I’ve actually done that
- Comment on Oh sweet, my old Empire Earth box! 1 day ago:
Securom has been cracked long ago yeah. I believe it was SafeDisc or StarForce that made things hella weird in a cracked game, but that was bypassed by mounting the CD back then and now I think the cracks work too

They are, but now some modern cases don’t have bays so personally I’m still restricted to external if I want one.

I hope you get better soon. Is there any sort of cheap yet good insurance you would qualify for, based on e.g your location, disabilities, income, or anything?
I must admit I don’t know a whole lot about the whole system (though a fair bit more than your average European), but I do know there are cases where you can get good health insurance for cheap. Though I’m sure you’ve already looked into what your options are.

Turns as in intersections where you need to turn I guess.

Just across (south) of the bay from you judging by your name: I was at a funeral recently, not many people wore suits. Of course, nobody wore shorts or anything, but not too many formal suits.

Not to mention many of them probably have been you; out of shape, showing up to the gym for the first time.
- Comment on Julia Louis-Dreyfus Calls ‘Bulls—‘ Over Complaints That ‘Comics Can’t Be Funny Now’ Due to P.C. Culture: It’s Not an ‘Impossible Time to Be Funny’ 1 week ago:
You also don’t have to be completely PC if you’re funny.
If you’re making fun of marginalized groups and it’s not even funny, that’s when people start complaining imo
- Comment on Mod support in Baldur's Gate 3 will be final handover moment to players, says Larian CEO 1 week ago:
I’m hoping entire custom campaigns.
Back in the day, Operation Flashpoint, the predecessor of ArmA, had a mod community that built mods that came with huge new maps, new equipment and actually decently written campaigns. All because of the official mod tooling, which even came with tutorials.

Probably going to ask Uma Thurman to start a Feetfinder account
- Comment on Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset 1 week ago:
Used to be that they’d sell you both worthless DLC and actually good DLC.
Knights of the Nine? Awesome. Horse Armor? Worthless.
Similarly, Skyrim had Dawnguard and Dragonborn which were great. It also had Hearthfire which was kinda meh, but at least it had stuff to do and was cheap, so I’m not too mad about it.

Definitely done 120 kg and beyond on pull downs. If you’re a heavier dude, that’s still easier than chin ups.
- Comment on Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser 2 weeks ago:
Wonder if it’ll be ready for the 30th anniversary of Skyrim
Anyway
Chances of it running on the same exact engine as Starfield are practically 100%
You can still make improvements in pre-alpha for sure. Not massive overhauls of existing systems, but there’s no reason you couldn’t fix bugs, incrementally improve existing features and add new ones.
- Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you? 2 weeks ago:
It’s powered by there being enough of us wage slaves, which requires us to procreate, which is why red states in the US ban sex education, abortion, etc.
Of course, other capitalists have realized they can show ads on porn
- Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you? 2 weeks ago:
Religion, capitalism. Powerful groups want more people to have more children.
Luckily I’m in a progressive enough country that even in school we were taught that masturbation is a thing and not necessarily bad.
As for negative effects - if you do it TOO much, particularly with a very strong grip, then don’t be surprised if, when having actual intercourse, you’re just not feeling much and might be unable to reach orgasm. You might even be uninterested in your partner sexually. A few days without masturbation will fix it though, doesn’t seem to be permanent. Day 2 without doing it and I couldn’t keep my eyes (or hands) off my wife’s body.
Sex was very infrequent for me and my wife in the last few months of her pregnancy, so that’s how I know. Soon as we started doing it on a somewhat regular basis again, I opted to quit jerking it because I wanted to enjoy the real thing more, even if it’s not every single day. No long-term negative effects that I’ve noticed.

- Comment on New breakthrough may let us charge smartphones in 60 seconds 3 weeks ago:
Battery degradation is ridiculously unpredictable. I’ve seen 100 cycle batteries at 75% and 2500 cycle batteries over 90%. I only dealt with like 5 MacBook models

I think they specifically meant that there are 3 letters in the name, not 3 agencies. That’s how it’s usually used.

simple, clever sensor
Somehow the part code was superceded like 10 times on the W211 Benz. Looks like they still took a lot of fine-tuning to get right
- Comment on The world has become Applefied. 2 months ago:
Fuck it, I love playing devil’s advocate.
-
Seamless integration between their products (at the cost of having to be in their walled garden)
-
Best, smoothest mobile UX out there (and I’ve used many Androids, including custom ROMs)
-
Moving their computers from from x86 to ARM (much better power consumption to performance ratio). This will likely improve Linux ARM support too, as people use Asahi on Apple Silicon Macs and more packages are then created for ARM.
-
Taking active part in creating industry standards (such as USB-C, which they admittedly should’ve adopted on their phones long ago, but they DID promise not to change plugs for 10 years when moving to Lightning).
-
Macbooks don’t bend like a lot of plastic non-Apple laptops do. Their batteries also seem to last longer - might be anecdotal, but I’ve fixed thousands of laptops, easily over a thousand Macbooks produced in the 2010-2017 era (I quit that job in 2019).

It’s been in style for a while
Saddest part is, I also default to this sort of appearance. Though if I do see a cozy place, I like it - but if you asked me to design something, it would be millennial gray. I have no imagination.
- Comment on I feel old 2 months ago:
I’m a very late millennial, borderline Gen Z, and even I feel like all my slang knowledge is outdated.

CamelCase
Technically you mean PascalCase - camelCase starts with an uncapitalized letter :)
- Comment on We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general 10 months ago:
Why don’t you just start your own? You can defederate any instance you want.
I’m on lemm.ee but I’ve personally blocked communities I’ve found to be toxic, some of them were on lemmygrad. I see very little tankie shit. Took me like 5 minutes.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K 10 months ago:
Nobody makes singleplayer games anymore because you only buy them once instead of spending hundreds/thousands over the lifecycle of the game. You’re supposed to bend over and take it like a man. For capitalism!
That’s why a game like this is so refreshing. A good singleplayer experience that you can also OPTIONALLY share with your friends, and I also intend to do that. I’m literally going to go on Steam and buy two copies now.
