- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 week ago:
lmao, kids have little interest in Bob’s Burgers. It’s too slow paced and the content goes over kids heads.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 week ago:
Owl House was a good watch, and I only watched it as an adult. Gravity Falls is great as well, and stars Alex Hirsch as well.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 week ago:
don’t watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid
I think the best shows are the ones that are just as good as an adult. Avatar the Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, Spongebob before the first movie, Owl House, Phineas and Ferb, and plenty others. If anything, rewatching them as an adult helps you get jokes that went over your head as a kid. Some of those I only watched as an adult, and they were still good.
- Comment on GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it? 1 week ago:
This would be used on your phone, for all of the advantages that may come with. From customization, battery life, portability, bigger screen, screen quality, or whatever else. It’s a device you are going to have with you anyway

They mentioned in the video more cops came because they wanted to meet the gaming grandma, and they cleared the scene pretty quick.

I don’t think the goal is to get them killed most of the time. It’s mostly kids thinking they’re “pranking” them, and just want to scare them.

That’s if you play one of those. Seems like she was in a single player world. I wouldn’t consider Minecraft an MMO in the typical sense.

Assuming this was in the US, most 911 dispatchers are E911, so the approximate location is automatically included with the call. Smart phones are able to provide a more accurate location, and dispatchers still ask location because they don’t know what floor you’re on if it’s a multi story building.

This is the way. Little to no splashing, very effective

Rather, move on because Nintendo is scummy and doesn’t deserve your money
So you’re saying move on to the high seas? Yarr

As someone that didn’t play sunshine as a kid but did recently, sunshine is my least favorite. The controls are clunkier than the other mario games because of the water , there was way more repetition with the bosses (the stupid goo piranha plants). Super Mario 64 was great and I feel like Super Mario Galaxy was an insane leap from Sunshine
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 2 weeks ago:
The Wii. Too much gimmick stuff distracting from the experience (eg metroid wiimote shooting and wiimote sideways). So much shovelware!. It’s still a nice system (especially considering backwards compatibility too) but still.
It’s funny you say the controls distract from the experience, when I’d argue they add to the experience.
You ask me, the Wii is great and just keeps getting better, even now, with active homebrew communities. Many games allow you to choose what controller type you want, and there is a lot of creativity in the different games for using the Wiimote (though you may find those gimmicky). The biggest downside is trying to play if your TV is near a window and the sun is out. You have to close the blinds or it messes with the IR sensor.
- Comment on What's the deal with AI datacenters using water for cooling? 2 weeks ago:
It is useful if you’re trying to figure out what to focus on. In this case, the concern is wasteful water usage. If you point to a larger area of wasteful water consumption, it would make more sense to target that first.
- Comment on What's the deal with AI datacenters using water for cooling? 2 weeks ago:
That link shows Altman saying current datacenters use closed loop systems and make vague rhetorical questions. That’s not a source
- Comment on What's the deal with AI datacenters using water for cooling? 2 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t solve the evaporation problem, but you could get some extra electricity from the steam. Makes the creation of said steam slightly less wasteful

The catch is “in sunlight” that was omitted from the tweet:
Depending on their launch date, the crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission may become the first humans to see regions of the lunar far side, like Mare Orientale, in sunlight.
I guess their logic for the tweet is they technically couldn’t see it since it wasn’t lit? I do know they are capturing information in new details they didn’t have before because of the lighting. And I also imagine the dark side of the mook was essentially completely dark
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 1 month ago:
I always boil the water first, so i can’t speak to that portion. But what I do is add the boils to a sealed container with cold water. Then give it a good shake so that shells crack, but not so hard the eggs themselves are damaged. But after that the shells slide right off

- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 2 months ago:
In some games they so provide an extra challenge that can be fun to go for. It of course depends on the game and the achievement. I’ve had games where I enjoyed going for achievements and some where I never even looked at them
- Comment on Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory? 2 months ago:
I assume they mean immediately after, like if someone was standing nearby already. Its a little different if you drive past them, stop the car, get out, go back ti them, and then discipline
- Comment on Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory? 2 months ago:
It used to be more common for people to discipline kids that aren’t theirs for something obviously wrong. It wouldn’t usually involve grabbing, unless it was to move them out of the way of a moving car like in the story. Now there is a lot more pressure on just the parents since it’s frowned upon to discipline others children. Whether or not this is better, idk

From a quick google search, seems like you can disable hardware acceleration to record with OBS. Or you can use other dedicated software. And thats not even covering the bypasses that can likely be done on Linux

This is different, and doesn’t address screen recording.
HDCP uses three systems:[5]
- Authentication prevents non-licensed devices from receiving content.
- Encryption of the data sent over DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, GVIF, or UDI interfaces prevents eavesdropping of information and man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Key revocation prevents devices that have been compromised and cloned from receiving data.
It would stop someone from playing DRM content to an unauthorized TV, but does not mention anything about screen recording your own device. There are some built in protections for preventing an application from being recorded but I have no doubt there are bypasses

- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 3 months ago:
the very fucking obvious answer that satisfies both questions is, “they don’t have a fucking choice”
You are comparing two things that are categorically different. Horses are not moral agents like people are, so slavery literally cannot apply. No animal has moral choices. We do not arrest an animal for breaking laws, because laws cannot apply to an animal. The issue with riding horses is one of welfare, not consent or freedom.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 3 months ago:
Are you saying those slaves are basically animals? Or that horses are basically people? I’m assuming you’re more so going for the latter, which is still a wild idea. They are domesticated animals, not people.
With your logic, just think of all the enslaved cats and dogs being forced to live in homes with lots of pets and constantly be fed and loved. Does animal cruelty happen? Of course. But to suggest domesticated horses are being enslaved because people have ridden horses for 5,000 years is truly a wild take.
