Didn’t know this was a thing. Can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it’s dumb and wasteful of people’s time, including baristas.

- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 6 days ago:
Just about to put everyone I know who has the latest gen Xbox had trouble acquiring one. The pandemic messed up the launch of both games and the manufacture/availability of the consoles and unlike the switch and PS5 (which have worldwide popularity), the Xbox just never seems to have recovered because Americans went from a point in time where they had a lot more free time and potentially money (with the stimulus), right back to the grind with stagnant wages and housing crisis etc. Can’t say I’m surprised that it’s not selling well these days.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 6 days ago:
There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 6 days ago:
The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally bany post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.
More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They’re upset because it’s just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

- Comment on What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if I’d considered it a board game, but the Forbidden Island game (and the others like it) spring to mind. The idea is that you and the other players have to work together to gather everything you need including the treasure you came for before the island you’re on sinks into the ocean.
It’s fun working together and I always thought it did a good job of incentivising that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
People don’t want to wake up. They see horrors every day and look no further than the surface of them. They are horrified by things they do not even begin to understand. But they’ll push a narrative if you put it in front of them and they feel reasonably selfrighteous about it.
That’s why nobody is out there actively eating the rich and becoming the Luigi they want to see in the world.

The secret is to get filthy rich, I guess. Money ≠ Repercussions.
- Comment on The $900 Ayaneo 3 is the most exciting PC handheld the company’s yet made 3 weeks ago:
Ayaneo have always struggled with steam os integration, but it probably will have a Bazzite variant.
docs.bazzite.gg/…/Ayaneo_Handhelds/
I don’t see why you’d spend $900 on this when you could get a better handheld for that money but I’ll give them this, the swappable joystick/button thing is cool.

- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 4 weeks ago:
There are problems with the law as well. The main one is that Tik Tok buys a whole lot of data about Americans and their browser history etc from data brokers. So they don’t necessarily need the app to gather information. Comparisons of the Tik Tok app vs it’s counterpart in China exist and they paint a pretty significant picture of the differences and similarities that explain how it could be used to push a narrative or propaganda. Barring that though two things can be true. It can be true that Tik Tok is a danger to national security, and also be lobbied against by American Tech companies.
What we’re seeing is that this law was the result of several things and doesn’t just have one singular aim. Anyone who says it’s just about one singular thing just doesn’t want to admit the validity of the other arguments because it ruins how they feel about the federal government, Tik Tok, China, Trump, Biden etc.

Having never used the air B&B app or website I don’t know if there is an option that differentiates the two.
- Comment on "2 bedroom" AirBnB. 5 weeks ago:
When you buy a hotel room, don’t you get the room to make sure it’s what you want? Same applies here. If you contact them I’m sure they’d happily explain the accommodations. If not, give them a bad review and move on.
- Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years? 5 weeks ago:
Can you give some hard examples of what you mean, and a contrast of what you would expect from a non-american please? I’m reading through this post and I don’t know what you’re seeing. It’s not clear to me given what you wrote so it’s hard to pinpoint which behaviors you’re referring to.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
COD - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (RICHOCHET).
Paladins - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (EAC).
GTA V - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).
Destiny 2 - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).
This is the fault of the developers themselves not making those games compatible with Steam OS, and has nothing to do with Steam or Linux and everything to do with the developers themselves. So, if you’re going to at the blame game, blame the correct people.
I don’t know about VR in Linux, but it looks like the other people in this thread have me covered on that and they have explained in detail what’s going on there.
I’ve been on this space since the original steam machines. You either have no idea what it was like 10+ years ago with Linux gaming, or you’re being willfully ignorant and not finding out anything about what’s going on now and you’re salty for reasons I don’t know and don’t care about. Do not at me. I don’t care what you have to say if all you’re going to do is be sardonic and caustic. You have a nice day.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Said the person who did no research has no idea what they’re talking about. Steam OS has been pushing game devs and publishers to be more compatible with Linux, not less. Additionally, the only online games that really have problems with steam OS are ones that require kernel level anti-cheat, and we all should be pushing for the downfall of that. It isn’t necessary.

Then people didn’t even check and I honestly just assumed it was residual hate or an assumption of defense so while this clarifies things it doesn’t really make it any better.
If the community is going to assume everyone knows what’s going on, then that’s on them.
- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 1 month ago:
I suppose it’s possible that that’s not how they identify and it’s not about gender at all. If someone tells me they like to be called Sara or Brad, I don’t try to figure out the how and the why. I’m probably not the best person to ask this question to because I don’t think I know the answer.
- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 1 month ago:
Some people aren’t necessarily trans but don’t feel they fit gendered pronouns. I generally try to abide by their wishes because it doesn’t matter to me why, just that I be respectful to people the way I’d want them to be respectful to me. But people sure do use pronouns like that and it’s not just trans people either. I don’t care what people identify as. That’s not any of my business.

Cells can light off individually with color was my point, but you are in fact correct. I’d only seen one video at the time and it certainly wasn’t the best quality so it was hard to tell.

- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 1 month ago:
I have opened it but haven’t actually been inside. I usually do okay until the Mawleks. Usually die right after them. It’s not a bad idea to practice bosses actually. I’ve gotten every boss in the game on this save except HK, and Grim.
- Comment on One what? 1 month ago:
Fireworks are made of flammable metals or other flammable elements that burn differently depending on their makeup. Electric batteries contain some of these, so it stands to reason that you would see something like this if one exploded. Especially with thousands of individual cells.
- Comment on Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"? 1 month ago:
It’s for identification as well as light. You can tell which way a plane is facing/ which way it’s moving, and which side of the plane tour looking at based solely on the lights and their color. That’s important for night flights.
