- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally World Premiere Reveal Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 1 week ago:
I think it’s interesting that Microsoft is leaning into Windows on Xbox devices. It lends credibility to the rumor that the next Xbox console will run Steam natively.

- Comment on Game files are verified, House 2 weeks ago:
A House-like TV show about troubleshooting computer issues would be absolutely fascinating to me and a dozen other people. All along you thought it must be drivers but it turns out that the exact RGB configuration used on the case fans combined with the anime waifu wallpaper caused a slight over-voltage on a RAM chip resulting in game crashes and only Hackerman was brilliant enough to see it.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 2 weeks ago:
Yep you got it. So for people with only minimal vision issues it might not be worth it, but for those with severe vision problems it may be worth the risk even though their vision likely will degrade slowly back to their original prescription.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 2 weeks ago:
The sample size of that study was only ~300 people. A study with 20,000 participants in Singapore found that 90% of patients had 20/40 or higher vision after 10 years. It found that high-myopia (-14+)(the most extreme form of near sightedness) patients had a much higher rate of regression, with 39% of those patients losing 2 points or more from their vision within 10 years of tratment (and likely choosing to wear glasses [not listed in the study] or get retreatment [27%]).
So basically, if you have extreme vision problems before LASIK you’re much more likely to have to wear glasses again down the road.
Also, worth pointing out that almost everyone will need reading glasses as they age regardless of LASIK. This conversation only surrounds glasses for near sightedness.

No. 34 million current gamepass subscribers. 40% of Xbox gamers are from US, so roughly 13.6 million subs in the US. There’s 131 million US households, thus 1 in 10.
- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 3 weeks ago:
40% of Xbox gamers are from the US. The US has 132 million households. That means that roughly 1 in 10 US households currently has a Gamepass sub. Hope that puts it into perspective.
- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 3 weeks ago:
PS Plus is closer to Xbox Live than Xbox Gamepass. Xbox Live had 40-50 million subs at the time in 2020.
Presently Xbox Live has 120 million users vs 33 million PS Plus Essentials subscribers. Gamepass has 34 million subs vs 14 million higher-tier PS Plus subs. Even if we drop Nintendo into the mix, Gamepass has an equal number of subs to Nintendo Online members. Seems like they’re doing just fine.

They hit 10 million subs 5 years ago. Not sure what your definition of “lots” is…
- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 3 weeks ago:
Amazing how I’ve been hearing the same thing since the service released 8 years ago. Will it eventually get shitty? Probably. But in the meantime it’s a phenomenal value.

I would go to movie theaters if this were the normal experience. I haven’t been to one since Star Trek 2009 came out.
- Comment on What are the best gaming moments of the last decade? 1 month ago:
+1 for Inscryption. I started playing it blind because I saw it was a card battler. The twist left my jaw on the floor.
- Comment on Open World Games: yay or nay? 1 month ago:
I only like open world games when I can really immerse myself into roleplaying. Oblivion and FFXI (if that counts) were perfect for this style of playing. Most open world games just don’t hit the mark, unfortunately, and I’d rather play a linear game that feels like reading a good book.

Went ahead and requested it off work. Hopefully I don’t lose power for a fuckin week like I did with Oblivion Remastered.

- Comment on Anon contracts herpes 1 month ago:
I got HSV-2 after my longtime partner cheated on me, and it’s absolutely miserable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone take it as lightly as some people do. During the first outbreak I couldn’t pee at all because it was blocking my urinary tract, and it felt like I had a horrible flu. I get outbreaks constantly and they’re so painful that it’s hard to sit at my computer at work. The daily pills are massive and give me a stomach ache, and only reduce the frequency of the outbreaks but don’t prevent them entirely.
I never asked for this, I was never promiscuous, I only did not use protection because we were in a monogamous relationship for 4 years. Dating is hard enough because I’m trans and ugly, so I’ve resigned myself to just never having sex again.
- Comment on Anon describes their dream home 2 months ago:
My first house was an 800 sq ft cottage - smaller than most apartments. The bedrooms could only fit a Full bed, not a Queen. It had the same number of rooms OP listed and was the perfect size for me. I’m not familiar with a “bungalow” but that’s what I’m imagining.

Sounds like your emails are too long. Trim it to the minimum amount of words to get your point across and be professional, and put all questions in a numbered list.

Quest 3. I only play Resonite which has native Linux compatibility so it might be easier for that reason.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
I’m a lifelong Windows user and tried Linux many many times but could never wrap my head around it. Recently I installed Nobara and it’s exactly the noob-friendly experience I need. All of my games run flawlessly, even the VR game I play. And everything is just FASTER. I never realized how bloated Windows was until now. I can’t imagine going back to Windows at this point.
