- Comment on Let's discuss: The Sims 5 months ago:
Been playing TS4 again, lightly modded to facilitate poly relationships. I’m not a fan of the shit storm of DLC that’s basically the staple of the game’s monetization at this point, but that’s nothing that can’t be solved on the high seas. Otherwise, I still enjoy the series a lot. (Also, shout-out to the various weird spinoffs like Castaways.)

Sadly a lot of the privacy switches are exclusive to enterprise and education users, but our endpoints are running Pro (we have our previous supervisor to thank for that). I guess I’ll hope this is one of the ones we can just toggle off without any fuss.
- Comment on New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC 5 months ago:
I’m curious whether the increasingly invasive of telemetry of modern Windows will have legal implications surrounding patient privacy here in the US. I work IT in the healthcare field, and one of our key missions is HIPAA compliance. What, then, will be the impact if Microsoft starts storing more and more in-depth data offsite? Will keyboard entries into our EHR be tracked and stored in Microsoft’s servers? Will we subsequently be held liable if a breach at Microsoft causes this information to leak, or if Microsoft just straight-up starts selling it to advertisers? Windows is our one-and-only option for endpoint devices, so it’s not like we can just switch.
I genuinely don’t have the answers to these questions right now, but it may start to become a serious conversation for our department in the future if things continue at the trajectory they’re going at. Or, maybe I’m just old and paranoid and everything will be okie dokie.

Playing on my Oldschool Runescape ironman. I’m currently grinding out cooking so I can cook my own sharks. Other than that it’s a bunch of stupid farm runs. >:(
- Comment on Android users who have a keen eye for design and detail, how is the whole stutter/lag situation? Esp. after a few years of use? 7 months ago:
I’ve had a pretty smooth experience with both the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 7 Pro.
- Comment on Super Mario Maker 1 is now beaten! 7 months ago:
A bit of an anticlimactic ending, but it’s still nice to see Team 0% achieve their goal.

Air Ride is goated.
- Comment on What are some good PSP games? 8 months ago:
Maybe not your speed genre-wise, but Final Fantasy Tactics has a version for the PSP. Goated game.
- Comment on Any service cheaper than Backblaze? 8 months ago:
Are you doing personal file storage, or is this for backups from a server? If it’s the latter case, and if your use case would benefit from deduplication, you could just stay on Backblaze and use something like Duplicacy (available as a free CLI app or paid web UI) to deduplicate and encrypt your files. This is the approach that I use for my homelab. The only issue you run into is that, in the case of Duplicacy, you have to use the CLI or web UI to restore your files (and god help you if you lose your keys).

The first bit is basically me whenever I do a challenge run in a Pokemon game.
- Comment on What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? 10 months ago:
I never played Majora’s Mask. Having seen speedruns of it, I’m pretty sure it would have fried my brain as a kid.

This was me playing Ocarina of Time.

Nevermind the government or hackers, I use a home-grown VPN to keep Comcast off my ass.
