- Comment on “I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!) 2 weeks ago:
Gamenative is absolutely sick but Android is also a PITA for handhelds these days. The kernels are always dated, the task management sucks, the UX sucks, and everything has to be ported into an APK with cruddy Android API mappings.
I have Rocknix dual boot on my AYN Thor, and it is so much easier to run native emulators on linux then to run the Android counterparts, which are guaranteed to be missing features or are out of date with upstream releases.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 2 weeks ago:
Within America would be pretty easy, you just have to listen to your constituent demands and acknowledge them publicly with proper respect. Like how Mamdani was literally the only candidate who wasn’t shilling for Israel and actually explained his policy which people wanted.
Internationally, lol it was already down the gutter post WWII. Kind of hard to realive foreign leaders you already assasinated.

Pakistan being in both the “mutilations and genocide” zone as well as the “dictatorship” zone because the line strikes right though Islamabad.
spoiler
Fun fact, back when Pakistan gained independence, its capital was actually Karachi, which was and still is the largest city in Pakistan. Recently during the tons of document drops by the US Government, it came out that the CIA’s foreign HQ for Pakistan was set up in Rawalpindi, which is where the Pakistani Army HQ was stationed, and is where they built the adjacent city of Islamabad which became the new capital. It was the one of only a handful of maybe 5-6 cities that had a CIA command center not stationed in the nation’s captial lol.

You mean physically or the software input stuff?
Haven’t tried the steam deck, but I grew up on the DS Dpad so anything that can’t handle 8 direction input with minimal movement is a complete turn off for me.

- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 3 weeks ago:
I’m too lazy to find my 3 year old comment but it went something like “AAA games are about as AAA as the mortgage bonds were in 2007”.
The era of the AAA gold standard is long gone. You no longer need a million dollar studio bankrolled by a big name publisher/console to make a groundbreaking AAA game.
Most if not all of those studios have been cost cutting for the past decade to maximize profit which is how we reached the current market of UE5 slop and DoA live service games.
There’s even an entire YouTube channel dedicated to showing how many current “AAA” titles have regressed in graphical optimization and quality from older game engines due to the lack of proper development, despite the advancement in consumer hardware.

Anyways, the human trafficking flow is the opposite for South Asia. The oil rich nations like KSA and UAE are notorious for enslaved labor by trapping poor people trying to find work abroad with promises of a living wage and foreign national status.
Which is why their foreign abused labor is mostly Pakistani, Indian, and Sri Lankan.
Pakistan is also so ridiculously starved of international tourism that foreigners have trouble trying to pay for stuff because the locals offer too much.
Some examples:

- Comment on Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option? 4 weeks ago:
And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.
Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.
If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: fedoraproject.org/kde/
Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.
but does that still work when resetting?
Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.
If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.
- Comment on Space Honey 4 weeks ago:
I’m too lazy to find it now, but one of the tests they tried long before NASA started sending people into space was eating a banana upside down where they figured out the digestive tract can function against gravity.
There was also an encyclopedia brown story about this in which I remember Geese and Ducks rely on gravity to swallow, therefore they wouldn’t be able to eat in space.

That’s some garbage W/R and it also doesn’t mean anything unless they share their account name so we can look at the gameplay stats which shows how good they actually are in whatever ship they play in lol.
I’ve seen a guy with 10,000+ games that were almost all in PvE, so he was dogwater in literally every other gameode.

- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 1 month ago:
If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.
It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.
That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.
Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.
40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.
The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).
Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.
If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 month ago:
If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.
If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

- Comment on woops 1 month ago:
Why am I like this?
Procrastination
And how can I make it stop?
Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.
Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

Non answer but it reminds me that Britainized Indian food is the same as Americanized Chinese food. Changed enough that its actually counts as its own unique thing which I guess is cool.
