- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will be announced next month — and it may require a new cable 6 days ago:
USB-C won’t help with the “features”, as it has the exact same issue. The new HDMI version requires new cables due to higher transfer rates, the same goes for new USB-C versions. You can’t reach the fastest speeds today with every USB-C data cable.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing 3 weeks ago:
Really? How do you get that from “you retain your rights and give Twitter a license to use your content”? Retaining rights literally means not giving them up.
- Comment on LG’s first 480Hz OLED gaming monitor is $1,000 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but why do you expect the input lag to be different for the different monitors that were tested? If that’s the case, we should be able to point at those differences in the test setup, instead of saying “yeah, they were probably just too dumb”.
The game logic also shouldn’t be different, as CS logic hasn’t been reliant on frame rates for a long time (if ever).
- Comment on Sony reportedly looking to acquire Kadokawa, owner of ELDEN RING dev FromSoftware 4 weeks ago:
Please kindly fuck off. I don’t want Sonys bullshit touching these games.
- Comment on LG’s first 480Hz OLED gaming monitor is $1,000 4 weeks ago:
What is “game engine granularity” supposed to mean?
Unless they fucked up the test, the only difference is how fast pictures arrive on the screen. If the test showed that pro players were able to tell a difference, it’s reasonable to assume that this is actually the case, unless you can show a flaw in their test setup.
- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 2 months ago:
It’s a new statement in a new paragraph
What is a new statement in a new paragraph? You didn’t reference anything specific in your paragraph, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Accept that you misunderstood and move on.
Accept what? Move on from what? You’re making no sense.
- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 2 months ago:
No, he didn’t say “those”. He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general.
When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.
He mentioned that he has a bunch of Linux native games. The commercial ones run worse compared to running under Proton. This isn’t complicated. Accept that you misunderstood and move on.
No idea how you get to that from my statement that’s advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷
Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?
- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 2 months ago:
The guy said he bought games, and those don’t work as well natively. You can list games all you want, if he didn’t buy them it won’t change his experience.
So what? They should stop taking money for unmaintained games then.
Yeah, fuck those Linux users! Only sell those games to Windows users! That will help Linux market share :)

Damn, I’m excited! It’s a beautiful and unique experience, definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

- Comment on Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree patch makes Blessings stronger and the game easier 5 months ago:
No, you’re wrong. The patch notes specifically state:
The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.
- Comment on Hades II's First Patch Changes How Sprint And Resource Collecting Works 7 months ago:
I’m happy that spawn frequencies have been increased - collecting specific ingredients (like Driftwood) was seriously annoying before. I saw 2 Driftwood during one run for the first time today!

Thank you very much! :)

I did, for a show I’m interested in. It’s very hard to get any discussions or traction going. Any suggestions on how to facilitate these things?
- Comment on ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 to Premiere on Netflix in 2024 10 months ago:
The teaser I was talking about was released almost two years ago. It looks like they’ve released a bunch more over the last months, but I don’t want to get spoiled, so I can’t really check which ones are good and which aren’t. They’re up on YouTube if you want to have a look yourself :)
- Comment on ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 to Premiere on Netflix in 2024 10 months ago:
I’m assuming that the season 1 MC will only be minimally involved, probably a couple of scenes at the end of the season. The teaser trailers didn’t show any new scenes with him, he was only badly edited in for a second.

- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
This might be the boldest attempt at gaslighting I’ve ever seen. Congratulations!
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
it’s pretty bold to lie like this when there’s a log of my comments just above yours showing that it didn’t say that. but, go on and show me the quote where i said it “contains plastic”
You literally said: “If you like eating melted plastic”. Are you going to claim that this doesn’t imply that American cheese contains plastic?
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
You stated that American cheese contains plastic. It doesn’t. Why do you choose to lie about this?
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
Yes, do you not?
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
I don’t feel the need to misrepresent things I don’t like. So why do you?
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
Are you scared of emulsifying agents, or what do you call “plastic”? There is no plastic in American cheese.
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 1 year ago:
No, it doesn’t melt nearly as well. It does once you add emulsifying salts to the Gouda.

No, it’s not a value. It’s defined as not being a value. No after how much you bend and break maths, infinity will never be a value. Why do you keep telling people wrong things?

Okay, so what? Breaking useful things is bad, no matter what group they belong to. What is positive about no longer being able to use L’Hopital’s rule?

If you were to argue this, you’d suddenly break a lot of useful maths. So why would you do so?

Not quite, Internet Historian also plagiarized parts of his Costa Concordia video. Did hbomberguy actually say that these were the only examples of plagiarism on his channel?
