- Comment on Shopify pulls Kanye’s website offline over swastika merch 1 week ago:
Dude literally has bipolar disorder and doesn’t take his medication
I said:
Because the people around him always say “yes”.
Meaning the reason he doesn’t take his pills is people telling him he’s a genius.
I hope that finally made sense, but when you need as much help to understand things as you do, you shouldn’t act like that when people try to help you understand
You think you’re being cool and edgy, but the truth is people who can help you just give up on you.
Online it’s easy, if I block you its like you never existed.
Watch…

They’re like an improv group, no matter what Kanye says, they call him a genius. Because if you do t, you’re out of his orbit.
Not taking his medication is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. But it 100% exacerbates the problem.
- Comment on Shopify pulls Kanye’s website offline over swastika merch 1 week ago:
someone well known as him he deserves special treatment
Kanye wouldn’t be this crazy if he wasn’t famous, so it’s not really special treatment.
The constant positive reinforcement no matter what just makes them go crazier.
Like, “pushing the envelope” isn’t sustainable, eventually you get to the point where you’re only paying attention to topping yourself, it’s not “is this better?” anymore its just “is this crazier?”
It apparently doesn’t take long till you’re throwing swastikas on everything just to get people to notice.
Most people grow out of that shit. But Kanye got paid insane amounts of money to act like that, he’s going to keep doing until it stops working.
- Comment on Kingdom Come Dev Believes Unreal Is Ill-Suited For Open World Games, And Is Slowing Down Work On Witcher 4 1 week ago:
They really buried that this is an 11 month old quote…
But yeah, I was guilty of expecting a groachical experience like Seluna’s without realizing the trade off was an N64 level of being stuck on rails.
5ish years from now it could be different.
But it’s not about making the best games, it’s about making the most money.
If you have a propitiatory engine, your hiring base is limited. And studios don’t want long-term employees, so they want generic engines with a readily available labor pool.

You can have an argument with me about it, or you could read the article…
Personally, I think the chances of you believing the article is a lot higher than you believing me rewording the article
- Comment on ‘Humiliated’ mom sues Airbnb after ‘grossly inaccurate’ background check leads to ban 2 weeks ago:
How are these public?
They’re copies of old records that are owned by private companie
Like, that’s the entire point of the article and the lawsuit…
- Comment on ‘Humiliated’ mom sues Airbnb after ‘grossly inaccurate’ background check leads to ban 2 weeks ago:
Booking the family into hotels and RV parks became the only option for Doe, which were often either unaffordable or too small for everyone to fit, the complaint states.
I dunno about all that…
It’s a legit question about how the expungement of records works tho. Back in the day no one kept records on hand, now if a record exists and part of it is expunged…
Those records still exist out there somewhere.
- Comment on Rumor: Marvel Is Making Another Avengers Game 4 weeks ago:
It’s insane to me Disney hasn’t bought up game studios.
They had one till 2016, but they closed it instead of buying up talent.
Just not having to pay for licensing fees is huge, it’s not like Disney to not want the whole pie instead of just a slice.
- Comment on Cross-platform Nexus Mods App v0.7.2 improves the UI, adds Bannerlord Software Extender support 4 weeks ago:
So “cross platform” as in Linux and windows…
Technically correct but for a second I thought they meant Xbox or Sony had taken down their walled gardens.
- Comment on Nvidia are pretty sure the RTX 50 series GPUs won’t melt like the RTX 4090 did 4 weeks ago:
The issue is if they’re not plugged in all the way…
At least one manufacturer set it up so if the power cord isnt fully seated, an error light comes on and the GPU doesn’t work.
And I have zero idea why Nvidia didn’t do it themselves so it’s on all cards.
- Comment on The Nintendo Switch 2 looks like a Steam Deck but worse 5 weeks ago:
Buddy, if you can’t tell this is satire by the end…
- The Switch 2 runs Mario Kart and I hate Mario Kart because my friend Nathan always beats me at it Why should the best driver be determined by the contents of magic boxes, it’s a stupid game
- Comment on The Marvel Rivals Season 1 Update Has Disabled The Ability To Use Mods 1 month ago:
I think the only reason they took off in the first place was it’s free to play.
It’s common sense that PvP and mods don’t mix but because there was a zero investment people did it, which made them popular enough people who do t know better thought it was fine.
Glad to see they just disabled them instead of banning accounts for using them.
- Comment on Quantum computing stocks dropped over 40% after Nvidia CEO prediction 1 month ago:
No shit…
And once we have that, then it’ll take another 10-20 years to get actual AI, at bets.
The only surprising part is companies are admitting it, but they couldn’t keep the hype going forever and the house of cards coming down faster could be better long term.
- Comment on VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos 1 month ago:
Leave it to VLC to implement one of the few good uses…
Reminder that not only can’t you donate money to keep it going, but also time if you’re good enough with computers.
www.videolan.org/contribute.html
When I grabbed that link tho I was surprised you can contribute “materials” as well…
If you own a rare piece of media VLC can’t play (even stuff like satellite cards) you can mail it to VLC so someone can try to get that format to work in VLC.

