  My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.

  It’s my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I’m someone who never vacuums otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Suffers Major DDoS Attack During Launch of “Black Myth: Wukong”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably Epic. It’s one of the times Steam is at peak usage and sabotaging a big Steam launch would ‘work well’ for them.

  Of course trying to sabotage and failing makes Steam look better, which is why Epic continues to flounder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC proposes all AI-generated content in political ads must be disclosed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or prohibited. Why would this ever be considered in political ads, seriously?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Antitrust? Pff.

  How about crimes against humanity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes of your dead loved ones are a booming Chinese business⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s more than a bit rude.

  He’s saying he likes the people despite their government. He admires parts of their spirit and drive to remember their loved ones.

  We can learn even from those we may consider our adversaries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telcos keep using “insecure” Chinese gear because of congressional inaction⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they don’t give a fuck about security. Telcos print money and can afford it. Mandate they do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Catholic AI Priest Stripped Of Priesthood After Some Unfortunate Interactions⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, this is hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian court sentences Meta spokesperson to six years in absentia⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “opens new tab”

  Heh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Air Force confirms first successful AI dogfight⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s terrifying.

  Moreso if I were an aircraft but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I did it. I finally did it. After all these years, all the time I spent searching, I found the last known fully offline build for Graal classic.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it was a multi-player Zelda-like with user made campaigns.

  I can see why that would be a hell of a lot of fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it was used to great effect. There’s a ton of good stuff in the D&D mythos that can be made into other solid games.

  Hasbro will fuck it up, I agree, but the potential is undoubtedly there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Douglas Is Cancelled’ Stars and Its Creator on the Cancel Culture Series: “Pick Your Heroes With Care”⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good point, thanks for adding it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Douglas Is Cancelled’ Stars and Its Creator on the Cancel Culture Series: “Pick Your Heroes With Care”⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a bad read. For those who only want to know why Trump is mentioned, they claim you cannot cancel someone with no shame.

  Only someone capable of self-reflection and growth can be cancelled, because they step back from the limelight in order to reassess things.

  I don’t know I agree as part of canceling is deplatforming, but it’s an interesting viewpoint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones Prequel Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Eyes Late 2025 Premiere⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant in the main series.

  Nice reference in your username.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones Prequel Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Eyes Late 2025 Premiere⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And still not a book from Martin. I’ve also refused to have anything to do with his other properties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands (2024) Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no familiarity with the games so I’m clueless but…

  This looks completely terrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside Sony’s ‘Madame Web’ Collapse: Forget About a New Franchise⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear you but this one is another in a line of very misguided Sony movies, and the errors made in its production completely undermined both the plot and how it was going to tie into the failing multiverse.

  In regards to DC movies, nobody is expecting them to be good for a while yet while they reboot everything. Then Marvel is flagging with several issues but Sony surprises everyone by releasing yet another non-Spiderman Spiderman movie.

  Now on top of all that you’re right, sexism is playing into this too, especially from the toxic male fanboy culture, but to me this one was already on extremely shaky ground before it was released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the sixth sense worth watching now ?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, knowing both the premise and that there is a Twist is enough to give away the ending in this case.

  I guessed it, saw it in the theater, and was right. Still a good movie though, maybe hasn’t aged perfectly but not badly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 Has Been Completed by 1.3 Million Players, Shadowheart is Most Popular Love Interest⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My first playthrough I slept with the Emperor and then Wyll, and ended up with Wyll. I killed Karlach for Wyll.

  Second one I was with Lae’zel but was a durge. I wanted to be with Karlach since I didn’t have her on my first playthrough but then I killed Isobel. That dooms Karlach.

  So this time I’m aiming for Karlach. She’s so fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your evil deeds may be causing Baldur's Gate 3 bugs⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s hilarious.

  My second run on my PS5 has been so terribly glitchy. And yes, it’s a Dark Urge run.

  My response to being caught is to murder some more.

  Imagine doing a Jar Jar impression and having to live with it for an entire game.
