Saluton Sro. Zamenhof!
- Comment on Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs 1 week ago:
Huh. Thief 1&2, System Shock 1&2 and Deus Ex make up half of my top 10 games list. But multiplayer? I donno, maybe if there is also a good single player campaign I’ll be interested. I’d be happy with a modern Thief 1&2 remaster. NewDark and TheDarkMod are great, but I’d love to have full raytracing in Thief.
- Comment on What happens when a prominent person is assassinated and the perpetrator cannot be identified? 2 weeks ago:
The first one that comes to mind is Jimmy Hoffa, but they never found the body. He was almost certainly killed by the Mafia, but no specific person was ever prosecuted for it.
- Comment on What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com" 4 weeks ago:
To claim a subdomain in the DNS system you have to have the domain first.
- Comment on Not the worst sales technique. 5 weeks ago:
My motorcycle dealer has a similar sign about being sad and ugly.
- Comment on I hate that that happens 1 month ago:
“That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 1 month ago:
I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 2 months ago:
I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’ve set several things from GoG up using Lutris. But in Steam it’s a two step process:
- Click Install
- Click Play
I want that level of ease from GoG.

Now can we get proton support for GoG that is as convient and reliable as it is in Steam?

… the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is, of course, what this is all about.
- Comment on I've bean missing these memes 3 months ago:
Have you ever actually tried doing it? Yes it works and works well. But damn is it a lot of labor to keep everything growing correctly and to harvest it all.

Much like all of life. Expectations cause suffering.
- Comment on What is a "tax write off"? 10 months ago:
A write off is a colloquialism that refers to reducing your effective taxed income. A more realistic example would be, let’s say you make $250k, but you’re self employed and spent $50k on business expenses like a car and office space. Then you can write off that $50k and only pay taxes like you made $200k.
- Comment on What’s a “sovereign citizen “? 10 months ago:
They are people who have fallen for and/or are grifting for a deeply unhinged conspiracy theory that national laws don’t apply to them if they do some certain set of pseudo legal things. What exactly those things are, as well as what laws don’t apply to them,vary widely, but are usually centered around driver’s licenses and car registration, tax evasion and not paying child support.
Past that it’s hard to explain what their beliefs are because it is so vague and ever changing.
