Ah, you’re right! I failed to grab that context.
- Comment on Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset 6 days ago:
Only for a single game? That shit is in almost every multiplayer game I play nowadays. Valorant, Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight…
- Comment on Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser 1 week ago:
Perhaps “you’re right”, “you’re wrong and also short, here’s why”, or even “I don’t know”. These would all be things you could tell them and a better response.
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, they did. The Canadian flag represents all Canadians. The BC province flag may represent me more closely, but it doesn’t stop the Canada flag from doing the same. While some people will be happy they can represent themselves more accurately to real life, it also makes for more exclusive use cases. I think there’s an argument to be made for keeping things simple and broadly usable.

Mine does this but sometimes hangs until I close it myself lol

- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 5 weeks ago:
Kick the streaming platform? All I know about Kick is the gambling, banned Twitch streamers, and the homophobic whackos like Adin Ross that seem to be supported by the platform. I am steering clear until they fix their reputation. If they fix it.
- Comment on Humanity and AI, a match made in the 9th circle of hell 5 weeks ago:
Especially when people decide to tag NSFW based on swearing… seriously? Thankfully I have not seen it much on Lemmy, but this is a common occurence on Reddit dashcam subs.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 5 weeks ago:
I feel like there is some survivorship bias going on here. I’ve seen plenty of complaints about Bethesda bugs over the years, but people that are truly bothered by it (me!) have sworn off all their games and thus have no reason to talk about them anymore. The only ones left playing are those that still have some enjoyment/respect for Bethesda games. Cyberpunk felt like more of a “mainstream” hit so it makes sense there was more backlash.
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
I read a bunch of threads on this and there were a lot of questions about this… so yes, it was a question to many people.

That ain’t no scorpion, that’s a spider on steroids.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
Saying PETA is representative of vegans is rather like using Antifa as an example of liberals, or Info Wars for conservatives.
- Comment on Not happening, dude 1 month ago:
Is it just me or this statistic kind of… useless? It’s the same as saying “people who own a car are eight times more likely to die while driving a motor vehicle”. No shit. Surely we should be comparing the raw (successful) suicide rate of gun owners versus not. Later in the article they do cover this to a point, stating that it is still a 4x increase.
The researchers found that people who owned handguns had rates of suicide that were nearly four times higher than people living in the same neighborhood who did not own handguns. The elevated risk was driven by higher rates of suicide by firearm. Handgun owners did not have higher rates of suicide by other methods or higher rates of death generally.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 1 month ago:
I rode a prepaid plan like that for about 5 years, it’s honestly great. Everyone thought I was crazy when I said it cost me to text them lol but my cost was maybe ~$1/month. Now I’m on 50GB of data, but I travel almost constantly so it was finally worth it.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 1 month ago:
Depends what you mean by free, but in BC any of the lowest cost plans ($15/month) have unlimited SMS included with the plan. The only time I paid for SMS was on a pre-paid SIM.
- Comment on Is there a Google Timeline alternative with feature parity? 2 months ago:
I see your point lol. Although I don’t get why there aren’t more offline/local alternatives. They would have no data to speak of.

Technically, since she’s Ms and not Mrs Paint, you’re asking if her dad is alive.

You’re not alone, bud. You see what you want to see, I suppose. /j
- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 2 months ago:
Technically Discord is trying to solve this with rheir threads feature, but I’ve found either the server owners don’t force it or the users don’t use it. Either way, it sucks.
- Comment on I just want to view the recipe 2 months ago:
I loaded up a download page on a work computer recently, forgetting it didn’t have adblock. My god the amount of ads was insane. There were literally about 20 ads surrounding the content with varying styles and I could actually not figure out at a glance what was the main content. I don’t understand how anyone uses the internet raw anymore.
- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 3 months ago:
Stick it back in, put it in a clamp, and drill a screw straight into the end of that rod. Ain’t going nowhere unless you break it in the process, but at least you’ll have had some fun. No, I’m not being serious.
- Comment on Do you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy? 3 months ago:
All? No. But some? I’d be more surprised if I found out none were.
- Comment on Has Google’s search results drastically declined for anyone else? 3 months ago:
It was bad before LLM spam became widespread, it’s just even worse now.
- Comment on Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX 4 months ago:
TL;DR company shady
The main 3 points seem to be: China-owned, predatory loan applications, and spreading themselves across too many concept/trend browser spinoffs. Honestly this is kinda old news and won’t stop anyone I know from using the thing. You can’t just say they’re “probably” harvesting your data for “nefarious” reasons and expect people to all jump to Firefox (as nice as that may be).
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 5 months ago:
You should actually be using de-googled Libre Wolf with uBlock Origin and your own DNS server. You’ve let me down. /s

You can be reasonably sure your SO has not drunk out of the toilet today. Your dog, less so.
- Comment on Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that? 7 months ago:
… which are not breaking any new technical ground, as saud above.

Not related to the video, sorry, but when sharing links in the future you should strip out unnecessary bits from the URL. This link includes
&list=WL&index=1
which means when I open it my Watch Later list is opened alongside it, which is undesired. If you can’t identify what parts to cut out, the easiest way is to use the Share button on the website itself, although this unfortunately can include trackers in the URL. A clean YouTube URL would be a simple watch link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap1JDDnQIA8
