- Comment on Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register 3 months ago:
Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.
If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.

I’ll take my mentally stable wife scrolling Instagram stuff daily over my nutcase ex that I could game with.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 4 months ago:
Seems like we’re in the same boat, haha.
I also have a big backlog, and there are far more interesting options than their stuff.
- Comment on Gothic, Risen, and Elex Dev "Piranha Bytes" Reportedly the Latest Embracer Studio to Shut Down 4 months ago:
Wasn’t Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?
Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don’t think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.
Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what’s done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I’d choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that’s the mainstream opinion going around.

I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?
If someone did that in Europe they’d be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

Hamster are much like lobsters, in that they just keep growing forever until they can’t molt anymore.
If you don’t laser explode hamsters, they would eventually be able to eat humans. Which is quite scary if you think about it.

There’s a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.
Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there’s always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

So stupid. Everyone knows we use bunny eggs for easter.
- Comment on Last Epoch 1.0.3 patch notes include lower stash tab costs and more 8 months ago:
It’s weird. There seem to be a lot of games that offer native Linux clients but they tend to not be maintained that well. Quite a shame really.
