 a year after launch. I’m really disappointed as the games have lackluster compared to my time on the PS4.
Honestly the only console that I see is worth having is the Switch. Other than that I play on the PC and now Steam Deck.

We’re in our 40’s, so not old enough for typewriters. I do remember my dad had one at his workplace though!

Indeed. A shirt and trousers is absolutely lovely attire for sitting in a room that’s 30°C. No thanks.
- Comment on This toilet paper at my work 4 months ago:
As a kid, I remember when the schools used to have that paper that literally was paper and on one side being shiny. Shit used to literally smear on the shiny side. I don’t think it actually exists anymore.

For the first time, I am actually dual booting with Mint and using it. Honestly, it wouldn’t be a thing without Proton. Props to Valve! - Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY? 5 months ago:

- Comment on Diablo® IV is coming to Steam 7 months ago:
Doubtful.
I’m a long term Guild Wars 2 player and when they joined Steam the client auto logs you in using your Steam account. However there is a switch you can add so that it logs in using a non-steam account.
