- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 12 hours ago:
I will not pay $1000 for a console alone. I would buy a gaming PC for 4x that first. And I’m exactly their target market.
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 day ago:
It’s been a long time ago….
For a console: probably en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaboom!_(video_game)
For a computer: for my C64 en.wikipedia.org/…/Ultima_IV%3A_Quest_of_the_Avat…
- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 3 days ago:
But do they? It seems like most are very short sighted and opt for immediate gains as opposed to any long term growth.
- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 3 days ago:
I like it it’s just too damned expensive for what seems to be a minor upgrade from the switch. I mean the main differences are power, storage, display, and controller design and since my switch sits in the docking station and we use external controllers most of those are negated.
I haven’t seen a game that would justify it at this point.

- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 2 weeks ago:
Achievements basically boil down to “does it matter to me that other people see that I’ve accomplished something” and that only matters “if it matters to other people that my achievements are worth knowing”. It’s essentially trying to generate interest in a game by creating this social competition and of course FOMO. So I guess it’s just social media advertising.
In my case none of this matters. I play mostly single player games because I enjoy them, not because I care what other people think. Having that info in game is sometimes cool if I want to know I’ve finished everything there is to finish.
From a game developers standpoint this data could be useful. Is this part being used? How long does it take? At what part in the game did they accomplish it? That sorta thing. The publishing of that data in a public space is different beast.

- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 3 weeks ago:
Well not sure about the other poster but the BBSes I used were ones you had to dial into and you were the only one there. Well unless it was a fancy one that had multiple phone lines. I even ran one for a short bit my junior year of high school on my commodore 128 and a 1200 baud modem. Good times. Then I got to college and learned about usenet and IRC. This was like ‘89.
- Comment on Plastic hinges on modern headphones 3 weeks ago:
Similar vibe… whatever that shitty material that they put on the top padded band and foam ear coverings that starts to crack and flake off on my bald head making me look like I have a skin disorder. I’ve had headphones ranging in price from $30 to $300 and they all do it.

The Predator was after a worthy opponent. Something to give a challenge. The IDF are just bullies with guns. Think ICE but with different brown people.

It doesn’t feel like it to me. I want a layer of clothing between my ass funk and the sheets. Unless I’m changing the sheets the next day then I’m ok with it.
