- Comment on Google AI Overviews put people at risk of harm with misleading health advice 2 hours ago:
Google has been my default search engine in Firefox for… Well, pretty much ever. Lately when you go there, there’s a full screen pop up asking if you want to try out AI Search mode. Nevermind the fact that I already applied a ublock filter to cut out their AI summary bullshit, no this is on top of that. You can click on the AI mode button, or click Not Interested.
I have clicked Not Interested every few days for the last month or so. Without fail, every two to three days max, it asks again in a full screen pop up. Every time, Not Interested.
And today I just said, why in the fuck am I doing this? I finally fucking switched. Fuck Google and fuck this AI trend. I’m so goddamn sick of it being crammed down my fucking throat holy shit. If I fucking say Not Interested, it means I am NOT FUCKING INTERESTED.

No it wasn’t quite the same looking. It’s not like a 3d platform game from what I recall, more like an old school dungeon crawler/adventure. 3d was a bad way to describe it, I should just have linked the trailer lol
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
Well, no, that’s not all that you said.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
Seemed like you attacked a position that I did not take. If I misunderstood, then my bad.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
Not only are they doing well, they have a new 3d mode or game coming out, not sure which it was.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
That’s a nice straw man you’ve built there, but me and my opinion are over here.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
I read about their native implementation and think that is awesome of them. I have been meaning to try it again since but honestly remain skeptical that it’s an enjoyable experience, for my standards at least. I think that is a game that will remain on desktop for me.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
Yeah that’s fair. I definitely made do with less than Isaak playing conditions when I was younger and it was all I could manage. Bit of a privileged take from me.
- Comment on Most Played Games on Steam Deck for 2025 4 days ago:
I am continuously shocked that people play things like BG3 or Cyberpunk on their Steam Deck. I love my Deck, and play it lots, but those games run like absolute garbage on it.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2's dev team is set to double in size by the end of 2027, hopefully meaning its cyberfoundations'll be laid by then 5 weeks ago:
Hopefully that means the second one won’t be a broken mess at launch.

Sooo, a Switch?
- Comment on Steam Controller 1 month ago:
Steam Frame is their new VR headset (not an Index successor, more a Quest competitor).
Steam Machine is their pc.

Of course they do. This isn’t really a secret.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 2 months ago:
I used to think Game Pass was a good idea but more and more I rather owning my games.
(yeah, yeah, I know, you’re only buying a license)
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 3 months ago:
Hope it’s good because honestly BG3 was unplayable on Steam deck for me despite being “verified”.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 3 months ago:
I will just have to respectfully disagree with you that one has anything to do with the other. I find I can be in favour of advances in technology while not being in favour of unoptimized games.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 3 months ago:
Uh, I mean, this is generally unavoidable with the passage of time and the advance of technology so, as vague as a statement as yours is, yes I do think so.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 3 months ago:
I think this is a good thing, personally.
- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 4 months ago:
It’s incredible as an emulation machine. And emudeck made it incredibly easy to set up.
- Comment on The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat 5 months ago:
It depends on the anti cheat. Many anti cheats for Windows require kernel level access. That doesn’t fly on Linux. But again, it depends on which one, some work just fine on Linux.
- Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape' 5 months ago:
For what it’s worth, Kevin Spacey has not been found guilty of anything. He was found not liable in New York and acquitted in the UK.
- Comment on Getting The Witcher 4 to run at 60FPS on Xbox Series S will be ‘extremely challenging’ says CDPR 6 months ago:
Either a bit of fun in private, or a very funny autocorrect. I’ll let you decide.
- Comment on Getting The Witcher 4 to run at 60FPS on Xbox Series S will be ‘extremely challenging’ says CDPR 6 months ago:
The reason is it looks dope. Nothing about bidet games are “practical” other than the dopamine hit we get from playing them.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
I do a lot of things other than gaming.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
Well it’s not a very compelling sales pitch to tell me to ditch the multiple thousands of dollars of hardware and just buy new stuff. If the goal is to get people to switch to Linux from Windows, I hope you’re not the one leading the charge.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
Even among that I’ve varied. In one installation I have Windows sharing a drive, separate partition for Linux. In another computer they’re on completely different drives.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
Not all instances were dual booting, nor are all of the problems I’ve encountered or described above related with dual booting.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
I’ve tested out Manjaro, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, Mint, and Fedora.
Problems have been all over the spectrum. Not being to install at all, trouble getting it to dual boot after installing (despite following a guide), getting NAS drives to be writeable, hardware compatibility, finding alternatives to proprietary software which may or may not do everything the original did, and more.
I’m semi enjoying the tinkering for now, and I’m not regretting trying to de-Windows as much as possible, but I think people who say Linux is ready for mainstream are out of touch with the average person’s computer literacy.

“any computer”? Come on, what is that hyperbole? My desktop runs Wilds stable just fine.
