Not to mention, if you miss a payment, you typically have to pay interest on the full original loan from the date you took it out, at some egregiously high interest rate.
- Comment on Anon runs into his boss 2 days ago:
Yeah, unfortunately you can get a DWI for pulling over and napping in your car on the side of the road because you didn’t feel safe driving. Because they argue how else did you get there if not by driving. And I suppose no one sober would choose to start drinking on the side of the road in a car.
It’s even worse than that. You can be parked right outside of a bar and still get a DWI, because if you’re in the driver’s seat and could conceivably access the keys, you’re considered to be ‘in control of the vehicle’, which is all it takes. So if you’re going to do this, make sure the car isn’t running, the keys aren’t anywhere near the ignition, and you’re in the back seat.

You get 30 minutes of ad-free listening, but not all in a row. Sounds like you got 8 minutes worth already; after this add, you can get another 8 minutes.

Haha… Yeeaaah, I suspect this instance might have a somewhat higher concentration of those folks than the average.

I don’t know… I know quite a few folks whom I’m sure would be into that.

I mean, also the way he imagines, really, if I’m interpreting his poorly worded statement correctly. ‘The Government’ (that is to say, Trump) should be held accountable for instigating J6… but so should everyone who participated.

Anything using a compatibility layer (e.g. Proton) through Steam is going to have an entry in the ‘compatdata’ folder in your Steam library. Inside that, there’s an entire windows filesystem folder structure, so finding the actual data is a two part process:
- Find your compatdata folder in your Steam library; usually you can do this by rightclicking a game in Steam -> Browse Local Files -> go up 2 folder levels (to steamapps) - should be a compatdata folder in there. Open that, find the folder whose name matches the app ID, and you’re in business.
- Navigate the fake Windows folder structure to wherever the save data would be stored in Windows. [user] is always ‘steamuser’.
It looks like a really obtuse file path because it’s essentially two filepaths in one, but it’s not as bad as it looks to actually navigate.

Just figure out where Trump’s friends are putting their money on this one and follow it for a payday.

I’ve read stories about exhibitionists who would take a ton of naked pictures of themself and send them in to get developed, just to get off on the idea of someone at the photo shop seeing them. I’m sure you’ve seen some shit.

Then why were you lurking suspiciously in the mail room in the first place? Tell us that!

I don’t recall Donatello’s staff having a spinning blade in the middle of it, though!
- Comment on Really incredible. I want a set. 1 week ago:
I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable using that unless it had a small finger guard added on either side of the blade. Even with the wrapped rope for grip, it’d only take one slip to cut your fingers pretty good.

I would unironically buy and use the sai one. That looks like a fairly functional design.

- Comment on I wish videogame culture would take more cues from readers 2 weeks ago:
I especially love it with puzzle games like Blue Prince, where it’s less about sharing solutions and more about sharing theories and ideas. “Hey, maybe if we do X…” “Oh, that’s a neat idea - oh, wow, I bet if we used Y there it’d do Z…” type discussions. You get those neat eureka moments of shared inspiration riffing off of each other.

Treating games like books in a book club - where you play through something for the first time alongside a friend who’s also playing through it for the first time, and discuss it as you go, is a lot of fun and often leads to a greater insight into the storyline or mechanics or whatever else than you’d have gotten alone.

I swear we recently had this same question, with the same argument and even phrasing, for $50 (USD) bills. What’s up with that?
- Comment on You after telling your friends for the 179004th time today that they should just stop complaining about Windows 11 and just use Linux 2 weeks ago:
This was the biggest hurdle to me making the switch - I didn’t have a support network, and while I’m tech savvy enough to research my own solutions, it was scary to potentially be out a computer while doing so. In reality, it was a non-issue. Answers are easy to find and even CLI solutions usually just amounted to copying a command from a forum post and pasting it into the terminal. Obviously not the best security to be running terminal commands you don’t understand but it was a good way to learn (for me).
Point being, if it’s someone who isn’t completely helpless, teaching them “Just type ‘debian’ + ‘problem’ into Google” will probably solve 90% of issues a non-power-user is going to have.

You’re right, I did! In my defense, it’s been 20+ years since I’ve played it. Maybe I should change that.

Until the other issue highlighted in that comment - that the majority of people can’t afford to take the time off work to do something disruptive - is solved, I’m not sure how we get from here to there, unfortunately.

Just search for ‘no kings march 2026’ and you’ll get pages of results.

They’re saying that if 90% of all games that exist were new each year, the number of games that would have to release each year to achieve it would be exponentially increasing and therefore unsustainable. The facts are simple math.
