Is this office work? Please adopt me
- Comment on Google’s Sergey Brin urges workers to the office ‘at least’ every weekday 1 day ago:
You would have to be super human to work 60 hours a week and actually be productive.
Like maybe if your work was actually legitimately your hobby. Something that you absolutely loved and were addicted to doing. But even then, I can’t even do my hobbies 60 hours a week. That’s legitimately insane.
The only thing I can think of that I could do for 60 hours a week is sleep. But I haven’t been able to do that for years now because of work-life imbalance

I tried no man’s sky again. I think I’m just past the intro as I got to the space station trading place. It’s interesting.
I have also been trying the new fortnite update and dirt rally 2
I’m thinking I’ll probably get the new monster hunter this week? I’ve been saving a gift card for a while, so that seems like it would be a fun pick. I feel like I have so many games I wana play, but not nearly enough time in my day lol
- Comment on Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars 1 week ago:
This kinda sucks to see. Less competition is a bad thing for everyone. Maybe it’s just me hanging onto every bit of nostalgia I have, but the Xbox generations were special.
I know that it can’t like…physically remove any of the good times I had with the systems over the years. But these consoles have been part of my life since 2001. So many friends and memories were created with these systems. In a way, it feels like your friend is dying, LOL. I know that’s extremely over dramatic, but like damn.
On a more serious note, I am extremely curious what this means going forward and how they will handle digital purchases a decade from now.

Dang it. Why can’t more wealthy people just be chill and not psychopaths. I get that statistically, they are more likely to succeed due to lack of morality. But damn.
It would be cool if somebody nice acquired the businesses.
- Comment on Rockstar has some of the most restrictive mission design I've ever experienced 1 week ago:
I think a lot of my creativity is stunted because I don’t generally notice these issues in rockstars games until someone points them out lol. I think it would be pretty cool if they gave people more choice and options
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 2 weeks ago:
I only recently experienced the luxury of higher frame rates.
I’ll put up with 30. I usually don’t notice it after a while, especially if it’s steady.
60 is preferred, and I always aim for performance if I can.

- Comment on Avowed Review Thread 2 weeks ago:
I’m very curious how this one will pan out. I tried Outer Worlds, and I dropped it after about 10 hours or so. It felt oddly empty to me. I figure I should give it another shot at some point.
I hope this game is good!
- Comment on The Sims re-release shows what’s wrong with big publishers and single-player games 2 weeks ago:
Looks like EA found it already. Damn.
I hate when companies rerelease games in a worse state than the originals.
I was just thinking about going and finding the originals, but of course, the new rerelease is the only thing available to purchase. Is the “athletic lady” site the still the go to place? I have not gone sailing in quite some time

