Nic Cage is like Tom Cruise: he just plays as himself in every film and somehow it works.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 1 year ago:
People love to say this but it literally doesn’t bother me at all.
- Comment on Facepalm 1 year ago:
YouTube in a browser on mobile is clunky as hell. I’ll stick with ReVanced.
- Comment on Best of both worlds 1 year ago:
Looked it up and that a damn good TV. Never get rid of it.
Couldn’t find the HDMI version number but it’s probably 1.2, which is new enough that it shouldn’t cause any issues, even with something modern like a PS5.
I’m envious.
- Comment on Best of both worlds 1 year ago:
Which version of HDMI, though? (You can find out if you search for the model number.) That can limit what you can plug into it — mostly with newer stuff — if it’s an old enough version.
- Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing? 1 year ago:
Also phones get so many notifications these days that the light has mostly lost its meaning. Last time I had a phone with one was around 2018 and the light was pretty much blinking at all times.
- Comment on GTA 6 has patented a new locomotion system to make "highly dynamic and realistic animations" 1 year ago:
I don’t know how old you are, but I feel like younger people say this more often than older people.
As someone who saw the transition from 8-bit in their childhood, all the way to today, graphics were everything in the 80s all the way until at least the 2000s. Each new generation was leaps and bounds better than the last; I remember the discussions in the playground being centered around graphics every time a new console was announced.
Nowadays we have incremental updates at best, so now people care less and less about graphics like they used to. Not me, though. I’m still a graphics slut and an absolute whore for path traced games. I’ll play a game I don’t enjoy if it has the latest in graphics tech.
- Comment on For some reason, I'm doubtful. 1 year ago:
It actually was a good concept cause you’d get a massive discount on a new PC by signing up for the subscription program. The only thing “scummy” about it was the way it was marketed.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
Well the game is out and luckily the rumors weren’t true.
With a medium-density city, I get about 40 FPS @ 4K in the sequel. With the same-sized city, I used to get 20 FPS in the original, so twice the FPS is a massive improvement IMO. But people are still salty cause we live in a world where anything less than 60 FPS @ 1440p is unacceptable. Which is stupid as fuck cause you don’t need 240+ FPS in a city-building game with next to no action in it that would require such a high framerate.

Is fish not meat?
- Comment on How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose? 1 year ago:
I do this in the shower. Take a couple of fat rails off the showerhead and my nose is feeling hydrated.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Quite the opposite, actually. Because of AI, I got back into web development for the first time in 20 years. I’d never be able to figure out the new stuff like HTTPS and DDoS protection on my own if it weren’t for ChatGPT’s help. It got me up to speed on HTML5, and helped me remember how PHP and Javascript work, all within a couple of days. Would have taken months otherwise.
You should be using AI as a tool to expand your creativity, not feel hindered by it.
- Comment on Valve is now reversing VAC bans due to AMD drivers in CS2, according to patch notes 1 year ago:
Do “people still play this game.” This guy. It’s literally the #1 title on Steam
- Comment on "Hosts" indeed, at least pick one... 1 year ago:
The major thing that keeps me from trying Airbnb is the fact that you have to clean up after yourself. I go on vacation to relax, not clean.
Also bedbugs.

What’s in his search history? His son is named Porn?
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
You could fix it somewhat with mods, by forcing cars to take specific lanes. Didn’t solve the problem, but it helped. Can’t wait to try the new traffic AI in the sequel.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 1 year ago:
This article on their website goes into detail on exactly how they’re planning on fixing the traffic issues. The AI will actually change lanes this time!

Why not? The constant updates are what kept me playing for so many years!

Candy stores still sell them.
- Comment on Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision 1 year ago:
Yes they improved a lot of the gameplay in FO4, but Bethesda sucks at writing a good story. Just look at Starfield.
And yes, FO76 is worse. I was careful with my wording in the other comment.

Dialup didn’t use ethernet cables.
- Comment on my favorite flavor! what's yours? 1 year ago:
I probably should have pointed out that I was being sarcastic. By “love it so”, they mean “love it so much”. It’s an old phrase that has fallen out of usem
- Comment on my favorite flavor! what's yours? 1 year ago:
The tagline for Haribo bothers me. “Kids and adults love it, so…”
“So” what!?
- Comment on Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision 1 year ago:
I’d still give it a try. FO4 was one of the worst games in the series.
- Comment on Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision 1 year ago:
So you’ve never played Fallout: New Vegas?
Wow, just wow. You’re missing out.
- Comment on AMD Counter-Strikes Itself, Pulls Driver After Anti-Lag Feature Causes CS2 Bans 1 year ago:
I’d still be mad about that too.
- Comment on Michael Caine Announces Retirement From Acting 1 year ago:
That’s how the joke actually goes, I just forgot it. Thanks.
- Comment on AMD Counter-Strikes Itself, Pulls Driver After Anti-Lag Feature Causes CS2 Bans 1 year ago:
Reminds me of the early days of PUBG, when they started banning people for using Reshade. Instead of, you know, fixing the blurry, desaturated graphics. They eventually added a sharpening setting but to this day the game still looks dull, which makes enemies hard to spot in a game that heavily relies on being able to see.
- Comment on Michael Caine Announces Retirement From Acting 1 year ago:
If you pronounce his name in his accent, it sounds like you’re saying “my cocaine”.
- Comment on Intel Inside 1 year ago:
AMD heating issues are easily solved with a PBO. You can also set a temperature limit (with minimal loss of performance) if it helps you sleep at night.
You should be optimizing your CPU settings in the BIOS when you build a new PC, anyway, just like you do with RAM and fan curves. If you just pop the chip in and go, you’re going to get heat, yes.
