- Comment on Best game ever? 2 days ago:
I heard how great the Outer Wilds was, so when I saw The Outer Worlds on sale I thought “oh hey sure I’ll buy that for $15” and I was EXTREMELY confused at why people had said it was the best game you could only play once, because that game wasn’t even fun the first time. I later realized my mistake and got the real deal and oh my god I wish I could forget that game and play it again.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
Macs also lack GPUs suitable for gaming. The modern ones are remarkably efficient, partly because they didn’t jam a 4060’s worth of graphic silicon into them. Why would they? Macs are for web browsing, media creation, productivity if you’re in the C-suite and making other people think you’re cool if you’re in a coffee shop. Their users do not expect to run AAA games at 4k60fps.

I think bloom is one of those things that when it’s used right it brings the atmosphere together without sticking out as a thing that’s going on, like how our eyes adjust to light changes. When it’s out of control and blacks out the scene by going WAAAAY too bright it sucks because you’re looking at bloom, not at the game.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, AWS is ginormous and largely invisible. You can usually figure out when something’s in AWS if you can traceroute it, and sometimes by IP, but that requires knowing the IP of the server in question AND having the know-how to use and understand those tools’ output.

Some people get off on toe sucking and porn is produced featuring it. If you put someone else’s face in porn that they didn’t consent to be in you’re on the wrong side of ethics.
Those horrible bastards are more wrong and should be stopped, but nonconsentual porn isn’t right.

Talk to HR about your smelly coworker and then HR gives them a stick of deodorant and the embarrassment fixes the rest.

Carbonating a void underground seems like a bad plan. God help us if Mentos get down there.
And OP was talking about trees.
- Comment on OSHA is woke 1 month ago:
It means in some states, such as California and Oregon, but likely others as well, workers comp is the sole relief for an injured worker. All injuries are considered no-fault and the injured worker has no right to go after their employer unless they can prove that their employer intended to do harm. The injured workers only gets the medical treatment and whatever disability payout workers comp tosses their way.
So, if your supervisor is drinking at work and ignoring warnings about dangerous equipment and then you get hurt by that equipment, you cannot sue. If your supervisor wrote an email about how they didn’t fix some equipment so that it would hurt someone and you get hurt by that equipment, you might be able to sue.
- Comment on OSHA is woke 1 month ago:
Not so fun fact: depending on the state you live in, you may not be able to sue your employer if you are injured due to their negligence. If you work in an unsafe place you should document and report what you see to the relevant authorities and then find a new job

Wear pouch briefs and this will never be a problem.
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 2 months ago:
Totally agree. It’s silly how much better ToTK is at 60fps.
If you hack your Switch and overclock it up to the stock Nvidia shield speeds most games run a lot better.
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 2 months ago:
Yeah, they’re jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.
I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 2 months ago:
That works unless your neighbor had unsecured WiFi. The TVs will phone home in any way they can.

- Comment on Doom on a CAPTCHA is the most frustrating though admittedly raddest way to prove your humanity to an algorithm 2 months ago:
I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

$30 a gram?!? I was paying $35 for 1/8ths of top shelf stuff in the rural western US in 2007. Then again, the rural west is where all the good stuff was grown pre-legalization.

I heard lead poisoning can help poisoners not relapse.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 3 months ago:
For me it’s an investment in freezing my housing costs. I bought 8 years ago and since then the increases in my housing costs have been around 5% as taxes go up. In the same time period, rent for the apartment I was in previously has gone up 65% and is higher than my mortgage payment. Had I not purchased a house there’s a good chance I would have had to either move in with family or move to a much cheaper area.

Tell that to my mortgage.
For the record I own exactly one house, it’s in terrible condition and I don’t have the funds to renovate. Because of the mortgage.
