- Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream 2 weeks ago:
They’re addicted to the high of winning, which happens at random intervals. That’s the core of gambling addiction and MOBA addiction. They will win again… eventually. So they keep playing even though losing sucks.

1:45 was definitely enough
- Comment on Please stop blocking VPNs for established accounts 4 weeks ago:
The worst part about this issue is, once you hit submit and get the infinite spinner, the text box for the post or comment is locked, and you can’t even copy/paste the text in order to try again after turning off the VPN, and you can’t cancel the submission to unlock it.

You aren’t forced to update the game.
- Comment on Anyone else travel to see the eclipse just to have clouds come in right before totality? 5 weeks ago:
Not really mad. Just very sad. I had been waiting years for it and I drove hours so I could spend the eclipse with friends within the totality. We made the most of it, but it sucked.
- Comment on Facebook now wants to write your posts for you with AI. 1 month ago:
I use a Firefox addon called “FB Purity” it blocks all sponsored and recommended posts. You can even configure it to hide posts like “Your friend commented on this” which also puts random public posts on your page. My main page is very clean and takes 10 seconds to scroll down every few days to see the most recent pet photos or any important news from my family.

- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 1 month ago:
I might be misremembering what game it was. I was just a kid when I learned about it. I can’t seem to find anything about it other than an impossible jump in the PC port of TMNT.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 1 month ago:
You’re saying that because games couldn’t be patched, they had better gameplay? That makes no sense at all.
Lots of games had crap gameplay. There are more junk vintage games than good ones. The gameplay was simple because it had to be. The consoles didn’t have the power to do more. Chips were expensive. So they had to invent simple gameplay that could fit in 4k of ROM. If dirt simple gameplay is your thing, great. Thr Atari joystick had one stinking button for crying out loud.
You think Space Invaders has better gameplay than Sky Force Reloaded? Or Strider has better gameplay than Hollow Knight? You’re insane.
E.T. for the 2600 had gameplay so bad it crashed the entire video game industry.
Double Dragon on NES had a jump that was impossible to make forcing the company to make a new cart and give refunds.

Oh shit! That makes more sense then. Thanks
- Comment on Virtual Boy Pro for Nintendo Switch - Announcement Trailer (2024) 1 month ago:
Yes, it’s called Red Viper and its great! I’m just surprised Nintendo didn’t do it themselves.
- Comment on Virtual Boy Pro for Nintendo Switch - Announcement Trailer (2024) 1 month ago:
Obviously. Even for April fools I’m surprised they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed.
- Comment on Virtual Boy Pro for Nintendo Switch - Announcement Trailer (2024) 1 month ago:
I can’t believe they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed. Why they never ported the games to 3DS is mind boggling.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
Probably, but all you really need is an app called EasyTether. I wrote a big comment about it on this post.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
Get EasyTether for your phone ($10) and you can USB tether to any PC that has the companion app installed (free).
Even a Raspberry Pi works. I have a Pi configured to broadcast as a WiFi AP, so I just plug in my phone via USB and I have instant WiFi for all of my devices. Takes a fair amount of configuration to do that, but there are tutorials online. Much easier just plugging your phone into a laptop for internet on just that laptop.
Or maybe a laptop can act as a WiFi AP, too. I do know Windows can share internet out a free Ethernet port very easily.
I use a VPN so my wireless provider doesn’t see Windows update or Stream downloads, etc.

You should play the original! 😂

If you say “Here’s your large number of things”, I can forgive the error, but if you spell out “Here is your large number of things” instead of “Here are…” I shake my head.

- Comment on What adventure games do you recommend? 2 months ago:
I enjoyed Botanicula. It’s a cute point-and-click adventure game.
- Comment on What adventure games do you recommend? 2 months ago:
That game is fucking hard. Only play it if you like cursing a lot.
- Comment on Some of my comments were edited and the pictures broken 2 months ago:
It’s just an image CDN. It’s used by people running websites to offload the generation of thumbnails (and other smaller sizes) of large images onto a different server (the image CDN’s servers). Images can be resized on-the-fly based on the user’s device and screen size instead of premaking multiple versions of an image in some program like Photoshop.
It has nothing to do with how an image is presented other than to change the native size. It will have literally the same effect as just uploading a larger or smaller version in the first place. Nothing more.

Gboard is especially bad at this. If a word could in any conceivable way be capitalized, it will capitalize it.

Good luck getting it to run no matter where you buy it! You’ll need patches and a prayer circle to play it.