- Comment on AI Features Fall Short: 73% of iPhone Users and 87% of Samsung Users Say They Add Little or No Value 2 months ago:
Regardless of what that vague statement means, you probably have zero reason to be as confident as you sounded.
But I’m not going to guess which method you’re alluding to.
- Comment on AI Features Fall Short: 73% of iPhone Users and 87% of Samsung Users Say They Add Little or No Value 2 months ago:
The only way to keep driving stocks up is to constantly come up with new shit.
But the fact is the home computing boom and even mobile phones was an anomaly. That growth is unsustainable.
However since stock prices are just investors opinion, companies have decided to just declare AI implementation is ground backing and everyone wants/needs it. So among investors they’ve just created this disconnected reality that it was, and now it clearly isn’t.
This reckless behavior among corporations in a hyper capitalist society often causes collapses. With this kind of concentration of wealth, it doesn’t take many rich out of touch assholes panicking and taking their money out to fuck literally everyone over.
A handful of billionaires could wipe out everyone’s 401k in afternoon. If they pulled their money out of banks, there’s not the liquidity for everyone else too.
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will be announced next month — and it may require a new cable 2 months ago:
Yeah. There’s almost always a software update and high end (and sometimes surprises) gain significant bonuses.
But that has to lineup between both devices and the cable for it to actually manifest.
Pretty sure most “standard” HDMI you’d see first can handle 4k/120 tho. So it’s doubtful stuff will randomly already be capable of 2.2.
The article doesn’t seem to guess, but the 120fps is the weak point. I could see 240hz/4k or 120/8k and if you’re real lucky you could push something like 180 on a 2.1.
But just like, with very rare exceptions there’s no reason to be using HDMI for that type of stuff when other options already exist
It’s good to see the standard evolve, but it’s more future proofing than anything.

Bud…
You’re having a separate conversation than anyone else…
This isn’t the first time this has happened, and I don’t think me putting effort in has ever helped you understand anything.
I’m sorry, I can’t help you anymore.
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 2 months ago:
Nope.
But at this point I don’t understand why you haven’t just read the article…
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 2 months ago:
Nope, 22… Article says that’s 75k.
And each one is in custom “hideaway” cabinets that they said cost as much.
They didn’t do anything cheap, and once you get to a certain level, everything becomes crazy expensive.
This is the type of shit you do when you’re the problem and money is an afterthought.
I don’t know why anyone would celebrate it.
- Comment on Black Ops 6 devs still looking into unfair spawning system - "yes, we saw ourselves in a Killcam before selecting a Loadout too" 3 months ago:
That’s spawn camping
This is as soon as you join the game spawns a player character that just stands there while you load in and pick your first load out.
The fix is just having it not spawn a model till the player has loaded the level and selects a load out.
What’s bad is they’re tweeting about it instead of just fixing it.
- Comment on Paradox respond to the accusation that they fix games with paid DLC - "we try to find a middle ground" 4 months ago:
They make a good point about this method keeping a game going a decade, but if ore how this limits people who want to get into the game 5 years in.
Base game might only be $25, but so are the 5 DLCs since.
For someone who plays that game often and buys as they come out. It’s not that bad
But for more casual or new players, they might not want to invest in the base game if they’re not sure about the mods. It feels like you’re paying for half a product.
I think they can easily get away with selling a new game in a series every 2-3 and retain more features.
- Comment on Just 5,000 people use the Rabbit R1 every day 4 months ago:

- Comment on 12 things to do while you're a meatshield in Black Ops 6 5 months ago:
- Explain to your captor that they have blundered right into your trap. How could they have fallen for such an obvious ruse? Truly, it would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic.
It would completely break the mechanic, but would be so satisfying if you could pull the pin on your own grenade when it happens.
I don’t know if omnimovement will stick around tho. It might get better when people are used to it, but from beta it just made people really easy to shoot. Everyone just immediately dived in a random direction and froze. Compared to sliding and bunny hopping, omnimovement seemed to slow stuff down more than anything.
Plus I accidentally dove off buildings sideways/backwards more times then I’d like to admit when I just wanted to lay down
- Comment on Starlink says it will block X in Brazil 5 months ago:
and they seemingly cut off Starlink accounts just because he’s associated.
There was a WhatsApp message (only way they managed to communicate) where someone on behalf of Starlink said something that cleared Brazil to treat them as operating under the same entity.
Like, everything that is happening is because Musk just keeps making unforced errors.
It doesn’t seem like any legal counsel has been involved at all, and he’s just keeps randomly saying the worst possible thing he can at any moment.
- Comment on Starlink says it will block X in Brazil 5 months ago:
They’re doing it to get Starlink accounts unfrozen, but there’s a good chance it won’t be unfrozen till Musk pays twitter’s fines.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 5 months ago:
One or the other.
BG3 is a huge game with no dlc or extra purchases.
I’m fine with games like that being more, but if they’d have went like most games these days and done 2-3 dlcs, then the base game should be cheaper.
Like, buying bg3 was basically buying the “game of year” edition because the game had so much content
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 5 months ago:
I mean, my TV got VRR thru an update…
Would have been great if it shipped with it, but being able to get the update is better than getting mailed a usb to do it manually.
