- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 1 week ago:
It was okay. Nothing exciting, but one aspect of it that I did like is that you can choose to watch your choices happen in real time after you finish a level, which - although not the smoothest - does actually make it feel like John Wick just rolled through.
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 3 weeks ago:
Well, shit. I pulled out my laptop to grab the scripts and it looks like the extension was updated and it wiped them out. I didn’t have them backed up anywhere else, so I guess their gone unless I find myself back on the apps again (please, god, no…).

OkCupid was amazing 15 years ago, but it’s pretty shit now. For what OP is looking for, it’s probably still the best option, but it’s a very low bar.
OP, if you want to check out OkCupid, message me. I can set you up with a couple of browser scripts I wrote to improve the website experience. One will show you your matches’ photos. You won’t be able to view their profiles, but people that like you will generally show up in the profiles you’re shown pretty quickly, so it’s easy to find them. The other will need to be slightly tailored to you if you want to use it, but it will automatically skip any profiles that are showing to you that don’t meet your minimum requirements, and even alert you if one of them liked you instead of just skipping it, just in case you’d like to give it a closer look before you make a final decision.
- Comment on Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's new IP, and other unannounced projects 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. I really wish more multiplayer games would put in bot options. I am firmly an anti-PVP player, but I would play the hell out of some of the big PVP games if they gave me a pure PVE option.

To be fair to MS, they bought that with Rare a long time ago, and they have put out a perfect dark game since then.
- Comment on Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's new IP, and other unannounced projects 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the correction. I was also looking forward to Perfect Dark. Been a big fan since the original on N64, hence the username.

Fuckers buying up studios and then shutting them down. I knew this was going to happen.

“If that were true, I’d be trying even harder to make you take it.”
- Comment on What do you have to wake up to to be considered a heavy/light/normal sleeper? 5 weeks ago:
Mirroring what others have said, often even heavy sleepers have sounds there sensitive to that wake them up immediately. I had someone crash on my couch one night. I knew they had to be up in the morning for work, so I set an alarm for myself to make sure they got up too (this is right around when smartphones were starting to become a thing, and it wasn’t really common to have alarms set on your phone, hence why I was going through the extra effort for them). I woke up and went over to try and wake them up. First it was a soft nudge in the shoulder, then a harder one, then a shake, then grabbing them by both shoulders and aggressively shaking them. I literally stopped to check their breathing and make sure they hadn’t died on me. My roommate came out during this and was also laughing and wondering if they had died. I really had to use the restroom, so said I was going to do that and then come back and give it another go. While I’m in there, I hear their phone go off and my roommate starts laughing hysterically. Apparently as soon as the tone went off on their phone, they sat upright, wide awake.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn’t bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don’t remember at this point).
- Comment on Prince of Persia remake apparently still on track for 2026, per Ubisoft 5 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you’re talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what’s so surprising to me.
- Comment on Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy - Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
It looks like it has nothing to do with Plague Tale.

Might want to update your other post too.
- Comment on Ben Starr recieves Balatro's BAFTA award in a clown costume 3 months ago:
Fantastic speech! So happy I decided to watch it!
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 4 months ago:
Seconding Dying Light and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.
- Comment on Netflix culls staff at Oxenfree developer Night School Studio 5 months ago:
I didn’t realize that Netflix actually bought the studio. I just thought they licensed the game or something.

If you can’t play with a light gun, what’s the point?
- Comment on Infamous vs Prototype | 15 Years Later 6 months ago:
Ghost of Tsushima felt the same to me. Great characters and a beautiful world, but the gameplay felt bland. I was happy to finally get to the end because I didn’t have to play anymore.

Yep! That’s why everyone was wondering WTF before it came out.
- Comment on The PlayStation Portal remote player experience to evolve with new system update 8 months ago:
This update will also include a beta version of a new feature that many fans have been asking for – support for cloud streaming on PS Portal. When the update is live, PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to participate in a beta for cloud streaming on PS Portal, allowing select PS5 games in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog* to be streamed directly from our servers, even without a PS5 console.
- Comment on Death Stranding gets surprise Xbox Series X release 8 months ago:
It’s interesting that it specifically mentions the Series X. My understanding is that anything released on Series X must also run on the Series S.
- Comment on An important update on Concord 10 months ago:
I haven’t really noticed anything in that regard. I’ve also been curious about the collectibility of physical copies of online only games. If the game is no longer playable, is there actually any value? I feel like things are a little too early to say at this point, but given how rare this title will seemingly be, I’m hedging my bets.
- Comment on An important update on Concord 10 months ago:
I’m a collector, and this is a game that may have a high value in the future due to being rare. If it was literally only available for 2 weeks and they pulled all the remaining copies and refunded people, there’s not going to be many, and I will have a sealed copy. Of course, it’s possible that they may re-release it in the future if they decide it’s worth the money to tweak it, but I honestly kind of doubt it. You may be wondering why it matters if it literally can’t be played and who would want it, and that’s absolutely a fair question, but in the end, the answer is collectors.
- Comment on An important update on Concord 10 months ago:
I didn’t realize that there was a physical release for this game. I just bought myself a copy to keep sealed in my collection.

Works for me on Sync.
- Comment on On Lemmy can we use the NA word or do we get ban? Not going to type it out because I do not want to get banned. 1 year ago:
Life pro tip: If a community would ban you for using the word Nazi (assuming you’re not being an asshole), make them ban you.
- Comment on NPR: 'Star Trek: Discovery' ends as an underappreciated TV pioneer 1 year ago:
the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.
Yeah, it’s not “underappreciated”. It’s just not very good for what many of us are expecting. I still haven’t gotten through season 3.
- Comment on Why does Sync not display some comments? 1 year ago:
If you’re specifically seeing that there’s one comment, but there are none when you open the comments, The two most likely scenarios seem like the posts are for videos and you have pipe links hidden in the settings, or you have an active user blocked.
- Comment on what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall? 1 year ago:
Some good suggestions already, but I would also keep in mind that you can put a nail in the wall right behind where you’re going to be hanging up one of the pictures. It’s a small hole, and there’s no immediate need to paint the patch since it’s going to be hidden behind a frame anyway.
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 1 year ago:
My understanding is that the permits essentially allow you to disrupt things like traffic by having sections of the city cordoned off for gathering/marching. Take this with a grain of salt, as I’ve never had to actually deal with the permitting myself.
