- Comment on Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats 4 days ago:
It’s easy to over-provision permissions. Just look at all the wide open S3 buckets people report on every few months.
- Comment on Downdetector and Speedtest have been sold for over $1 billion 5 days ago:
Thank you! It’s divination in my opinion.
- Comment on Banning children from VPNs and social media will erode adults' privacy 1 week ago:
It’s frustrating that they act like it’s private right now. The whole situation is typical absurd human behavior.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Update Indicates Positive Outlook in EU Battle Despite Roadblocks 2 weeks ago:
Why can’t SKG do those things? They all seem… oh. ROSS IS AN AMERICAN. I see.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Update Indicates Positive Outlook in EU Battle Despite Roadblocks 2 weeks ago:
What political affiliations would be used against them if they were just part of SKG?
- Comment on Steam is giving some players refunds for Ashes of Creation, which had the biggest MMO Kickstarter campaign ever, after leadership resignation and mass layoffs 4 weeks ago:
MMO games and Kickstarters don’t seem like a good idea. They never work out.
- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 4 weeks ago:
5k and 6k is where it’s at. Get hip.

- Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 1 month ago:
This one’s all on Logitech.
- Comment on what exactly is the steam frame? 2 months ago:
No Mans Sky will not run well on the HMD you’ll want to stream that one from your PC.
- Comment on Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats 2 months ago:
I guess so! I do use steam input. I bet it’s because I is a PS5 controller with Destiny 2. Even though it’s a Sony game, I don’t get native support.

- Comment on Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck 2 months ago:
This is in part because of electron.
Even Steam is a chromium app. 😥
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 2 months ago:
VRChat is the most popular “metaverse” and it’s still growing every year.
So it’s weird to call the metaverse dead when Horizon wasn’t even in the lead among its competitors.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 2 months ago:
Yea, and asset ownership will make federated Social VR awkward. As in, few will put in time making spaces and games that can be instantly duplicated and rehosted.
It’s an upside that platforms have, they can do at least some moderation regarding content theft. It’s never perfect, but it’s better than a free for all.
- Comment on Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games “to expand PC gaming” and release “ultraportables” in the future 2 months ago:
ARM is so hot right now.
Seriously, consumer devices are all slowly moving in that direction. Valve sees where things are going.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 3 months ago:
The Steam deck is portable first. So I assume they don’t expect you to dangle a drive off of it.
That said, I bet the Steam Machine will get them to rethink this, and hopefully the changes come to the Deck too.
- Comment on [Meta] This community has been renamed to Steam Hardware to include the newly annouced Steam Machine and Steam Frame 3 months ago:
I think a migration to a properly provisioned community is a better idea. It seems Voyager and other clients don’t display whatever you supposedly changed by default. (I know, the display name).
Changing the display name isn’t enough.
- Comment on The age verification effect: adult site traffic plummets, VPN use soars 4 months ago:
These people are in too deep.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 5 months ago:
I hope they really shit the bed and make ads appear like Achievements periodically. Complete with the same notification sound.
- Comment on Despite fakery concerns, Stop Destroying Videogames campaign claim "around 97%" of their signatures are valid so far 5 months ago:
That’s a really good ratio considering the people surrounding the issues.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 6 months ago:
The moles are many. They are resilient.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 6 months ago:
Yup! It’s all happening as they said and as is consistent with their past.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 6 months ago:
This lines up with how their VR hardware is rolling out too.
And the “Soon” meme, of course.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
It appears to be a company that makes software for power plants. I wonder how secure their software is.
- Comment on A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it 6 months ago:
Maybe it generates AI porn.
- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 6 months ago:
Ah I see. Interesting! I always assumed the steam deck was just providing what high end console controllers were standardizing back there.
- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 6 months ago:
Don’t the expensive (over $100) controllers that PlayStation and Xbox offer have paddle controls on the back? I think they are Elite and Edge controllers.

And then we need to nationalize our basic infrastructure. Electricity and Fiber first.
