- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data 5 days ago:
Same here with updates but it might be caused by use case and hardware. E.g. most of users use laptops and a lot of them have vPro functionality. Exact source of the issue is not identified but these two are best candidates in my opinion. If you are using a basic home PC then none of it affects you.

At my workplace 23H2 specifically causes most of unbootable situations where bootloader has to be repaired in some way or another.
- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 1 week ago:
While you are at it, might concentrate on defects of certain fs you don’t like. Personally I hate the NTFS path length limit. XFS handles it much better overall but individual file names are much more limited because nobody thought about Unicode.
Also you could probably fork some fs like XFS.

i, as a user, should be able to switch off javascript
Webdevs don’t care. They were vibe coding even before AI became a thing. It’s my personal opinion that they should not deserve to be called “developers”.

Our community is so delicate. It could die if they see a bot watching a video.

We already have Steam Marketplace. You can buy stuff with your Steam Wallet.
- Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’ 5 weeks ago:
Online function is a very broad definition. User is basically left with a crippled version of what they had. No ability to update anything or download new games. Not much different from a brick.

With “optimized for gaming” premise? That’s obviously nothing more than “hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play”.

Still, most of bad stuff happening to people are not because something was hacked, but because someone leaked something. One person in a group chat would be enough.

Yeah.

Nah, the ability works during the broadcast, without such delays.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 2 months ago:
Ability to teleport any words I want into the mind of someone who is broadcasting or streaming anything over internet or radio or tv, that I currently watch or listen, as long as the broadcast is going on. For them it would be like hearing me as if I was in the same room. They won’t know anything about me other than realize I’m one of their listeners or viewers. It works only for one person at a time - the streamer/broadcaster or one of them. They can choose to tell other listeners what they heard, or not.

Actually, 8.
No. Actually, you don’t even control which fingers you lose. You lose one big finger once and you can’t snap with that hand anymore.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
another player to try an compete with Steam
Here is the mistake. It does not trying to compete. It only tries to catch as many fish in its bucket as possible, while leveraging (burning) Fortnite money.
It’s a wasted effort, and it will never come close to Steam like this. It may even die along with Fortnite, or degrade further.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 months ago:
They didn’t start the fight. They were sued. If you think “picking a fight with Nintendo” is something you can do any time, and on your own volition, you must be missing something.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 months ago:
Getting popular to that point was not in their plans. You can’t judge their success.
And yes it can legally exist. See other creature collector games (that are just not that popular yet).
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 months ago:
That sounds like a “look someone managed to pull that off so it’s definitely possible” argument. In other words “you can enter the collectable creatures scene by spending that amount of effort”. And it shouldn’t be that way. The price in effort shouldn’t be that high.
Actually, it should be the customers who decide if your product is worth the effort of playing it. There are a lot of rehashed games in various genres (e.g. horrors, walking simulators) and wee see no issue with them even though they are using exactly same mechanics, or sometimes even assets. What matters is users’ reception. If users think your product is worth it - it means you spent enough effort already. If your product would be a low effort creation users wouldn’t spend money on it in the first place.
I’m sure if Cassette Beasts could accumulate that kind of playerbase and profits, Nintendo would’ve sue them too.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 months ago:
I just assume that as long as everyone is fine with derivations produced by AI (text, pics, music), all derivations that don’t look exactly like original Pokemon are fine (also real people put some effort into those). Palworld compared to Pokemon is a much better product than, say, Fifa XX compared to Fifa XX-1. Also Pokemon series is notorious for useless editions of the same games masked as separate products - that level of rehashing feels much more illegal to me.
