- Comment on Technology Connections: MP3 CDs 5 weeks ago:
I found that the most impractical thing with these was that the user interface for selecting songs was typically “you have 200 songs and I’m gonna play them in sequence, if you want a particular song you must skip ahead until you hear it”. It worked for a 12-track audio CD, but felt like an underdeveloped toy feature when used with MP3:s.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It’s increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside.
Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.
Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
You know what? I don’t care and I stopped reading this article after one paragraph because I found that I couldn’t be bothered to go on. During the reddit exodus I was pissed off about how they would ruin something good, but I’ve long since lost interest in what happens on that site. Honestly I was a tiny bit surprised that it still exists.

I think of it more as a budding fascist dictator vs a senile moron. Which is why I’m extremely worried that the former wins. At least with the senile moron, the rest of the senate and staff can sort of hamper on reasonably without irrepairably dismantling democracy.
- Comment on Riven (2024) Review Thread 4 months ago:
I don’t think it’s a big deal where you start. The latest iteration of Riven will likely be the most accessible and that’s probably what matters most if you’re just starting out.
Much of the appeal (for me at least) is that the storyline is a Tolkien-like epic story spanning thousands of years. Myst takes place before Riven, and if you wanted to consume it in chronological order you would start by reading the books (which are surprisingly good). But it’s fine to go back and “fill in the blanks” if you play in a different order.

- Comment on Ryan Gosling explains how to turn debt into money | The Big Short 5 months ago:
I’m tired of the trend of saying things are underrated, when they’re really not. The Big Short is a great movie and it is rated as a great movie. So it’s not underrated or overrated; it has a great rating and deservedly so.

It’s such a rated movie.

Also it’s only a conspiracy if there’s intentional disregard for the best interests of people who you are intentionally hiding information from. Where I live they were pumping out hormones into the river all the way back into the 60s, screwing up fish life. But it’s because they were ignorant and dumb. This is from the same time when the government had a campaign for people to weigh down garbage with rocks before throwing it in the sea, because it’s unsightly when it floats.

And I don’t see why Arch is relevant to the discussion. My point is that software being non-proprietary is not a guarantee for preventing fuckery like Microsoft’s. Profit-maximizing companies will maximize their profits, proprietary software or not.
