- Comment on Me today with Bitwarden having server side issues... 5 days ago:
I was working overnight support the night crowdstrike shit the bed. Our systems were fine but payments stopped processing. Nobody up the chain from me awake so we had to wait an hour for news stories to roll in before we knew what was happening.
- Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card? 1 week ago:
The better question is how do you charge an ev with a credit card. The ones around here are ridiculous. Instead of a credit card swipe there are a million different apps you have to download. Oh, you parked your car in a parking garage with no reception? Too bad. Make an account, wait for the confirmation email, and then add your credit card into it.
There are conglomerate apps that bundle some of those brands together, but not all of them. Some of them might take paypal or something like it.
- Comment on Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system? 1 week ago:
We only had Spanish for 8th grade and up. When I was in 7th they had high school French but cut it for budget before I got there.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 1 week ago:
I left for the same reason. I browse on mobile and I genuinely tried for years to find in the official app where to just type in a subreddit. Like if I just heard about and wanted to go to r/whatever, there was no field to type in ‘whatever’. You could search, there was a dropdown of pre approved subs, or subs that passed a subscriber count, very rarely did it include what I was looking for. On Apollo it would take you to the sub you typed in. If advertisers or shareholders demand an unusable website then great I won’t use it.
- Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 2 weeks ago:
Very occasionally, on certain maps people or bots invade. It’s dark souls 1 style. It doesn’t impact that much until you are trying to beat it, then you get invaded once or twice.
- Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think they let you turn it off on launch, or maybe I couldn’t find the setting. I had the laggiest julliannas ghosting around my map every run.
Single player was great, the invasions were awful.
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 1 month ago:
It’s the exact opposite of trapped but what about something like this old comic
Where the princess is in cahoots with the dragon. Maybe there are evil knights coming to marry her, and she needs to create a path for Prince Charming.
- Comment on Steam hits a another all-time user record with over 40 million online 3 months ago:
The only semi good case for nfts I’ve heard is as licensing. Say a game marketplace sells you a nft license for a game, you put that into steam as essentially a cd key. Then if some other library software had better features down the line you could transfer the licenses.
- Comment on Multiversus ends updates, will close servers on May 30 (but will remain playable in Singleplayer) 4 months ago:
Great idea, release a fun enjoyable beta with mtx, shut the game off for a year while we rebuild everything from the ground up, then rerelease as a completely different game. I played throughout the whole “beta” release, then lasted maybe a week when it came back.
- Comment on Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"? 6 months ago:
First you need to define free speech.
Let’s use Call of duty as an example. People love to think of MW2 lobbies as free speech. Male Gamers used their “free speech” to make any women feel unwelcome the minute they spoke. White Gamers listening for any signs of non-whiteness to ridicule. Was this free speech? Or just a group imposing its views on everyone who stood out on the platform? Activision just wants to sell as many copies as possible. So those Gamers get the boot, now those women and minorities feel the freedom to play and speak again.
If the speech is used as a battering ram to relentlessly berate, shame, silence, and enforce groupthink, then there is a chilling effect on the more truly free speech of others.
Using this logic the only way to have a truly free speech platform is to keep these mobs in check, and remove or limit their hate speech.

Their KSP2 design doc was too technical with not enough art? Did the publisher know which ip they were working on?
- Comment on How to impress the honey 8 months ago:
I think it’s mostly for prototyping your own programs, which I haven’t tried yet. It comes with a wifi ssid snooper, and a like greeting card voice recorder/replayer. It’s credit card size, half inch thick. The back half is a removable battery expansion. The stamp has a usb c for data/charging. There’s WiFi, infrared blaster, sd card slot, expansion ports for other sensors. It’s nifty for sure, maybe someday I’ll find a use for it too.

The stamp in the top right is the entire removable motherboard. I put my cardputer on a shelf when it got here and I haven’t gotten around to it yet. M5 stack is pretty cool, and I wish I understood it more.

Hey, I have one of those!

No, something much more elegant.
The Wiimote.

He’s a random celebrity who has made games before, including directing the masterpiece BoomBlox.

That’s no random celebrity, that’s The Director.
Of BoomBlox obviously
