- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 month ago:
Full agree. I do want some kind of policy for games that introduce anti-cheat both during early access and after release. Bricking a game you paid for should offer some sort of recourse.
- Comment on Star Trek: Lower Decks Releases Homage Poster for Final Season Celebration 2 months ago:
My issue wasn’t with the show, but with Paramount+ as an app with it’s 60+ trackers. I actually really like the show, just not enough to deal with Paramount’s spyware.

Y’all motherfuckers need Torm.
- Comment on The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines 8 months ago:
I’m not convinced Paradox knows what they are doing as publisher. Millenia was similarly pushed out the door before it was ready (though in a better state than Cities: Skylines 2). And both games pushed out the door in the last week of the quarter in a transparent effort to boost their earnings. The shortsightedness of the publisher is now impacting their reputation in ways that will be hard to recover. I no longer consider buying Paradox published titles until they are at least a year old or have at least a few months of reviews showing they are solid (like AoW4).

So many ways to have fun in DF!

Timothee Chalamet as Data (he’s in everything).
- Comment on Used to scare the living daylights out of me 1 year ago:
If Death is so scary, why do I keeping running into slash fic for the new Puss-in-Boots movie?
- Comment on Bill Maher postpones return to the air, the latest TV host to balk at working during writers strike 1 year ago:
I’ve hated him for platforming conservatives for years while offering the weakest counter-points to their sophistry. He thinks he’s John Stewart, but lacks the discipline and hard work that goes into preparing for interviews with hostile guests.
- Comment on Forcing Workers Back to the Office Might Not Have Been a Good Idea After All 1 year ago:
Right… that’s why you would use a VDI. There’s nothing local except a thin client that runs your citrix/vmware/whatever client. There’s a reason that VDI is generally used for PCI-compliant business cases but VPN is not.
- Comment on Forcing Workers Back to the Office Might Not Have Been a Good Idea After All 1 year ago:
If you use vdi that runs on a corporate thin client security is basically a non-issue. Data never leaves the data center and so long as you harden the thin client it should be difficult to breach it.

I ended up fighting Nere really early before finishing most of Act 1 and reloaded that fight just so many times before finally winning with some creative strategies.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
I don’t think demanding quality games is inherently at odds with wanting studios to not abuse their workers. What we really should support is broad labor protections and labor unions for developers. Because clearly the AAA studios don’t need the excuse of high demand for features from gamers in order to abuse their people since they have been doing that for years while churning out trash titles.
- Comment on Obscure games talk 1 year ago:
Shadows of Forbidden Gods - a map-based strategic game where you play as an Old God seeking to destroy the world. You mostly interact with the world through your agents and the forces of good will seek to stop you so you need to sow chaos and strife in the world, cause war, plague, famine and death to keep heroes occupied until you bring about the end.
The UI is… not good. But the game ends up being really fun anyway and there is a good payoff of seeing long laid plans come to fruition.
