- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 2 weeks ago:
Kingdom Hearts 3 Toy Story world looked damn close to the original, so I’d assume maybe if work was put into it?
- Comment on women are the devil 2 weeks ago:
I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn’t even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a “NWO” (New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!
P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don’t ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?
- Comment on MMO scholar puts a $500 bounty on old versions of RuneScape as part of a community archive project: "You might have ALL of the game's lost versions!" 1 month ago:
I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!
Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.

I just watched this yesterday!
Drew made some very good points while still being understandable enough to those that aren’t as up to par with what is going wrong in the world. Really well done video, and so was his gambling dilemma video!
Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 1 month ago:
I was only there for two months before they shuttered, unfortunately, so I was not able to meet many of those. It didn’t help with that matter that it was completely remote work. :(
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 1 month ago:
Yeah, the firmware lock is some crazy bullshit. My old job was dissolved which means I get to have a perfectly usable iMac but… oh wait. I can’t do anything with it because of the firmware lock and I can’t return it because the company literally shuttered. So, I keep it for the day that MAYBE I will be able to use it. LOL

Random, but you should check out Emerald Seaglass! Beautiful art style combination!

It was pretty good! I hope you enjoy it when you do get to play! :)

- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 2 months ago:
Def Jam: Fight for NY, dot hack series (originals and G.U.), King’s Field 4, Monster Rancher 4, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, and quite a few more. I can’t look at the games I have installed just yet, but I could always recommend more if anyone is interested. :)
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 2 months ago:
I had so much fun experimenting with all the discs in our household with Monster Rancher 4. Thanks for bringing that memory back!
- Comment on The PlayStation Network outage proves PC gamers were right to resist its mandatory sign-in requirement 2 months ago:
Yeah, some of the Steam reviews on God of War Ragnarok were almost exactly like this.
“Oh, no! You have to use a third-party login to play your game! Get over it, it’s a great game, who cares about you having to go out of your way to arbitrarily create an account for a platform you’ve never used before!” - essentially.
Fucking shit eaters.

Do you have a good source for learning about .zims? I’ve only ever seen it as Wikipedia use. :)

I understand. I was more of making the point that YouTube will continue to do this, and warning others to be prepared for the worst!

I’ve been downloading my favorite long form retrospective videos for a few weeks now getting ready for YouTube just shit itself in stupidity.

- Comment on Sony removes PlayStation account requirement from 4 single-player Steam games: Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered 2 months ago:
Well, at first I was begrudgingly trying to find SOME way to not use it. I don’t want it, I don’t need it, and the game most definitely does not need it.
Then, after an hour of trying to find that avenue, I said, “Okay. I have a PSN account from way back on the PS3, so I’ll just fucking use that I guess.”
Cue to me finding my login stuff, trying to log in, getting a password reset prompt, click the reset password link, and wait for the email to arrive.
Dear reader, the email NEVER arrived, and then they would say that I had sent a request already and then I said fuck this, fuck Sony, I’ll just pirate the game.
Then, I was able to play the fucking game.

Thank you!
I’ve played through them before way back on the Xbox 360, but Steam had a sale for them a couple of years ago for like $20, so I couldn’t resist getting them for a superior platform.
The EA app is by and large the only thing that truly sucks about these games. I already beat Mass Effect 1 again, and damn is that game boring at times. The story is still great of course, but it definitely shows it’s age! Mods have alleviated most of what I hated (looking at you MAKO…) and now I am about 75% through Mass Effect 2. I’ve beat ME3 before, but it has been so long that I’m hoping it isn’t as bad as I remember.
I played Mass Effect 2 first at the time, because I was renting games from a local video rental place. Loved it to bits. It’s crazy being able to play it with Alec Ryder’s armor from Andromeda. Fits Shep to a T!

They were.
I bought God of War Ragnarok through Steam, and had a hell of a time trying to get past the PlayStation account. I spent an hour or two trying to do this, gave up, refunded the game, and immediately pirated the game.
No PlayStation login, and the game worked fine with whatever updates I could find.
Fuck that, and fuck Sony. You will not do that to me again. I can’t speak for others though. I’m sure they will eventually pull this scummy shit again, and we’ll be talking about it. Again.

Hey there! I’m also going through Mass Effect right now. The EA app is literally the only thing I HATE about trying to play through that game!
- Comment on EA lost $6 billion in market value, following FC 25 & Dragon Age underperformance news 3 months ago:
Dragon Age Veilguard was a bastardization of Dragon Age. Of course it was going to fail. You failed your core audience, you idiots.
If you wanted to make a Marvel version of a dark fantasy game, you could’ve made a new IP, instead of leeching off the brand.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Patch 2.21 3 months ago:
The body mod isn’t exactly the one I used, but to give you an idea of the mods I liked using at least.
There was also a garage mod that allowed you to tune the vehicles in the game, and a mod that makes the legendary ping hack back to its superior form from the original release before they started changing things.
Nexus Mods hosts a bunch of horny mods, and there is a toggle for it to help get the clutter out of the way. I keep it on because I think some NSFW is gore related, and I might be interested in those if they are decent enough.

- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
Multiple data leaks have came about because of Facebook yet you don’t see anyone here saying anything about being happy to ban it. It’s so weird to see the disconnect. The true answer is for ALL of us to have actual data privacy laws enacted by our dinosaurs in government.
- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
Are you somehow not aware that Google/Facebook/Twitter literally do the same thing? Wouldn’t it make more sense to create a data privacy law so that everyone benefits? I don’t understand why that’s so hard to grasp for some of these folks.
- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
The data is stored on US soil, so whatever they are able to gather, the US government is allowing it. Which means… all social media. So, ban all social media then if it’s such a risk, right? Or… I don’t know… maybe make an actual data privacy law so no one can steal and hoover up your precious data?
- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
I’m… pretty sure people can like both open source and closed source things… “manipulating” yes. I’ve been so manipulated. I’ve been so manipulated that I think there should be actual data privacy laws. They got me.
- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
See, to me, it’s not irrelevant. Either make a blanket data privacy law, or shut the fuck up.
- Comment on 小红书 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure most people who are doing this are trying, in their own way, to make a point.
It wasn’t about “national security”. It was about a large digital meeting place where ideas could be shared, or feelings and frustrations at their government could be seen and felt by others who felt the same. Big Brother doesn’t like that, unless it is on US Corporate Approved Social Media, where they can promptly shut you down, or get their algorithm to put post with specific keywords out of the eyes of as many as possible.
So, instead of creating actual data privacy laws, as they should have, they decided to attack TikTok, because Mark Zuckerburg got in front of congress during whatever case it was that brought his lizard ass in the room (maybe the Cambridge Analytica scandal?) and said that TikTok was more dangerous than his own platform.
There you go. It was never about “national security”, as there were much better ways to handle that than banning one single app.
