  Same here, either Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 would be the dream (why not both in a fancy new Orange Box?)

  Hell, a non-VR version of Alyx would make me happy! I do have access to a headset, but I get very sick very fast when I use it. Pounding headaches, nausea, it’s really bad 😒

  Good for you man, that’s a really great watch 😊

  Sad little men like that are most hurt by you not being offended by them. It’s like with internet trolls; non-engagement is the best weapon. It also happens to require the least amount of energy or time. So easy, but so devastating to their ego.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Update 1.1 (Beta)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are they so excruciatingly slow to release patches? This patch doesn’t even cover game-breaking issues, such as the bow’s paralysis perk crashing the game if you trigger the perk twice in a row. There’s a workaround where you edit .ini files to set the chance of paralysis to 0%, but most people aren’t gonna do that.

  I got 100% of the cheevos and logged 110 hours in doing so. The game crashed for me literally hundreds of times (maybe close to 1,000), and I submitted the bug reports for every one of them. I had to quicksave every minute, to avoid losing too much progress. It’s the most unstable piece of software I’ve ever used, game or otherwise.

  The game itself is great, but fuck me… almost 2 months later and they patched maybe 0.2% of the crashes and bugs every player is encountering 😒

• Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't?

  Kids. Thank god I’m not attracted to kids. Or animals. Anything else is fair game. Feet attached to a consenting adult are fine. Don’t see the big deal. I like to spit-shine the rusty sheriff’s badge, so why the fuck would I care if someone likes a boring regular appendage like a foot? 🤷‍

  Unless there’s some angle to this non-foot people don’t understand? Like, maybe being turned on by feet is comorbid with an uncontrollable need to blast rope over any uncovered foot you see? Now that would suck.

  As a kid, I thought he was singing “Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard” and I have never been able to correct it in my brain. I know what he’s actually singing, but the misapprehension is indelible. I don’t even know what I thought it meant, like he’s a demonic sideboard? A sentient set of shelves that Beelzebub stores his malevolent vases on? 🤷‍

  I’m going to go out on a limb and assume she didn’t even mention Turkey in her ‘talk’.

  We’ve successfully extinctified hundreds of species through our very excellent human-centric activities. I’ve yet to see any environmental fallout from it. Where are the secondary and tertiary extinctions of the animals that depended on the first lot we rubbed out? Where are the corpses left in the wake of the dodo’s disappearance? Big Environmental Science™ won’t tell you, because they can’t. They’re shills and liars, all of 'em. Rich elites who make bank on selling textbooks at a 1,200% markup.

  Who’s up for starting a truthseeker podcast with me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hillary Clinton: How Much Dumber Will This Get?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hillary is so hated on all sides that her saying ‘drinking water is vital to survival’ would cause just about everyone to consider, if only for a brief moment, crimping their taps shut.

  Her mocking the Trump syndicate for mishandling classified and sensitive information is pretty insane. As much as the “but her emails!” crowd are stupid marks, her private email server was probably worse (from a national security perspective) than accidentally CCing an Atlantic journo into an airstrike discussion. It’s all awful, don’t get me wrong, but Hillary needs to find something else to do with her time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to compress video files, you’ll need to reencode them. Maybe using something like HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec). But for 80GB of videos, you’ll be there for a while and probably won’t shrink them enough to be worth it. It would likely take less time to simply re-download the files later, even with a mediocre internet connection. In practical terms, you won’t get that 80GB to be any smaller.

  ISOs don’t compress anything, as far as I know, or at least not by default. I think they’re basically just a container.

  To reencode your videos, you can use the free HandBrake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This will be my first experience of Morrowind, the original is just way too old for me to try getting into now. I’m a Philistine, I know, but I need a modern UI and interface and UX and all that jazz. Skyrim is pretty old at this point too, but it still holds up in all the important ways. So, I shall wait for the release of Skywind! (Could probably have phrased that in a slightly less flatulent way…)
