Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.

- Comment on Anon is exploited 1 week ago:
You’re right and I’ve edited that my pov is from tech side after posting but for some reason edit didn’t confirm. Can’t really comment on areas as I work in software but it’s technically illegal everywhere including less developed asian countries but no one is actually enforcing this unfortunately.
- Comment on Anon is exploited 1 week ago:
In Asia it’s even worse. Standard work day in China for example is 9-9-6 which 9am to 9pm six days a week - remember that next time you see China living in 2070 propaganda. Six days a week is still de facto standard in most Asian countries.
The best part is that the actual work output is actually worse than five day 9-5 but I guess you have to keep the masses too busy for self awareness even if it costs economically. I’d remote contract with many teams in Shenzen, Tokyo and Hochiminh city and its incredibly how little actual work they get done with these crazy hours and its not due to lack of employee skill.
- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 1 week ago:
I think you’re missing some cultural context where 80% of twitch streams by women are just softcore porn. It became much more diverse and acceptable now but soft sex workers were huge on Twitch without even doing much of actual sex work.

- Comment on September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations 3 weeks ago:
I’ve started evaluate all free (as in freedom) services to match my entertainment subscriptions (I.e. netflix) and this ended up being avg 5$/mo min wage for all free services that I use which is very reasonable expense. All things don’t even add up to 100$/mo in my case and the value much outweighs that!
Bless be the foss priests 🙏

- Comment on Are you not entertained? 5 weeks ago:
Theres plenty you can care about that isn’t billionaire pop stars or famines. I really despise this argument.
Theres so much optimistic shit these days and education has never been this accessible. Join a book club, environmental club, local community, hobby niche, care about different countries and regions.
There are literally a billion things you should care more about than a billionaires getting engaged. It’s frankly disgusting.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 5 weeks ago:
Nah, why not both?
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t wish all the best to any billionaire.
You’re a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they’re working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.
- Comment on No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships" 5 weeks ago:
My biggest comfort game that just keeps getting more comfy! Been holding out on VR experience for Valve’s VR device but it seems like it’ll be far off - might as well jump back in.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 5 weeks ago:
My recommendations:
- Aurelia is an adventure point and click where you move to a cozy fantasy town. Beautiful art and presentation and just good erotica all around with reasonable puzzle and rpg gameplay.
- Third Crisis is an ultimate gooner game. It really goes out there and if you’re into that sort of thing and it’s really well made.
- Kaiju Princess hang out with a girl who’s secretly a kaiju monster
Most steam erotica games started out as poor quality visual novels or clone games with titties but the scene is really shaping up to something much more interesting!
- Comment on YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE 1 month ago:
the brain fills in the gap
To expand on this, current leading theory (predictive processing) says that brain first generates a visual image than confirms it with inputs and if there’s no input to confirm/deny the halucination it’s just accepted as is. So we can have a whole load of blind spots in all of our sensors and continue functioning rather well with an ocassional artifact.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 month ago:
If anything Steam showed us thay 60$ game is a stupid idea. Free markets pay what they feel like paying and thats when creators and consumers are the happiest not some fixed random price.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 month ago:
Sony and Xbox is not true capitalism because their consoles are not free markets so of course they dont like capitalism when they benefit from absolute control and can fix the prices for everything in their ecosystem.

- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 2 months ago:
Subnautica 2 must be in a pretty dire spot for this to happen. I guess we’ll see as the story unrolls and early access comes eventually but I’ve met many successful people who stopped caring after they made it big so I really wouldn’t be surprised if the publisher is right here.
- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 2 months ago:
Lmao as usual gamers rush in with outrage and turns out the issue is not that simple.
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 2 months ago:
Theres definitely some risk especially in semi-anonymous forums like Lemmy. For example Lemmy.world is blocking VPNs so they know everyone’s IP addresses and given post history etc its very easy to actually identify who’s who. Especially now with AI forensics.
That being said, as a security expert, I think it’s not always productive for casual people to be obsessed with this and you if you can you should use a VPN or a mobile network which due to how cell towers work is much more anonymous than anything else in practice (datacenter IPs work too as well as TOR but those are blocked in practice)