- Comment on OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us [404 Media] 4 weeks ago:
The only thing I don’t like it stolen artwork/voices/identities being used.
I also don’t like how I have to now hyper analyze everything I see and hear as an additional step to confirm if I’m seeing something legitimate or if it’s someone trying to mislead people.
I think my favorite parts of these tools are translation and simple word editing. Being able to prompt it to assist with various logic problems can also be nice.
So I feel conflicted. I guess like with any tool, it can be used properly or improperly
- Comment on Let's discuss: Like a Dragon / Yakuza 4 weeks ago:
Yea totally! I actually really like when developers can do that. I think when artificial (or genuine) limitations are placed on art, projects or whatever, it can make them turn out to be better than if you had full freedom.
There’s a fine line between creativity and laziness that shouldn’t be crossed. But when it’s done really well I think it’s super cool
- Comment on Let's discuss: Like a Dragon / Yakuza 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been trying to work my way through them. I’ve currently finished 0, 1, and 2. I played 0 twice, though, and will likely end up playing it again, lol.
I’ve been finding it difficult to get through longer games recently. Mainly because I only play them on the weekends. They keep releasing one every year or so which is also crazy. It feels like they are just pumping them out now, so I’ll likely take another 3-5 years before I get through them all.
I really enjoyed how zero let’s you explore. It feels like they took their time to model each area as close to real life as possible. I don’t know how true that is, but from the photos I’ve seen, it seems that way. I really liked shenmue 1 and 2, and these games feel like the closest thing I’ll ever get to that experience again.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th 1 month ago:
I have been playing fortnite. And I’m kinda digging it. I completely despise their monetization, but I’ve been enjoying the gameplay loop. It’s a solid Battle Royale game. I find the pacing is pretty good in terms of how long you wait to engage other players.
I also like that they update it semi frequently. Usually, I don’t* like when games do that. But the core fundamentals stay the same while the extras (like the map and weapon/tools) change.
I didn’t think I would ever enjoy it.
I’ve also been playing Persona 3 Reload, and sniper elite 5. Both of those are pretty solid too. Sniper elite 5 felt weird at first because the game felt extra punishing until you unlock more options for stealth. I might have been playing it wrong.
Persona 3 reload is fun, but I feel like the two styles of gameplay don’t exactly mesh perfectly? They just don’t feel like they’re as robust as I want them to be (but the game has a decent amount of depth so idk how they would do that without overwhelming the player). I realize the game is a remake of an older title, though, so I’m assuming it’ll just get better as the series progressed.
- Comment on TikTok users particularly susceptible to Russian and Chinese misinformation, study finds 1 month ago:
This seems like a fundamental failure in education systems. People need to be taught how to research and find accurate information for themselves. I know when I was in school, we did that, but I have doubts that it’s being done globally or properly overall.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
This just seems like weird censorship/control to me. Unless they can come forward with hard evidence that TikTok is working for the Chinese government.
I just think of all of the actual hateful and concerning websites out there that stay up and nobody blinks an eye.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 month ago:
That’s very interesting. I’m not sure, to be honest.
I had assumed it was the weight as it feels heavy after a while. But it could be due to the lack of a secure grip with the joycons. I know the 3ds had similar issues where, after a while, it didn’t feel comfortable either. But I felt like I could use it much longer.
I didn’t realize valve went through so many iterations. That’s a really cool image. I’ll have to see if I can find better shaped joycons when the switch 2 releases and see it that helps
- Comment on First Look at Switch 2 1 month ago:
It looks pretty cool! It might be too big for handheld. I get sore from the regular switch. But I’m excited for new games. Just gotta wait a lil longer
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 month ago:
Dude high five. I have big hands, but even the regular switch feels uncomfortable after an hour or so. I have no idea how people are managing with the steam deck.
I was sad to see the new switch is larger lol. I’ll never use it handheld. It really makes me wish they just made a lighter NEW 3dsXL with better hand grips. They could call it the NEW NEW 3DSXL.
- Comment on First Look at Switch 2 1 month ago:
Usually, when it comes to these kinds of upgrades, I either do one of two things. If the two consoles can play together, I usually will keep the second. With Nintendo consoles, I will keep one and sit on it (usually until the next generation) and then mod it.
Or alternatively I’ll once in a blue moon, sell it to someone else for a fair price. It can help offset the cost of the new thing, and you know that your old device is still going to get used by someone else who can appreciate it.

Was this the game where the developer made the game less fun a few years ago? I can’t trmember what the issue was but it was something to do with a car crashing into you or something?

- Comment on Reliable tech leaker posts a ‘360-degree render’ of Nintendo’s new console [VGC] 1 month ago:
It was some weird stuff with the screen and audio issues. Probably weird software issues that were fixed with a patch.
This video isn’t the best example as it cherry picks and nitpicks a bit. But there’s some examples of the weird issues too.
youtu.be/Cb-srOfRqNc?si=1FlkmbL-LjXZp9aV
I actually don’t know how widespread the issues were or if they were overblown, but I remember seeing them pop up for the first couple of months after release. I didn’t really hear about any problems after that, so I don’t really know.
My assumption is that the likelihood of these issues repeating is very slim. They probably based the software and hardware off of the existing switch, so I would think it would be less buggy and more refined, but I guess we’ll have to see.
- Comment on Reliable tech leaker posts a ‘360-degree render’ of Nintendo’s new console [VGC] 1 month ago:
I’m actually super curious how easy/hard it’ll be to grab a console at launch. I’m also very curious if the switch 2 will have a stable launch without any weird launchday bugs like the original had.
