• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This spoon.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Squid! How could you! Lol these are soup spoons (or as we call them in New England: Chowder Spoons)

  Now, why they only have soup spoons as opposed to having some of a few different kinds…ok well THAT your friends are weird for!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Wallace & Gromit joke that was too British for Netflix⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m American and part of the fun of British humor is the lingo I don’t understand and have to go seek out!

  I would have known “bog chain” but just because people might not know it doesn’t mean cut it! Fucking stupid decision by Netflix.

  I know that they don’t last forever but man, seeing latex props from pop culture from my childhood really sticks it how fucking old I’ve gotten.

  Don’t look up the TMNT ones, those are brutal

  We’ve been waiting for so long that games don’t even remember Half-Life. It’s all “silksong copium” memes now lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why are fax machines still used by medical systems?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is patently false. Encrypted email and patient ports are absolutely allowed under regulation.

  What you have here is a practice that has probably been in operation since the 80s or before, and they refuse to change their ways.

  I own several Analogue products. They’re solid AF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FPGS would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and then emulation should be a term limited to software.

  Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 -‘it’s just not doing so in a way that’s compatible with software emulation at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Passkeys are basically client certs for website logins.

  Server stores a public key, encrypts a challenge on login attempt. Client browser uses private key to decrypt challenge (and sign it maybe?) and respond to web server to authenticate.

  Hackers can’t get a shared secret (like a password or password hash) by hacking the website’s database becaus the public key is all they store; useless without the private key.

  Not foolproof, but much harder to exploit than passwords - which many people re-use across multiple sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What letter has the best games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Darkest Dungeon

  This is good info but I believe they mean the Chapter names which appear along the play bar (see “Chapter: Results” in OP’s screenshot)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Families logo is clearly a Rorschach test, so what do you see?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Gaben, carrying a 3, and because it’s a Rorschach test, it’s been folded in half which gives it that “8” look.

  Soon, boys. Soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spray Paint Simulator looks like it will suck me in as badly as PowerWash Simulator did⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New SEGA trademark “Yakuza Wars” is probably not a Total War: Like A Dragon game, but let's speculate wildly anyway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie lays off 220 people, will set up spin-off studio⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine having that entire lore to work with and you make a shitty “The Finals” with it.

  Bungie lost their way the moment Microsoft pulled gaming away from Mac.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not unsettling stop-motion, I don't want to see it.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the real Thomas actually even count as stop motion? I don’t recall a single frame-by-frame in that entire show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True Lies: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Last Great Action Blockbuster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why, because of the “arab terrorist” trope? I mean? A bit I suppose but also it’s not like groups like that haven’t existed in the past/exist today. I don’t recall them getting into the backstory of “Crimson Jihad” at all but given American interventionism has, IRL bread the distain of Western hegemony; you could look at it as an inevitability that they’d exist and a warning as to what might happen to America (and kinda did, on 9/11). That clearly isn’t the movie’s intent though, but I can see how “Arab terror groups exist and do not like America” could become a plot; and like any action flick they do not do any sympathizing with the designated bad guys.

  They do kinda cartoonishly kill the leader at the end though, in a very “America good, delight in this malcontent’s ultimate failure, the west always wins, hoorah” kind of way; but this is also a mid-90s action flick from a time before most of us had a way to see through all the “the rest of the world is desolate and savage” narratives spun by the CIA and the state department and rung though our elected officials. So, it’s not exactly gonna be woke.

  It’s a great movie but it’s also definitely a self-report on the state of the American zeitgeist at the time, yeah.
