Wow, didn’t recognize him. Shows how many videos of his I’ve seen.

Gross, was he actually involved?
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 5 days ago:
Of course it is. That’s not my point. My point was Microsoft is tasteless to include it in the app name.
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 5 days ago:
People mock App as a Mac thing, iOS thing. But it was never part of the actual app name. Just a file extension.
- Comment on Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US 1 week ago:
Do you think a court could force Apple to allow any and all software in the App Store? In other words, it’s not Apple’s decision who they do business with?
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 1 week ago:
Bungie had similar problems with Destiny 2, if I remember correctly.
- Comment on Stability AI and Arm Collaborate to Release Stable Audio Open Small, Enabling Real-World Deployment for On-Device Audio Generation — Stability AI 2 weeks ago:
I wonder what this is good for, on a practical level. Not a fucking around level.
- Comment on Max Is Changing Its Name to (Get This!) HBO Max 2 weeks ago:
Can they partner with Apple TV Channels again, now? It was nice back then.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 weeks ago:
Well, this sounds like poor/broken communication to me. Why didn’t they cite another app that’s doing the same as them that has access to the app they want?
The idea that Android use to just let any app access any file on the system sounds like a nightmare. But I live in the modern security reality that is our world. And that reality is just going to continue to get worse and require more care. Not less.

We have had typing indicators for 25 years now.

Good news for those who are into the current generation of GB.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
That’s how projects go. But I bet it happens faster when enthusiasm for a game has the curve this title did.

Totino’s Pizza Rolls remind you AI makes mistakes, always double check important information. [AD]
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
The line? Usually you need to be doing something conceptually different. This knockoff electrabuzz wouldn’t have raised as many eyebrows if it was in a farming simulator, or a card game.
It’s like if you had a chainsaw gun in your game, and your game was set in a dark gritty sci-fi world where you are fighting subterranean monsters called the Focus Board.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Bingo. In many ways, but not all, palworld was lazy, and unoriginal.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, they finally added one of the common anti-cheat tools to it. No anti-cheat is perfect, but it has made a huge difference.
- Comment on Lethal Weapon | 4K Ultra HD Trailer | Warner Bros. Entertainment 3 weeks ago:
Cool. But I find the modern trailer lame.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely the most photorealistic game of this scale. IMO. It’s looking to be quite the feat, and worth the development time/wait.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 weeks ago:
It took them until this year to finally start addressing rampant cheating in GTAO PC.
The most profitable game in history, and they couldn’t muster a solution to the hacking/bullshit.

Truly the darkest timeline
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 1 month ago:
I feel like I’ve been slowly building a free collection of Metro games on all platforms for a decade now.
Someday I’ll play one.
- Comment on A Minecraft Movie sequel discussions are already happening 1 month ago:
As a film, it’s bad. As a big budget YouTube Minecraft movie, it’s good.
It’s the same sort of nonsense kids love to watch on YouTube.
That’s my theory/framing.

What do the gambling markets say?
- Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight 1 month ago:
Oh, interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of that sort of thing happening YouTube. I know other platforms have different stuff in different regions. Netflix, etc. But I didn’t consider that a show would post full stuff for just non-US regions.
Thanks for the details.
