- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 1 day ago:
Heh, they already beat you to it. If you haven’t seen Her, you really should. It’s a very poignant movie, but it has a good ending. It is extremely fitting as people get lonely.

Honestly, I feel like some of what AI does isn’t necessary. If you’re having trouble finding out if someone is either being distant out of respect, or distant because they are uninterested, you could ask them in a kind way about what their vibes are. I think I’d prefer honesty over AI, and that’s what I did when I was single and still dating.

Trump was sworn in in January of '25. That really was under the Biden admin, not that there was much they could do with Congress locked up with crazies and the US government Hindenburging around it.

Thanks!

It’s infuriating. People are asking for a hand up, not a hand out.

Edited: I removed the ? tracking link. Can people without subs still view it? I checked in a cookie-free tab, but wanted to make sure.

I wish we had central planning for power and rail. It would help a lot with the expansion of both technologies.

Silksong and helldivers 2.
I wanna try MGSV, but it hasn’t gone on sale since the 70 buck remaster came out.
- Comment on Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? 1 week ago:
Finding things is such a pain in the ass nowadays. You get a problem with something, say you need a spare part. None of the stores have it. It is on Amazon…but it won’t be here for a solid two weeks. It’s infuriating.
Something that should take less than an hour to fix is now a multi week wait, because of stupid online retailers. And it will be something super common, like a tool to tighten up loose spokes on a bike wheel.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 1 week ago:
I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.
- Comment on PayPal's Honey to integrate with ChatGPT and other AIs for shopping assistance 1 week ago:
It’s a scam. I’m surprised people haven’t gone to jail, though in the current climate, you know none of them would see a cell.

I miss those days!

Was she the “challenge everything” voice too?

Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.

Ugh, I hate how there’s no opt out. Just read a good blog post on dark patterns, written by a furry. It’s a good post.
- Comment on ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments 3 weeks ago:
The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast.

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash 4 weeks ago:
There’s a fourth borderlands game? IDGAF if it even comes to steam this time, silksong is $20.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 month ago:
I wish there were more games that had NSFW stuff, but not as the main focus. BG3, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, etc all have nudity, but the sex scenes are short, cropped, and half assed because they are embarrassed.
There needs to be quicktime events, better cinematics, and werewolves (BG3, Elder Scrolls, Witcher) during erotic scenes. Bring back A/O games. Many of these shouldn’t be even remotely aimed at anyone below 18 anyways.
Hell, the last genuinely fun game with kink in it was Saints Row 3, and that was for comedic effect.
- Comment on Boston Dynamics humanoid robot shows off whole-body moves 1 month ago:
Underwater welding, too. The compensation is insanely high because it is unbelievably dangerous, especially with large pressure differences (eg, working on undersea sewer outflows that can suck you in while welding them shut.)
Here’s an interesting video on Delta P, and why it’s so dangerous.

I just use Firefox’s built-in reader these days. Typically I like standalone programs, but PDFs seem like something that can easily be integrated into a browser.

It got lazy around Black Ops 1.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement Stream (starts in 48 hours) 1 month ago:
Alyx honestly lived up to the hype. The only things that bugged me were that enemies were too slow (the fast zombie was removed entirely) and certain objects like coats weren’t able to be picked up like they could in Boneworks. I wanted to throw a coat over zombies and beat them like a pinata with a crowbar. :)
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
Hal0 4 and Below Zero come to mind. Facebook buying beatsaber and ruining it with their filthy little hands, too. It took a huge nosedive in quality.

- Comment on Pebble is officially Pebble again 2 months ago:
I want a watch that isn’t a pain in the ass to set alarms, timers, timezones, etc. I also want 24H time and many days of battery life.
That’s why I’m getting it. It will be nice for cooking and work, haha.
- Comment on Pebble is officially Pebble again 2 months ago:
It should be. Once it’s out.

If it’s any consolation, I’m sure the American versions (Focus on the family, alliance defending freedom) are right there with them.
Props to them for figuring out a real way of imposing colonialism on impoverished countries and former colonies alike. Now their ideas and laws are spreading worldwide, like someone with diseases shitting into the local water supply. Ugh.
I have a terrible feeling that the people they duped won’t figure this out for 30 years or more, with some trappings lasting for 50+ years.
